I have never sent any chat messages to another player. I have never cheated. I log on today and the app gives me a message saying if you deleted an account you may not be able to play for 60 days, otherwise you may be permanently banned. I have not received an email notifying me of any wrong doing. Why are they randomly banning people with ZERO explanation? On top of that, I am a paid member. I am not even able to get into the app to cancel my membership. They are trying to steal my money.

I really like this app. I only play the free version, as five games is quite enough for my tired old brain to handle, and I already have four regular opponents I enjoy playing, within a few weeks. I think I will actually pay for it even though I would not use many of the extra features.

My experience with this app is very mixed. When it works it's great, but at times it simply loses connection, despite my phone showing full 5g internet connection and other apps running. It's really frustrating to 'lose' games that time out because it cuts your connection for no reason, not one I can work out anyway. Is there a workaround to prevent this?
