Is there enough room in your storage?
I had a similar problem with an android device and i uninstalled it then reinstalled which worked.
As eieio says, i hope you have screenshotted your player id number and also signed up with EA's email registration scheme before doing this.
I've done all of this but since its an idevice it's not as easy to fix this type of issue that way I have reset the whole ipod n tried the game without wifi itll load then crash
I do not believe this problem is isolated, I have seen many players with iPod reporting similar issue, my guess is that the latest PVZ update is not fully compatible with some iPods loaded with latest IOS, the problem is that EA will blame Apple's latest IOS and Apple will say their device works perfectly with other Apps so it is EA who creates the issue, and unfortunately you are getting stuck in the middle.
Bottom line, you can report this fault to both EA and Apple but I would not hold my breath.
Edit. mistypes
Thank u that actually sounds about right to be honest cheers for that 👍
