So, frustrating isn't it.

With all the constant updates, repeating the same answers and constantly have to troubleshoot.

I get it. Why do we have to do that ALL THE TIME?

Because it works.

  1. Making sure iOS and the game are updated ensures the most recent technology is used.
  2. Clearing the cache or offloading/reinstall removes corrupted files and redundant images that cause graphic glitches.
  3. Ensuring there is 2-15 GB of free storage space allows room for working memory to run processes effectively in such a graphic heavy/memory consuming game.
  4. Disabling backup apps refresh prevents processes from running in the background that interfere with gameplay.
  5. Forcing a restart resets working memory rather than a shutdown/restart which keeps working memory where it's at.

Please, see my profile and all other contributions in the forums to gain a complete picture of why this seems to only affect iOS and why these steps are necessary with every update. 

iOS is unforgiving.

        Ouch. A-Series, released around the same time Apple started implementing M-Series.

        You'll likely continue to have increased performance issues do to age or obsolescence. See my post about the iPhone/iPad for more details

    Do you have any buildings/decorations with extra graphic visuals and effects like the Chicago Skyline... Water (ponds, lakes)? 

    I'd like to clarify one more thing, is it the same pink pixelation and freezing that you mean when you say crashing, or does the game abruptly stop and you see your home screen?

      The game goes black and freezes. It does not go back to the Home Screen.

      I have a few ponds but nothing with special effects, that I know of.
