    Hi
    Just got to my max level 25 and got one doughnut on the bonus, unfortunately didn't have 5000 to get anymore :(
    Has anyone got any tips to gain quick Xp? Was really hoping to get this glitch :(

    I just had the same thing happen to me. I had the bonus up last night but this morning I opened the game and I had another bonus level up! And it just kept on going and going and going.

    Overall, my haul was 106 donuts. Not bad for a days work

    Beneficial glitches usually never happen to me, but I leveled up for my second bonus today and I got the glitch! I was able to get 97 donuts before it ended, but now my XP meter is crazy. Just hoping it will be fixed with the level 26 update. Now I have to decide how to spend my donuts...

    Awww, I leveled up to the first bonus stage a few hours ago and I didn't get any glitch :( I'd much prefer a hard-to-achieve XP goal than a hundred+ donuts.

    So what you are saying is you would actually like a 700,000,000 xp barrier and no donuts? Even if you collect 100,000 xp per day (100,000 is approximately what is required per level today) 700,000,000 would take you almost 20 years to score. Hard-to-achive for sure.

    so all you have to do in order to figure out the glitch if you get it or not is to get a bonus level on xp...? then it just keeps happening? I am only a few thousand away from my first and dont want to miss the opportunity if it arises...

    I leveled up a couple of hours ago (maxed out level 25 for the second time) and when I logged in just now it leveled me up again. I settled for the two donuts I got and it kept giving me more. I got 94 before it stopped. Now I also have to get a ridiculous amount of XP to level up again.

    Now the question is: Dr Nick or a bunch of Homer Buddhas and mystery boxes? It's found money anyway!

    I'm just curious of how the glitch is going to affect those (including me) who got it.

    1) Not fix our XP.
    2) Fix our XP and take away the donuts.

    Unfortunately I don't see it getting fixed and us keeping the donuts, but we'll see. Hypothetically we would not level up to 26 if it's not fixed, thus not being able to get content at Level 26. Could be a blessing, and a curse.

    Should've quit while I was ahead and got Krustylu. Got a bunch of crap with that extra 150 donuts. Oh well.

    Yes, it's automatic. Once you have the required XP, the bonus window pops open and you pick which one you want. Once you collect the donuts, the bonus window will continue to pop up if you have the glitch. If not, it will go away and you resume your regular game. Mine happened with my second level up.

    noooo!!!!!! i was in the middle of the glitch and my iPad battery went dead! fingers crossed that i get it again when the game reloads. it will make up for the money i've pored into this addictive game.

    [edit] ... synced upon reload. no longer getting free doughnuts. stuck with never leveling up again (based on the zillions of exp needed) but hey, i got the lovely shauna for "free" basically.

    also, visit and add me. my springfield is awesome.

    1. Unplug your router, then your modem
    2. Leave both unplugged for about 1 min.

    button or 'Check for Update' button. Install the software update if available.

    I didn't experience the glitch, so no free donuts, but also no ridiculous XP target. I "only" need 126.000, but the problem is that my XP counter is stuck at 11 and won't move, regardless how much XP I rake in :(

    High time for an update!
