Downgrading
Sorry - experiencing some technical difficulties here this morning, and I have had to temporarily disable the message wall feature while I sort it out. I did see your message though before all hell broke loose. That is indeed a big problem, but there is no easy solution. I can crack the ipas but in order for the install to be stable for the end user, they would need to jail break their device. Going through iTunes could lead to crashes, which sort of defeats the purpose a little. And I am not that comfortable recommending things like jail breaking for the same reason I wouldn't want to start writing guides telling kindle users to root their device in order to back up their game... even though it is a simple enough process and should be easy for most people to do, there is a risk of it going wrong if the person following the instructions isn't that confident with computers, and if it goes wrong the device could be bricked. And added to that it is of course breaking the warranty on devices, so not really a great thing to be trumpeting. To be honest, I am not even convinced that it is good idea to be recommendingAnyway, I would definitely feel responsible if someone damaged their device following instructions on the wiki. So I have changed the downgrade article to tell people to make their own back ups of old game versions. That way they can do it themselves easily and within the normal use of their devices/software. I know that isn't much use for you, but if you have already deleted the game, you should just be able to download again through your own app store and restore progress (9/10 you don't need the back up when doing those steps, it will restore your progress automatically when you type in your name. But if you have any problems, reply here or on my talk page (unless I have the message walls back up and running by then of course). I can also provide you with the cracked ipa and instructions if you want to try doing it that way. But obviously, that is completely up to you as it is a big task to take on.
