Agreed -- the issues since the last update had me looking for other games. So frustrating! And then all those splash screens to get us to buy stuff!! Instead of offering something to make up for the mess.

I've tried something now, and so far, so good. Friends (80) are still there, after opening and closing the game a few times. So here goes. (Sorry, already posted this to Anna1974; just joined the site a few minutes ago.)

.... beyond frustrated with the way they broke the game and didn't communicate, despite promises to email back. Even a mass email would be good. However, this morning I had enough and did a few things --- and now all my friends are back! Not sure if it will work for anyone else, but here are the steps. Hope it helps.

Closed the game; turned off wifi, put the iPad on airplane mode, then rebooted (held in both the top button and home button at the same time). Restarted the iPad without turning back wifi and airplane mode. Opened the game and went to friends. When it told me I wasn't connected to the internet, turned off airplane mode and turned on wifi.

After a few seconds, my friends were back, visiting and gift giving working again.
