MatchVentures: Match 3 Games

I have reached level 686 and was progressing well until I noticed that my screen kept freezing part way through sudoku, usually in first level as I neared completion. I’ve tried exiting, restarting, starting playing a game where I froze just after leaving the first level via the climbing wall. Any ideas as to a possible solution without deleting the game and starting over. I’m playing on a 1TB 13 inch iPad Air, running iPad OS 26. I haven’t upgraded to 26.2 as every time I upgrade, my unit locks up. I’ve gone to the Genius Bar twice and they check the units software and say it is fine but I hate having to reinstall software using my MacBook Pro then waiting for all my apps to load an recover from the backup.

So why not post my review? Stuck on the same level of 139 for over a month. Emailed support 3 times with zero response. Glad I didn’t spend any money on this game. Just updated the game hoping it would be fixed. Nope.
