I did vote for the other bug report of this issue & it's still not fixed. Tried to get into the game last night & same thing happened.
I hope they're still working on this because it's still happening. The iPad mini version still crashes upon going into the game & my daughter has worked super hard on her worlds. If I have to reset the game or uninstall it she's going to be so upset. It's all because of this stupid 1.6 update 2 weeks ago. Before that everything was fine.
Mine updated as well & it didn't fix the problem. The game is still crashing & kicking me back out to the home screen.
