I agree @JammaTal , I’m surprised that out of the 11 of us participating in the tournament, 3 of us appear to be experiencing the same issue, while some folks don’t encounter it at all. As you said earlier, given the age of the app it seems unlikely that they have the resources to not only address the new Google requirements for 64-bit support, but revisit these issues.
One of the frustrations of keeping hardware until it falls out of Apple support, is that Apple is so generous with their length of iOS support that 1 GB of RAM became inadequate. I had issues with 1 GB of RAM on both my old iPad and my iPhone 6 Plus, so, when it became time to finally replace the iPad, I went a little overboard, especially since I knew I could spread the additional cost over 4 or 5 years.
