Fun game; app needs some help

I love this game. I play it against the computer and it is very challenging! I also play against a friend. This is where the trouble comes in. It drops the online game occasionally. Biggest problem is when I purchased the "no ad" version. My friend disappeared and on my iPad, it hasnt been dispuesto for several weeks! I wrote to the owning company and did receive a response, but no fix yet. On my phone, I can only play online IF my friend invites me. I cannot invite him at all. Would love to give this app a higher rating if these things could be fixed. Do not purchase the "no ad" version - it will corrupt the app.
