That's not entirely correct though because I'm also using the latest android update and don't have this issue.
You can also enable "Skip unseen text" in the options and just skip all the text until you reach the part where you left off last time. This shouldn't take longer than 5 or 10 minutes.
My advise is to ALWAYS delete the old version you have before trying to install a new version. Your savegames should always be secured like that because they are stored outside the game folder. As soon as you try to install a new version while the old version is still installed you might corrupt these savefiles.
