Guys make sure that if you're loading a save for the update it wasn't one that is saved at the "Thank you for playing" part. If it is just keep hitting back until you're at the end of the last update and it should be able to proceed normally.
I had the game uninstalled for awhile until this new version came out and downloaded it. My files were still there so I think it tracks those separate. I'm on PC idk if its different of Mac or Android.
