im seeing all of these new characters that people speak about but ive re-downloaded the game 3-4 times yet still stuck on the 6 month stop thing so im presuming its not out on android?
The android version is up to date. Could your phone perhaps not be updating the app properly? You have to launch the .apk to let it install the update.
Once that's done, you can check the current version on the title screen under the logo.
