Ratings and reviews

There was a glitch in my game or phone. I was unable to restart my game, so I Uninstalled my game like I have done in the past. Upon trying to reinstall the game, I discovered it isn't offered anymore. Problem: the Evony: TKR, is no longer available: the 8 year game, except on pc. I don't want the new shoot them up; invested in the older game. Help me get my game back. You can look at past purchases to find the right game.

It started to use up battery in last few days, on a Samsung device, for no apparent reason. Not only "background", but also "active" (like, 30-60 minutes per day). Maybe coincided with a system popup that appeared one day, about a new "find my device" feature (which I disabled). Unsure if the battery usage is Play Services itself, or something external that triggers it, but this app/module needs UI features to allow troubleshooting battery issues, which seem common enough.

The app will automatically download games that I haven't chosen. Especially when I'm not using my phone. If there is a way to turn this feature off, it's not clear. Setting for this app are hard to find and it needs all permissions turned on or it might not work right. I have also scanned my device for viruses in malware. No problems can be found when I do the scan, so that is not the problem.
