DO NOT BUY GEMS!!!!
I had been playing this game religiously and was buying gems to catch up to a friend, who had been playing it for a while, but then it happened. There was an update, and lost access to my account and all the gems that I purchased. I followed their instructions to recover my account, and even contacted them, but no response. I made sure to leave them my email so that we could work towards a solution but Ive heard nothing from them. Their syncing mechanisms to Game Center and Facebook were dysfunctional.
