Used to love this app

This app was me and my partners favorite thing to do to pass the time together and now it doesn’t work on my new iPhone ?
New update 1/6/21

I play this game for hours a day.. I’m finding the new update hard to get used to. The interactions with the pieces need some work. Previously you could easily drag pieces around and place them, now they seem to randomly slam to the bottom, causing them to go where I didn’t want them too, it’s very frustrating. I turned all of the “settings” off immediately too (ghost pieces, etc.)
Where did my favorite game go?

Why did you replace Pentix with this bad knock_off? The game play is half the size of the original making it impossible to play. Another disappointment.
What happened???
Devoted to V2
This was my favorite game. Then it broke on my iPad with the IOS 14 upgrade. Now they completely redesigned. It only uses 3/4 of the screen now so it’s even tinier. They moved the hold button to the left side? How am I supposed to play with 1 hand now? If you were trying to get me to find a new game, congrats. I have it 2 stars since there still aren’t ads although shrinking the board makes me believe that ads are the next change coming.
They ruined this

This was a full screen game that worked well. The sensitivity of the screen was predictable. They changed it to make blocks drop randomly without the screen being touched. They also made the playing field smaller. I hate this update.
Please bring back the old design!

This new design is awkward and clunky. Everything should still be on the right-hand side. Please make the old one available for those of us who have been enjoying it for years. I've deleted the app. No enjoyment playing with the new design. Very disappointed. It was my favorite game.
Update

Thus latest update made the game worse. Too sensitive, hold box out of thumb range. Please change it back or give us an option to do so.
Great design with implementation problems

Late January 2021 update: scoring is still not restored making this app a great practice app but not a game. Scores are not shown and won't log or update the board Earlier post redesign review: Not only the version upgrade has wiped off my previous score card, the worst part of this implementation is that it doesn't track the game! So you'd have to play in one session. +Pausing for an extended period resets the app. And unlike previous version, resetting the app certainly had no recollection you were even there. +Then, as for bugs the app crashes every time computer loses in 2-player Quad game. Haven't tried playing full or pentix against computer. +Campaign doesn't speed up and even in Advanced mode remains lame. Completed all 40 pentix maps without losing once. +Piece probabilities for Game and Campaign are different; e.g., seemingly you get one cross for every ten lines in Campaign, and reverse of that trend in pentix Game which starts much faster. +Adventure is repetitive and doesn't keep track; i.e., the same map opens again. +Finally, No option to hide or customize 'next' like previous version
Drop function needs improvement
Tuffwang
I love this game, it’s the best version of Pentix and it’s even superseded Tetris for me. However my only gripe is that they keep changing the drop function. First it was no swipe but two buttons on either side of the screen. This worked well but the recent upgrade got rid of those buttons and made it a swipe drop which is about 80% reliable and moved the drop button to the top of the screen where your thumbs can’t reach and is not intuitive to use. Please decide on a layout and make sure it works all the time so I can get my score up!!! Other than that, fabulous and addictive.
