Purchased all but two levels and it erased my progress – LongStory Review

I downloaded this game within the past week after seeing it on the App Store main page with great reviews. I played two of the three game saves, both mostly through the game. I opened the game yesterday to find that all my progress, game saves, and purchases had been erased. Restoring purchased content did nothing, even after it acknowledged the success of my restoration. Upon clicking the “continue” button, I was repeatedly met with some error message about URL invalid story scripts, then the app would close itself. I saw great importance in the lessons of this game, and for such reason, was willing to purchase the chapter upgrades. Absolutely no chance under the Sun of paying for them twice though, and if given the option, I would request a refund for the chapters already purchased, being as all content/progress disappeared overnight and no updates (or option to report issues) have been presented. After reviewing previous reviews, it seems this app has had major long-standing technical errors over the course of its existence, so it’s a shame that this persists even after its recent feature on the home page.
