Updates bringing game play to a screeching halt

Sad but true, for the past few weeks, visiting friends is next to impossible. It either takes a very long time to visit a room (so long, that I start doing something else while waiting) or my game crashes when I visit certain friends. For me, I enjoyed visiting friends and leaving tips and gifts more than searching rooms.

This slow down happened after an update a week or so ago. I have an iPad 2. Any suggestions? Is this a bug that might possibly get fixed, or is this the new reality for MM? Whatever they've done, it hasn't been good for me

Hi,
If you've not already done so, update to the latest version (as of today - 03/07/12).
This seems to fix the slow loading time when visiting friends and allows you to eat cake again! Plus there are more quests.
Unfortunately you still can only visit manors where others have updated too, which is irritating.
I'm you've already updated by now, but if you haven't, I hope this helps!

Thanks. Ths new update has been great!
