If the game is slow - check your free space on the device

Hi everyone - I was explaining in another thread how incredibly slow my iPhone 4 was when playing the game. Others said it was totally fast, and it took me a few days to figure out what was causing my pain.

The sounds and animations would lag and taps would take 3 to 9 seconds to reflect. It was really hard to play and really easy to accidentally end the turn or resign or whatever trying to determine if the game was frozen.

It turns out the game needs some space and if you have less than 1 GB free on the storage - it can get slow. As the space gets lower, it can get so slow as to appear frozen.

If you are troubleshooting bad performance after an game update or an OS update, don't forget to free some space and let the game have room to breathe.
