I have the “update” sign in the game, but my AppStore does not have 44.0.1. So probably the issue is that the game is looking for 44.0.1 which wasn’t distributed yet to many.
I am also experiencing the update icon issue plus the slowness issue (especially noticed in my Titan attacks this morning). Never had this issue before I updated. IOS on an IPAD.
Also App Store thinks I have the latest version. There is an Open button there under the app, not the Update button if there were updates available.
Also have the update icon but had an update available in the app store. Did the update but the icon is still there in the game. No update is showing in my app store anymore.
44.0.1 just appeared on the Apple Store. I can confirm updating to that version removes the update icon that was showing after the update to 44.0.0.
I am still seeing the delay issue some are seeing. Have to swipe 2 or 3 times before it registers. Not a network issue as Speed Test shows good speeds.
