Moving to the next level...

I am given the option to ask friends to open the next level but this is not working, they do not receive the request. This means I have NO option to move to the next level without paying with gold. I have already been knocked back to the first level when the new owners took over.
This used to be a great app. I now fear it is bogus.

And that one star rating is only to send this review!
