Please try these steps if you're experiencing download issues:
- Fully close all apps on your device, then shut off your device for 5 minutes to clear the cache.
- Reset your modem/router to refresh your internet connection.
- Ensure the Apple account you are logged into on your device is the same account you used for your original purchase.
- Launch the game and try downloading episodes again.
Please note the download percentage may not be an accurate indicator of how much is actually downloaded. You may see the percentage stall at 99%, but please be assured that the download is continuing in the background and will change to 100% once the download is actually complete.
If you've already purchased the full game and tapping the Restore button does not restore your purchases after reinstalling, we have the following workarounds that can restore prior purchases without using the Restore button or being charged a second time. Please scroll down until you find the steps for which items you originally purchased.
PLEASE ENSURE YOU ONLY FOLLOW THE STEPS FOR THE EXACT ITEM YOU ORIGINALLY PURCHASED. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU PURCHASED THE MULTI-PACK, DO NOT SELECT AN INDIVIDUAL EPISODE, OR THIS WILL RESULT IN YOU BEING CHARGED AGAIN. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE WHICH STEPS TO FOLLOW, PLEASE CONTACT OUR SUPPORT TEAM FOR ASSISTANCE.
