Actually as 74.131.133.242 has pointed out about terminating Tiny Village when exiting has resolved the vast majority of the problems. Once in a while I have seen some roll backs, but for the most part it has been wonderful. I’m almost feeling a bit guilty not having to collect coins and feed the dinos more than once!

There are many app killers out there, but the one I am using, Advanced Task Killer (the free version), appears to recall which apps you kill so it has them auto-checked each time you go in to that app. It even does a great job with auto-checking the bloat ware.

I would still like to have a better understanding as to why this is happening. I would think if the app is still running it would have a current copy of the game state; very puzzling how it’s using an old copy.
