How do you turn off those animations they added to the start and end of games? Especially on the iPhone app.

I find them annoying and in a couple of cases the game froze up on me after they happened.

Any time you mess with the code stuff can go wrong, so why try to introduce something that is frivolous?

Thanks, Martin!

They must have some ex-Microsoft programmers who like to put things in non intuitive places or different places on different platforms….😏
