Hi belvoirfarm, thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities.


It may be difficult to retain your settings if the app will not open unless you delete it and download it again.


However, can you try a 'Force Restart' as sometimes that resolves legacy issues with updates and the following link explains how to do this:

And then can you check for updates in the App Store:

You could have a read and see if 'Game Centre' (link below) helps retain your levels but I am not sure as some of my games use my AppleID to login and therefore saves my levels:

I do like Angry Birds but play Angry Birds AR now which I like.


Hope the above helps but wish you luck.


I do hope the suggestions help but wish you luck
