I'm having this same issue. it's very frustrating. i got my iPhone 6 plus replaced a couple days ago, synced it with iCloud. when i went to continue the game i was playing previously, it opens my app store so as to download game pigeon, but instead of saying "get" in the little box, it says installed. i can't find the app anywhere within my phone to delete it. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

some help from apple support......


applefan1976, not sure if you've figured it out, but i just did it. what i did was use get on iTunes on my computer and connected my iPhone to it wirelessly through wifi. this allowed me to edit the apps on my phone through my computer. I found the game pigeon app in the list and pressed "remove" then clicked done on the bottom right of the iTunes screen to apply the changes, thus successfully removing the app and allowing me to download it again on my phone. hope this helps, applefan!
