Technical difficulties FAQ — mobile devices

Sometimes, you can run into technical difficulties while playing Island Hoppers. This article provides basic steps that help solve most technical issues.

The game doesn't start, crashes, or restarts

1. To run the game properly, your mobile device has to meet the minimum requirements — 2 GB free RAM. Stable performance cannot be guaranteed on devices with lesser RAM capacities.

2. Make sure you are not running too many apps at the same time. That may cause the device to become inoperative.

3. Make sure that you are connected to a reliable network and that the signal of your device is stable.

4. Make sure that your game account is linked to social media, and record your account ID. Then follow these steps:

  • Uninstall the game.
  • Reboot your device.
  • Reinstall Island Hoppers.

When you reinstall the game, your progress will load automatically. Otherwise, you can use this instruction to recover your account.

5. Your operating system has to be up-to-date to ensure stable performance. Check if there are any updates to your operating system.

If none of the above helps, contact our Support team. Our specialists will review your inquiry.
