Looking to see what others add that we can share.(who knows maybe Chris1 will chime in now and then;) Title Comments Taking a break tonight from my app, and figured there probably were some others checking the Match 3 from Chris1.

(since BTv3 Core still does not correctly handle the Control Panel setting in PlugIns to hidee Tab Bar when Screen Loads (JSON "hideTabBarWhenScreenLoads": "1";) you can manually edit the JSON and include the following in the Control Panel: "hideBottomTabBarWhenScreenLoads": "screenId" (remember last entry does not need comma at the end of line.)

I have been unable to resolve how Turns are displayed on my text device iPhone 5. On my device Turn / Turns Total are cutoff at the top on the device. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
