Can't play GoT

[Secret Garden]

Is anyone else having trouble getting onto the game today? I play on iPad and have tried manually closing GoT with no success and also shutting down my iPad then turning it back on with no luck either.
The gold bar fills all the way and I hear the music but then it shoots me back to my home screen.:confused:
Any suggestions?

The problem has somehow fixed itself. Just in time too with Chapter 8 being just released! :)

I'm still having this exact same issue and I have not been able to go into Gardens of Time for two days.

When I boot the ap, it will load the gold bar and play the background music (even welcome me back, as always!) But the screen will remain with the gold bar filled for at least a minute. Then, I get an error message saying, "Could Not Contact Servers. Terribly sorry! The Time Machine seems to be having problems right now! Please return later. It should be sorted out in a bit! Press Exit to close the app."

Again, this is not a crash...it just will not let me progress beyond the initial loading scene. I've tried rebooting my iPad several times without success. This has been for two days.

Is anyone else having this issue? Does this warrant a help ticket?
