App Store app is not working on new iPhone

I have a game Yatzee Addict that was installed on my iPhone 8. I just upgraded to an iPhone 14. I transferred the data but this app immediately crashes when I try to run it. My phone is fully updated, has been restarted several times. The application has been uninstalled and reinstalled. My husband updated his phone and the game runs on his iPhone 14. Seems like it is still trying to run the old iPhone version and not the new one. Any ideas?

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 17

If you have removed the app, force-restarted, and re-downloaded the app, you’ve done what can be.


Contact the app developer, as a starting point: Contact a third-party vendor - Apple Support

App Store for an iPhone running on current iOS (17.1) don’t download old versions. Apps do occasionally contain latent bugs, including those bugs specific to certain devices and device configurations, and those bugs involving iCloud data, apps getting tangled with add-on first-few-hops VPN apps, among other potential causes of app crashes. Contact the app provider.
