==Bugs/Glitches==
*: After claiming a classic pack from the shop, the "!" symbol at the shop tab doesn't disappear. It only disappears when the game is reentered.
** This was later fixed. However the glitch has reoccurred after the Bugatti Chiron special event.
*: When rewards from a leaderboard event are claimed, the game remains stuck at the synchronizing screen. When the game is force closed and reentered, the card rewards are not shown.
**This was later fixed.
