I had another phone, from 2014 and it worked there

Yeah, 2016 doesn't sound too old to run it. But it's possible that device just doesn't have the power/memory or something. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, what's going on is some kind of issue with the device not wanting to let it run/not being able to run it. There isn't much we can likely do to help. I'm really sorry. We are going to release an updated version of the game pretty soon and maybe the problem your phone is having will go away with that improved build.
