Move from SD card to phone, and hit the "back" button when it changes from "Please wait" to "Loading Island". If that combination still does not load the island for you, sorry, not much else can be done until (if) they finally fix this problem. You could try "contacting devs" but they would already have 100000 reports of this so not much point in that. They'll get to it when they get to it. Maybe. I mean they never ever fixed the problem of the game crashing during events and left it up to us to discover the crash happens during a read/write event to the external (SD) storage (seemingly due to clock cycles timing out or something along those lines) and so moving the game to the phone (or tablet) fixed it 99%. (Still crashed about 1% of the time during events indicating the problem was probably not soley to do with the SD card but with read/write timing). Either way, this is just one example of a problem that was never resolved that we found a workaround to. The friends island crashing / freezing seems to be similar with a combination of two problems: in that the game gets stuck in a loop due to a bug in the code - probably a single line of code causing an infinite loop, and this loop while accessing the SD card causes a crash. Moving it to the phone stops the crash and just leaves the code looping, but hitting the back button brings it out of the loop. They have released some bug fixes, and for me it no longer crashes but still freezes with the game on the sd card, but obviously it hasn't fixed it for everyone, so I think it is just a matter of more optimised coding but the underlying issue of I/O timing cycles is still there.
