Yes, you can continue your career from the free app by saving it to our servers and then loading it up in the Pro app.
This process is similar to the above - enter the correct email and password, but then click the "Import from FC Pro 1" button underneath the list of save slots on the load game page.
If you're not seeing that button, it may be turned off in your Preferences. To turn it on, go to the Settings page, click the Preferences button, and then scroll down to the "Import from Earlier Versions" option.
Yes, you can. Saved games are compatible between different devices, including from Android to iOS and vice-versa.
If you saved the game on our servers then the saved game(s) will definitely still be there - the only reason they wouldn't show is if the email or password were spelt incorrectly either when you originally typed them or the second time round.
The most common reason for this happening is when people mis-type their original password without realising. You can use the "eye" icon on the password input box to check the spelling of your password.
If you've tried various combinations and still can't find your saved games, fill in our contact form (by clicking the "envelope" icon below) and we'll check the database for you.
Although the game disables your device's 'back' button, most Android devices have a 'Home' button somewhere that allows you to return to your main phone screen. Alternatively your device may also have a 'task manager' button that enables you to switch between apps.
