How to save and restore progress for N.O.V.A. on the iPad

I assume you're already on the spellbook page (by using the spellbook icon in the circles on the bottom left).

To get information on a spell, tap and hold on a spell in your active list (left side) or learned list (right side). To switch them out, tap a spell in the active list once - a single pixel border should appear around the spell slot - then tap a spell in the learned list. The spell slot should be filled with the spell from the right.

This is all way easier to do on an iPad than an iPhone. It seems like the tap version of the game was built for the iPad experience and just scaled down for the iPhone, making all the tap targets extremely small.

Okay, before we go into serious methods, try backing up the file and then re-installing the game. It worked for me. If not, try clearing up some memory on your phone. Maybe the save files are getting corrupted
