Main menu as of version 5.7.0.

Following that message will be the game intro, which you can skip.

After that, you will be greeted by the main menu.

Rightmost:

Top button = Change device (Source device logged in to Google Games, tap first long yellow button you see after pressing said "Change Device button" as illustrated. A pause for loading and then some red text with a red button below it all - that is the "Cancel all Action" button. On the target device, log in to the same Google Games account, repeat the process but this time press the 2nd yellow long button to confirm the transfer of data from the source>target. Once done, the source device's game progress will be erased and the target will have the updated in-game progress) I got an extra Normal Ticket for the successful transfer.

Bottom button = Push Notice On/Off
