Absolutely love the game, but the ads are out of control. It wasn't bad at first, but then it started popping up with ads after I finished a level, then a second ad when I clicked play next level, and sometimes in the middle of a level. It wouldn't be so bad if they were short ads, or if there was an option to pay for ad free play, but to have to sit through multiple 60 second ads between levels get annoying after awhile. Time to uninstall.

Ads Ads Ads! I get it, most apps need Ads to help pay for their content. But when you're in the middle of playing a level and it's interrupted 2-3 times with an ad and then 2 more ads after you beat the level, it becomes excessive. I really enjoy this game, but the insane amount of Ads is pushing me to delete it. You also can't play it in airplane mode. Do you want to know why? Because it is unable to run ADS!!!

Great game. But about to uninstall. Open the app, Ad. Start a new level, Ad. Finish a level, Ad. Blink, Ad. Breath, Ad. It's infuriating. I have anxiety, and something like this is perfect to occupy my brain, but the developer has chosen to totally ruin the experience with the amount of (long) ads they insist on shoving in your face. It's completely unnecessary.

Played for more than a year and now deleting the game unless they make big changes. The amount of ads used to be fair, but now it's an unskippable 30 sec video after every level, and you have to play upwards of 60-70 levels in order for it to get challenging. They change the levels every week a new challenge which used to be nice, but now they are just too easy and I am spending more time on ads than I am playing the game. Such a shame, too, this would have been a 5 star game in the past.

The simplest game that takes forever to load. I have far more complex and heavy games that take less than half the time to get to play with. I've played with it for months and the game itself is not worth the loading time and the two 30 second scam ads in between each level. Even playing it on airplane mode takes more than 2 minutes to load and it freezes all phone functions in the process. It makes no sense.

I am totally addicted to this game. The ads are very, very short (like 5 seconds or less). But the ads now act like adware on my phone. They pop up out of nowhere. They've actually placed items on my Walmart apps grocery list! They continually lock up my game, so I have to constantly close the game down & open it again. If this wasn't happening, I would rate this game 5 stars.

The ads have become much worse. There are more of them and many are forced to run for a full 30 seconds. When a level takes 15 seconds to complete and you need 2 or 3 timed that long for the ads, a game is broken. I've enjoyed this game for a long time, but with the latest ad changes, it's unplayable for most times and places.

This game is simple and relaxing. It's a great "zoning out" game, but recently the number of advertisements has doubled. It used to be I'd have to watch an ad after each game, but not I have to watch one to start a game, play the game for a few minutes, then watch another ad when the round ends, then press "play again" and be forced to watch another ad. Also seems like more and more of the ads are unskippable. I would easily give 5 stars for the ability to pay for an ad-free version.

If you love ads then you'll love this game. As soon as you finish or fail a level--ad! After watching the ad, you go back to the game to select continue or retry and what do you get? Another ad. The game play is good but you'll spend just as much time looking at ads. Played it for a few months but just uninstalled it. Save yourself the trouble.

Ok game over all but they are getting ridiculous with the adds. Before or was one add per game when you finished. You could skip after 5-10 seconds. Now they sometimes have 2 adds before you start and 2 adds after you finished (4 total between finishing one and starting another) or they have super long adds that you can't skip. Most of the levels take a very short amount of time to complete so there is almost more adds then game. Very sad

Edited to include: Ads mostly fixed. 1 opens in new window. I like the game itself! There's glitches with some of the ads. It gets so frustrating at times, I give up on the game and play something else. The game has 1 particular Shein ad, that doesn't allow a way to exit the ad, at any time, no matter how long you wait. Close app and reopen, your progress will be saved. There are other Shein ads that open in a whole new screen and you have to close it and go back to the game.

I want to love this game and play it more but there seems to be an increase in the number of ads. Before it was one per level or board. Now it's two ads. One when you finish and one before you start the next level. And we are not talking short 15-20 second ads, but rather the minute long ones. If you are going to push more ads, offer an option to opt out for a one time fee. Give me a reason to play this game more then 1-2 minutes a day.

This game is the worst when it comes to ads. Not only is there an ad when you finish a level, but one when you tap next level. Basically two ads in a row. Not to mention I've gotten 90 second unskippable ads. Wth? I know ads how slowly been getting longer, but there's no way I'm going to tolerate an ad for over a minute, much less a minute and a half. Most of the time I just close and reopen the app; it's much fast than waiting.

Updated review. I have enjoyed this game for awhile. Now the ads are just too much. Can't get through a game without an ad interrupting. Just now there were around 4 interruptions on playing 1 board, not losing and starting over, but during game play. I'm seriously thinking of deleting this game if the ads don't stop completely during game play. Ads running at the top all the time, ad when you have to start a board over, ad after you win, now an ad or ads while your playing. Too many ads!

I rather enjoy this game, however the ads have gotten to be way too much. There is way to many ads and you can no longer skip after 5 seconds you have to watch the entire 30-50 second ad and absolutely despise ads. Also no option to purchase 'no ads', which I would do so,within reason, as I like the game. Now I think I will uninstall the game. Such a shame.

Updating my old review: Regretfully, every time I think this game is enjoyable again they make a change to the ads. I have no problem watching ads to support the devs, but it's gotten ridiculous. With the new update, you now see an ad when you end a level and then immediately see a longer ad when you start the next level. Now and then, a third ad gets crammed in there, too. It's time for me to give up on this being an enjoyable, smooth experience.

I've been enjoying this game for weeks. It's relaxing and challenging enough to keep me interested. However, I may uninstall it now. It had a moderate amount of ads before, but today, it seems they have doubled the ads. Whereas before today, there were a couple of ads between games, now they've added another ad or two AFTER you start a new game. I can no longer justify the time I waste playing this if half that time will be ads. Stop being greedy!

UPDATE as of 5/20: It seems the Developers have listened and toned down the rate and lengths of ads. If this stays as is, I'll come back and raise my ratings again. Older review:I've played this game many years on different phones. It was relaxing and I didn't mind the ads here and there. But now, I can't even enjoy the game when I spend more time watching ads. I end a game, watch 2 ads. Start a game, the same. But, also, twice now I've found two ads that have installed their games on my phone.

Update to review (5/24): I'm now getting ads even before I've played, and the ads are long videos (1 min+). One even auto-installs a game onto my phone if you touch the screen anywhere during the ad. This game is practically unusable at this point. PLEASE fix the ad issue. (7/22) The ads are getting worse, not better. Now they don't even have an "x" to close out so you have to choose the app and reopen after each level. I would pay for a no-ad version, please make this an option!

I don't know what happened. I've kept the app for a while now despite the ads getting worse and more intrusive over time, but I draw the line at game braking ads. The banner ads cause the game to freeze. So much so that I have to constantly close and reopen the game. Can't even report which ads are responsible because they crash the game before they can ever properly load in.
