“Ad grab — 3-4 ads per level is ridiculous Otherwise pay the $10 to get past the ad wall Deleting” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“It was fun until it wasn’t — After I write this review I will be deleting this app. It was fun up and until level 50, then it took me 6 commercials to finish this timed level. Each ad segment gave me 30 seconds of timed play. The commercials were longer than 30 seconds. The game is fun but not worth all of the adverts, especially when “hole” games are a dime a dozen.” — ★★☆☆☆ · English“Fun but WAY to many ads — Fun game but there are SO many ads you aren’t even able to really play the game, I remember when you could play without WiFi now it requires you to have WiFi to be able to play. Unless you like CONSTANT ads, I wouldn’t recommend this game.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English

“Scam — Paid for no ads still seeing ads every 10 sec on the game done playing” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Lackluster and collects your info — Im not going to shell out ten bucks for a game that doesn’t really get rid of ads. It becomes virtually unplayable when ad servers are unresponsive. I know because I block them from getting out to play the game ad free. Here is a list of things the game tries to talk to in one 3 minute play session. * rt.applovin.com — 1 * logs.ads.vungle.com — 2 * pubads.g.doubleclick.net — 4 *…” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Unplayable — Virtually unplayable unless you pay the $10 to upgrade to no ads.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English

We have not read this app's reviews yet. Apple rations that feed to about one page per address every ten minutes and refuses datacentre addresses, so the reading is done by hand — the rating above is live, the complaints are not there yet.
