Great game but ads?
This game is great! I don’t normally do any challenges but I do the daily game every day. I love this game. And the ads haven’t been too bad because normally, I can get out of them pretty quickly. The ability to delete out of the ads is better with this game than most. By the way, I will NEVER buy anything from these ads so they waste a lot of time. But, lately the bra ads are too much. They are long and you cannot get out of them. If they don’t stop soon, I will be deleting this game. You can but an ad free version but it’s $4.99 which is too much. I’d pay $3. I think that’s reasonable. Great game so if you haven’t played it, you should try it. I love number games and word games but don’t play a lot of them because of the ads you can’t get out of.Developer Response
Hi! Thanks for your feedback. We are sorry ads bother you. After 5 seconds since the beginning of a video ad, if that's not an ad for a hint, there must appear an option to skip the ad: a fast forward or a cross-shaped button. If there's no such button, please contact us via the "Help" in the app with a screenshot of the problem ad. We'll be happy to help!Mixed feelings
UPDATE: Reduced to one star! Now that I have had the game a bit longer, I have a clearer picture. The game itself remains simple fun, but as expected, the ads have indeed become an issue. They were non-existent at the beginning but then began to appear mid-stage if I added numbers. That could be 5 interruptions within a single stage if all 5 options are needed.….way too many ads, especially since ads are too long. Adding numbers is a basic part of clearing the board and winning the stage. It is not an “aid” like checking to see if there are any more matches on the board. Having to watch a video to add more numbers is like having to watch one to get more letter tiles in Scrabble or to get your second and third roll of the dice in Yahtzee. I can tolerate responsible use of ads, but when an ad pops up in the middle of clearing a stage or makes me watch a video in order to use those functions that are essential to game play, then I am done. The game gets one star for being fun, but loses the rest of its stars due to the ads on the added numbers. There more responsible ways to advertise that do not aggravate the player. Please please DO NOT respond with “ads keep the game free and help with app development. We all know this already. Putting the numbers behind a video paywall is so wrong. Use ads if necessary but use them responsibly!Developer Response
Hi! We appreciate your feedback and we apologize for the inconvenience caused. We understand that the ads could be frustrating, and we are working hard to ensure that they appear responsibly while still keeping the game free. We are glad to know that the issue has been resolved to some extent, and we will continue to monitor it closely. We hope you can still enjoy the game despite the ads and the emojis.Confused
I really enjoy this app – until now. I recently purchased the iPhone 15 Pro Max. It has the 17.4.1 iOS update. Ever since this update I cannot open the app. It just sits there on the opening screen (the one that says Easybrain) and then it closes. However if I get to the opening screen where the little icon shows up, then no problem. Yes, I’ve forced the app to close; I’ve shut down the phone and restarted it; I deleted the app (you know getting rid of the high score) re-downloaded and still can’t open it. THAT IS until the app sends me the notification that it has new numbers for me. Then it opens like a charm. I’m still giving it a five star review because WHEN I can play it, I really really enjoy it.Developer Response
