Ugh, the ADS!
This game is cute but you can’t do anything for more than 2 minutes without getting a 30-60 second ad. And it is always the same two ads. My god, it is way worse than television ads. At least they are only about 6-8 minutes out of 30 and you don’t have to pay attention to them. With the stupid ads on this game, you have to hit various buttons to finally get past it. I may end up deleting the game bc it wastes my time to sit through 15 minutes of ads for 30 minutes of game play! Developers, get a grip!

Ads nonstop
After last update, the game started to spontaneously switch on to long ads (where in addition one has to do a lot of clicks to get out of ad mode) every several minutes. Not possible to play anymore. I deleted the app and do not recommend it to anybody.
They had many ads before - but they would only show if one wanted an additional perk in the game and they run fro clear amount of time. Which was OK.
But now it just makes the game usless.

Assaulted at random by ads
not a big fan of this new updated feature where there’s a chance that ads play whenever you take an action in the game - unlike the ‘view an ad for an extra reward’ where i can anticipate that my gameplay experience will be paused for x amount of time, this set-up is startling and interrupts immersion. nothing in the version history mentions this change, or the logic behind it - is it ‘every first action of a particular type plays an ad’ or is it on a timer or is it completely random?
right now, this feels hostile to players. advertisements can be interpreted as attacks on people’s time and attention, especially when you aren’t expecting them. this updated game behavior has rendered it nearly unplayable for me.
i very much enjoy the game, and wish to keep my progress in it, as well as keep playing in the future! i was already watching ads for extra bonuses before this change, but i don’t want them to be the price i have to pay just to access the game. i will check back in a month or so to see if player backlash has spurred any changes, before making a decision about deleting the app. if i don’t return, thank you for the year+ of delightful merging fun.
