Frustrating

This app glitches so much it’s not worth my time anymore. You also have to watch an ad every other turn which is a bit excessive.

LOVE the game, but it freezes!

I love this game and it’s so much fun for my brain, but it has started freezing all the time, making it difficult to keep playing. Of it didn’t freeze, it would be a 5⭐️ game!
