### 1/5 — Ads Ads Ads

*2026-08-15, version 3.0.0*

Too many Ads,spoils the mood

### 1/5 — AD scam!

*2026-08-12, version 3.0.0*

Total AD trash game. Can’t get anything without watching an AD then gets stuck. App Store needs to ban this nonsense garbage game.

### 2/5 — What’s the point

*2026-08-05, version 2.0.0*

I paid for no ads and I keep getting ads

### 4/5 — Very enjoyable

*2026-07-31, version 2.0.0*

The game is very fun to play. The progression is easy to follow. I do have one question for the developer. I paid for the “no ads” feature, but I’m still getting ad pop ups as I play. And the offer button is still on screen. But the game identifies that I purchased the offer. Is that a known bug?

### 1/5 — Fun but ads

*2026-06-26, version 2.0.0*

Ads galore, even paid the $3, unstoppable ads

### 2/5 — Ad-Free Upgrade is a Lie

*2026-04-30, version 2.0.0*

Don’t buy the “ad-free” version upgrade for $2.99. I did and I’m still getting ads.

### 1/5 — Stay away

*2026-04-22, version 2.0.0*

Paid for no ads and well there is still adds clicked on restore purchase and still adds even thow my credit card was charged!! Stay away.

### 1/5 — Fix your game

*2026-04-13, version 2.0.0*

Bought the no ads and it doesn’t even work.

### 3/5 — Ads

*2026-04-05, version 2.0.0*

I bought the $2.99 ads off and I still get ads. This game is rip off.

### 1/5 — Paid for no ads, still have ads

*2026-04-01, version 2.0.0*

Paid like 4 bucks to not have ads. Still need to watch ads for all the in-game rewards, which I found annoying but got over it. On top of that though, all the forced ads still pop up. This is theft and I’m reaching out to Apple to report this
