The full screen ads are just insane

The full screen ads are just insane. They are slow to load, and you can’t close/skip them. Very disappointing.

Annoying ads which can not be closed

The advertisements were annoyingly long, and impossible to close. I understand the app needs income from the advertisement, but… come on, make some sense!
