Ads got unbearable

I’ve been playing this game for months. Loved it. Made me think. Until recently as ads are popping up all throughout the game. Very annoying. I just deleted the game.

Ehhh

LOVED this game. So I bought the upgrade. And now it’s incredibly impossible to cancel the subscription. I just want to cancel without any hassle.

Ads that freeze.

This is a great game and it started out so well. Now, there are ads which freeze. It says 1 of 3 ads and freezes.

Too expensive

This game is like many others except for the fact that to go ad free you have to pay weekly, or monthly. They have varying rates you can pay but unless it’s a one time charge, I don’t think it’s worth it. So I’m gonna have to delete this one and go with one of the others.
