Bypass ads

So many g’dammed ads! BUT, you can bypass every single one, just close out the game and restart ! You start right where you left off and screw over EVERY SINGLE ADVERTISER!

Too many ads and adware

Like the crosswords but too much ads and adware. Hijacking and forcing my Amazon app to open, my security alert keeps going off saying it has blocked sites.
Unfortunately will delete this app.
