Ads that won’t let you back to puzzle

Lately there are ads that only take you to the internet. Or just leave you on a blank screen. You can’t get back to todays puzzles. Annoying. Today in on the level 10 of the guest, a word game, the candy crush ad is stuck. There’s no way to ask out of it, and no way to get back to the game. So I can’t finish the 10th level. The ads lately have been super frustrating. Especially candy crush and some of the matching ones. You can’t close them easily and they last forever.
Months later. :
Your review button does not work. It won’t let me send a new one. And no support at all. Tonight your game froze my phone. For a long time. I can’t play it. Sad. I enjoyed it every night.

Thanks for fixing the app

I’m glad that the puzzles are almost back to normal however, someone needs to check for spelling mistakes and incorrect answers.

Ad banner

Loved this app until they started putting the ad banner over the top line of the puzzle.

Not enjoyable

Please fix the puzzles, they are no longer fun to do and the clues make no sense. Please fix this

No longer makes sense

Recently the clues are ambiguous and illogical. App is no longer enjoyable. Getting ready to delete.
