I under that’s how a lot of mobile games make revenue but is very over baring and makes it harder to play. ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2026-08-16, version 1.3.1* Pretty much impossible to get through more than 45 seconds of gameplay without an ad interruption. Compared to other free-mium games, the frequency of ads makes the game almost un-playable. It’s a shame, because the actual merge game and makeover element are fun. ### 2/5 — App stürzt ständig ab *2026-08-11* Läuft leider nicht stabil. ### 3/5 — Fun but constant ads *2026-08-09, version 1.3.1* I really like this makeover game, compared to others. It doesn’t have problematic undertones; it’s more realistic. But the ads are constant, unless you pay $6 to get rid of them. An ad every few minutes, I’m not exaggerating. Very frustrating. So I don’t know if I will actually finish this game ### 4/5 — About money *2026-08-02, version 1.3.1* It said it would give me money and it’s not giving me money in real life ### 3/5 — Love it, but… *2026-07-24, version 1.3.1* I have LOVED playing this game since Feb, but recently, it overheats my phone and becomes too laggy to play. App has been updated. Any idea? ### 2/5 — Ужас *2026-07-22* Очень много рекламы. Через 5 минут игру удаляю ### 2/5 — Way to many ads *2026-07-21, version 1.3.1* I would give 5 stars if an ad didn’t pop up after every single action. Clear a request, ad, open a card pack, ad. It’s gotten ridiculous. ### 1/5 — Ads every 30 seconds *2026-07-12, version 1.3.1* This game is fun but it’s really not worth the every ad popping up every 30 seconds. I’d watch the ads if it was every 5-10 minutes but it’s really unplayable with all these ads. ### 1/5 — カス *2026-07-10* 開けなくなった。 他の方も書いている通り、タイトル画面のロードが99%で止まった後落ちる。開けても文字化けしていて、その後落ちる。まともにプレイ出来ない。 ### 1/5 — Too many adds *2026-07-09, version 1.3.1* I get games are going to have adds. But they have so many that it makes it impossible to play with out purchasing “add free” ### 3/5 — Too Many Ads & Has the Game Been Copied? *2026-07-09, version 1.3.1* I found the game through Fetch. I like the game, but I agree there are too many ads. Maybe I’ve become a little immune but it doesn’t feel like there are a gazillion ads like other reviews say, but there are a lot. I like the actual game, but I made it through all the characters. Now all I’m doing is merging with very little reward. I hope there’s an update soon. The real reason I’m writing this review is also to let people know there’s a game called Beach Bliss by Kite that’s basically the exact same game as Glow Tales. There are slight differences but the items you merge, the special events, the treasure chests, and even the main character are the same. I honestly thought the makers of Glow Tales decided to make a new game instead of updating the original. Do with this info as you will. ### 1/5 — あの宝箱なに？ *2026-07-09* アプデでなのかイベント報酬が宝箱ばかりになった。マージできないので場所はとるし開けるのに時間はかかるしで何もいいことがない。開けても大したものが入ってる訳では無いのでイベントやデイリータスクが億劫になりゲーム自体がダルくなった ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-07-08, version 1.3.1* This game would have been ok, however, the sheer number of ads made it unplayable. It was incredibly frustrating. I ended up deleting the app not long after installation. I get that the company needs to make a profit, but the number of ads was an utter joke. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Way too many ads *2026-08-19, version 1.3.1* You can’t even enjoy the game. You can’t make one move without an ad. It doesn’t even motivate you to pay for ad free. ### 1/5 — Too many adds *2026-08-19, version 1.3.1* I like the game but there are way too many adds. They pop up about every minute and a half of game play and makes me not want to play the game. Some are thankfully only a couple seconds but most are at least 1-2 minutes long. I noticed there also might be a glitch with some of the comments. I’m seeing that the wording in the comments are negative but they are 5 stars which seems misleading to me. ### 1/5 — Ads Galore *2026-08-12, version 1.3.1* Almost unplayable due to an abundance of ads ### 1/5 — Almost unplayable *2026-08-09, version 1.3.1* I was enjoying the free version of this game with ads then the ads increased to the point that it’s unplayable. Super disappointing as I’ve enjoyed other games by this developer. I’ll try to play through to get my next Fetch credit then it’ll be removed from my device. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-08-07, version 1.3.1* Ads keep popping up and it’s irritating. Deleting. ### 1/5 — Got this game on prograd *2026-08-06, version 1.3.1* Ridiculous why would anyone want to play this when your adds just stop game play in the middle of a merge . Absolutely annoying now if the nonsense stoped until the level actually finished people would play it . ### 1/5 — My god *2026-08-04, version 1.3.1* My god. There’s an AD every five minutes. I could play it longer than a day. Probably spend more time watching ADs than actually playing ### 1/5 — Overly excessive number of ads *2026-07-28, version 1.3.1* I get there will be a number of ads in a game and there’s a paywall to get over but not being able to play more than a couple of minutes before you get an ad so you either close and restart or wait for it to finish faffing makes the game pointless The game itself is ok, nothing really new or different vs the countless other merge games ### 1/5 — Pop up ads spoiling the game *2026-07-26, version 1.3.1* Way too many games ### 1/5 — To many ads *2026-07-15, version 1.3.1* I know you have to watch ads and that’s how you make your money but it’s every task you complete, every order you fill, it’s too much ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Stop with the forced tutorials *2026-08-11, version 1.3.1* A game like this does not need a forced tutorial. It’s annoying and makes you want to instantly delete. Let me play the game. I do not need to be told how to play this game and forced to sit through these cut scenes and etc boo. ### 5/5 — Anonymously *2026-07-28, version 1.3.1* Very fun ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-07-23, version 1.3.1* Decent game ### 5/5 — Easy to play *2026-07-23, version 1.3.1* Very easy to understand ### 5/5 — Simmi82 *2026-07-20, version 1.3.1* I love this merge game. Very interesting, with the story it’s great ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-07-11, version 1.3.1* Easy to play & relaxing ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-07-07, version 1.3.1* Really easy introduction great fun game ### 5/5 — Peak *2026-06-26, version 1.3.1* It’s just fun to play ### 5/5 — I love it 🥰 *2026-06-24, version 1.3.1* its an amazing game!!🤗 ### 5/5 — Mère perdue *2026-06-21, version 1.3.1* Rapide et drôle --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
