### 1/5 — Is there even any words other then ads?

*2024-12-16, version 1.5.1*

I’m not joking with this title 20 seconds after the tutorial and other stuff etc i immediately got a ad that ad then bugged forcing me to restart the game and this has happens so many times I’ve basically forgot this was a game,infact it’s not a game it’s ad simulator.

### 1/5 — Too many ADS!

*2023-07-03, version 1.5.1*

You cannot play due to all the ads.

### 1/5 — So many ads

*2022-08-11, version 1.5.1*

Great game. Too many ads. Would pay to remove them.

### 1/5 — Too many ads.

*2022-07-06, version 1.5.1*

This game is really entertaining, until you get to the ads every 5 seconds. I understand the developers want to make money but they’re overwhelming and extremely annoying. I would much rather pay to have them removed and enjoy the game.

### 1/5 — Resets your progress

*2022-05-19, version 1.5.1*

Seems to be another copy/paste game going around, weird glitch where it resets your progress after login

### 2/5 — I really enjoy this game but

*2022-05-19*

I’d gladly bump this up to five stars but as many new towns as I’ve continued on to it started glitching like two towns ago but now this new town it did not give me ANY coins in order to unlock the new fire hall to unlock the new town so I literally cannot continue playing it. I’ve had to delete it once in the past and download it again to fix a problem I had in the past and I’ll try it this time but I have serious doubt this time it will fix itself.

### 2/5 — The Ads are overwhelming

*2022-05-05, version 1.5*

The game is fun, and a great way to burn time, but it feels like there’s an ad every 30 seconds. That doesn’t even include the persistent banner ad on the bottom of the screen. I’ve used the in game currency from extinguishing a fire to install a fire suppression system (which can be unlocked via ad) just to have an ad pop up within seconds afterwards. If there was a $2-3 dollar ad removal I would do it in a heartbeat, because the game is fun, but I don’t know how long I’ll stick with this if the ads aren’t dialed back a bit. I’m only on the second city and it’s already annoying me. I never write reviews, but I felt compelled for this one.

### 2/5 — Potential but

*2022-05-03, version 1.5*

Too many ads, every 30 seconds. I swear. Then to check to see the price of gettin rid of them I couldn’t find.  Probably ten bucks. 

The game has potential, not worth 10 bucks to get rid of ads that pop up every thirty seconds. That interrupt game play. 
Could be a really fun game, if some things get worked out.

### 3/5 — Fun! However…

*2022-05-02, version 1.5*

It’s a fun game, and I think it has a lot of potential but again a common problem is the use of high frequent ads… even just half way playing the game you just get interrupted by an ad which ruins the experience.

### 2/5 — Neat Game

*2022-04-30, version 1.5*

Kinda fun but no point in playing when you have to see an AD every 45 seconds.
