No Support, don’t spend money

Is this app even being updated anymore? I wrote in for support on an issue and got an auto reply that they no longer respond to support requests. Then it took my money and didn’t give me the items.

Meh

I like it a lot but I’m not a fan of games that make you pay every month to get rid of ads. I would rather pay a one time fee to not have advertisments. Due to that, I play Magic Mart and Lumbercat more.
