bots and new ownership are ruining the app

This app used to be fun. You used to be able to send home adopters, you use to be able to win competitions. They took away the feature to send adopters home, which really slows down game play and frustrates every player I’ve talked to. The game is also overrun with bots in the competitions so there is no way to win anymore. Even if you spend money on in app purchases you still can not beat the bots.

What the hell

Totally different game from what the ad showed me.

Costs don’t make sense

You have to pay thousands of dollars for an animal with some adoption fees on $50 which means you have to watch an absurd number of ads. Cute game, not worth it.
