Not as good as it used to be

You have to watch ads to get more boards to play. No matter how much time you wait, you have to watch ads if you want to play. Ads after every turn you make.

Waiting 3 days for an opponent to work on the puzzle is ridiculous. It takes a long time to finish a game when an opponent doesn’t take their turn within 24hrs.

This game used to have minimal ads and I really liked it. Now it’s not worth the hassle. Uninstalled.

Freezes

Game freeze and there is no way to open even when app is updated. It has happened before, I’ve had to delete the app and reload everything, but my score, games are lost. It’s a start all over if I want to play.
