### 1/5 — Let me pay to disable ads

*2023-09-30, version 3.8*

Ads are offensive. I would gladly pay to get rid of them.

### 1/5 — Annoying ads

*2018-12-08, version 2.1*

Great game etc but the ads - why not a paid version WITHOUT ads? I can not recommend this until a way to stop ads is included.

### 4/5 — Time burner

*2018-05-05, version 1.9*

This game works to relax for a second and give your mind a quick break from life’s stresses.

### 5/5 — For all ages

*2018-03-30, version 1.8*

Haven't been playing for long but it's good.  My 4 year old granddaughter got right into it.

### 4/5 — Great game, ruined by ads.

*2017-09-10, version 1.7*

I have played this game for a long time but the pop up ads and banners are ruining it entirely. Please offer a paid option to remove them, I would gladly pay it.

### 5/5 — The Dane

*2017-06-23, version 1.7*

This game contains an algorithm which allows you to get a high score periodically by giving you pieces which fit perfectly when you need them but only allows you so much. Most of the time it will give you
pieces which will end the game. After playing for a long time it is pretty plain to see it is not random. Just like in solitaire you can select a winning deal: this game controls the deal.

### 3/5 — Great game.  Highly annoying ads

*2017-05-28, version 1.7*

I'd love a paid version so I don't have to put up with 30 second video ads I can't stop

### 4/5 — Fun little game

*2016-12-30, version 1.4*

Kinda fun

### 5/5 — Great game

*2016-12-20, version 1.4*

Great game to have

### 5/5 — Love It!

*2016-12-03, version 1.3*

Good fun - makes line ups less frustrating 😎
