I like it but don’t

I hate that you have to pay for silly stuff I don’t want adds but I don’t want to pay but I would definitely recommend it 😅

How are so many of its reviews paid

Clearly they set up their own reviews. This app is ad central. Maybe make the adds before you start the game not in the middle of trying to play
