Ads still everywhere

Bought the subscription, still has ads. Also- I’m not playing a game with a real person, it’s obvious it’s AI. I’m not being connected with the different people with the same Avatar

To the developer response, yeah I know how to restore purchases and still doesn’t answer the fact that I’m not playing real people.

Good game but has issues

I really like the game & having to have coins to play, but a lot of times when I watch the ads it doesn’t give me my free coins & I have to wait 2 hours to get free coins. It’s very annoying & sometimes the game crashes on me.
