Tired of rating this game

Stop making me review you, temple run. You get one star for being continuously a pain. If only you’d stop, I’d give you guys 4 stars because this is the OG endless runner and it’s good for that.

I had this app for 5 mins. I played the opening passage for abt 30 sec then the app went for a 2 min ad. I exited the ad and deleted the app
