### 1/5 — Bug problem

*2026-07-20, version 2.1.34*

I want to start by saying I LOVE THIS APP!!
but it has a serious bug problem. I’ve been having to delete and redownload the app because the I cannot close out of Ads.
Recommendation: 1. fix the Ad problem. 
2. charge a one-time membership fee for an Ad-free experience!!

### 1/5 — Horrible ads

*2026-07-05, version 2.1.34*

Love the game but the ads are intrusive and don’t allow you to close them out.

### 4/5 — Too many ads

*2026-06-25, version 2.1.34*

Way too too many ads.

### 2/5 — Ads

*2026-06-13, version 2.1.34*

There are to many ads … after every game

### 3/5 — No option to play with 4 player and no team option

*2026-05-15*

Add more than 4 player and team up option.

### 3/5 — Too many ads

*2026-05-03, version 2.1.34*

I absolutely love this game, and would definitely be giving it 5 stars if it weren’t for the ads. I keep looking to see if Ive missed where I can opt out of ads by paying a one time fee. I’d even consider a monthly fee..depending on how much that fee would be. Please consider doing something to offer ad-less play. In the meantime I am going to be checking out other game apps of this sort and will switch if I find one that offers no ads. I love this game but if it stays option less then I may be taking my thumb elsewhere.

### 3/5 — Has Potential

*2026-04-10, version 2.1.34*

1. Playing against AI is rigged and it always gets better options and is def not equal. 2. The ADS are atrocious!! Way to long, not an option to go ad free, and the worst part is when you click “start” you have to watch the ads AGAIN but the timer starts in your game. So once you get to your game you may only have two seconds for your turn, so basically you lose a turn this definitely needs to be fixed!!

### 1/5 — Worst game don't install

*2026-04-06, version 2.1.34*

Biased game for Girls

### 3/5 — Ads really makes a poor experience

*2026-03-09, version 2.1.34*

The ads at the beginning of each game, takes up game time, which should be 1 minute, many times I start the game with only 15 sec to play. This is the worst ads experience I have had in a game.  And it doesn’t even offer an option to pay to remoce the ads (or at least I didn’t find it) 
Also, when Jack is played it only appears for a fraction of a second, which sometimes goes unnoticed 
Besides that, game works well

### 4/5 — Too many Ads

*2026-02-09, version 2.1.34*

It’s a fun game but it has an ad as soon as you open the app, start a new game, and after a game. Half the time you’ll be waiting through the ads just to start a new game.
