After each ad. the game stalls and has to be reloaded, the game time will not register properly on the first try ...... the next two tries works and then its back to the ad. This was a fun app where you could compete against other players but the latest game enhancement has turned this game into a totally frustrating experience. Stay away, this is now total garbage !!! ### 2/5 — Crashes a lot *2023-07-02* Adds are too long. Many Crashes,.
