Ad-Free Games is an ever expanding library of games in one app, made for kids with absolutely NO ads, NO tracking, and NO internet required. Pick a tile on the main menu: HOLE (free) — You are a hole. Swallow a living 3D world — a night city, a forest full of animals, or a snowfield — and gulp down rival holes. Four modes, including Infinite. ARCADE PACK (one-time purchase, shared with your family) • TOWER STACK (NEW) — tap to drop the sliding block and build as high as you can. Overhangs get sliced off; land it dead centre for a Perfect. Chill and Normal modes. • POCKET PET — adopt a pixel-art pal: a puppy, kitten, bunny, turtle, dragon or fox. Feed it, give it a bubble bath, play Bounce and Peekaboo for coins, and spend them on toys, homes and garden decor. Your pal naps while you're away and is happy to see you when you come back. • GEM SWAP — a match-3 with a hundred levels. Swap gems to line up three; four makes a blaster, five a rainbow gem, an L a bomb. Score targets, colours to collect and ice to melt, three stars each, plus a Zen mode with no moves and no clock. • ROAD HOP — tap to hop, swipe to dodge. Cross roads, railways and rivers in a bright 3D world, and spend the coins you pick up on thirteen characters, from a frog to a penguin. Chill mode for little ones, Normal for the brave. • BLOCK BURST — drag pieces onto the board and fill rows or columns to burst them. Classic mode is endless and autosaves; Levels mode has a hundred boards of gem blocks to clear, three stars each. • MANCALA — the classic stone-sowing game with glowing glass gems. Land your last stone in your store for another turn, capture across the board, and outsmart the computer on Easy, Normal or Hard, or pass the phone to a friend. • STACK SMASH — a carnival knock-down. Fire the cannon and topple every tower of cans before your balls run out. Earn coins for boosters as you climb. Nothing to buy with money, ever. • TINY TOWN — your own pocket farm. Sweep a sickle across ripe fields, drag seeds to sow whole rows, bake bread, milk the cow and deliver orders to level up. Crops keep growing while you're away. • FRUIT MERGE — Drop glowing fruit into the well and match two of a kind to grow the next one. Merge all the way up to the melon to win. Three difficulties. • COLORING — A coloring book and drawing pad: 55 pages in 9 themes, crayons, markers, a paint bucket, stickers, and your own photos turned into coloring pages. • SPACE SHOOTER — Drag to fly, fire automatically, grab power-ups, and unlock new ships in the hangar with the coins you earn. • SNAKE — Slither around a bright arena, eat orbs to grow, slice smaller snakes, and climb the leaderboard. Three difficulties, eight colors. • CONNECT 4 — drop glowing discs and line up four against a computer that plans ahead, or two players on one device. • TIC TAC TOE — three in a row on a neon board. Easy, Normal or Hard, or pass the phone in 2 player mode! • NEW GAMES — any new games we add to the library will automatically be included if you already purchased the Arcade Pack. WHY PARENTS LOVE IT • No ads. No pop-ups. No "watch a video to continue." Ever! • No tracking, no analytics, no accounts, no sign-ups. • Works fully offline and private. • One optional purchase through Apple, with Ask to Buy for kids' accounts. No subscriptions, no coins. • One sound switch for the whole app, for quiet time. Made by a parent who was tired of their kid getting blasted with ads. TEN calm, fun, ad-free games. That's it.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Ad at 4.1 against BlocksAF's 3.0. Ad also leads on ratings volume (7 vs 1). BlocksAF's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
