Users find the monetization model frustrating, noting that the paid version offers less content than the free version and is not worth the cost, especially considering the headache-inducing visual effects from clicking.
“The flickering lights from clicking things are headache-inducing, and there isn't as much to do as in the free phone version, which is more expensive than just removing ads for the additional offline features.”
“The monetization model feels exploitative, pushing players to spend money for basic features that should be included in the game.”
“It's frustrating that the game constantly bombards you with offers to purchase in-game currency, making it hard to enjoy without spending real money.”
