The monetization aspect of the game is heavily criticized due to an overwhelming number of ads that disrupt gameplay, with many users expressing frustration over their frequency and intrusiveness. While some players are willing to pay to remove ads, the current model seems to prioritize ad revenue over user experience, leading to a significant number of uninstalls and negative reviews. A few users noted that the game could be enjoyable if the ad load were reduced or if a paid option to eliminate ads were available.

“Really fun and I like that there are no ads.”
“Fun to play and no ads.”
“The ads are unbearable, you get them after every run!”
“It's a good running game but it's a virus because it pushes ads and the game itself has pop-up ads. It's been years since I played this game; it's not the same. More ads, everything about this game has changed. It's not worth the download; I wouldn't recommend this. The ads are outrageous.”
“I had to remove this app because you are looking at more ads than playing the game. It could be fun, but way too many ads.”

“It is too good ❤️, but I don't know the story of Angry Gran. Please help me and tell the story.”

“Firstly, I don't even know why the grandma is running... At least in Temple Run, the monster is chasing the person. Temple Run has a story behind why it is running. Secondly, it is just like other original games; it's just like Subway Surfers. At least Temple Run has different versions like the water version and the purple rock version, along with some jump scares. Thirdly, it is so messy on the front page; everything is cramped at the bottom. Hopefully, you can upgrade the game and solve all these problems... just for me!”
“You should always have missions.”
“Need more missions though.”
