The monetization aspect of the game is heavily criticized for its excessive ad presence, with many users expressing frustration over the requirement to watch ads to unlock content and the prevalence of premium-only features. While some players appreciate the quality and variety of the game, the subscription costs for an ad-free experience are deemed unreasonable, leading to a mixed reception overall.
“The game does not add the promised double diamonds even after watching ads.”
“Way too many ads plus way too many bits to color on the daily pictures; it took far too long to just complete one picture.”
“Unable to watch ads to unlock pictures; I would give 5 stars, but the game constantly says I'm not connected to the internet, so I am unable to load ads to unlock pictures associated with them.”

Users have noted that while the graphics are generally satisfactory, there are issues with the zoom feature, particularly in areas that should be easily accessible without needing to zoom in.
