The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many users expressing frustration over the increasing frequency and intrusiveness of ads, particularly during gameplay. While some players appreciate the option for in-app purchases and the absence of ads in earlier versions, the recent updates have led to complaints about mandatory ads and a lack of sufficient in-game currency to purchase new patterns. Overall, players desire a balance between monetization and a seamless gaming experience, with many advocating for the option to watch ads for in-game rewards instead of being forced to pay.
- “I love that there are no ads; I don't like the fact that you don't get many free pictures.”
- “I'll gladly take some in-app monetization if it means smooth, high-quality gameplay and an ad-free experience while stitching!”
- “No ads ✅️ time waster ✅️ great pictures ✅️ not a money grab ✅️ easy controls ✅️ I could go on.”
- “However, just one year later the state of the app is horrendous in comparison; ads are too common and obscenely intrusive.”
- “I used to love this app, but a recent update started forcing ads in the middle of gameplay.”
- “I paid over $150 to this app over the past 3 years, now after the 'update' I don't get 40 free cash anymore, I get 25 and get a message that says I can get more if I pay when I already have paid and now have to watch ads after paying for years to not have ads!”
