The monetization strategy of the game heavily relies on ads, requiring players to watch multiple ads per level, which many users find excessive and frustrating. While some appreciate the option to play for free by watching ads instead of paying, the frequency and length of the ads can disrupt gameplay and lead to glitches. Overall, the balance between ad-supported free play and the option to pay for an ad-free experience remains a contentious point among players.
- “I really love Delicious Emily and I enjoy playing it, but I deleted it because I felt there were too many ads and I couldn't afford all the levels. I completed Chapter One, but I couldn't finish the new chapter levels due to the costs, which made me sad.”
- “Due to the 4 ads that you must watch per each level win or lose, (2 in the beginning of the level and two at the end), you do the math on that. It freezes after you have completed the level and you have to close the game.”
- “Seems like it's purposely designed that way so you watch more ads, buy their game, or keep playing the same level repeatedly so they can get more money.”
- “After 5 levels, I have to watch ads to play more levels?”
