The monetization strategy of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback due to the excessive and intrusive nature of ads, which disrupt gameplay and frustrate users. Many players report that ads appear too frequently, often after every level or move, leading to a significant portion of their time being spent watching ads rather than playing. While some users appreciate the option to purchase an ad-free experience, they find the pricing steep and feel that the ad load detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.
“Flow Free has a ton of levels and low in-app purchases for no ads and premium levels.”
“Your application has very frequent and intrusive advertising; it is very distracting and does not allow the user to relax.”
“The amount of ads is too damn high.”
“I get they have to make money from ads in games, but I can't be bothered when 33-50% of the time spent is watching an unskippable 30-second ad between 2 games that take 30-60 seconds total.”

The gameplay is generally enjoyable and intuitive, featuring bright graphics and a smooth experience that enhances cognitive skills. However, players are frustrated by the excessive and intrusive ads, including audio interruptions, which detract from the overall experience. While the game offers a variety of difficulty levels, some users find the challenges lacking, especially at lower levels.
“It also offers more additional gameplay within the game.”
“With its bright colors, clean graphics, and smooth gameplay, it's a great way to pass the time and improve your cognitive abilities.”
“Played to level 25; not a single one was challenging yet, but at least 3 ads (every ~3 minutes, some 3 seconds not-skippable). There was also a weird cutscene on a boat that has nothing to do with the main puzzle gameplay.”
“The game is good, but ads just kept getting worse and worse until suddenly there were audio ads playing over the gameplay.”
“As for the gameplay, the game doesn't offer a different experience to what is advertised like many games do, and the different levels of difficulty make it fun and challenging.”

The music in the game is described as initially meditative and relaxing, enhancing concentration; however, it is frequently interrupted by intrusive advertising and technical issues, such as unexpected sound activation. Players express frustration over the inability to enjoy their own music while playing, and there are calls for a more diverse music selection in future updates. Overall, the music aspect is marred by disruptive elements that detract from the gaming experience.
“The background music is very relaxing and helps you concentrate on the game.”
“Have a variety of music in the next upgrade, then I'll be set.”
“Great bit over 75 levels, but it doesn't move to the next level, and everything sticks, but music is playing.”
“An initially good idea with meditative music is completely distorted by annoying advertising inserts every minute.”
“Absolutely the worst thing for this type of app; I play this while listening to music or podcasts. Ads are one thing, but if I have to stop to turn that back on manually every couple of minutes, it's absolutely worthless.”
“I'm sick and tired of these idiot game developers pushing games that turn off my music, then be cowardly enough to send a 'no reply' email filled with lies.”

Overall, user experiences with stability vary significantly; while some report no glitches and timely point updates, others encounter frequent freezing issues, particularly after reaching certain levels. Notably, players have experienced game freezes that prevent progression, especially after level 39 and level 60, indicating potential stability concerns for those specific stages.
“Like playing the game but after each round it freezes up like it's trying to play an ad.”
“Ever since I passed level 60, I have gotten this glitch where when I pass a level the game freezes and there is nothing I can do about it, and I can't even earn keys anymore.”
“But when I got to level 39, the game freezes, and you never pass the level.”
