The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the excessive and often malfunctioning ads that disrupt gameplay and fail to provide promised rewards. While some appreciate the option to watch ads for in-game currency and items, the frequent crashes and technical issues associated with ads have led to dissatisfaction, with several users feeling that the reliance on ads detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game. Additionally, there are concerns about the necessity of in-app purchases to progress, which some players find off-putting.
“I'll give 5 stars and make in-game purchases if these two requirements are met.”
“Love the game, but frustrated trying to get an answer from the developer about an accidental in-app purchase, thus the lower rating.”
“Made an in-app purchase that resets daily, but due to program problems, I cannot get into the game, resulting in losses of the daily purchases.”
“I fully support the reasonable ad options this game provides, but unfortunately the ads don't work 90% of the time and shut the game down, freeze up, don't unlock the reward or just shut the entire game down.”
“I like the game, but I think it's wrong to have to pay to open areas of the game and watch ads to get other things in the game.”
“I started to enjoy this one until I realized whenever I try to watch ads for any kind of boost, the ad freezes and I can't get any leaves or anything else for that matter.”

“Love this game but have had two issues when I began the game today: the area needing to be opened said it requires elf power 586/587. I have obtained 4 elves and received no credit for them. Also, when I watch the ad for cloud storage, it shuts the whole program down and I have to restart the computer without receiving credit for watching the ad. If these kinds of glitches keep occurring, I will uninstall this game.”
“The game keeps freezing up and it freezes my phone, and I can't get out of it. It's like it's on a replay.”
