The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the prevalence of ads and the pressure to make in-app purchases to progress. While some users appreciate the option to buy coins and gems, others feel that the game is overly reliant on ads, which can disrupt gameplay and lead to dissatisfaction, especially for those who cannot afford to spend real money. Additionally, there are complaints about unfulfilled bonuses from purchases and technical issues related to ads.
“No ads!!”
“The game seemed fun, always something to do which is why I liked it. Most games like this you have to keep stopping and starting while waiting for coins, etc. I was enjoying it, even made an in-game purchase which I rarely do (as it's a waste of money) but then it took me back and started me from the beginning.”
“I understand that we are able to make in-game purchases for coins, but some people, like myself, cannot afford to do that financially.”
“It's difficult to get the stuff you need to expand your land without using real cash, and the game bombards you with ads for other games disguised as quests.”
“The constant ads to download your other games are ridiculous.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, particularly due to the long wait times for item production and the high costs associated with expansions and inventory management. While some enjoy the variety of tasks available, many feel that the repetitive nature of fulfilling orders can become monotonous, detracting from the overall experience.
“It's fun, not too grindy like SimCity, but one thing that got on my nerves is the 'quest' to install other games.”
“In my opinion, a lot of the items you make in the factories just take way too long, and the costs (coins/gems) are too high. Waiting for expansion/inventory pieces to drop is immensely tedious!”
“It's okay, but all you seem to do is make and fill orders for products, which becomes tedious.”
“Good game, but I like farming games mainly. There's plenty of different things to do, but I find myself waiting too long for things to be made for orders or to expand and build.”
