The monetization aspect of the game has received significant criticism, with many users expressing frustration over the prevalence of ads, even after purchasing an ad-free version. Players report issues with ads interrupting gameplay, lagging performance, and a lack of options to play without watching ads, leading to a negative overall experience despite enjoying the game itself. Additionally, some users have faced difficulties in restoring their ad-free purchases, further exacerbating their dissatisfaction.
- “I love the gameplay, but I paid for no ads.”
- “I did pay $5 for no ads.”
- “No ads”
- “Even when I update to the latest version of the app, or hit restore purchases every time, it ignores the fact that I've already purchased no advertisements.”
- “Worst part is having to watch 60-second ads before any game, especially when I'm betting in-game currency on ranked anyway.”
- “Very poor game; if you don't go first, it's virtually impossible to win, and it makes you watch ads just so you can get coins to keep playing and losing.”

The game's stability has been a significant concern among users, with frequent reports of freezing and lag during gameplay, often resulting in skipped turns and unplayable sessions.

- “I updated the game on both devices and it continually freezes both phones.”

Overall, users appreciate the gameplay, highlighting its well-designed mechanics and the enjoyment of custom matches. However, concerns about ads in the paid version, lag issues, and suggestions for improvements like better connection management and an offline mode indicate that there are areas for enhancement. Despite these drawbacks, the app is recognized for effectively replicating the gameplay of the original game, Splendor.
- “Gameplay is great and I love the custom matches.”
- “Splendor is a great game and this app does a pretty good job duplicating that gameplay.”
- “Shame as the gameplay is pretty well designed.”
- “Better connection management, an offline mode where you play against bots, and doing away with the coin mechanic altogether would yield a higher rating.”
- “Paid version full of ads; also, since 2023.04.21, gameplay has been extremely laggy. Update: 2023.07.28: reinstall solved the ads issue.”
