The monetization model of the game has been heavily criticized for its excessive use of ads, with players reporting ads after nearly every action, making the game nearly unplayable.

Overall, the overwhelming presence of ads detracts significantly from the gameplay experience, leading to numerous uninstalls and negative reviews.
