Users find the monetization intrusive, with frequent and sometimes crashing ads disrupting gameplay, and many express frustration over the high cost of removing ads via a monthly subscription. There is also confusion about language options and a desire for a silent ad mode or an affordable ad-free version. Overall, ads detract from an otherwise polished game experience.

- “Some of the intrusive ads crash the game.”
- “Banner ads plus full screen ads and no way to change language to English even though it's on the United States app store.”
