Users find the game's frequent and intrusive ads—often before every move or game—disruptive to the experience, though the affordable option to remove ads is appreciated. Many prefer banner ads over full-screen ads and value the transparent choice between watching ads or paying to disable them. While some purchase the no-ads option for a smoother experience, excessive ads still negatively impact enjoyment for many players.
