The game's optimization has been criticized, with users expressing frustration over poor performance and a decline in user experience following updates. Many feel that instead of improvements, recent changes have led to bugs and a loss of enjoyment, prompting some to consider uninstalling the game altogether.
- “I'm putting one star instead of the 5 stars I gave a year ago. When companies usually update their apps, they add features, enhance performance or user experience, and finally fix bugs. You guys are killing the game and losing your users with every update. I used to be addicted to your game, but after today, I'll be removing it. With all respect, I'll uninstall the game, and if there were a 0-star ranking, you would deserve it. My advice is to hire a QA team and have some long-term vision planning.”
- “Game is not optimized properly.”
- “Need performance.”
