The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the frequency and length of ads, particularly as they progress through levels. While some users appreciate the option to remove ads through a small purchase, others find the ads intrusive and disruptive to gameplay, often leading to a negative impact on their overall experience. Overall, while the game is enjoyable, the consensus is that the ads can be excessive and detract from the fun.
“Love it, this is the best mahjong ever, no ads, no nonsense, free to play, lots of wallpapers and tiles to choose from.”
“Totally worth throwing a couple of dollars at for more boards and no ads.”
“This game of mahjong epic is awesome and you don't need to be online to play it and no ads interrupting the game.”
“The excessive ads are way too much.”
“I'm downgrading this review to 2 stars because I just had to deal with a four-page stupid ad, all of them timed so that I have to wait before I can move on to play the game. 3 pages was dumb, 4 pages is just ridiculous. I'm considering uninstalling your app all due to the idiotic ads that make me wait like I'm gonna be a dummy and install it.”
“The more I play, the longer the ads, which are loud.”
