The monetization strategy of the game has received significant criticism, primarily due to the excessive number of intrusive ads that disrupt gameplay, often appearing mid-level. Many users express frustration over the requirement to make in-app purchases to unlock characters necessary for progression, which they feel should be clearly communicated upfront. Overall, the combination of frequent ads and mandatory purchases has led to perceptions of the game as a "cash grab," particularly concerning its suitability for a younger audience.

“I downloaded this because it says it's free with in-app purchases (which sound optional) and my daughter loved it.”
“I bought the 3 My Little Ponies for $15 and I love that there are no ads.”
