āWould be 5 stars if there were no ads.ā
āFunny enough, I did purchase the smaller options of no ads and 3 clues at 99 cents each, but it won't let me buy the full version!?ā
āIt's a really fun game, but the amount of ads it has makes it unenjoyable.ā
āTicket system makes no sense, just a way to force players to watch ads.ā
āI can handle the ads, but I played maybe 15-20 minutes and ran out of 'tickets', which are for sale?ā
