Users criticize the monetization for excessive ads that obscure the screen and hinder gameplay, causing frustration. They prefer the previous ad-supported model that allowed full access, as the current paywall restricting levels is seen as a negative change. Additionally, ads reportedly slow down device performance when closing the app.
