The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads that disrupt gameplay, often appearing after every level or quest.

The game's stability is a significant issue, with numerous users reporting frequent freezing and crashing, particularly during ad transitions and when using boosters. Many players express frustration over losing progress and rewards due to these glitches, leading some to uninstall the game entirely. While the game has potential, the persistent stability problems detract from the overall experience.
“Game continually freezes and cheats you out of bonuses, and you also must repeat levels often due to the above stated issue.”
“I've given you one star for the game. I love this game, but again the ads mess it up. It freezes when the ad goes, it shuts the game off. By the time I open the game, the reward is gone. I have to restart again. Waste of time. I do not recommend this game unless you have a lot of time on your hands to waste. Hopefully, you will fix the problem; maybe then I'll come back.”
“Even though I did like the game, I had to delete it because it kept freezing. It wouldn't let me do anything with the game while it was frozen, so I had to delete it. If you can get the glitches fixed where it will keep freezing, I would more than gladly reload the game onto my phone, but right now.”
