“Graphics are okay, but a lot of the time there is no movement, which doesn't make sense because I was still able to match the cards. There are also a lot of ads, which is so annoying. The ads could be placed at the bottom of the screen since there is a lot of space for that. The consumption of battery is too much; for that reason, I'm uninstalling the game. Sorry developer, come up with a better solution. That much advertising doesn't look good on sports apps.”
