- “I don't mind in-app purchases either, but once you need to buy to win, it becomes pointless and unfair.”
- “Now they've riddled their game with pop-ups, not just the obnoxious ads but their own ads for their own games with misleading yes/no answers to dismiss, tripling the annoyance and interruption.”
- “Game used to be phenomenal, now it's full of ads and crashes constantly; I haven't been able to open the app since the new update due to constant crashes.”

I know it's an online game, but if it could add, for example, an offline mode that could be played through Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, it might be more playable. This could also serve as a marketing method, allowing me to play it with my wife as well.”
- “The game is perfect for smartphones—distracting, easy to pick up, and easy to put down, but it lacks true replayability.”
