The monetization strategy of the app heavily relies on intrusive and frequent advertisements, which users find overwhelmingly annoying and disruptive to their experience. Many reviewers express a willingness to pay a one-time fee to remove ads, but the current subscription model for ad removal is seen as excessive. Overall, the excessive length and frequency of ads significantly detract from the app's functionality and user satisfaction.
“I would pay a one-time fee for no ads, but monthly?”
“It's okay when it works; they want to charge you a monthly fee for no ads, but the app only partly works. It has the board solver where you take a screenshot and it helps find a word, but that does not work 9 out of 10 times you try to use it. Nearly every time it says it can't read the screenshot.”
“You go from no ads to really long ones!”
“The amount of ads is ridiculous; I can hardly use the app due to an ad every few seconds - and the ads are really long too... uninstalling this app, it's so annoying.”
“I paid to stop ads and they continued.”
“Works great, but often crashes when playing ads.”

Users find humor in the game's ironic glitches, particularly when it crashes while displaying ads that require an internet connection, highlighting the absurdity of the situation.
“Was working fine, then today it kept crashing and said I wasn't connected to the internet, which is funny because one of their ads was running at the bottom, and I obviously have internet or I wouldn't be able to write this review 🤔 😅”
