The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback from users, primarily due to the excessive and intrusive nature of the ads. Players report being bombarded with long ads after nearly every game, often requiring multiple clicks to dismiss them, which significantly disrupts gameplay. Additionally, the subscription model for ad removal, priced at around $5 per month, is viewed as steep and frustrating, leading many to express a desire for a one-time payment option instead.
“Little to no ads is really my favorite feature!”
“I love this game, no ads, play with friends but have to wait for them to move or play instant games with random people and the game is done quickly.”
“Fun, challenging, and no ads unless you want free stuff.”
“The game itself is fun, but they definitely want your money to skip ads on a monthly basis.”
“It's not worth it anymore; paying to get rid of ads and support the devs but then having ads pop up anyway... I'm done.”
“The ads are too many, too annoying, and too stupid to put up with any more, especially now that the ads freeze so often.”

“Good game.. good concept.. looks good.. but the game gets dragged by unnecessary jumpy graphics/animations in every single screen... can be reduced significantly to focus more on actual gameplay rather than heavy animations for every screen (rewards claim, game move, game start, game end) 1 star less only for this...”
“For a simple word game it's very slow to load and graphic/memory intense because I can't play for longer than 15 minutes before it grinds down to a halt.”
