More ads than gameplay. I understand developers need ads to run their app and make money, but it seems their sole purpose is to make money, not to make a quality game. Greedy developers. All the ads that play, force you to open up your play store, which is really frustrating because you have to go back to the app after closing your Google Play store, and continue watching the ad. There's a reason even the expert mode is easy...it's so they can force people to watch more ads at a quicker pace.
was a awesome game, last week it is now riddle with ads startup and after every game
after every game an ad pops up that takes 5-10 minutes to get rid of. not worth my time, even though the game itself was fine
Interesting, enjoyable game but the ads are so invasive that the app has to be closed to get rid of them. Update: That was in March. The latest update made things worse. As soon as I pick a game level, the ads start and there is no way to get out of them. I can tap ">>" or "*" repeatedly and the ads keep coming, like a lazy Susan with ads but no game.
IT WILL AD YOU TO DEATH! AFTER EACH ROUND YOU HAVE AD! I would give it 5☆if it weren't for ALL THE ADS I can't find where to purchase the game I searched all settings, please help me so I can give you 5☆ thank you
it sucks
ad after every puzzle, a complete waste.
This game could be a lot of fun if you enjoy math, but you have to watch an ad after every puzzle. if your good at the game each puzzle is less than a minute so the ads get annoying REALLY fast. not worth the hassle.
it was the worst thing ever because actually they didn't even give you the right answers and then like two of them they wouldn't even let you it wasn't even the right one you can try every single one like first of all what and second of all there's no way you're getting that and there's just one one where like you cannot answer it and cannot pass it it was like level 2021 or something and like you couldn't answer it or get it right because the answer really was 2 * 2 but it really said 3 * 2 so
Please replace or remove the AI artwork.
Advertised as no ads! App ads come up between each game. Very annoying!
Useless Cannot get past ads to play game. Deleted day after installed
Forced ads.
many expert level maths are wrong
way way way way too many ads... not embellishing when I say there's an ad every two minutes
All my progress disappeared after the update, uninstalling
ok games, dose what it says on the tin but the second I finished a puzzle. the app put up an ad that forced opened my play store so it's a trash app
When i chose new game i should be able to chose the size of the puzzle (e.g. small or mid or large)
Okay, here is the deal. The game is fun and I have played way too many to admit. Each game last a few minutes on average. Some can be less than a minute but that is not the problem. It's the ads. If you play for an hour, you will have more screen time watching ads than gameplay. The only way around this is to load the game and then shut off the connection to your device. If you need your device for anything else that needs connection, you will watch more ads than play the game.
