has ads that you can't close without going to the app store 👎👎👎
Too many ads. I'll be uninstalling.

worst game ever
Lately the game crashes when you try to open it. Please fix!! Still crashing, if not updated by the end of the week I will have to uninstall the app!

too many ads now.
too many ads
Has ads. No thanks.
would be 5 stars if there weren't scam ads you can't close that show up separate from the regular ones (I've gotten one halfway through solving a puzzle) and are designed to scare you into downloading malware. Was planning to buy the extra levels + no ads before this started happening.
This is a solid fave of mine. However, I'm having a problem for the 3rd time. My game crashes when I complete a level and it goes to the scoring page. Please advise on how to correct this problem. I've already reinstalled it twice. I don't wanna lose all the levels that I've played. I am at level 3397.
ruined by ads. every ad will not close and all take you to the play store and requires closing the game to get back to the game.
too many adds. after every level, need to watch an add. for a new player. not my style. uninstalling
played one game and it places me into a full page as that I couldn't get past without exiting. uninstalled.
too much adds
as someone that has purchased the extra levels and the ad removal and has nearly 100% on this game, I feel like i can say this... For the love of God remove the move counter, it's literally useless, people that care just hit to reset the level, then complete it. As I've gotten up to the harder levels it's been obnoxious. Every time my finger slips, or I accidentally leave the line one square away i have to restart. It doesn't make the game harder, it just makes it worse. Sometimes, less is more.
I enjoyed this game when I was younger, but playing it with these ads are insufferable. The ads suck, and I can't close them out without being forced to go to the app store. I visited the app store more than I've played the game. It's also not worth paying for add remover.
too many forced ads
AWESOME UNTIL THE ADDS KICKED IN. This game used to be fun, now the adds have taken over and they even break into the game play with scare adds that tell you, your phone is infected with a virus.
horrifying ads every level, unskippable and you can't even click them away, you have to go out to the play store and come back
Recent update moved a lot of level packs that I previously had access to behind a paywall. Hints also cost money now. App has become a money grab
I like the game itself but the ads that open involuntarily send you to dodgy sites that can lead you to downloading malware... what is that about?
I bought the complete package a while back, and now it's just gone? The game is borderline unplayable without getting rid of ads, and I don't understand why my purchase randomly disappeared.
The ads are now so frequent and hard to dismiss at the end that it makes the game close to unplayable
Different complaint about the ads than others here: the ads often take over the app (navigating to a full screen page) with messages like "critical system vulnerability found". It's awful that Flow Free allows this, and I'm sure some users have been phished this way
its ad so bad
they have started using adverts that can't be closed.
Been playing this game for over 9 years, currently have a streak of 2467 days of perfect score on daily puzzles, but for some really annoying reason there's ads between every stage. I could pay the small amount for no ads, but occasional ads were ok, not what's happening now! Are the developers running out of money and need to screw with people's OCD addiction! Way too many ads.
Can't switch ads to silence and regularly (almost daily) includes a scamming ad
