★★★★ "I paid for it to be ad free, but it still has sooooo many adds, and some of the levels are just super hard. Finally, it is pretty sad that you can't go back and do earlier levels. You just have to keep trying the same levels that you fail, …" - Micah S

★★★★★ "The game is great, but do not go for a no-ads option. In the no ads option, you just get 6000 coins and thats it. The lives get over so quickly, and after a while, sometimes you have to pay with 900 coins if you do not want to wait for 20 m…" - Anubhavbhai Gupta

don't spend money on "no ads" it's a scam. you still have to purchase lives. totally reporting them I reported them. "No Ads" leaves the user to believe lives will be turned off and gameplay will be open. "No Ads" doesn't do anything relevant after purchase. I want my money back.
★★★★ Micah S 5/8/2026
I paid for it to be ad free, but it still has sooooo many adds, and some of the levels are just super hard. Finally, it is pretty sad that you can't go back and do earlier levels. You just have to keep trying the same levels that you fail, watching more adds to get more lives and power-ups. It's fun for about 10 minutes, and then you wish you had never found it. Edit: I get that you pay the bills with ads, but what did I pay for when I paid for it to be ad free?
★★★★ Jan Nedbal 5/8/2026 v1.24.09
Freezes and crashes every single time at around 30 seconds into the 1st level. Literally unplayable. The AI generated images and the huge amount of 3rd party trackers don't help either.
★★★★ Pedro Santiago 5/7/2026 v1.24.09
The game started to lag and stopped for about 15-20seg, time wich they discounted you so you lose and have to watch ads to extend the match. Not recommended.
★★★★ Daniel Smethurst 5/7/2026 v1.24.09
just paid £8.99 for 5000 stars and ad free . took money . not updated the game . 😡
★★★★ Mars Bean 5/5/2026 v1.24.09
a more boring version of hole.io that uses generative AI slop instead of real art 😒
★★★★ Rachel Layton 5/3/2026 v1.24.09
if I gotta watch 30 - 45 seconds of advertising to play I should 30 - 45 seconds of play time.
★★★★ Laura Piwonka 5/2/2026
they don't give you enough time and make you watch too many ads to get additional time
★★★★ Amy Briggs 5/2/2026 v1.24.09
LOVE this but $9.99 for no ads?! it comes with other things, but id rather be able to just pay for no ads without the extras. i paid $10 and i have to wait 30 mins for a new life or pay 900 coins?! ive never seen such bad value in an otherwise great game. edit: im super confused about this developer response. i paid $10 for the game to be ad free. thats your revenue. not going to make anything on ads when someone quits playing because they got ripped off...
★★★★ Benjamin Winters 5/1/2026 v1.24.09
Don't try to purchase anything from this app. You'll get an error message stating your purchase couldn't be completed, but they keep your money and Google is no help to resolve!!!
★★★★ Qpc Qpc 4/30/2026
bad the timer goes out fast and it gives me just 20 coins that not enough
★★★★ Ashley Harg 4/30/2026 v1.24.09
Game is not allowing me to complete the 10 second ad its just loading. Also its not okay to make us watch a 30+ second ad just to get 10 seconds.
★★★★ Mariangela Ellendorf 4/28/2026 v1.24.09
I purchased a bundle and its not showing on the game.
★★★★ alysia deas 4/28/2026 v1.24.09
The game is fun. But I'm uninstalling it. AD CITY!! So many ads. Too many ads. Irritating and over done. Can't get through a single level without having to watch one. And if you want to avoid spending money on their add-ons, you can watch MORE ADS. Tired.
★★★★ Cat Kay 4/27/2026 v1.24.09
paid for a bundle. Money gone from my account no bundle no coins etc. That was yesterday.Today 9th April 2026 its done EXACTLY THE SAME AGAIN. Customer service not responding. DO NOT SPEND ANY MONEY ON THIS GAME. I was advised to contact their customer service team on both occasions. NO RESPONSE!!!!! hello still waiting for a response from ur team STILL NOTHING FROM CUST SERV?? AND YOUVE JUST TAKEN £ AGAIN AND NOT GIVEN ME THE BUNDLE time for me to contact relevant authorities 27th April 2026
★★★★ Angela Doherty 4/27/2026 v1.24.09
An advert EVERY SINGLE LEVEL. becomes unplayable. so disappointing. greedy.
★★★★ Jayaram Raghavan 4/26/2026
the game crashes when I open all the time i installed and uninstalled so many times it's getting stucked all the time i can't even finish the tutorial
★★★★ Chris 4/26/2026
lots of ads
★★★★ Kevin Nicol 4/25/2026 v1.24.09
shame about the ads that keep causing the game to glitch and crash, so have to start again. would have been a lot higher score, but getting close to uninstalling as wastes time and effort because adverts dont seem to be formatted and cause game to crash.
★★★★ Tiffany Jenkins 4/25/2026 v1.24.09
I paid 4.99$ I haven't received my coins it was a package deal I still haven't received them
★★★★ Aurnab Barua 4/24/2026 v1.24.09
This game doesn't let me play the whole day. Now I need to move on to another game and I am uninstalling this
★★★★ Ephrem Molina 4/23/2026 v1.24.09
I just paid for no ads, yet when I try to redo a level I get ads. Response: What do you mean ads help you pay for service? I just PAID a premium that said it would get rid of game ads, what do you mean!? I'm about to charge that $10 USD back if that's your response.
★★★★ PREM CHHETRI 4/22/2026
omg too many ads it's not a game it's a torture 😫
★★★★ Nicola Butler 4/22/2026 v1.24.09
Taken the money from my account for purchases I made but not given me my bundle. 🤬🤬🤬
★★★★ Holly Whitter 4/21/2026 v1.24.09
Too many long Ads!! and fancy having to watch an ad for finishing a level! If I have to keep watching Paula's Choice ads, the app goes, I will never buy for the sheer repetitive annoyance of it!! It's a joke!
★★★★ Benz stephens 4/21/2026 v1.24.09
giving you 1 star because my kids play this and they played for the no add version and now the adds are twice as long and twice as frequent. left a bad taste in my mouth so 1 star and delete
★★★★ Chloe Kilmore 4/19/2026 v1.24.09
can't even pay the first level without the app crashing
★★★★ Jovy Usisa 4/19/2026 v1.24.09
ads are longer than the actual stage
★★★★ A Google user 4/19/2026 v1.23.14
get to hard in the upper levels and losses its fun
★★★★ M C 4/18/2026 v1.24.09
loading issues- game freezes as it's loading or on opening . .up reply to developer: the app freezes upon opening. there I'm unable to access anything.
★★★★ Allen Henson 4/18/2026 v1.24.09
uninstalled as soon as I saw the ai image.
★★★★ A Raptor 4/18/2026 v1.24.09

★★★★ Soumya Sharma 4/18/2026 v1.24.09
App keeps crashing on my iPad and my android phone.
★★★★ pargat singh 4/17/2026 v1.24.09
After level 343 very bad game lagging so much that's the reason I uninstall this game
★★★★ Stephanie Kellum 4/17/2026
***DO NOT GIVE THESE CREATORS YOUR MONEY*** addicting af, i honestly really like playing. But... WAY. TOO MANY. ADS !!!!! Come on guys, after EVERY round (win or lose), really?? greedy gamers.... edit: so I posted this, and then scrolled through (probably too many) other reviewers all saying the same opinions as me...but what kind of pisses me off is the copy/paste, clearly non human, auto response EVERY review gets. so i repeat***DO NOT GIVE THESE CREATORS YOUR MONEY*** They dont deserve it...
★★★★ Simon Knight 4/16/2026 v1.24.09
adverts won't load to give extra time. massively frustrating 🤬
★★★★ James Jenkin Davis 4/16/2026
ads ruin then game. dont bother
★★★★ Russell Marquis 4/16/2026 v1.24.09
This game keeps crashing and stops midway.
★★★★ K J 4/16/2026 v1.24.09
No Ads is an absolute scam, I purchased it and the game still requires me to watch Ads for powerups and end of game coins multiplier!
★★★★ Daniel 4/16/2026 v1.24.09
Would Never suggest getting this to mates . it glitches very badly on Level 71 and slows down to next to nothing while the timber keeps going . it is a bloody joke . DON'T GET IT . Try others from different makers .
★★★★ jessica soule 4/15/2026
This game keeps freezing up on the first level just a few seconds into the game. Had anyone else had this problem?
★★★★ Arjun Yadav 4/13/2026 v1.23.14
bekar app hai
★★★★ Kevin Hamilton 4/13/2026 v1.23.14
how do I transfer this game to new phone and not lose progress?
★★★★ Tim Cox 4/13/2026 v1.23.14
the game is fun, addictive and strangely satisfying but way too many ads, which go beyond sustaining the developer and border on greed. Play in flight mode, you don't need boosters once you learn the routes. PS the I suspect the support responses are AI and not human, more greed on the part of the developers...
★★★★ Sergii Zaiets 4/12/2026 v1.23.14
Generally it's cool! But level 37 doesn't have one rabbit and it's impossible to finish it.
★★★★ Ben Kussmann 4/12/2026 v1.23.14
spend more time watching ads that won't close than playing the game.
★★★★★ Anubhavbhai Gupta 5/8/2026 v1.24.09
The game is great, but do not go for a no-ads option. In the no ads option, you just get 6000 coins and thats it. The lives get over so quickly, and after a while, sometimes you have to pay with 900 coins if you do not want to wait for 20 minutes. If i would have known this, I would not have paid 10 euros. Ecen after paying the money, I have to wait 25 to 20 mts once the lives are finished.
★★★★★ Christy Houston 5/8/2026
They don't give you enough time, and if you're lucky enough to get the bonus 3/3, you only get 10s each, which is nothing. This is one of the worst hole games I've played because of the time restrictions & slow-moving holes. Deleted.
