Ads DURING game

Purple diamonds
Notified support two months ago that you can not collect the diamonds for bonus rolls by any means. Contacted them twice asking if they are going to fix this and after two months there’s no word back nor no fix. This happens also on other apps from the same developer.
buns
way too many ads and straight bots
Too many ads
Way too many ads. Ads lockup (especially the one for the $15 to play another app) and then you end up losing the game because it concedes it for you. Waste of time. Could not find a way to pay for ad free other than $12 for only 2 days of no ads, absolutely ridiculous.
Online only. No local play.
Obvious cash grab, laggy ad ridden and missing basic function.
Why
This game is kinda dumb like every time my turn is over I get a stupid unnecessary ad
Unplayable
There are so many forced ads that it makes the game unplayable. I was playing it through an app to make money and I am abandoning this game before I meet any of the goals. The cost of eliminating ads is ridiculous.
too many ads
i understand why ads are needed, but there are just way too many and the cost to remove them is at least four times what i’ve seen it cost for other games.
Fix it
WTH is with the ads right after you take a turn that’s just ridiculous and then I can’t hit the back button or the home button I literally have to shut the game off and turn it back on to go to the home page I also can’t hit the setting button and the ad just sits on half of my phone it’s ridiculous.

Ads Everywhere.
You literally cannot get through one game without stopping and being forced to watch these 10-15 secs sometimes 20-30 secs ads…. And then the app has the audacity to charge a fee for no ads like we can’t just uninstall the app? like this game is a waste of your time. Download Yahtzee, its better and simpler.
Too Glitchy
This game is so much fun, but the buttons do not work!! The only way to X out of free spins or to view your own account page is to restart your whole device.
BEWARE TRASH
This game is full of ads that don’t even work. Do not download this! You mine as well just throw your time away!
Okay idea, terrible execution
The ads literally make the game unplayable. Whether it’s un-skippable, the “X” button just flat out not working, wheel spins that freeze your game, or ads that just straight up cover the the entire menu and all buttons - this game has it all. The short 15 to 30 seconds where you actually get to play are great, but there are far too many downsides to justify spending more time with it.
Forced Ad
You are unabled to close the wheel without watching tge ad.
Cool for the first few levels
Too many Ads it keeps crashing the game
Bots bots bots
Waste of time
Good Game BUT
Too many ads.
Ads make it unplayable
I’m used to ad breaks in games, but this is ridiculous. I couldn’t get to the game Home Screen because of a banner ad so I had to exit and reload the game. Then when it reloads I couldn’t click the button to pay for ad free because it’s covered by an ad!
Large ad banner
I love this game and would love to rate it better but the ads suck. I don’t mind the pop up videos or the small banners out of the way, but there is a large google ads banner that covers a third of my screen at the top and I can’t access any buttons behind it so if I want to back out of the reward wheel or anything I have to close the app because I can’t access the x to close it. I can’t even see the game content behind it and it’s hindering my play. The large banner is making this app SUCK!!
Adds like crazy
1. There is a add constantly running over your score.
2. This spin will pop up seems like after every play and that add that is constantly running is on the screen and over the X to close out the spin. So in order to keep playing you have to watch another add so you can spin the wheel to keep playing. Or close the game and restart. Just to have to redo it all again after 2 mins of play

Even more ads
I really enjoy the game play. Finally gave up and deleted the app a year ago. Decided to try it one more time and the ads were non stop. Absolutely ridiculous.
Unplayable With Ads
Game was fun off the rip. Then the ads started. One ad per game probably gets the point across. Guess draft kings owns your game.
#of ads
Horrible. great game ruined by
ads. before you play your round to roll your dice, you have to watch a 2-3 minute ad (sometimes 2-3 times in a row) to fill up 2-3 minutes. its pathetic. you can buy $14 for 2 days of being ad free. (but still have to watch ads to earn gems or pointless coins)

RNG
How much ad revenue do you generate by having the least random rng possible?
Every turn is an ad
Not after every round or after every few turns…after EVERY TURN. No thanks.
Scammers
This game will steal you credit info and use it!
Ads ads and more ads
Finally deleted it. Too many ads to be enjoyable.
Ads everywhere
The first two game plays seem to lure you in without any ads, but then as you start playing the ads are popping up almost every other roll. So it takes almost five minutes or more to just complete one game.
Also, there is a terrible banner ad that has popped up over the top of the whole game play so you can’t see your opponent, the top part of the score card or your gems.
Downloaded this because I love Farkel and this play on it but the ads have made it too frustrating.

love this game, but…
The Banner out on the top has got to go! It stays the entire time I’m playing the game, I have no idea how many diamonds I have because it’s covered up. I also am not able to close the free spin if I don’t want to watch the video because the banner ad is in the way.! Disrupting gameplay so much that I don’t even wanna play
Terrible and Broken App
The recent banner ad at the top got larger so that it prevents players from being able to see their profile level or even select the back and home buttons. Cannot see how many gems there are now or the profile level at the top. Also, why have players wait 12 hours to watch an ad and open a chest containing only 1 gem? Bad reward system. I also noticed it started requiring nearly impossible tasks for xp to get to higher levels. The excessive xp requirements to keep players stuck in a level, the poor “reward” systems in place, forcing players to watch ads for their profit just to give players NO rewards and/or insufficient rewards to advance, and the recent banner ad issue makes this app a terrible experience that is not worth the time and effort.
Good Game but Ads Block Game
I just started playing today and it’s fun but within an hour ads started blocking the back arrow so you have to force quit the app between every turn. This isn’t just on my phone either. Fix that and it would be much better.
Was a great game HOWEVER…
LOVED this game UNTIL the recent update placed an HUGE advertisement banner across the top of the screen that now covers all the scoring information so I can BARELY see what the scores are!!! Fix it IMMEDIATELY or I will be deleting it and EVERY OTHER GAME BY THIS CREATOR!!! VERY UNHAPPY!!!
Sucks
Spend more time watching ads than actually playing the game.
Ads cover the game
It’s a fun enough game but the ads at the top cover important information. Needs to be fixed. Very frustrating.
DELETING because of the ads
Day one loved it! Fun and fast. Day two can’t roll twice without pop up ads. Nope! I get enough on the television. I don’t want them in my gameplay.
Fix your ads and game
Countless times there is a banner ad that blocks part of the game and I cannot see who I’m playing all of the scores or how many diamonds I have. On top of that when it wants me to take a chance and spin the wheel either the banner ad is blocking the exit or when it’s not the exit button does not let me click it.
I actually literally have to close out the game completely reload it and get back in back to where I was just to continue playing the game

Unplayable due to ads
This game is fun, but truly unplayable due to ads. One roll and then 15 minutes trying to get off of an ad is too much.
Going to delete
The number of ads that you are forced to watch DURING active games is bad. To make it worse, now there are ads from FOX news pushing some hokey miracle weight loss. Life is hard enough listening to them lie constantly and now this. Unbelievable!

As, ad, ad, ad….
After 3000 ads you see “free!”. Nope, “free” means you have to watch another ad. That’s the whole experience.
I want to play Farkle, but…
I love the game of Farkle, but there are a number of problems with this app: I searched for multiplayer games, but this isn’t not; as soon as you fool the dice one or two times, you’re watching an ad (and between those ads the app interrupts gameplay to offer “free” spins for prizes - is it free if you have to watch an ad?); you start the game with a roll to see who goes first - out of nearly 100 games, I have gone first only once. But what is going to cause me to delete the app after I write this is the number of ads. Way too many and that makes the game boring.
Too many ads
Have to watch an ad at each turn of your dice. I understand free games have ads…but this is ridiculous. Too many to enjoy the game. I will be choosing a different app 🤷🏻♀️
Wayyyyy too many ads
Forcing an ad after finishing a match? Cool. Forcing me to watch an add after every turn? Absolutely ridiculous. Then on top of the fact that I watch the optional adds for rewards this game is a glorified ad ticker. A 2 minute game turns in to a 10 minute one with all the forced ads.
Ads
Love the game but removed app because the amount of ads are nauseating.
Fun At First…
Like most phone games, when you’re on the first level it’s fun because they wanna suck you in. As soon as you advance to “beginner 2,” however, it becomes a money grab. Tons more ads, and you’re suddenly rolling a Farkle every other turn. Still have five of the six dice to roll? Farkle. Constantly. But you can undo your roll…if you spend money on the gems to do so. Your opponents, on the other hand, are getting bonus rolls every other turn. So while I was enjoying it up until I advanced, it’s now so frustrating that I’m deleting it. I’ll stick to playing it with real dice.
Ads Everywhere
Literally everywhere. I’d understand maybe after a game or something but literally every other roll is an ad. And the cost to get rid of them? $20? That’s insane.
Eh
This game is trash.. I love the game but this one is trash! There ads after as after ads and then you can’t even get to the homepage because the ads in the way it won’t let you exit off and when you’re playing the game it freezes and it still won’t let you exit off the only way we can get out of it is to watch an ad
Too many ads!
Fun game but it wants me to watch an ad almost every game. Ruins the fun.
Way to many ads
This game was fun to play. The issue is that it had way too many ads. Ads would appear on every turn. Also the home button does not work to go back to the main screen.
