“TOO MANY ADS — Too many ads keep me from wanting to play. Is an ad after EVERY board necessary. If I wanted the game, I’d have it. If I wanted the product, I’d get it.”

What we measured
Each line is a measurement published as a measurement, never a verdict.
Each line is a measurement, published as a measurement. Where we have not looked, the line says so rather than reading as a zero.

Themes reported by reviewers
1 theme reported
Counted from the reviews we have read for this app. "No theme reported" means no theme reached our reporting threshold — it is not a finding that nothing is wrong with this app, and we do not say it is.
Five-star share of ratings
80–89% five-star
Arithmetic on the stores' own published rating counts. It says nothing about why the ratings fall where they do.
In the package we scanned
No package has been scanned for this app, so nothing is published about what it ships. That is an absence of evidence about the app, not a finding about it.
Graded bands · predicate set 1.4 · how these are measured
What the analysis found
App-specific findings, grouped by what each one rests on. How they are graded lives on its own page.
The catch list 1
Charges we publish at a strength we stand behind: measured from an artefact, agreed by independent sources, or reported by enough users to clear that charge's own published bar.
Reported by users: Aggressive ad load
Advertising volume or placement that interrupts normal use: ads between every action, unskippable or forced full-screen ads.
What we saw: Raised by 81 distinct reviewers — 13.7% of the 591 reviews scanned on this store leg (App Store).
Highlighted reviews
Representative public review excerpts shown as user reports, not Appworthy audit evidence.
“Too many ads — WAY too many ads, makes the game unplayable. The UI for ads doesn’t even let you close the ads, very deceptive and shady practice. I don’t get how you could mess up such a simple game??”
“Too many ads — Every time you open the app or try to do another deal you are BOMBARDED with unskippable ads. It’s not worth it to play anymore. It used to be different.”
