What real reviews say
★★★★★ Engaging Very engaging and fun
★★★★ Too many Ads I love the game has been playing it every day however I hate those ads keep popping up.
★ Obnoxious ads This would get 5 stars instead of one if it wasn’t for the obnoxious amount of ads that I can’t even x out of when they are done. I have to close the app and go back into it. Love the game but might delete because of the amount of ads!
