What real reviews say
★ Add-free is a scam I decided to pay for add-free and suddenly the add options to increase my coins is nearly gone. I get maybe one or two multipliers per day after the upgrade vs the nearly unlimited multipliers I got before upgrading. I’d rather go back to watching double adds for the extra coins. Their response was
★★ Forces Ads Despite Rejecting Offer to Watch for Prizes It is a fun game for the most part, but the app starts forcing you to watch its ads whenever there is an “offer” to spin a wheel or watch ads for prizes. I’ve clearly clicked “no thanks” each time and yet I get stuck on this ad cycle. I’m about to uninstall the game.
★★ More ads than gameplay You have to watch an ad every 45 seconds it feels like… this is honestly ridiculous
