With the new ads popping up before starting the game (10s no way to skip) and now in between and even after the game, this is a complete distraction from playing anymore, that also deters me from even considering purchasing this game. It used to be enjoyable, but not anymore. Get rid of the incessant interruptions or it will be uinstalled.

We're sorry you feel this way. App still has banner ads in-game + popup ad between games (so it doesn't disrupt play) skippable after 5-10 seconds with fast forward/X/Close. Ads let us give our apps away for free + fund development and when paying ads cannot show, non-paying images promoting our other apps are now shown. Paid version has no ads.

Can't even start the app and play one single ducking game without a 30sec add. Edit; BETWEEN GAMES, no problem, I understand you people need to make money too. But I boot the game, go to single player, just to play a single game vs comp, and I get your adds before I can even play. And this is not a rare occurrence. I can't skip them, no x appears, have to go through the 30sec for it to go to the game, tapping back and going ingame again only reset the add.

Sorry for your ad experience but ads between games are designed to be skippable after 5 seconds. Some ads show a fast forward icon (top left) instead of "x". If fast forward disappears, tap ad top left to bring it back. If neither it nor "x" appear, tap "back" button. Please report bad ads to support@aifactory.co.uk. Paid version has no ads.

I am facing a problem while adding new online friends. when I type the name of a friend, it is showing their account but I am not able to click on it. The search tab is hiding my friend's account. only a small portion of the logo is visible. Please fix this issue by removing the search tab after searching the name.
