This game is a lot of fun. I love trying to figure out these crazy family trees, and putting together you’re own townspeople is a cute side game. However, there are SO many adds. Every time you finish a level there’s 2 adds. One just automatically plays no matter what then the other plays if you want bonus points. While that is frustrating when you just want to move on to the next level. I think it might be more tolerable if the game also didn’t repeatedly crash. Mine crashes a lot. After watching one of the many adds, it’ll crash. After finishing a level, It’ll crash. And it’s not like I can just reopen the app and try again, I’ll have to shut my iPhone down and restart it in order to play it again. Usually resulting in replaying the save level, sometimes multiple times. If they would fix these bugs I think this would one of my favorite games. But right now it just gets my so frustrated.

I’ve enjoyed about 75% of this game. There are bugs here and there that are pretty easy to navigate (such as in game glitches that go away with a scroll), but the biggest game issue I’ve had so far is the ad that plays after every completed game. If you don’t close out of it manually in time, it will freeze and you can’t click the X at the top right off the ad. It forces you to exit the app and refresh, but that means the game you just finished isn’t saved. I’ve had to replay the same level at least 7 times because of this glitch and it’s making me want to stop playing for a while. If this glitch was fixed, it would make a huge improvement for customer experience in game play. Update: They implemented a “bug fix” that made my issue worse. Now when it goes to commercial it just loads a blank blank page. I can’t play play the level I’m on, now. I submitted an email last week and never heard back from them. Maybe it’s time for me to just quit playing and find another game.

I enjoy this game, and if I were rating it only on the game itself, I would probably give it five stars. However, the advertising is annoying to the extreme. The ads run a minute or more and there’s no way to escape from them. If you want to play the game, you have to endure their nonsense, and they are repeated; you have to watch several between game instances. What gets me is that I don’t understand the logic of those behind the scenes. If I am not interested in something, what makes you think that by forcing me to watch an extra minute of your ad I will change my mind? If anything, it makes me less likely to change my mind. I am disgusted and angry and resentful of what you are doing. What’s interesting is that I found Family Tree through the same kind of in-game advertising that I am complaining about, but I didn’t have to be subjected to interminable ads to click on it. It seemed interesting and I went forward. The other thing is that it is annoying enough that I am seriously considering uninstalling the game. I am offended that you keep on forcing me to deal with crap that I am not interested in. If I see that idiot king one more time getting drowned, I’m going to uninstall. Stop treating your subscribers like idiots. We know what we want and being forced to endure extra advertising is not productive for you. It is annoying and it’s likely to lose you customers
