Ads are unbearable. Impossible to study!
mgynyc
The ads are unfortunately unbearable. You have to watch an ad after every scene or every other scene. I'm actually trying to study for a test and I don't need all of these distractions.There is supposed to be an in-app purchase, but for the life of me, I cannot find it. Would have gladly paid for it, but now I'm going to go to another app that doesn't have all of these ads - which are soooooooo long.

Can’t bypass ads
kitnick
The ads are ridiculously long, and the app is not allowing me to purchase the premium version that would eliminate the ads. I’ve tried to buy the complete collection, but it reverted to the ads. So I tried to purchase one play without ads, but it reverted to the ads again. This is a time waster.
