Hoop Stack 4+

Easy to use app. Pretty mindless and the puzzles don’t seem to increase in difficulty, but still a lot of fun.

I can see a lot of reviews regarding the amount of ads within the game - you must watch an ad for every 10 games played, even if you pay for the ‘no ads’ version. My tip is to force close the app and reopen it to avoid watching the 30 second ad.

UPDATE: I got a refund from iTunes Support. Bigger Games did not respond to my emails.

The purchase for “remove all ads and banners” is misleading, do not purchase, or, purchase then refund later because you will still receive some ads. This is the best resolution support could offer.

July 25:
I paid $5 for no ads, so I could catch up to my partners (we were racing through this game).

But I still get ads!

Specifically I get ads every 5 levels. I either have to tap to skip ad (delays game play) or watch the ad. This continues even after I’ve unlocked everything in the game.

I also get ads if I skip a level. I don’t skip levels, but tested to see if there were still ads.

In my opinion, it is deceptive to charge for no ads and continue to present some ads anyway. The way the purchase was presented to me, I thought it would be no ads. So I feel conned.

I’ve contacted Bigger Games about this issue and will update this review if they resolve the issue.

Don’t bother downloading. Each puzzle takes about 10 seconds to complete & before progressing to the next puzzle you have to watch a 30 second ad. The ads are relentless and take up more time than the game. I don’t mind a few ads here and there or having to watch an ad to get more lives in other games, but this game takes it to a whole new level. After about level 5 the levels do not get harder. I played to 30 before I gave up. To other games who advertise on this game - I will make a point of not downloading them. Scams like this should be taken down from the App Store.
