Number Match - Merge Puzzle 4+

I like that I add each number but I don’t really understand the gist of the game. The point system doesn’t go higher based on high numbers and then if you don’t let the adds go in and offer you more exchange numbers and you refuse many times then all of a sudden game over. Very weird. I like to know what my goal is and when I’m achieving goal. I do like this bc it seems therapeutic but it doesn’t feel like a game. More just matching numbers that mean nothing and achieve you know points. For example when I start moving out many numbers to finally achieve a long list of the same block number all of a sudden the game wants to delete that number. Makes. No. Sense. And there’s no where on the app the dither explains the premise of the game. This is just a therapeutic number slide. No game at all. Needs improvements to make it a game.

I had to uninstall this app not because the game was bad, but because some of the ads were auto clicking links to sites with malware and tracking software. I got multiple fake Norton website popups (that I had no control over receiving as they were NOT the banners at the bottom, but the ordinary full page ads you get after reaching certain benchmarks in the game.) and had to force close the tabs in Safari (read: NOT the game) in order to get rid of them. This happened about 3 times in the span of an hour. Again, these ads are taking you to a website, saying they’re from Norton, and presenting you with typical malware/adware scare tactics so you’ll click on a suspicious link or download their software.

I’m not entirely sure if my device is safe or not at the moment, and I’m going to start using adblock after this experience because it was scary how easy it was for the advertisement to do this. I have never downloaded an app from the App Store and felt THIS unsafe. It really freaked me out. I won’t be using this app, or changing my rating, until those ads are taken care of and removed from advertising on the application.

Other than that, great version of this game!

I’ve been playing this fun little game for about 3 months and really enjoy it. It’s fairly simple to play and I’ve made it into the Vs. Sometimes I go a week without playing and sometimes I’ll play two or three times a day. It’s just a nice little distraction when things are stressful.
Yes there are ads and I haven’t experienced any malware or being directed to other sites. Some of the ads are playable which is always fun and if you don’t like them you can either pay the $5.99 to eliminate them or just put up with 20-30 second ads about 8 minutes or so. What I actually like about the ads is if they didn’t pop up I may end up playing for hours, so they’re a nice distraction from the distracting fun of this app.
I wonder how far up it goes?????????????
