Commercials Ruin an Otherwise Terrific App

I’d EASILY give this five stars but for the annoying ads. I dished out $6 thinking I could get hints and reshuffling for free. No such luck. I loathe commercials. I just learned how to play and it’s easy. The game is very nicely designed. The cards are large. I’d look into ALL the games for seniors from this company if not for the endless ads. That’s why I have Apple 🍏 Arcade. I assure you I am not going to be getting ANY of the games advertised. This is a fun app which is great brain food. But please do something about the ads. I’d pay more to ABSOLUTELY get rid of them. I’m hooked but I can’t stand it!

Deleted Vita Mahjong

After 3 days of serious addiction to this game, I ended up deleting it for a couple of reasons. From day 1, I won the games at the end of the day . . . Really??? Are these competitors just created “people”? Second reason, each time I tried to use a reshuffle, the game would somehow disable internet access and keeps coming back urging me to go online. Only resetting my device would fix this, for a short time. Third reason, it was addictive and I found myself spending way too much time playing. Fourth reason: the ads are over the top. As another player noted, they just don’t go away; pressing X just seems to be encouraging them to stick around . . . And bring some other ads. I understand revenue, I understand that this game was free, but 2-3 minutes for an ad every time one finishes a board is over the top! Today, however, I missed the game (after 3 days, mind you . . . Talk about it being addictive!) and re-installed it. I have to re-earn all awards. Will limit my playtime and see how it goes. All in all, I clearly like the game!

Dear,

We're thrilled to hear that you're enjoying the game! It's always good to know when our players appreciate the game. Some ads can be skipped after watching for about 5 seconds; you don't need to watch the entire ad. Alternatively, you might consider subscribing to our ad-free service, which you can find in the game settings. Looking forward to your understanding!

Just uninstalled Vita Mahjong. Couldn't take it anymore. The game stopped giving me my earned points before taking me to Kelly Clarkson weight loss ads and that totally gross toenail fungus Ad!! GOODBYE

I am a puzzle player. Vita Mahjong was my favorite until today!! I loved the competition puzzles and usually win. I could deal with the endless ads until today!!! Once you play a game it would immediately add your points and I could see who was close to catching me. NOW...as soon as you complete one mahjong tile it goes straight to a long annoying AD!!! Once the Ad finishes I hit DONE and the X pops up and when I tap the X it NEVER removes the Ad!!! It either starts back over or I have to tap done and the X numerous times!! What has really bothered me today (7/5/24) are the Kelly Clarkson Ads!! After the Ad ends and I click done and the X it takes me to her freaking Facebook page!!! Really?!!! Why? I just want to play Vita Mahjong and NOT go to Kelly Clarkson Facebook page! I don't need to lose weight!! Fix it or I'll have to uninstall and say GOODBYE!!
