Before the March update this game got a strong 4-star rating. Now, it is a struggle to give it even 1. Here are the issues:
1. With the new animation, the game now lags and hangs. Not good if your score is based upon speed.
2. The monthly scores from daily play just reset and/or disappear essentially looking like you hadn’t spent every evening playing the daily game to beat your previous month.
3. The ads at the end of play, while annoying before, have now gotten invasive and unacceptable since they now include audio and you have to go through at least 5-seconds before you can X out. I play this in the late evening and I can’t have my device off silent and play or it wakes my spouse...loudly.
Your upgrade broke a decent playing game. Now to find another vendor....

I used to enjoy this game but lately, you have been running an ad after EVERY game played. This is ridiculous and has ruined the game for me. Please consider running less ads and I will consider giving a better rating.
UPDATE: I received a response from the game developer that I could remove all ads forever by making a one time purchase. They then asked if I would like to update my review.

Of course, I’m aware of the option to purchase ad-free apps; however, their reply did not address my original concern that lately they are running ads after EVERY SINGLE GAME!!! Sounds as if the increase in ads may be an annoying marketing strategy to raise revenue:

Let’s irritate the crap out of our customers

by inundating them with annoying ads so

they’ll purchase an ad-free version of our

game.

Sorry, I won’t be coerced into making a purchase. You’ve just lost a customer.

So I get it; “Free” apps use advertisers to make money. But most of the time it’s a banner at the bottom, or an annoying ad between games that, if the designers are smart, can be easily skipped through. But no, after years of idle time killed playing Spiderette, the devs have decided to up the ad ante to adds that pop open a browser window in the middle of a game in progress, without the user actually tapping a banner. This is a bridge too far, and it’s prompted me to remove the app from my devices.
