Recurring themes

Excessive Ads negative
The most prevalent complaint is the overwhelming number of ads. Users report ads appearing after almost every level, being unskippable, very long (up to 2-3 minutes), and sometimes preventing them from returning to the game, forcing app restarts. This contradicts the developer's general 'bug fixes' and 'game improvements' notes, as ad frequency and functionality are major issues.R6R9R18R34
Ad-Free Purchase Issues negative
Several users who paid for the 'no ads' option report that ads continue to appear, leading to frustration and a feeling of being deceived. This is a significant bug not addressed by the general 'bug fixes' in the release notes.R68R20R78R80
Game Difficulty mixed
Many users find the game too easy, especially in early levels, wishing for more challenging puzzles. However, some still enjoy the simplicity and find it relaxing.R11R15R17R24
Enjoyable Gameplay positive
Despite the issues, many still describe the core gameplay as fun, entertaining, relaxing, and a good way to think. This positive sentiment is often overshadowed by the ad experience.R1R2R3R5

Who it's for

This game is for casual puzzle enthusiasts looking for a simple, relaxing, and mentally engaging experience R5R19R33. It is NOT for users who are easily frustrated by frequent, long, and unskippable advertisements, or those who expect an ad-free experience after making an in-app purchase R9R18R68R80.

Evidence note: The recent reviews heavily emphasize negative experiences with ads and paid ad-removal, contrasting sharply with the high lifetime rating. This suggests a recent decline in user experience, possibly due to increased ad monetization or new ad integration issues. The developer's notes mention 'minor bug fixes' and 'game improvements,' but these do not seem to have addressed the core ad-related complaints.

  12. [R9] 1/5 · US All ads: Too many ads that are un-skipable. And ads that you can’t close. This game also tries to get you to download other apps constantly.
  13. [R18] 1/5 · US TONS OF ADS: More time watching ads than playing the game. Deleted 10 minutes after downloading
  14. [R25] 1/5 · US Too many ads: Too many ads deleted
  15. [R36] 1/5 · US Dont bother its an ad machine: You play one level, you have to watch an ad and its not quick nor can you click out. You have to wait and I mean 3 minutes or more each.
  16. [R39] 1/5 · US Too many ads: Every level had a long ad, and NO way of exiting it afterwards. Had to close the game and go back in to play next level. Not worth it.
  17. [R49] 1/5 · US Terrible Ads: Connect Balls is buried under ads. Nearly every move triggers an unskippable interruption, making it impossible to build any momentum or actually enjoy the gameplay. Uninstalled within minutes.
  18. [R68] 3/5 · US Charge for no ads misleading: I like playing this game. But when I selected the option to pay $3.99 for no ads option, ads are still popping up in my app which is annoying. So what was the $3.99 charge for? it’s deceiving.
  19. [R20] 5/5 · US Na: Paid for no ads and still showing ads
  20. [R78] 1/5 · US Scam: I paid for “no ads” version, yet the game won’t allow me to continue without waiting for the ad to finish. How about a refund?

  23. [R17] 2/5 · US Too easy: Too much of annoying ads
  24. [R40] 3/5 · US Too Easy: Title says it all. If they would have more levels with borders might be better.
  25. [R65] 1/5 · US Hater: It’s not hard and nothing to look forward to
  26. [R29] 1/5 · US Fun game: Absolute BS you can’t finish it because of the pop up adds that absolutely will not let you continue
  27. [R76] 1/5 · US This game sucks!: This game sucks! A stupid add comes up & you can’t get back to the game.
  28. [R91] 1/5 · US Deceptive: It is ruined by the ads that refuse to let you off the screen to get back to the game therefore I deleted it.
  29. [R140] 1/5 · US Ads harder then the game: The puzzle are no weren’t as difficult as the ads. Ads would last over 60 seconds and then lock the screen causing you to to close the app and reopen it. Once you do that you play 1 level and start the cycle again.
  30. [R34] 1/5 · US Ads ads ads: Ads are long and many. Ad time longer than game play
