  10. [R1] Roblox 1/5 · US Terrible updates.: I know the recent updates are aimed at improving the apps security, but i think it is too much now. I believe the updates only make it easier for bad people to try and talk to their targets, and they can easily go to another app, or bribe them with sending robux. Goodbye, from Johnny 

  15. [R87] Paper.io 2 3/5 · US Fun but adds are annoying: Game is enjoyable. I am upset with the incessant adds. I even paid for them to go away but I still get pop up adds. I’m not talking about the adds you can choose to watch for more rewards. I’m talking about unavoidable non optional adds. I’m very frustrated that I spent money to remove adds and yet they persist. Worst yet, some adds will linger on the screen and never ha
  16. [R61] Paper.io 2 1/5 · US Ads: Why so many ads? Three to four pop up right in the middle of a game, and there are always ads after a game too. It's too much; it makes it hard to play normally. · translated

  19. [R84] Paper.io 2 3/5 · US Fun game, but…: Look, this game is fun. I’m literally in the top like 15 percent of players; that’s how much I play it. It’s the same thing over and over, great to pass the time and cure boredom and it’s got cute little characters or whatever, but you can’t play it for more than 5 minutes because of the ADS. There are so. Many. Ads. If you die, that’s an ad. In the middle of a game, ad break! Died
  20. [R13] Roblox 1/5 · US It’s not doing good: currently in Roblox there are age groups, such as Roblox kids, Roblox select, and regular Roblox. My main issue is Roblox select and regular Roblox, one of my friends is 15 and in Roblox select, I’m 16 and in regular Roblox. I think it’s so unfair because I can’t see his chat anymore in games, I don’t see his user or anything, it doesn’t show that he said anything at all. It’s

  22. [R69] Paper.io 2 3/5 · US this game is ok:): after a whilee of playing you start to realize how easy this game is.. it’s extremely botted and i’m 100% sure that i’ve never actually played against someone and honestly i don’t even think it’s possible to play with real people, and to me because of the bot issue it makes the game feel dull. i would like if there was an option to play against other people but other than that t
