[R9] Geometry Dash Lite 3/5 · US Great game, but no music and lots of ads make it no so great.: I understand that the full version has no adds and has music and this one only doesn’t because it is free but it gets really annoying since it’s literally every time you die so if you’re playing a hard level you don’t get mad because fail you get mad because as soon as you do you go in to an add for a buns game

  7. [R36] Geometry Dash Lite 3/5 · GB Fun but bad: I experience lag spikes lots and after changing my icons I get an ad when I play levels after 1 attempt. Also toe 2 unbalanced at the start.
  8. [R47] Geometry Dash Lite 4/5 · US A weird bug: I not sure if its just me but, when I usually go to daily level weather I have beaten the level or I just want to continue onto another daily level, the countdown says zero and it just won’t give me the new daily level. Sometimes it would work and sometimes it would not give me it. I usually have to wait an extra few hours just to get the daily level. I have tried deleting the app and
  9. [R66] Subway Surfers 3/5 · US Good but a lot of ads: Btw pls read!!! This game has a lot of ads but it’s a good idea for long car rides! Sometimes it is super glitchy tho and is constantly playing the same ads and asking me to buy the bundles! A good idea for this game is to have a starter pack for first timers so they can get like 10,000 coins 30 keys and like a couple of boards and characters!! In the showdown races I for s

  11. [R3] Geometry Dash Lite 3/5 · US Ads: This is a good game but it is so ad infested it’s not even funny. You get to die one or two times before you get an ad. If you’re mid level and you pause to pick another level, ad, I’m just constantly force closing and re opening the app just so I don’t have to sit through the ads

  14. [R28] Geometry Dash Lite 1/5 · US My first demon is gone: OK, first when I accidentally deleted the game I tried to log back in and I tried everything I activated my account using different glitches and it still didn’t work so there goes my account.

  16. [R69] Subway Surfers 3/5 · US This is not fair: I love your game. It’s not like I want you do go down, but there is a bug I need you guys to fix. I beat a lot of people in the leader for the run. Twice , I beat the champions high score. I even beat my own record. Then when I come out of it, in still in the same place, I refreshed my game and this was still here. You guys owe me my diamond and my champion medal.
