Hex FRVR

Used to be the perfect game to play as a strategy challenge and focus exercise. Eventually was getting scores up to 248,000 that lasted 30 or 45 minutes. Appears to have new owner developer teem that floods the game with distractive thought interrupting advertisements, VERY annoying hint feature that that you can’t turn off, auto starts while you are trying to think more than 10 seconds or pause to read a text. Worst part is if there are several options for your next play the auto hint will always pick the worst option for keeping the game going. The they will give you another move if you watch a 30 second commercial. Difficulty level also artificially rigged by eliminating useful pieces to where I rarely get over 20,000 points and five minutes of play on an exceptionally great one. Just deleted and looking for an alternative but will miss the original game.

I’ve played this game for many years, and I’m not sure what’s been going on with it. Half the time it opens and sits at a blank screen. I’ll force close and open several times and sometimes it won’t load at all. Then today I noticed some weird rating system showing other people’s pictures at the top of my screen and there’s no way to turn it off. And to add to that, I accidentally placed a 1x1 tile and I’ve not seen one come back since. I’ve paid for ads to be removed and keep having to restore my purchase and since I’ve paid, there’s no ads for me to watch to get a 1x1 tile. I don’t want to pay for pieces or watch ads - that’s so dumb. This is the game I play when I need something and it’s so upsetting they’re continuously ruining it with non-user friendly changes and making the app glitch out. I won’t be playing anymore if the 1x1 tile doesn’t come back. That’s go to be the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen done to this or any puzzle game.

I have this in three places - my iPhone, and twice in my Edge browser. Unfortunately, although I have my browser synced, I am having to re-earn the coins to get the theme I want. I get that the iPhone is its own thing, but I would expect that if my browser is synced between two devices, the game should sync, too.
