Knit Away

I really enjoy playing this game, the colors are bright, the designs are fun, and the vibration of my phone when I pull a string is weirdly satisfying, but there are a couple of things that need work. First, I paid for no ads, but it seems to have taken away the option to watch ads to get boosters, though I can still watch an ad to get extra coins when I beat a level. Also, there needs to be some kind of daily log-in reward, because right now the only way for me to get boosters is to either pay real money or win a level to get more coins, and when I’m stuck on a level, my only option to win is to basically pay real money, since I don’t get ads for boosters. I pay to remove forced ads, but still would like the option to watch them if I want to in order to get coins and boosters.

This game has so much potential to be a fun relaxing game to pass time. I very much enjoyed the game concept and gameplay however the amount of ads and how long the ads run for is unreal. If you win a level, you have 2 options: either watch an ad to receive a bare minimum amount of coins, or the option to watch an ad and win 2-5x the coins. I have never played a game where you are forced to watch an ad either way until this game. If you lose a game, you are instantly put to watch an ad. Once you get around the 40th level or so, it is impossible for you to win the levels without an upgrade. If you don’t have enough coins, want more coins, or choose the unfortunate option of watching an ad, it is, believe it or not, 5 MINUTES. The ad itself runs for about two minutes, then you have to wait an additional minute for the X button to appear on your screen, then an additional minute for the X button to appear again before the 4th X to boot you back in the game with your upgrade. I have permanently deleted this game as the developer does not deserve to receive $10 to remove these outrageously long ads. This game is not worth that. I would highly recommend picking other games that do not force you to watch ads to continue playing. There are plenty of other games that deserve you and your time more than these greedy developers who chose to charge $10 for players to remove unbearably long ads the developers chose to include in their game.

I think developers who claim there are no ads in their apps and then who proceed to have an ad after every level should be held accountable and legally responsible for false advertisement. You literally have an ad after every single level, and then you also have to watch an ad if you want to get through some levels. I would actually enjoy this mind-numbing app otherwise, but with some of the levels, you absolutely cannot get through them without using the boosters. However, unless you watch an ad or spend some money, it is impossible to get through them without using the additional tools that are available. That means at some point you will have to watch ads. I’m not sure how this app acquired 4.9 stars, because I know I’m not the only person here who is annoyed about the fact that there are ads after every level, but that is also sketchy to me. As I said, although the game itself is enjoyable, it is not worth sitting through the monotony of ad after ad after ad when you have claimed there are none. I’d rather pay you an upfront fee for this app and earn the boosters/tools along the way than to waste any of my precious time on an ad. I will be deleting this app and continue to delete any others like it. I’ll also make sure that I leave 1-stars and negative feedback just like this so that maybe others will start to follow suit and force developers to be honest, ethical and transparent before we download these apps to our devices.
