Vita Color Sort for Seniors

I downloaded and immediately deleted this app specifically so I could give it a one star rating and write this review, since the App Store doesn't allow ratings and reviews for apps that haven't been downloaded, although I would have done that if I could. For an app that advertises itself as "No ads" there sure are a whole lot of reviews complaining about the obnoxious length, excessive quantity and (unsurprisingly) abominable quality of ads. Vita is just one among hordes of deceptive studios who develop games that are based on lies and obfuscation. Vita is just one among hordes of studios who don't understand that advertising is supposed to PERSUADE, not DECEIVE, potential users to try your product. But I guess it doesn't matter sice there are always going to be enough gullible whales to support the studio, even if everyone else avoids them in disgust. Not that Vita is going to read, much less care about, this review, let alone change their ways. Don't waste your time or bandwidth downloading this or any other Vita game.

The game itself is alright, for what it’s worth, but the ads it displays are sketchy and deceptive, especially for a game aimed toward seniors. For example, some of the video ads have fake notification dialogs claiming that an app on the user’s device needs to be updated. This is a trick to get the user to install the app. Most users would be able to tell that these dialogs are fake, but considering that this game is aimed towards seniors (who may not be as familiar with iOS’ UI), they may not be able to tell the difference. There are also deceptive ads across the bottom - some mimic a phone app or messages UI with a flashing button (to make it seem like the user has a new message). Not all of the ads are like this, but some are. You guys seriously need to reconsider where you’re getting your ads from.

I love this relaxing game. It doesn’t have “in app purchases.,” which I love. I don’t mind the ads. I say this because the ads are very short! Some games have ridiculously long ads to earn specials and in between rounds! I even sometimes just hit one down by the bottom of the screen because I believe this is one game that seems to appreciate the people who play. Thank you for a fun relaxing game! Highly recommended game!
