Royal Match Ads

Unfortunately, bombarding users with ads, even highly annoying ones, work. Advertisers all know this, as can be attested to with many ads over the decades where they repeat the same obnoxious ads over and over. Like:

Please don't squeeze the Charmin!

Mama mia. That's a spicy meatball!

While this approach does work on many folks, it has just the opposite affect on the wife and I. To this day, we will not even consider buying Charmin bathroom tissue because of the incessant Mr. Whipple ads. And they stopped running those at least 20 years ago.

Like I sad elsewhere explaining it’s all broken doesn’t make it ok, it proves it needs reforming

Wow, I didn't realise those ads are misleading too! (For the same reason as so many others, I would never install that game.)

Apple says they can't do anything, but I think they could. They could set a limit to the time ads play in order to be listed in the App Store.

Not only that, but it's really nothing more than yet another Candy Crush clone. It just adds a timer of sorts that forces you to complete the board in a set amount of time to save the king.

I tried AdLock app. It did not do the trick. I have found my only peace is to delete the games that are doing this even though I liked them. These long ads are unbearable.

There's a solution! Switch to Airplane Mode when you're playing your games. NO ADS!

Ads alone are not a reason to punish a vendor. Unless, that is, they're highly offensive. And lots of ads or annoying ones aren't the same as offensive.

And besides, you have a choice. A very simple and easy one. Stop playing the game and delete it.

That’s a cop out apple. The developer doesn’t respond and it’s very clear that they are making their no ads point exactly by making their own ads totally invasive and impossible to skip or even dismiss. You need standards or people will leave the gaming platform on iOS altogether

Oh, puh-lease! You make it sound like this is the only game with ads. There are thousands of them. On the App Store, Google's Play Store, and on the Microsoft App store.

Try downloading Microsoft Solitaire and see how many ads that thing runs.

Completely agree! The incessant barrage of lengthy ads for this ridiculous game have put me completely against it. It actually made me wonder why this is so omnipresent, plus the “celebrities” hawking it are people I often don’t even recognise. How can this be stopped??

Stop using apps which show that ad and tell the developers why. Stop using the Royal Match app and its developers why. Pay to remove ads in any apps that support that.

In MS Solitaire for the iPad, a trick I use for these ads (and any others) is to let them run for a few seconds, then close the app in the application switcher. Then when you relaunch the app, it almost always comes back to the game and never finishes the ad.

It's kind of a nuisance, but still takes much less time than waiting for the ad to finish.

I've never heard that trick before. I'll have to give it a try.

I hate Royal Match. If those terrible never ending ads are supposed to encourage me to get the app they have missed the boat. I wouldn’t play Royal Match if it was the only available app. Please cut back the number and length of these ads.

Advertising that they have no advertisements is a serious misnomer. Anybody that has any other games will see that that Royal is the absolutely only ad that we continuously Have to endure. And not only that, the ads are ads of saving the king. There are never levels where you get to save the king and it’s over before you know it they should give you more chances to save the king if that is their entire platform this app is ridiculous.
