Royal Match Ads

They get a percentage for each app

and make a ton of money this way.

If you play Royal Match, you should know that it is a VERY successful moneymaker-very lucrative!

and there is nothing free about it. You can pay a lot of money for this game. Some games only get 23-46 points but you have to buy coins and need 900 per game because they only give you about 24 plays. If you can’t make it, they double the amount. True, it is a fascinating game and well designed-very addictive…but they are in it for the money and make you think you’re getting perks when you could eventually pay a minimum of 1.99 per game unless you’re willing to play games for weeks hoping you’ll make it through. They’re betting the addictive nature will keep you coming back and spending a lot of money with little return.

I agree the app ads should be blocked-they’re deceptive and

don’t reflext the real game. In fact, as indicated by many who have posted, it serves as a deterrent.

at least provide an option that if you already have the app, you have the option to bypass ads.

There’s a difference between getting rid of annoying intrusive ads and getting rid of the app itself. If you’ve ever played the app, you know it’s a well written engaging program. The problem is due to its addictive nature & buying coins is very expensive…Apple profits enormously. RM sell coins from 1.99 (1000 coins) to 100.00 and there is little return…a game cost 900 coins-1800 coins to continue.the game if you don’t make it. They have serious teams who play and the activities are very engaging and they’re always introducing new activities regularly. so the problem is the ads and the exorbitant fees they charge that Apple allows because they profit too. The game is great-Apple will never limit those high fees-there’s no incentive to do that

When you play a game you may only have 23 plays and would either need to continue to play by buying coins or play for days to win.

I play a few games in airplane mode to avoid the ads. (In each case, the game shows you ads frequently and without giving you a choice.) Unfortunately, some developers have found a way round and seem to keep a cache of ads to hurl at you whether you're connected or not.

My problem isn't with ads themselves. I play a couple of good games that give you small rewards for playing ads, and I'm happy to do this. (I have crosswords and Japanese puzzles on hand to keep me occupied while they play.) However, I wish Apple would give the user the choice to suppress the sounds throughout adverts. It seems that in some modes (controlled either by developer or ad setup - I don't know which) this is possible, but in others it isn't - for example, the latest trick is to tag on a thing to the end of your advert (ffwd button in top right-hand corner instead of X control), during which the sound can't be muted, and you have no choice but to listen to the king scream and shout for 10-15 seconds or turn down your device volume completely.

Come to think of it, I don't know why ad playing has to be a game of cat-and-mouse between advertiser and user - if the game looks good, the user will check it out, but if the ad seems designed to be as irritating as possible (like the ones with these King), users will be put off from the start.

I TOTALLY AGREE! Make them go away. They are too long, irritating and intrusive.

Delete apps that advertise it and tell the developers why.

Totally agree. The real game is completely different from the one advertised. Apple should cancel those type of false ads.

this app is ridiculous.

So maybe stop playing it, delete it from your phone and leave a bad review.

In other words, you have a choice.

Anyone know how to leave a review without downloading the game? The last thing I want to do is add to its download numbers...
