You might be saying, “Don’t the ads let you close out of them early?” Well, they used to.
I open it and get the subscription pop-up (if I didn’t want it before I don’t now, so don’t keep pushing it), then when I close out of that I get a self-promoting “OmNom Run” ad. Every time I open this app it floods me with ads. I can’t even begin to explain the amount of ads in this game. Do you think playing Cut the Rope ad-free should cost the same as an Apple Music subscription? Yeah, I don't either.
CUT THE ROPE 8 22 FREE
I feel terrible trashing this game for things that have nothing to do with the game itself, but the free version is essentially unplayable this way, and $10 a month is outrageous.
Why does all this matter? Because beneath all these terrible publishing and marketing decisions is a fantastic, polished, and super fun game. It's faster and far less irritating to simply force-quit and relaunch the app so you don't have to suffer through another one. These are full-screen videos that are at least 45-60s long that can't be skipped, and they run so frequently that you might spend more time watching them than playing the game. I fully support an ad-based model for a free game, and I wouldn't care if it were just banners that constantly ran at the top or bottom of the screen, or an occasional pop-up. There's no option to simply buy the game-it's either agree to hemorrhage $10 every month, or suffer through these ads.Īnd let's talk about the ads. Why is everything being forced into a subscription model? $10 a month is about what most streaming services charge, but in this case, all you get is the privilege of playing a single iOS game uninterrupted by ads.
