    Annoying ads — Royal Kingdom claims to have no ads, but the ads they insert in other games you’re playing are the longest and most annoying ever.

  • Meowdoku!1star· Sep 14, 2026

    They lie — The ads for this game says there are no ads but there are lots of ads. Not that fun that I will put up with the ads.

  • Meowdoku!2star· Sep 14, 2026

    Fun game, but the Ads are ridiculously long. — The game itself is really fun. The ads are borderline abusive. The Kalshi ad runs the same ad 4 or 5 times in a 30 second ad over and over. They are not the only ones. I get needing ads and the ad revenue, but to put your players through that, and then require multiple actions of “click here” before the ad goes away is just ridiculous. I really didn’t

How this is counted

Every number is arithmetic over the reviews we hold, re-counted weekly: nothing modelled, nothing scored. Themes come from a frozen pattern classifier rather than a model reading reviews, so the same review always lands in the same bucket. A market rate is pooled across every app here; the store rate is the same count across 13,217 apps. A complaint is only called a gap when at least half the market carries it, at least 20 reviews are behind it, and the market’s rate is elevated above the store’s, the same cutoff used everywhere on this site, because a problem concentrated in one app is that app’s bug, and a problem every app on the store shares is nobody’s gap. This market has no full report yet, so the per-app notes are absent rather than estimated. The anger axis is counted either way: mean star of the reviews carrying each theme, from the same classifier as the counts above.
