Cons
Con Game save corruption issues
Many users have reported that there is an issue with saves getting corrupted due to no official way to close the app.
Con Indie games should be free
Con Has ads
You can skip them with the premium currency. But the ads are always triggered by user action, so they don't randomly interrupt your games. This means they're also technically optional, but they give you bonuses you'll probably want.
Con Mediocre translation
While the basic spelling and grammar seem correct, the writing could really be better. It's often not clear what things do, even when they're documented.
