Seriously, the app store ads are the worst part of owning a smart phone.

It's seriously like 25 different versions of the same game but with different characters. No, I'm not playing Matchington Mansion, or Evermerge, or Woodoku, or Hero Wars, or Fishdom, or Royal Match or any of these other games. And then even worse is that these ads take you to the app store with the intent that you're going to download them and they won't go away no matter how many times you exit them. And they seem to be getting worse with each update.

And no, a level on a matching game on a smart phone is not an accurate substitute for a real IQ test. And seriously, stop showing the fails too. Show when they actually win for once.

I have all the same spy/malware that I have on my computer. It really does help the experience.
