136 second ads

According to our contact at AddApptr (the extension we use to show ads), a "skip" option should appear after 30 seconds. Do you see the option to skip at some point?

Just to give some context, if you check my recent gameplay (if you have that ability), I just had that ad 7 or 8 times in a row

I appreciate it, Travis. Love the game

Yep I've seen ads for FPL (the electricity company here in Miami). 136 seconds , wow that's long. And I thought the tv ads I used to get that buffered for a minute were bad...

I'll bring it up with our ad partners. That said, ads are definitely regional.

I have not been playing this game long, so I am still doing whatever I can to build up Gems. Besides the daily quests and purchases, the most effective way seems to be to click the mystery boxes and watch the ads. I understand the need for ads to support this wonderful game, and you guys deserve whatever money you get for them, but 2 minute and 16 second ads are a bit much... especially when you click one, get through the ad, get another mystery box 20 seconds later, and it is the same 136 second ad. This makes the grind pretty intolerable. Can we please dial back the length on the ads?

On a side note, the ad mentioned above is for GMC and centers around businesses in Minneapolis, so it may be regional. Not everyone may be experiencing this.
