I've been playing a game on my iPhone that gives rewards for watching ads, and while I'm okay with that, there's this repulsive ad for 'Wool Escape 3D' that keeps popping up. It's advertised in a way that targets pimple-poppers or something, and honestly, it's disgusting! I've already reached out to Apple to ask them to remove it, but no luck. It's been three weeks of dealing with this ad, and I'm at my wit's end. I heard that turning off personalized ads could help, but they're already off. Does anyone have any tips for getting rid of this ad?

I've found that if you close the game app just as the ad starts and then reopen it, sometimes it skips having to watch all the way through the ad. Also, I totally get wanting an ad-free version; it's frustrating when those options aren't available.
The best move is probably to contact the game developer directly. They need to know that their ads are pushing players away. Keep in mind, Apple doesn’t control what ads show up in third-party apps.
Honestly, if that ad keeps showing, I might just stop playing the game. There are so many other games out there! Maybe try something like Hearthstone instead, it's a classic.
I get it, but I'm already so deep into this game—level 3300! I don't want to quit, just wish they'd show me different ads!
