ADS DISPLAY DURING GAME PLAY---FIX NEEDED!!!

This game had been one of my favorites for a long time, but this update has pushed the "freemium" model too far. Let me preface this by saying I dont mind paying for a game. If I like a game and I feel like an in-app purchase is reasonable Ill do it. I spend around $10-$20/month on games, so dont think Im anti-freemium; I am not. I just feel like after this update the ONLY reason to make an in-app purchase is to get rid of the ads. I get it, ads pay the bills where most people dont spend money and the game developer is trying to earn a profit. I am totally on board with this model. Again, I have no problem shelling out some cash on a game I enjoy playing if its a reasonable price (and the prices in this game ARE reasonable). That being said, however, agressive, annoying video ads after EVERY race (if youre not on wifi or cellular the game freezes), and flashy, obnoxious banner ads DURING game play have made this game nearly unplayable. I like the content of the new update (new buses, new level, new difficulty challenge, in-app purchase of temporary coin boost), but there needs to be some balance between the game and the ads. Post-update, instead of the game being played in fullscreen (like before), the banner ads are displayed at the top and bottom of the screen (again, DURING game play), taking up roughly one third of the screen. If youre on a smaller tablet or phone, good luck playing at all. My other gripe is that I had made an in-app purchase on my first iPad when I first started playing the game (still have the device), but when I went to download the game on my phone and new iPad, the ads were there in full obnoxious display. There needs to be a way to sync your progress, coins, purchases, etc. to a server so the game can be played across devices without having to make a purchase on each device you play on. As for the restart button...oh wait, there isnt one. PLEASE ADD A RESTART BUTTON so you dont have to abort and go back to the main menu each time you want to restart a race. Fix the ads and add the restart button and this game is a winner and gets 10 stars!!
