My wife turns off the WiFi on her phone to avoid the pihole. She does this so she can watch the ads in her games to get an extra life or whatever. You'll never win on that front and I won't either.
I get so pissed off when I try to play sudoku on the bus and it forces me to watch 30 seconds of ads between each game. And then during the game I have to ignore the flashing banner ad at the bottom of the screen.
Just pay for a good offline sudoku app. It probably costs less than a cup of coffee. Then we'll all be happier.
or get an open source, free and privacy friendly one from f-droid in case you haven't tied your hands with an iphone
Simple games don't need internet access. Can't you block network connection for that app?
A better option even is getting something like what BurnedOliveTree@lemmy.world suggested, or this other one https://f-droid.org/packages/org.moire.opensudoku/ or this other one https://f-droid.org/packages/org.secuso.privacyfriendlysudoku/
I recommend Airplane mode or getting this https://www.f-droid.org/packages/com.kaajjo.libresudoku
Then pay 99 fucking cents for the app.
If the ads annoy you enought to post online, but the app is good enough that you keep playing anyway, then pay the developer for their work.
I swear to God some people around here have heard the term FOSS and thought "I don't have to pay for software, hur dur it's free and writes itself!"
Try this
Lol at all of these comments coming up with ways to not pay someone $1 for a sudoku app.
There's TrackerControl.
Wow. I never would have guessed that people would be upset that they couldn't watch ads.
People defend what's familiar, even if it's shit
You ever consider divorce? /S
It's a decent value to play the ad while you actually pay attention to the show you're "watching" for 30 seconds.
Same. My wife gets mad that her ad emails won't load on her phone. I'm like, hun, just delete them, we don't have money anyway.
