Ratings and reviews

The app will automatically download games that I haven't chosen. Especially when I'm not using my phone. If there is a way to turn this feature off, it's not clear. Setting for this app are hard to find and it needs all permissions turned on or it might not work right. I have also scanned my device for viruses in malware. No problems can be found when I do the scan, so that is not the problem.

I play and pay for a lot of in app purchases. And I was getting the Google Play points. I was excited when I got enough to turn them to app purchases, till I found out, they were only gonna make me pay out to much to get a little. points added up to a $2 credit, then found out, you can't use it with any other purchase, and my games don't have those cheap prices for stuff. So, now $2 is wasted, cause even a $1.99 purchase won't work, all because of the tax they want for your purchase. Saveup more

A few days ago (May 2nd, looks like the day of the last update) this app started constantly running in the background and causing my phone battery to drain rapidly. The screen gets very hot and the battery drops about 10 percent or more per hour when I'm not even using the phone. It's opening up a bunch of apps and running them as well. FIX YOUR APP GOOGLE!
