Ratings and reviews

I just have one problem. I have Wheel of Fortune and Word Cookies installed with free ads in order to get rewards like free gems, free hints etc.. When I started playing them, I was able to close ads for other game apps to claim my rewards and go back to playing. A few days ago, that stopped. Now Google Play pops up. When I close it, the ad continues but I can't close it so I have to exit the game. Therefore, I lose out on my rewards.

For some God forsaken reason you can't turn off achievement pop-ups and Play Games also fails to remember what achievements I've already earned. So the net result is that every time I get a new achievement, I get an ever growing chain of pop-ups of old achievements. Can't turn it off either, since I can't even enter the game without signing in to Play Games. The game is Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond if that's relevant. Fix your app or at least let me hide the notifications. This is basic stuff.

This app is great, but recently I was playing a game and the 'achievements' weren't syncing (even though it says it's syncing). I was supposed to win 1000 XP for earning an achievement but the achievement banner never popped up. Indeed, when I checked this app, it says I have no activity at all in that game. This is frustrating, and I'm never going to level up my Play Games profile if this continues. What's the problem? I will change my rating to 5☆ once someone helps me with this issue. Thanks.
