Needs a No Ads Option – Christmas Countdown 2021! Review

This is a beautiful app, it truly is, but I do wish it had the option to purchase a version without ads. The first time I opened the app, I was greeted with beautiful music and the screen informing me...19 Days Until Christmas. I then tapped the presents to see the daily quote. I had just enough time to read the quote and the words really start sinking in...Charles Dickens inspiring me to be a better person, not just at Christmas, but all throughout it the year. I am truly “feeling” the emotions of the meaning behind the Dickens quote when suddenly a full screen ad pops up wanting me to shop for gifts at Nordstrom’s. Ugh, what a sudden and very unwelcome interruption. I get, I totally get that these smaller apps need the advertisements for support, but must it be a complete and total interruption like this? Now the big hot pink box at the top of the screen wanting me to buy a Samsung TV totally ruins the beautiful graphics, takes away from the music and distracts me from the quote. I don’t even want to open the app anymore. I would pay even $5 for no ads in an app like this. If ads don’t bother you, it is a beautiful, wonderful app. But at this point, I have seen more than enough ads in my emails and in my online shopping thus far, not only do I NOT want to see another one, but I am actually put off by the store and items that pop up. There is a time and a place for advertising - this is certainly not it.
