I cannot understand how some people are living with this. It is unbearable

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.

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/

Just pay for a good offline sudoku app. It probably costs less than a cup of coffee. Then we’ll all be happier.

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!”

The thing is with a small app ads pay f all compared to the ongoing development costs. $100usd a year for Apple developer license, recent Mac and time spent developing it.

Lol at all of these comments coming up with ways to not pay someone $1 for a sudoku app.

I also really don’t like ads, but I think what’s lately been bothering me more is every short form video that exists has subtitles added to the middle of the video. I can’t even look at the videos because I hate getting distracted by the unnecessary text in my face. Like just let me watch your video, I don’t need you to spoon feed me the words too.
