Why does apple allow apps to totally take over iPad?

Consider that App Developers need to make a living; they don't work for no return. If you don't pay for the App, it will be monetised (i.e., create income) through some other medium - such as carrying advertising.

Many "free" Apps have an in-App purchase option that will suppress intrusive advertising.

If you are unable (or unwilling) to pay to remove unwanted advertising, your only option is to delete the App from your device - and find some other entertainment.

Apps can be force-closed using the App Switcher page. To expose the App Switcher page, swipe-upwards from the bottom edge to the centre of the screen, pausing briefly before lifting your finger from the screen; you will see a thumbnail image for each of your currently open Apps. Apps can be force-closed by swiping the corresponding thumbnail off the top of the screen.

I can suggest 5 things:

• Quit playing the game.
• Express your frustration to the developer directly.
• Write a review for the app in the App Store to let other potential users know about your frustration.
• Pay for an ad-free version of the game.
• Subscribe to Apple Arcade where none of the apps you play will have ads or even in-app purchases.

Again, that's how the developers build web games. They get their money by selling ads, usually on a per-view basis, so of course they don't want you playing the game when off their site since then they don't get paid.

Making a good game takes a lot of time, often hundreds if not thousands of programming and testing. Expecting any developer to put that much effort in without them getting paid in some fashion is unrealistic. I doubt very much that you work, or worked, at your job for free.

If you go to the App Store and look in Games -> Top Free Games, you can see which require payment, either up front or as in-app purchases, and perhaps you'll find something you'd like. But any such games are either very likely to have ads or will be fairly rudimentary.

That's all we can say on the matter.

Regards.

I understand that and if Apple would have some TRUELY FREE CARD GAMES,

Apple doesn't offer "TRULY FREE CARD GAMES" but they do offer Apple Arcade which, for a monthly fee, gives you access to a library of games with no ads.

My favorite solitaire game is one called "Full Deck Solitaire". I've forgotten if there is a free tier or not. However, the basic game pack is 5.99 and there are absolutely no ads. It's not a subscription, either.

As varja paw pointed out, making a good game is a lot of work. Not only do I expect developers to charge, I want to support the ones who do create good games. Six dollars was a small price to pay for a game I play every day.

How about more on this debicile.

It is not single ads that I object to but several of the card games I have tried the new updates for are running MUILTIPLE ADS, or MULTIPLE VERSIONS of an ad with the computer locked UNTIL IT TOTALLY FINISHES. Then to compound the issue, this happes with each HAND make it highly objectionable to finish a game in any reasonable time. And, this does not include all the ads that are on the playing screen during play. They must be making a MINT off the ads as a money source.

So download and play a different game without ads.
