How ads work
Tapnumi is free and supported by ads from Google AdMob. This page explains exactly when ads can appear, and the limits the app enforces.
Our promise: no ad ever appears while a puzzle board is on screen. Your board is saved after every move.
The four kinds of ads
| Ad | When | Limits |
|---|---|---|
| Optional reward videos | Only when you tap a ▶ button that names the reward first: +1 Add, +1 hint, +1 undo, Continue after “No moves left”, double the daily reward, open a past daily puzzle, progress toward a theme. | Always your choice; declining never blocks play. Up to 40 a day. |
| Between boards | After you tap Next, Retry or Home on a result screen. | At least 90 seconds apart, with a played board in between; never in the first three tutorial levels and never after Continue. |
| When you open the app | On the start screen, from your second session, or when you return after a while. | Never when you return to a board you were playing. At most 4 a day, an hour apart. |
| Banners | At the bottom of Home, Levels, the Daily calendar and Themes. | Never on the board, result, shop or settings screens. |
Ad content
Ads are filtered for a general audience (maximum content rating PG) and sensitive categories such as dating, gambling and alcohol are blocked. Filtering is done by Google and is best effort. If you see an ad that shouldn’t be there, use Settings → Report an ad or email [email protected] with the time and the kind of ad.
Your choices
- Remove ads: a one-time purchase removes banners, ads between boards and ads at app open, plus pop-up offers. Optional reward videos stay available if you want them.
- Hide reward buttons: Settings → Show optional videos.
- Personalised ads: in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland use Settings → Privacy options. Everywhere, you can reset or delete your advertising ID in Android settings.
