This is the premier “Hole”. All others are bad limitations. They did an update a few days ago. A major overhaul on graphics & gameplay. Turned this from a good game to an awesome one. Im on level 381 (thats an insane amount of game playing btw) & I still havent unlocked the “secret” section. […]

Ok, there’s A LOT of ads. I mean, you’re forced into an ad every 3-5 minutes. But this isn’t the problem. The problem I have is with the in-app purchases. I have to pay $10 for removing ads, offline gameplay, and 150 gems. That sounds good. I can make do with removing ads, but OFFLINE […]

I just recently redownloaded this game and was so disappointed. Not only are there so many ads, but there are also only four maps now and I’m pretty sure I’m only ever playing against bots. It used to be so much fun and a good way to just waste a little time, but now it […]

Gotta fit this into 500 characters. The ads are intrusive, and during a 3 min game, the ads will pop up during a ‘break period’ every 60 seconds and last 30 to 45s. Reward Ads are an option. However, if you choose ‘no’, it gives an Ad anyway. Some games never end. During these games […]

Awesome fun game!! it really is…. but ads SUCK. you can’t even play 1 round without having over 2 minutes of ads. so if you don’t want to spend $10+ for the ad free version I wouldn’t bother downloading. it’s really unplayable otherwise. I’ll stick to playing ot on my kids tablet. it’s so much […]

There’s no way this isn’t at least 90% bots, at least while you’re actively playing. I purchased the no ads option, and just launched a new game. I followed each player around the board, they all seemed to have similar names “DirtySock” “AdjectiveNoun” etc. They were all level 1 still well into 30 seconds into […]

Used to be a fantastic time killer and a fun game. Now completing one level requires you to sit through 2 or 3 unskippable one-minute ads including a “halftime” which literally stops you in the middle of a level and forces you to sit there and watch an ad before picking up where you left […]

Not even worth playing, let alone paying for no ads. You get an ad quite literally *every single minute*. I am not joking. The first mission You are forced into doing gives You 4 minutes to complete, and every single minute it has a “halftime” showing of a 15 to 30 second long ad. And […]

DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS GAME! I used to like this game and paid for ad-free play as well as some add-ons. They’ve changed the game so that you must watch ads in order to complete the board much of the time. Sometimes it’s even impossible to complete the board! Greedy cheaters! Previously: Best hole game […]

I downloaded the game a week or so ago. I purchased the no ads the same night. I played happily for a week where I was able to eat 30 or 40 enemies in a single round, because the 5 other opponents would disappear then respawn after a few seconds. Then something happened today where […]

The forced ads are ridiculous. Multiple ads per level! Like God forbid we get to play for more than 1 min without an ad. On top of that, the ads crash the game. They consistently open the Play Store, and that force restarts the game. I get you want to make money, but it shouldn’t […]

I like listening to audio books while playing games, but this game has added a wonderful new way to drive players crazy, not only do you have to have game interrupting multi-layered ads now they play ad audio over game play that repeats and there is no way to turn off the sound or exit […]

this game is a shell of what it used to be. no more multi-player option, only ai. several ads per game, one before a game, and one after the game, as well as several just sprinkled throughout non-game time. so many pop ups, ads that play during the game on the sides and bottom of […]

it was great when it was still a website. now there’s ads at least three times in one run. it is the worst thing when you’re trying to play an “online game” when there’s forces ads in the middle of it. you’re obviously not playing with real people which is annoying and you can’t choose […]

If you’re looking for Hole.io, you’ve come to the wrong place. This app is Ads.io. You will spend more time watching ads than in gameplay. At one point, it was making me watch an ad every minute of gaming, sometimes skippable, sometimes 90 seconds you can’t skip. I won’t bother to write about the gameplay […]

UPDATE: I forgot about paying for ad free, evidently that didn’t make it thru the updates. that being said, I love this type of game to just chill out, relax, and play to pass time, BUT…. ads, ads, little play time, ads, ads, little play time, ads. ad the fact I payed for ad free…. […]

ads every 60 seconds, with countdown on screen I can’t seem to avoid an ad every minute. You see a timer tick down. A reward or bonus or something happens. Then you’re presented with an ad. I don’t mean buy game currency, I mean completely unrelated to the game ad. Let me play for at […]

The game play is fun. At least when you’re not bombarded with ads. There are forced ads every 30 seconds. I didn’t mind the voice-over ones as much. I understand that they have a “remove ads” package, but not many people can or are willing to pay $10 for that. I liked the gameplay, but […]

I rated this game a five when I first started playing because it was simple just eat stuff on the map now I don’t recognize it anymore so I changed it to a one. To clarify you still eat stuff on the map but now you have levels to complete before it was just plain […]

I like this game minus all the ads .. I did pay for the no ad version, but you still have to watch ads if you want to have different styled holes. Not to mention, the levels are all just repetitive and nothing new. It’s the same few “worlds” every level and it’s gotten annoying. […]
