Hi Tomos,
I'd like to offer you some thoughts if I may. I've been playing this game for a few weeks now and am quite enjoying it. Over the course of the past month or so I've watch you make many improvements to both the front- and back-ends. Most are good changes, however there are a few things which deserve comment:
(1) A couple of days ago I finally bought a referal. However this was someone brand new to the game. They were on level one and appear to have earned 499 soposhi and spend about half-an-hour on the site in total before giving up and going away. I'm a bit annoyed at that because I've spend a days earnings on someone who wasn't a tested user - they were simply checking it out. Can you please not offer new accounts for referral purchase. Let the the accounts mature for a while first. Maybe you should let them upgrade the Bar to level 2 before you offer them.
(2) There are too many times I click on a link (say to buy beer) and I get an ad instead. OK, I get it that you need ads to fund this but if you must show an ad can you at least them follow through with the action as well? I currently need to do a separate refresh to see if it took the action and then re-do the action if it missed. This is really annoying and will turn people off the game, see (1).
- There are too many ads in general - when I click something I get pop-overs, pup-unders, new windows and eveything else you can think of - sometimes all at once or two or three new windows of ads per click adn I find myself playing "IE Whack-a-mole". This interrupts the flow of the game and will turn people off the game, see (1). You need to find a balance between ads and useability, but at the moment it's too heavilly weighted on the ads.
- You introduced a force-login if the user changes device. I found it really convenient to have multiple devices logged in. That way I could leave my desk, pick up the iPad and keep playing while in front of the TV, or I could do an event update on my phone while I'm shopping. Now I have to log in when I pick up the iPad and then re-login when I return to my desk. What purpose does this serve? Why do you object to people using the game from a variety of different devices? From a user perspective, it's just annoying.
- There are some things which would work better on a once-per-calendar-day basis instead of 24-hours. One withdrwal per calendar day would be an improvement and the same for the daily bonus. However keeping the inventor on a 24-hour cycle works for that to because it's part of the challenge of the game.
Tomos, I think this game is great and you've put in a lot of hard work. It's got great potential and I want this to succeed as much as you do because then we can both get benefit from it. I know you need adertising revenue for it to work, but there is lots of room for improvement.

I disagree with number one and two.
1)For referral, there is already warning that buying referral is risky, and now the referral is empty so u should know if there is referral availabe it mean its old account that comeback or new account. If u dont like then dont buy.
2)For pop up or under its optional. If u dont like just TURN OFF, TURN OFF, TURN OFF. Because NO ADS NO REWARD. You can keep play the game even if dont turn on the pop up right, why dont yoy turn off it, tomos never force user to wear pop up though. Truth, top earner is using pop up and STILL not compain, just like me i always close the pop up immediately after appear, and need close 3 pop up per half hour
I agree about your though anbout WD and daily bonus is depend on calender days, but not for inventor.
