too many ads & cannot collect stuff for Pete

This was a fun game when it was first released, but after several updates, it has slowed down. Now, the game freezes when you go into the castle to look at your characters or leaderboards. After several seconds, the Chiquita banana ad pops up. This is highly annoying-especially if you have already signed up for their gimmick.
In addition, Im finally at a level where I can unlock Pete. However, I am unable to collect any "stuff" in order to welcome Pete. None of the quests to get the stuff will drop anything. So I guess I will never beat Zurg, which means I will never advance further in this game, which ultimately means this is a dead-end game now. Too bad. It was fun...in the beginning.

Dont like the change about Disney Magic Kingdoms, v1.1.0
