If you have not read my articles on Guided Access and Tetris Blitz then, first of all, I am very hurt, and second of all, please read them first as a prerequisite for the rest of this article. I’ll wait…
…back already? Great!
I am continuing to enjoy playing Tetris Blitz, but there is a new ad feature that is VERY annoying. Apparently, I wasn’t paying enough attention to the ads that would pop up in-between games, so the app has decided to automatically redirect me to the App Store in the middle of games. When I am in a zone and dropping Tetrises (Tetri?) left and right, this is especially painful.
After a few times, I realized that I may have a way to stop this behavior: Guided Access. Sure enough, as soon as I turned this on, the app was unable to open the App Store on its own. And I have the satisfaction of seeing a little message pop up on the top of the screen now and again that says “Guided Access is enabled. Triple-click the home button or use Touch-ID to exit.” which lets me know that yet another attempt to take me out of my game has been thwarted.
