How to Remove Ads in Solar Smash: Pay $3.99 or Go Offline

Adverts in Solar Smash are removed by one in-app purchase — AdFree, listed at $3.99 on the App Store as of September 2026 — bought from the game's shop and restored on any other device with the same store account through Restore Purchases. There is a second route that costs nothing: the simulation runs offline, and adverts need a connection, so a phone in airplane mode plays Solar Smash without a single interruption. What does not work is any bundle you might expect to include it: the All Weapons Pack at $9.99 and the planet packs add content, not silence. Below are both routes, how to restore the purchase on a new phone, and the one case where the adverts come back.
Before you start
Understand what is being sold. Solar Smash is free with advertising, and the adverts arrive between attempts — after a planet is destroyed and reset, which is the moment the game repeats most. The App Store listing shows the item that removes them as a separate line: AdFree at $3.99. Nothing else on the list does it. The weapon packs ($1.99 to $9.99), the planet packs and the level unlock are content; a reviewer who buys the All Weapons Pack expecting quiet has bought fifty weapons and kept the adverts.
Know that nothing is gated. The game has no progression, no currency and no objectives, so the purchase changes nothing about what you can do — every weapon and both modes are available free. It changes only whether an advert plays after a reset.
Know the size of the trade. The game is 536 MB on iPhone and holds 4.8 stars from 390,000 ratings; it is rated 9+ because the destruction is abstract, planets rather than people, and it ships in English only. For a toy with no ending, $3.99 is the whole price of owning it quietly — less than a single weapon pack — and it is the only purchase in the list that changes the experience rather than extending it.
Know the free alternative. Our review found the simulation runs offline and that adverts and purchases need a connection. That is the cheapest fix there is, with one limit covered in Step 3.
Step 1. Buy AdFree in the game
Open Solar Smash, open the shop — the in-game store icon on the main screen — and find AdFree. On iPhone it is a $3.99 purchase confirmed with Face ID, Touch ID or your Apple ID password; on Android the equivalent item is bought through Google Play's purchase sheet. It is a one-time purchase, not a subscription: there is nothing to renew and nothing to cancel later.
The adverts stop with the next reset. If they do not, close and reopen the game once; the purchase state is checked at launch.
Step 2. Restore it on another device
The purchase belongs to the store account, not the phone. On a new iPhone signed into the same Apple ID, or a new Android phone on the same Google account, open the shop and use Restore Purchases — the game re-checks the account and switches the adverts off without charging again. It does not cross platforms: AdFree bought on an iPhone is an Apple purchase and does not carry to Android, where it would have to be bought again.
Step 3. Or play offline for nothing
Switch on airplane mode, or turn off Wi-Fi and mobile data, before opening the game. Planet Smash and Solar System Smash both run entirely on the device, so every weapon and every orbit works; with no connection there is nothing to load an advert from, and the reset goes straight back to the planet. The limit is the shop itself — purchases and restores need a connection — so buy first if you want both, then go offline for the session.
If it does not work
Adverts continue after buying. Restart the game. If they persist, use Restore Purchases in the shop; if the store shows the purchase but the game does not, contact the developer through the store listing with the receipt.
Restore Purchases finds nothing. The device is signed into a different store account from the one that bought AdFree, or the purchase was made on the other platform. Check the account in the App Store or Play Store settings.
You bought a weapon pack by mistake. Refunds go through the store — Apple's report-a-problem process, or Google Play's refund request — not through the game. The pack stays either way; only AdFree removes adverts.
Adverts appear in airplane mode. The game had a connection when it loaded. Close it fully, confirm airplane mode is on, and reopen.
A child keeps buying packs. Turn on purchase approval — Ask to Buy on an Apple family account, purchase approval in Google Family Link — so every $1.99 needs a parent's confirmation. The game is rated 9+.
Bottom line
AdFree at $3.99 in the in-game shop, one time, restorable on any device with the same store account; or airplane mode, free, because the whole simulation runs offline and the adverts cannot. Do not buy a weapon or planet pack expecting silence — they add to the arsenal and leave the interruptions where they were.
