  1. [R2] Water Sort Puzzle 4/5 · US Great game, HORRIBLE ads: I love this game. It’s great! Challenging but fun. The ads are awful. They require you to stay on the ad screen between 3-5 minutes before moving forward. You try to click it closed and it pops up the download screen every single time. Closing the game and reopening each time is the only way to proceed unless you have 5 minutes to wait it out.
  2. [R3] Water Sort Puzzle 3/5 · US Too many ads: Way too many ads
  3. [R4] Water Sort Puzzle 1/5 · US Unplayable: Absolutely unplayable unless you go ad free. The ads now splash over and block you from playing the game at all no matter how long you wait. You have to close the game and reopen it to be able to play again.
  4. [R10] Water Sort Puzzle 1/5 · US Ads are invasive: I am deleting this game, because of the insidious ads required to play the game. I don't mind a short ad, but these are ridiculous
  5. [R14] Water Sort Puzzle 4/5 · US Fun game: I love figuring out the puzzles, but I hate the update where they added in the glare. It’s hard to see colors. Please change it back to the original glass design!
  6. [R17] Water Sort Puzzle 4/5 · US Please change tubes back: I loved this game until the most recent update. They added a highlight to the tubes that make it incredibly distracting in my opinion to see the colors and just felt very unneeded. I would love for that feature to be turned off or just done away with. I feel the game is unplayable now.
  7. [R18] Water Sort Puzzle 3/5 · US Buggy: Good game but latest 2 updates with new look crash too often. Hasn’t happened in the past. The new look is very distracting.
  8. [R19] Water Sort Puzzle 1/5 · US New tubes: The new tubes have a reflection on them now which makes it harder to see the colors.
  9. [R5] Water Sort Puzzle 4/5 · US A little glitchy: I love the gameplay! I especially like the levels with the ?’s. I don’t mind the ads since they are usually pretty short. What I do mind is when the app randomly closes in the middle of a level and I have to start over. Please fix that.
  10. [R9] Water Sort Puzzle 3/5 · US Game stopped working: I have been playing this game for years and lately playing alot. All of a sudden the game just comes up with a grey screen and kicks me out. At level approx 560. Nothing I do will get it to play again. Developers??
  11. [R11] Water Sort Puzzle 4/5 · US Crashes constantly: It’s fun but please fix the crashing!
  12. [R31] Water Sort Puzzle 1/5 · US Paid for Ad-Free,Still Get Ads: Rip-off. You’re going to get ads whether you are conned into paying for the ad-free version or not.
  13. [R47] Water Sort Puzzle 5/5 · GB Obsessed: I paid to remove ads because I love it so much. SUGGESTION- can you add a clue feature?! Sometimes I get stuck and I don’t want an extra vial or to go back a step I just want a NEXT STEP CLUE PLEASE
  14. [R85] Water Sort Puzzle 1/5 · US Paying to remove ads doesn’t remove ads: The water sort puzzles are decent, but I paid to remove ads and there are still ads. After about 3-5 puzzles and ad pops up for a DIFFERENT water sort get game. A game I had already decided not to get because it gathers a LOT of private information from your phone. Once that ad pops up you CANNOT close it and return to the game. The ONLY way to return to
  15. [R90] Water Sort Puzzle 3/5 · US Beware: Dont pay to remove ads or you’ll have to pay 900 coins per bottle to open a new one. At that rate which turned to be just about every single game, you run out of coins and can never get ahead except to buy more coins. They got me twice…. I’m done. Otherwise a good game except the ads after every single game….
  16. [R1] Water Sort Puzzle 1/5 · US Level 191 is too hard: Very little boosters to help and there was an ad with an x button that does nothing but gets me permanently stuck. Some people may need something that can’t be too hard, otherwise, they’ll be frustrated just like me. 🥺
  17. [R46] Water Sort Puzzle 1/5 · US Bad game: It's fine but is physically impossible to make it past level 3
  18. [R51] Magic Sort! 1/5 · US Don’t waste your time: The game is rigged, like all these other types of games. Replay to continue a streak is expensive, coins won are a very low amount in comparison to said price, and levels “randomly” get impossible to clear when on a streak that will get you a decent amount of coins. Also, you will burn through lives trying to beat levels… if you don’t waste a 1/2 hour or more on a level with
  19. [R54] Magic Sort! 2/5 · US Promising, Then Nosedives: The game starts fun and reasonably challenging, pretty fun. Then you’ll come to a screen where the only way to get past it is to pay money. So you uninstall this and get another water color puzzle
  20. [R6] Water Sort Puzzle 3/5 · US Ads not working: The ads are not populating properly. When I try to select to view them for extra credits, I get a message that the ad is not ready. Normally, this message goes away after 30 seconds or a minute, but now the ad is never “ready”. I can’t move on.
  21. [R84] Water Sort Puzzle 3/5 · US Videos: The video won’t load on this game
  22. [R52] Magic Sort! 5/5 · US relaxing game: The game helps to rid of anxiety. Just gives you a moment to mindlessly play a game.
  23. [R58] Magic Sort! 5/5 · US Actually pretty cool: Thought it was one of those games that would have constant ads everywhere you looked but so far I’m at level 35 and haven’t seen a single ad. The game itself is pretty cool too, you can definitely enter a flow once you start processing the levels. Good for brain stimulation
  24. [R59] Magic Sort! 3/5 · US ‘Wins’: The ‘prizes’ (magic hat etc… ) almost always only give you more time… unlimited play for 10 minutes is not useful when you really need points or tools to get through some levels.
  25. [R61] Magic Sort! 5/5 · US Good wholesome fun: You have to pay for the no ads or your playing experience will not be so much fun. That being said after no ads I 100 percent hooked!
  26. [R8] Water Sort Puzzle 5/5 · US Amazing game: I love it so much very good quality
  27. [R20] Water Sort Puzzle 5/5 · US I LOVE THIS Game SO MUCH!: CAN YOU MAKE A SECOND ONE PLEAS.
  28. [R26] Water Sort Puzzle 5/5 · US Rudimentary but Gets Harder: Love these puzzles that make you think a couple steps ahead. They’re great for Seniors in need of help with cognitive functions.
  29. [R29] Water Sort Puzzle 5/5 · US Relaxinggg: Thank you so much for getting rid of the timer!! I play this game as a relaxing game - the timer was not it for me. Love this game though!
  30. [R93] Water Match®- ASMR Water Sort 1/5 · US After ad removal, they scam you: Once you pay to remove ads, you can no longer progress without spending more $. Still required to watch ads to spin wheel. Must purchase extra jars for 900 instead of just clicking them ad free. Complete SCAM.
  31. [R94] Water Match®- ASMR Water Sort 5/5 · US Too many ads: Toooooo maneeee addddds
  32. [R95] Water Match®- ASMR Water Sort 3/5 · US No ads option ruined the game: I liked the game and then paid for no ads. Now I can no longer watch an ad to get an empty bottle. It wants me to pay and I’m stuck on a level. I can’t get out of the current level without spending more money. I regret paying to remove ads.
  33. [R96] Water Match®- ASMR Water Sort 1/5 · US Moco’s fortune: It freezes up. You don’t get the rewards. It just resets after you close the app. You have to close the app because it freezes after you spin. Shame that it’s broken app
  34. [R107] Water Sort! 2/5 · US Coins: What are they for????
  35. [R108] Water Sort! 5/5 · US Water Sort: I love this game! You should absolutely play Water Sort! Download it now!
  36. [R109] Water Sort! 3/5 · US Solid game but needs upgrading: I really enjoy the game play and I find the puzzles relaxing. However the game speed is a little slow with having an add after every level and only earning 1 gem per level, making it incredibly difficult to get through the secondary puzzle. Decent game but could use some improvements.
  37. [R110] Water Sort! 1/5 · US Sencillo: Porque tiene muchos anuncios
  38. [R16] Water Sort Puzzle 1/5 · US WAY too many ads..: You get a 30s ad after every level. It’s extremely annoying, especially if you’re going through the levels quickly.
  39. [R43] Water Sort Puzzle 1/5 · US Ads way to long: DELETED THIS APP BECAUSE OF THE TEN MINUTE ADS TO GET EXTRAS. Don’t pay to remove ads because they’re still there and they are all at least one minute long. That’s not an ad, that’s a commercial. It’s not the game that runs down your battery it’s the commercials. I enjoy the game but the ads are way too long, complete overkill. No one wants to wait that long to continue their
