  1. [R2] Ball Sort Puzzle 5/5 · US Great game/weird ads: I very much enjoy this game. It helps me turn my brain off in the face of the troubles and burdens of the world. In the spirit of this, maybe we can find some new ads that don’t involve women and children nearly freezing to death, and kings (even if they’re evil) being murdered by fire breathing dragons. It really harshes my mellow, and really flies in the face of the purpose
  2. [R3] Ball Sort Puzzle 3/5 · US Fun but add more rewards!: I love this game but I have already bought everything from the shop. Please add more stuff.
  3. [R8] Ball Sort Puzzle 5/5 · US Ummm: I like this game! Super relaxing, and it makes you think. Highly addictive and great way to pass time.
  4. [R13] Ball Sort Puzzle 2/5 · US Fun but almost impossible: It’s really fun. My biggest complaint: It’s practically unwinnable beyond a certain point unless you watch ads to get an extra vial. Unfortunately there’s no way to unlock extra vials without ads My other complaint is that there’s no hints or suggested moves
  5. [R5] Ball Sort Puzzle 4/5 · US Extra cup option not working: Enjoy the game when it is working properly. However it seems since your last “fix” the extra cup button is not responding. I see another player states the same issue to you on Apr 2nd, yet nothing has been fixed. Please read your reviews & correct the non-working features in you game. Thank you
  6. [R10] Ball Sort Puzzle 1/5 · US Its not working: You can’t click to get your free gifts or get extra bottles. So getting past level 27 is not possible as it is set up purposely to need an extra bottle.
  7. [R14] Ball Sort Puzzle 4/5 · US Game buttons aren’t responding on either of my devices: On level 1178 I press the extra cup option and it won’t respond. Other game options (backing up; restart; menu…) work perfectly, if you press the extra cup button, it will show you pressing it but just won’t take you to the ad. Same with the 10x reward button if you get 100% on a level. It’ll show you pressed it but it just won’t take you the
  8. [R16] Ball Sort Puzzle 1/5 · US App frozen: A Vivint ad has frozen the game for two days. Please fix these ads.
  9. [R9] Ball Sort Puzzle 3/5 · US Ads go on and on!: I purchased the “no ads package” but still when I want to add a tube, I get ads that go on for many minutes! If there is a way to stop these ads sooner, it’s well hidden. I give up, will hide the app.
  10. [R15] Ball Sort Puzzle 3/5 · US Buyer beware: It’s a fine game, but... I purchased the “no ad” option and that’s not exactly right. If you get stuck, your only option is to click on the video and watch up 3 mins or more before you can carry on. What a waste of time and money.
  11. [R18] Ball Sort Puzzle 3/5 · US No ads means nothing!: Unbelievable! I paid for NO ADS years ago. ADS CONTINUE, and are FAR worse: way more FREQUENT & INCREDIBLY LONG! Company never responds to emails. Really disappointing and shows what they think of customers.
  12. [R26] Ball Sort Puzzle 5/5 · US Fun and free!: I love that this game never asks me to spend real money and that I don’t need to in order to advance. You can get different types of balls, beakers and backgrounds with the coins you earn just from winning levels. I appreciate this game bc it’s enjoyable and it’s not just one of those money grabs
  13. [R4] Ball Sort Puzzle 1/5 · US Ads are too much now: Recent update went from an ad buying one full tube to one as buys one place holder in a single tube, a full ad to buy a second spot in the same tube, and same for third and fourth. So what one ad used to buy, I now need four. I’m deleting the app.
  14. [R7] Ball Sort Puzzle 1/5 · US Rai’s review: I recommend not getting this app because it has adds every time you complete a level I give it a 1/5 it sucks it is terrible
  15. [R12] Ball Sort Puzzle 3/5 · US Ball sort: A really fun game. However, you better like being interrupted in the middle of your game, cause you’re gonna get it. Very very frustrating. Otherwise I would give this game a 10
  16. [R42] Ball Sort Puzzle 3/5 · US Needs a way to use coins for additional tubes: Paying for ad free only takes away the ads mid play. If you want additional tubes if you are stuck then you have to sit through painfully LONG ads. I love the game but don’t play as much as I could because of this. Otherwise I would rate 5 stars.
  17. [R19] Ball Sort Puzzle 1/5 · US Broken :/: I’ve had this game for years and it’s always been a good time waster for me. In the last month or two I have been getting SO MANY broken ads. Like 4/5 ads don’t work. The X to exit them never shows up, or the ad itself never shows up and I can’t close out of them. When I close out of the app it resets my progress in the game and it doesn’t give me whatever I just sat through the ad for.
  18. [R24] Ball Sort Puzzle 3/5 · US Game is awesome ads horrendous: Love the game but the ads are so bad there is no way to close them other than exiting the game and restarting
  19. [R31] Ball Sort Puzzle 1/5 · US Unskipable ads ruin the game: The game itself is great, but unskipable ads from partners like Kalshi ruin the experience. I cannot progress from level to level as there is no way to exit the ads.
  20. [R23] Ball Sort Puzzle 4/5 · US add more things to the shop: my favorite game i’m on level 685 but i wish you would add more things to the shop because i have 15,000 coins that are just building up with nothing to use them on!! do more stuff with your game
  21. [R36] Ball Sort Puzzle 3/5 · US Fun until…: …you want to buy something like an extra container with the coins you’ve earned and you discover there’s literally nothing useful to buy with them. But worse yet is when you have to sit through painful ads to get an extra container. Let me buy a container with my coins!! Honestly, the long, endless, horrible Royal Kingdom ads are what make me quit playing, they’re what prompted this re
  22. [R57] Ball Sort Puzzle 3/5 · US Fun but no use for coins earned: This game is really fun and I’ve played it for a long time. However, you earn coins for each round but there is absolutely no use for them. You can’t use them to buy an extra container- instead you have to sit through a long painful and almost always Homescapes commercial before you get the extra space. You also can’t buy an option to skip a round. The game could i
