Pick Ball Sort Puzzle if

You are looking for a ball sort game with a vast number of levels and a generally stable gameplay experience, and you are willing to tolerate or find workarounds for frequent and long ads, or you plan to purchase the ad-free option despite mixed reviews on its effectiveness for all ad types R2R8R17.

Pick Ball Sort if

You are looking for a very simple, casual ball sort game and are not concerned with long-term progress or frequent updates, as the game has critical issues with resetting progress .

Evidence note: Both apps have a significant amount of negative feedback related to ads, but Ball Sort Puzzle has a larger volume of reviews, offering more detailed insights into specific ad issues and feature requests. Ball Sort's primary critical flaw of progress loss on updates is a dealbreaker for many, making its overall user experience significantly worse despite similar ad complaints. The free-vs-paid asymmetry is evident in both, as many negative reviews stem from free-tier ad friction, but even paid users of App A report continued ad issues.

  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. [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.
  3. [R17] Ball Sort Puzzle 5/5 · US Wonderful: I am on level 23,280
  4. [R22] Ball Sort Puzzle 1/5 · US Question mark levels: Question mark levels ruin the enjoyment of the game. They come up far too frequently and for the most part is just purely guessing. Not strategic, not fun. Pass.
  5. [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.
  6. [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
  7. [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.
  8. [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
  9. [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.
  10. [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
  11. [R6] Ball Sort Puzzle 3/5 · US Stopped playing videos: Can’t get videos to play for extra columns or more backspace
  12. [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.
  13. [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.
  14. [R16] Ball Sort Puzzle 1/5 · US App frozen: A Vivint ad has frozen the game for two days. Please fix these ads.
  15. [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.
  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. [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
  18. [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
  19. [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
  20. [R63] Ball Sort 3/5 · US No sign in: I have been playing this game about a year on my other phone and when I downloaded all my apps, I had to start all over again
  21. [R76] Ball Sort 1/5 · US Ball sort: Don’t like to update app every few games and have to delete app after level or new apps introduce while paying
