  1. [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. 🥺
  2. [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.
  3. [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.
  4. [R8] Water Sort Puzzle 5/5 · US Amazing game: I love it so much very good quality
  5. [R3] Water Sort Puzzle 3/5 · US Too many ads: Way too many ads
  6. [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.
  7. [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.
  8. [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??
  9. [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!
  10. [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.
  11. [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.
  12. [R23] Water Sort Puzzle 5/5 · US New Update Visuals Suck: Please revert to the original display of the simple tubes. The new version is designed with a glare on the glass which makes it more difficult to see the color variations depending on how much light is hitting your screen. Big fan of the game otherwise. Perfect for my adhd brain when I’m zoning out.
  13. [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
  14. [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.
  15. [R47] Water Sort Puzzle 4/5 · US Level 6,000: I see water sort tubes behind my eyelids everytime I close them. I've been playing for years. It was worth the 1.99 purchase to remove ads, but it took me longer than I'd like to admit to do that. This game has probably made a couple grand in ad revenue off of me alone. I just reached level 6,000. Some levels feel impossible and I end up watching an ad for that extra tube. I'm a patie
  16. [R73] Water Sort! 1/5 · US Inappropriate Ads: A ton of long ads and “adult” content
  17. [R100] Water Sort! 1/5 · US ABUSE: I will never download this game again. Just the advertisements alone for it are disgusting. A child being drug out from under the bed and literally kicked out into the street. That’s child abuse along with the abuse of a woman?! The creators may find that cute and funny, but anyone in their right mind should find it sickening. Don’t know where these creators are from, but in the USA those
  18. [R109] Water Sort! 1/5 · US Sad: Why do you have to promote your game with child abuse? I am so sick of seeing mom’s and kids being on the streets to advertise a game that does nothing to actually help these people.
  19. [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.
