  1. [R5] Water Sort Puzzle 5/5 · US Me encanta: Relaxants
  2. [R8] Water Sort Puzzle 5/5 · US Calm & Refreshing:): Relaxing & Stimulating:)
  3. [R9] Water Sort Puzzle 3/5 · US Bad update: This was one of my favorite and most played apps up until the new update. The graphics changed and they got weird to look at so I ended up deleting the game.
  4. [R12] Water Sort Puzzle 3/5 · US Fun Game at first BUT….: This game is really fun at first. I remember playing this game as an ad at first. I craved to play the actual full level so when I downloaded it, I was so excited. The game is fun at first but gets VERY repetitive. They add new elements to the game but then don’t used these elements in harder levels as the game goes on. From level 600 to 700, it’s all the same thing over a
  5. [R1] Water Sort Puzzle 2/5 · US Awful amount of ads.: I’m usually ok with some ads in free games, but this one is way too much. Gets to the point it’s really annoying and frustrating. Every single time you need to restart, or add anything, or when you complete a level. I’m done. Also, the money they want un order to go ad free is way higher than most games I play and have gladly paid for to avoid ads. It’s 4 times higher in
  6. [R3] Water Sort Puzzle 3/5 · US Kick me out while playing to show ads: The game was enjoyable until after every single move, the game kept getting interrupted with an ad for a very similar game. It constantly kept interrupting making it impossible to keep playing. Very frustrating!
  7. [R7] Water Sort Puzzle 1/5 · US Ads too much and expensive: The game it self is fun but after every one game and ad will play and it’ll be at least 30 secs long. And paying for no ads is 19.99 bucks!!! (At least 20 bucks) Usually most will pay about 2.99 but this it’s over priced. I really liked the game but I wish the ads were shorter and not too much of a constant pop-up. And the ‘no ads’ purchase was less expensive. 🙃
  8. [R10] Water Sort Puzzle 1/5 · US Awful: Literally you get ads everytime you complete a lvl it never stops it’s way too much.
  9. [R4] Water Sort Puzzle 2/5 · US Ads cause glitches: Please update to all ads to be used for the free version, however, glitches need to be fixed. I have to SHUTDOWN and close out the app in between every level because even after watching the add or playing the mini game, there’s NO WAY to navigate back to the sorting app.
  10. [R43] Water Sort Puzzle 2/5 · US Pretty Okay…: I do like this game and I’ve been addicted to it. It helps me relax. I’ve also been using it to gain points with Fetch. However, I’ve never had my phone heat up so much from one game! I believe it’s not related to the phone model. Is there a way a way to fix this?
  11. [R51] Water Sort Puzzle 3/5 · GB Lost Progress: I loved this game, and i got rather high in level but it doesn’t save your progress to continue on another device, so i had to start at the beginning again, which sadly made it difficult to get back into. Please create a log in to facebook to save progress for those who change devices so we can continue where we left off.
  12. [R60] Water Sort Puzzle 3/5 · GB Annoying adds: Played for years but noticed an add that doesn’t give you a reward after watching (or not) the bingo add always states “watch the full add to get the reward” I don’t decide what add to watch (or not) ! Very annoying! Sort it!
  13. [R13] Water Sort Puzzle 1/5 · US RIDICULOUS amount of ads: fun game, the amount of ads is sickening. after every single level and more. UNPLAYABLE and to get rid of them it’s like $20
  14. [R19] Water Sort Puzzle 2/5 · US Warning: Very addicting that I ended up paying for $20 for no adds option - mind you first time I ever paid for such a thing. Well it’s a scam!! The ads are still constant! Do NOT purchase that option. You’re still getting ads. Ridiculous. No ads means NO Ads.
  15. [R27] Water Sort Puzzle 3/5 · US Too many Ads!: There are sooo many ads in this app it is ridiculous!!!!!! Oh but I can pay $20 to have them ‘removed’ why would anyone ever do that?! That’s like paying to watch commercials.
  16. [R70] Magic Sort! 1/5 · US there’s ads: there’s ads btw

  20. [R18] Water Sort Puzzle 3/5 · US Not like the New graphics: Not liking the new graphics Harder to play I probably won’t be playing as much Not sure why it was changed Really liked the old game before this recent June 2026 update
  21. [R24] Water Sort Puzzle 3/5 · US Please change the bottles back!!: Please change the shape/style of the bottles back! I have played almost 10K levels but this latest update with the more 3d bottles and sloshing water might make me never play again 😭😭
  22. [R37] Water Sort Puzzle 1/5 · US Making it 3D was awful: Change the format back. This 3D look is atrocious
