It froze my phone for 40 minutes and I had to put it in the freezer to restart it
Money grab
It’s fun for a while, but there’s a nagging never ending habit of the deal making it so that every single coin doesn’t have a match, then it builds in intensity. At a certain point, you can’t possibly win a level with skill alone. Half the time I’ll have figured out how to make it work and it’ll stop and show the pop-up saying no more moves (when there were visible solitons) and force a restart. It’s not worth it. Then, if you have coins, it won’t let you restart until you’ve spent the coins. Even if there’s no real solution and restarting would be better. The user should control the end game/restart not the game.
June 2026 Update, the cpu need for the game has been upped so much that it crashes and stays crashed even through rebooting. It’s basically unplayable now.

The most ads I’ve ever seen in a game!
A challenging game, not because of the coin sorting, but because after every single play, there’s an advertisement. And when you popped in for an advertisement, there’s an advertisement after you play your game. You don’t get any bonus for getting swords correctly by avoiding the ads… They’re horrible.
Галимое обновление
Мне очень нравилась эта игра, но как только изменили дизайн монеток игра стала выглядеть очень не презентабельно. Даже играть в неё не хочется.
terrible, boooooooo
how are you gonna have a game like this but no free ways to pass levels i’m stuck on this level and have no way to solve it because everything costs money. like have an option to watch an add to rent that one space or watch an ad to get a free shuffle or something. this game dumb asf and no one is gonna pay to just pass a stupid level. do better
Used to be good and simple
Oh great. Another game that I enjoyed that is now overstimulating and constantly pinging you with unnecessary garbage. I LOVED this game. Played it every night to unwind and relax. Now it’s just another game like all the others. Deleted immediately.
Encrappification
You had a really decent app, but then you ruined it by changing the entire aesthetic of the game. The new look is awful. You didn’t HAVE to change anything. Maybe I’m just bad at the higher levels, but I was waiting to get free coins every day so I could solve levels. I DON’T WANT to have to buy coins so I can solve levels. That’s stupid. Nobody wants to waste their money on in-game purchases!
New update is awful
I never write reviews, but this new update is terrible. I loved the game because it was simple and didn’t have stupid, pointless additions? Why are the games leveled? Why is the board harder to read? Why are there raccoons? This is the worst update I’ve ever seen. It broke this game.
Game was fun until the update.
Genuinely, what is this? What is with all the challenges and leaderboards? We were all enjoying the game being just a casual, end of the day game. I could handle the ads before but now they’re almost insufferable, and I’m deleting the game because of it, because why am I mid game and have an ad pop up every 3 minutes right in the middle of the screen? Or at the bottom?? Seriously, mobile game developers really know how to ruin a good game. Peace out, coin sort, it was a good run.
The pop up ads from the bottom of the screen are horrible
I loved this game. I had no problem with the ad breaks but now there is an ad banner on the bottom of the screen that just randomly pops up. It’s infuriating because not only does it disrupt my strategy planning but if it pops up right as I’m tapping, it opens the ad. Turn them off!!!!
new update ruined it
i LOVED this game. it was the first and last thing i did every day. it was simple, challenging, and fun. they completely ruined all of it with the latest update. 1, the ads are no longer actual ads, they pop up mid-play and are so hard to avoid. i played for 5 minutes and and accidentally clicked on no less than 20 ads, and was redirected to my search browser EVERY TIME, because they just popped up right as i was clicking on a row of coins. 2, i loved the simplicity of the game. WHY does every simple game need to turn into some intricate “story” type of game?? and finally, 3, the graphics. it’s so much more animated now. NOTHING looks the same. i made it to level 2014, but i will probably be deleting it soon. makes me sad that everyone thinks they need to change everything
Ads
I’ve been completely fine with the ads popping up once you clear a level or you fail a level but I don’t like that the ads are now popping up while I’m playing the game to the point I can’t even sort the coins. It’s incredibly frustrating and annoying.
Lame
Too many ads, pay to play, gets impossible after a certain point.
‘Visual’ update
Yall ruined it, the game was great, now it ugly im deadass deleting it after leaving this review because the new update is so ugly
Update sucks
This game used to so good and so simple now it’s completely ai and looks like a game for 2 year olds. You have no daily sort nor can you compete with others anymore. Not only but the game forces you to lose at times when you click deal and it gives you absolutely no moves forcing you to either quit and lose a life or purchase a revive which used to be 500 and is now 900 coins. The new raccoons add nothing to the game and is turning into a cash grab game. I loved this game and was addicted to it but the force losing and the new dumb AI look is really irritating.
Update
I actually hate this update. I wish it would go back to the way it was before.
Fun, no strategy
Game is fun but unfortunately they made it all luck based and they force you to lose.
Update
The update absolutely sucks. Game used to be enjoyable but now the overall graphics suck, it looks like a completely different game. Have officially started playing it WAY less.
Ruined the game
To refill live it was 500ish coins… now it’s 900 coins.. I used to save my coins and use this app to workout but now it’s 900 which is basically impossible to get coins and play when I want to workout. Change the prizes please!! Then I’ll change my review
AI Sell-out
This game used to be my favorite. The recent updates, however, have broken my heart. It changed from an app with refreshingly simplistic design and great gameplay to an app chock full of AI raccoons in irrelevant situations, pushing you focus on “events” that reoccur so quickly that none of it is worth paying attention to. There’s no added gameplay for these events, not even a story added for these stupid raccoons in apparent peril. The simple yet addicting game I loved is now trying to seem like every other quickly churned out cash-grab game on the market. To make matters worse, they aren’t even paying real artists to make these generic new mascots! Even if someone is “designing” the layouts, the use of generative AI is obvious and sickening. Generative AI only functions by stealing from pieces by true artists and throwing those works into a giant meat grinder that’s poisoning our planet. The disappointment I feel when I now have to click out of multiple pop-ups trying to promote these pointless events promoted by AI raccoons every single time I level up is profound.
Not working
app won’t open, just gives me a privacy policy update and won’t let me click “view policy” or “ok” like the touch screen is dead which sucks bc I loved this game womp womp
Update
This new update is terrible, having to go back to the menu screen every time is a waste of time. You guys had it perfect before. Simple is better
Awful update
Used to be my favorite app, but the new update is awful and so unnecessary
You just ruined this game
I woke up today ready to play my favorite game and it looks like a whole other game. It looks like it’s for 5 year olds. There is no daily sort or calendar to get coins. There is no way on the right hand side to get more coins. The ability to compete with others is gone. I’ll leave it for a couple days to see if you fix it and will certainly delete it if you don’t.
Disappointing new update
I honestly loved coin sort before this new update, I hate the AI of it all, the added home page and animations. The game used to be my favorite game, I in fact got to level 2532 and coin 955. I would play it all the time, now I can barely open the app without feeling pure disappointment. If you also feel disappointed with the new update, I found another coin sort game called 'Pocket Sort: Coin Puzzle' this game is very similar to the original coin sort game before the update, and I will be playing that one and deleting coin sort. Very disappointed!
Changed the entire games
I have been playing this game religiously for over a year (I'm over 1000 levels in). Recently they changed the entire interface and puzzle program. It is now awful to play, levels are completely unwinnable without paying for extras, I'm so disappointed in the game creators.
Updated game is ruined
Was a great game, very simple and not overstimulating. They updated it and now It’s filled with AI slop art and the gameplay is so bad. Unfortunately it’s not worth playing anymore.
Changed in-game currency
How is this app half a gig? What criminal activities are you committing over there?
They changed the in-game currency so that the numbers are larger but you don’t gain as much and it takes more to do anything.
And they placed the spend coins popups so they line up with the quit popups making it a given that you’ll accidentally tap the spend coins popups.
This game became a trash money grab with one update.

Used to be fun
I used to love this game, but it’s awful since the update. It’s a completely different game, and almost unplayable due to ads. It’s out of my rotation and I’ll be uninstalling.
Design sucks now AND MORE EXPENSIVE
Loved this game but this new rework design is awful AND NOW EVERYTHING IN THE GAME IS LIKE 4x MORE EXPENSIVE
👎update
Loved this game AND bought the ad free version. Then enter the trash update… 🙄
Terrible
Constantly gives unsolvable levels!
Was great, awful now
I had just decided to pay for this app to remove ads because I enjoyed the old version so much. The new update with the cartoon characters makes me regret that decision so much. Please make a “classic” version where we can turn all this garbage off and get back to playing the simple game we enjoyed.
Yuck
This was one of my favorite games. This new update with Raccoons is just terrible.
When the app is opened, it opens to a game where you can do nothing. You can click on ONE column but it will not allow the coins to be placed. Then when you try to get to the main menu to see if there is any help offered, you are informed that you will simply lose a life when you leave the game you cannot even play.
It’s annoying now.

Love the game but gay
As soon as u build up coins

Difficult to pass
Makes you spend 900 coins to add an extra space for 60 seconds but it only gives you 20 coins every hour. It used to be that you could watch an ad for the extra space when you needed it, but now it’s just impossible to move forward if you’re stuck.
Change the graphics back..
Hi, I loved this game so much. I was literally level 1562. Why did you change the graphics.. they suck now and make the game less enjoyable. Please change it back.
*Loved it until the update
Loved this game but the new update ruined it! I used to play it all the time & loved the simplicity of it. Used to be a 5 star rating but now I’d give it a 1. My coins used to carry over from 1 completed game to the next, now it doesn’t. I had over 600 coins when I completed one & thought I’ll use my coins on the next game to buy a column. Nope, next game I had less than 100 coins so frustrating. Plus you used to be able to see your coins plus when the bonus coins were available while playing. Not anymore please revert back this version SUCKS!!!!
chat we need to talk
THIS UPDATE SUCKS!!! this was literally my favorite game. i’m not on my phone much but the only game i ever play is coin sort. my highest coin was 1294 and that is how much i played it. the new update is horrible. i dont want to delete because i loved it so much, but i will never play this version. #bringbackoldcoinsort

Use to be 5 starts
Use to be 5 stars but the latest update completely changed the whole app it honestly sucks now
Disappointed
AI slop ruined the game, you never even needed the “main menu” thing you added.
Not a fan of the big change update
Used to love this game. It used to be great and I’d play it whenever I needed something to do for a few minutes but could stop at any point. I was up to around 1060 when this new update came and completely changed the game. It’s now a beat the level game but they tried to keep it an ongoing game with tons of side quests. There comes a point in each batch of 10 where you will lose your hearts for days on end until you get the right sequence to continue which makes those side games pointless and not possible to even win so why try. Regardless, I’m not a fan of those games and will unfortunately be deleting it.
Thank you though for the great old version. It was great while I got to play it.

Its ads with some gameplay
I’m currently stuck in a game loop . Only was to win is to buy coins!!! Also why is don’t to take you to the home screen !! So you’re basically stuck in a game until you win it
Coins
What’s happened to the ability to earn more coins?
New Update Graphics
The updated graphics suck so bad. I’ve been playing this game forever and paid for ad free and now it makes me sick to look at. Can’t play it anymore. Change it back.
Impossible to win sometimes
Hello! I’ve had this game for a few months now and it’s not all that bad. Simple concept, and is a good stress reliever. However, there are times where this game is impossible to win without paying. For instance, I paid over 10 dollars to be able to pass one level, after being stuck for over a week. And it’s not because I couldn’t figure it out, after I sorted everything I could, I would click deal and they wouldn’t give me any coins I could do anything with. Just a dumb money grabbing technique.
Could have been enjoyable
Game itself is cute. Nice graphics. Starts out super easy. Then the levels get better and more complex. Would have liked to keep playing. I have passed level 100 and it’s now become annoying and NOT worth it. The ads pop up everywhere now.
Put it back
I used to love this game. It was very relaxing and unwinding. I’m sorry but I HATE the update and the way the game is now. Get rid of the “levels” and put it back to being an open ended game. Get rid of the AI stuff and get rid of all the rewards. I hate having to click out of so many boxes and I can’t play this anymore. I would have given it 5 stars before 😭
