Nope
App doesn’t ever load.
Pay to play
They get you hooked in the lower levels then you have to pay by the 3rd round to get anywhere.
This game sucks
This is an ad generated game. Very few boasters but constant ads. You get 5 boasters a day, only 2 are helpful and you’ll need them and then be stuck. Takes forever to reach the next phase. It could be a fun game if it wasn’t so ad oriented.
Don’t buy into it, it sucks!!!
JUST DELETE IT ONCE YOU ARE STUCK….. takes too long to wait for boasters AND to restart just puts you back to where you started from to end up stuck! I deleted it!!! There are much better games to play with less ads that are actually FUN!

Impossible without spending money.
It’s impossible to beat level 120 without spending money. I’ve already paid $12.99 into the game and I won’t be paying a single cent more. I’m deleting this.
Great but Froze
Awesome game up until I reached level 215 99%, game froze, will no longer register my scores so i can move onto 216. So mad!
The Ads are annoying!
The amount of Ads is ridiculous! Can’t enjoy the game, going to delete it for this reason!
Way too many ads
There are way too many ads and the ads are way too long. Sat on an ad for 3 minutes. Finally had to close the app to be able to play again.
used to be nice
I had this game for a while. No ads unless the player decides. I offloaded it for storage, but as soon as i redownloaded it, it’s full of AI slop visuals and i’m getting “ad breaks” every 5 minutes. Total downgrade and waste of my time
Liars lol
Free version of this is unplayable. Constant interruptions (ad breaks between streaks AND ad breaks for powerups) and they sneak ads within tap ranges while you’re flowing (tons of accidental taps), regardless of how well you play. It’s a cheap “pay to win” dev strategy. Trust me…don’t play this. It’s very fun and very addictive but after a certain level you cannot beat it without ads; coin sorting logic literally corners you. Unless you pay don’t play ($6 is worth it maybe…but they’ve annoyed me so much I refuse to justify buying it. I’m bitter lol) . Fun while it lasted but I’m out
Nonstop ads, very monotonous gameplay
This game has a good premise but never evolves into anything more than the same game play over and over. The ads are relentless, buggy and it feels like half of the game is watching mandatory ads. I’m more intrigued in the games being advertised than the game I am playing.
Forced ads even after paying for removal
I paid for “forced ad removal” and instantaneously the levels became impossible to complete without watching as many adds as before. I watched 13 ads just to pass a level then tried to pass the next one without watching ads and it’s impossible. I’ve been on level 196 for 6 days and that’s collecting the free hourly gems.
Tried the game on a different device without paying for “ad removal” and as long as you watch ads, the game is rather easy and I got to level 200 in 2 days.

Waste of time
This could be fun if I could actually move up a level without having to watch a stupid ad to get everything to shuffle. I am sick of not being able to move up in any level - so often when I push ‘deal’, there are no options for sorting the coins that will actually work. It forces you to lose the level. I enjoyed it at first, but this is not worth it anymore.
Suspicions warning
Fun enough to play but the security guards on my device kept warning of possible suspicious activity when I was using the app. Have not had this happen before. Seemed the higher the level I reached the more blocks it was reporting.
Too many ads
I’ve never written a review of a game before now, the number of ads was absolutely horrendous. I started to count how many minutes I could go without one and the maximum was 4 minutes. It’s unplayable to have that many. I would have liked the game and kept playing otherwise. The developers need to figure out if they want players or if they want ad revenue cause they way they have it now is ridiculous.
So many adds!!
Basically click bait type game with adds 2 or 3 times a minute. Nos recommended at all
Forced Game
Just want fetch rewards, takes way to long to make it worth while
Unfinished game app
This game doesn’t have a hint button or an undo button, and every time you retry the level, the exact same order of piled coins show up the time you start resorting them.
An Ad break just for 1 gem?!
Why do I have to watch an Ad to earn 1 gem?! Update it to when the ad is done, we should earn 10,000 gems
You can only get so far before hitting a pay wall
Played 120 levels, eventually got to the point where they set you up to fail. Each time a new “drop” gets used it instantly locks up the game, causing a life to be used, and the only way out is to pay for level ups or in-game currency. Don’t advertise being a free game then end all ways of progression without making a payment. It’s not randomization, it’s a scam. No ways of resetting the board are offered either. Oh yeah, and there are “add breaks” about every 3 minutes. I see many developer responses saying “adds help us continue to develop the game” but you’ve already developed it. Not you’re just trying to squeeze more money out of it. Just leave it alone and stop trying to scam people’s money. I have figured out how to play your game without relying on paywall crutches, and progressed in a matter of hours. Fix this issue or I’m deleting you’re app. You’ll lose the revenue metrics of another customer watching your hundreds of ads.
Edit: also noticed how a level gets to 99% and just stays there for almost the entirely of the actual the level itself. Slimly, DELETED.

Game sucks
Terrible game. Been stuck on level 121 and it won’t give me any possible moves. Tried for a week and even watched 10 adds once just for a chance. Does not work. Immediate uninstall. Terrible game
Game is glitched
Game was fun but now they either changed something or it’s glitched. I have more types of coins than slots so I can basically never beat a level. It’s ridiculous. Please fix the game I enjoyed
Need to pay or watch ads
I just deleted this game. It was fun at first but eventually got too hard to win, no matter how many times I tried! I watched a few ads to continue, but each game required more ads, or money. Too many ads for me! Not worth it!
Was great
New version keeps crashing
Give me your money
The game is just a money grab. I refuse to play games that force you to spend money, in order to continue playing. Before the most recent update it used to give an option to watch an ad to keep playing, now that option is gone. If you want to continue you have to pay money. Not in this economy! No way! I played as a means to challenge and relax my mind. So much for that. I’ll be deleting the game.
To many ads
The game has potential to be enjoyable but it feels like there is a ad every other phase. The phases don’t take to long to finish. I won’t be putting a single dime into this game. I also close it and relaunch every time there is a ad. If they spaced out the ads more it might be worth considering purchasing the ad delete. They also make it hard to earn gems or move assist options when your blocked in and can’t continue. Once I hit level 26 I will be deleting this game just wanted to give it a chance am currently at level 23.
Don’t bother.
Don’t bother with this “game”. You won’t get very far once you lose and run out of “lives” - and it WILL happen, - it becomes unplayable and unwinnable. This game uses save states that it reverts you to and then throws the exact same amount of coins that you can’t match that made you lose in the first place. Oh sure, you can “win”, but you have to use a power up to do so. Yet another desperate money grab that I will NOT participate in. This is shady as hell but not unexpected because all of these apps - and that is what they are, not games - are nothing but cash grabs. Because of that, I will not and cannot respect this one. I’ve since deleted it and I’m seriously thinking about reporting it for a lack of situational awareness because you’re forcing users to buy to win. That kind of garbage shouldn’t be allowed.
Now I’ll wait for some pathetic response from the developer to say some garbage like “we plan on doing this and this and hope you reconsider”. Save your breath. I will never get this app again. Go get some other sucker to buy into your nonsense.
Oh, and your bashing players over the head with incessant ads are quite easy to get around without having to pay for you to remove them. Try another tactic because this one didn’t work. You will never get any money from me and hopefully others figure it out as I did.

Ads
Too many ads
Way too many ads.
Ads kept getting in the way of game play. They couldn’t even just have the ads after you beat a level, and move on. It stopped the current level, and reset said level every time. Just deleted it. Find another better game.
Need work
I had to delete & redownload twice having to start from the beginning each time because the game won’t let me continue. It got stuck at 99% for 3 days. It was fun while it lasted but I will not redownload after this deletion.
Ads, Ads,Ads
This game was a lot of fun at first, but once you get to the upper levels it’s no longer a game of skill it’s a game you can only win if you watch countless ads. 7 minutes out of 10 will be ads.
Good, until….
This is a great game until you get to level 20 or so. There should be ways to watch ads when you get stuck for the help. It’s almost like the game grinds to halt and you have no choice but to close the game and go play so,etching else. Seems every other game has cracked this code but not this one.
The shuffle
It’s annoying that the shuffle icon isn’t there anymore because I have to lose a heart every time I don’t have any space left.
Pocket sort
It won’t go past 119
Too much commercials
It averages about one commercial every 10 moves, just annoying.
The coins fall
I really do love the game but…I have noticed the farther you are in the game the coins fall where there is absolutely no possible way to move without using a “help” feature. They when you restart the fall into the exact same pattern to where it is impossible to progress without help. Wish there was a hint feature
Toooo Many Ads
There is to many ads in this game to enjoy it! Almost impossible to get power ups without watching a ad video or for no reason after a couple rounds they force you to watch a video. The algorithm knows to drop new coins in to the slots to where you have to watch a video to open a bonus slot to make any moves but the time for the slot expires to quick before you’re stuck again! If you could earn a power up every couple levels then it might be a little more fun or give you more options to complete each level without so many videos ads!
Fun game, but the Ad breaks are constant
I’ve never went out of my way to write a review on a game before. But these constant ad breaks in the middle of the game are about to make me crash tf out. I’m not spending 7-8$ for no ads, that’s just crazy. I really enjoy the game but there’s no way I can play this game with an ad break every 2 minutes.
Too much advertising
The higher you go the more advertising and the same advertisement has to play three times in a row before you can leave the ad to go back to the game. You can’t buy a no ads game.
Fun for a while but pay to play
You get so far and the “randomization” of the coin drops do not come out in your favor at all. Kinda ridiculous, was fun while it lasted.
Fun game, Inappropriate Ads
We’ve been enjoying this game for a few weeks, but have started seeing some very inappropriate ads popping up in the app. The material in the ads is R to X rated- certainly not appropriate for a game marketed for ages 4+. We’ll be deleting the game unfortunately.
Adus interuptus
Banner ads are fine, but this game randomly throws an ad in your face while in the middle of a puzzle. No chance of playing a quick one on a break because you will get an ad in your face that eats up your free time and just makes you put the app down and not play at all.
Do you like getting scammed? These reviews are rigged because there’s no way.
This game isn’t as money hungry as others. But. You just wait until you’re high in levels. I literally don’t have anywhere to deal, so I keep running out of lives. I can’t STAND a game that relies on lives anyways. I just want to be able to play a game I like when I’m sitting doing nothing. But god forbid? Anywho! It makes sense when you want your customers to spend money to buy more lives. Money sucking dweebs. If I have enough gems to buy a slot, it WILL not let me win that level, until I use them, so there’s no way to even try to sit on your gems for a while. And, when you’re playing, if u accidentally click to buy a slot you are just out of the $6 you JUST spent. But, again, if people keep making that mistake they’ll keep having to spend money on your apps right. Disgusting. Waste of $50, don’t get sucked in.
