False Advertising
Ads state the game has no timer, but each round has a timer right from the beginning. Blatant false advertising and misleading their target audience.
Edit after developer response:
Thanks for the generic copied and pasted response.
I don’t care if there’s a timer. Most games I play have timers. What I care about is that you are blatantly lying and misleading people with false advertising. But I know you’ll never respond to that criticism.

False Advertising
*Shows an AD specifically saying this is a game for those who HATE TIME LIMITS. Goes on about how there’s no time limits. Then when you download it, you find out there’s a time limit with no way to turn it off. Complete BS. I hate the blatant lying.
Impossible without watching ads to survive
I’m decent at this type of game, and this one is cute like looking etc, but I’m about to delete it. About every 3rd level, you get two levels in a row that are IMPOSSIBLE without many power ups or else about 4 to 5 of the long ads. You can’t win enough power ups for free, so the other option is to buy buy buy power ups. Rotten. I have a couple others like this and they’re very playable.
Agreeing with others
I completely totally brain with some of The other peoples comments that all of a sudden there is no ads and you have to pay for things. I have the app on my phone and it’s updated and that’s where I have to pay but I have the app on my iPad and I refuse to update it because if I update it, then I’ll have to pay. i’ve noticed that the response from the app has been the they i’m planning on discussing this. Stop saying you’re going to discuss it and please FIX IT! This looks to be a favorite game for lots of people and I myself are feeling like I’ve been betrayed! Once again…FIX IT! #changeitback!
Liar
Says it has NO TIMER False!! It has one!
Another update no one asked for
Why do you keep making changes no one asked for? The developers keep showing their disdain for their players by making it harder for those who play well. This used to be my comfort game- I enjoyed it so much that I paid $9.99 for the ad-free experience. At the same time, I didn’t mind watching some ads during the game for the extra boosters & to extend my lifeline. Now they’ve taken that option away and made the game harder so that you’re forced to use up your points & earned boosters to beat a level. Why don’t you listen to your dedicated players and keep the game fun like before?
Constant Ads!!
The ads waste so much of your time. They are constant!
I foolishly paid $9.99 to remove the ads.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The “in-game” ads still take up a larger part of your game time.
If it weren’t for the crazy amount of ads, it is a fun game.
Time to look for another fun game, but with less ads!

Used to Love this Game
I used to love playing this game until an update changed the extra time you get to finish a level by watching an Ad from 60 seconds to 30 seconds. Also the perks from having a winning streak have been reduced. This used to be one of my go to games but now it takes forever to finish a level because of these updates. I won’t be playing as often if at all.
Don’t waste your time or money
Purchased the game, enjoyed playing for awhile. They just recently made the decision to remove the ad options to obtain boosters, reduced the reward amounts and stated it was to make the game more difficult for certain players. I would never have purchased the game if I knew they would pull a stunt like this. Not customer centric. You guys would learn a thing or two from Candy Crush. They know how to increase difficulty and keep the game fun while giving many opportunities for rewards, not reducing them. Very disappointing.
Only way to win is to purchase
I thought this game was better than all the other sorting games. I happily played and moved through levels, only occasionally having to watch an ad. After 800 that changed. At 809 there is no way to pass the level without buying tokens. There is no ad option. Too bad. It will be deleted like all the other ones.
Ruined with new update
I really enjoyed this game until the new updates were put in place. Now I want to delete the app. It’s aggravating that once the time is up so is the game. No more extending your time by watching ads. No more finishing a game ever! It’s a done deal and every time you start it’s a new game from the beginning. I hope that when you all decided to do the updates you all tried it out, which I am sure you didn’t otherwise you would know you can’t get through the game. STOP FIXING WHAT IS NOT BROKEN!!!! You would have gotten a 5 for the original version.
Raised Prices lowered time limits
I have been enjoying this game for so long I’m in level 367.
I buy a lot of tokens. But a few days ago the game raised it prices by 60% and lowered the time limit from 1 min. To 30 seconds.
Used to be 500 tokens = 60 seconds.
Now 800 tokens 30 seconds. I am downloading a different game. Not worth the money and time anymore.

Horrible update
Worst update yet. You made regular levels nearly impossible to pass without running out of time. You took away 1/2 of the free starting boosters. Greedy developers want you to spend cash on boosters so you can pass levels. This used to be a fun, relaxing game. I invested so much time but now I am considering deleting it because it is more stressful and frustrating than fun.
Why the change
I was enjoying playing the game and suddenly it seemed like there was an update and the ads disappeared. That allows you to choose that instead of spending points to continue playing. Please bring back the ads so we can continue to play and not use up our points.! Also, I lost my suitcase full of boosters. I’ve beat at least 20 levels in a row and I’ve only gotten two of the boosters back. My understanding is I should’ve gotten them all back. Why is that?
Greedy
So this game was AWESOME until they got greedy. I used to be able to watch ads to gain power ups and now I have to buy them all the time. Hate the greedy change.
Manipulation
This game is full of manipulation. They won’t let you buy it and make it impossible to beat certain levels without you having to pay money. But it’s not a pay and then you get to play, it’s like we set it up so that you can’t win and then you have to pay five to $10 every game in order to get the tools to win. And they constantly force feed you ads for other games that pretty much do the same. This game is energy siphoning and a waste of you time. So tired of shady companies
Untrue
Here we go again, another game advertised that it has no ads and it most definitely does have ads. Deleted!!
Poor new update
Have played for quite awhile. Liked the game until the new update! 30 sec for 800 coins? No more free rearranging? Before the game starts, adds on how hard the level is? Destroying what used to be a fun game, making it about money!
Too many commercials to win
I play these games a lot. This had me watch 4 commercials and I still couldn’t win. Don’t get this one
Scam
This game begins as an easy relaxing game. Once you get further along, the game doesn't recognize you motions, hoping you will spend money to advance. Don't recommend.
This game is a SCAM
Even if you pay the $10 for no ads, you will quickly get to levels where it is impossible to beat without paying for boosters or extra time. OR you can watch ads for 30 more seconds. I paid the ten bucks and yet I’m having to watch ads every three minutes. Don’t do it. SCAM
Gold Card Sets
What’s the point of having gold cards?! Earn them, right?? Totally impossible. MonopolyGO at least gave the players a fighting chance with their gold stickers. Each game played Sortime shoves 50 pop up adds down your throat, 3 cards max to share daily and then BAM! “gold cards can not be sent”
Challenging BUT
Ads that take far more than 30 seconds to air and the only grant 30 seconds of play time is EXTREMELY annoying and have decreased my play time - when you spend more time watching an ad than you get to play is crazy - i understand why you have ads but at least give the amount of time back that the ad takes - not a way to keep players imo
Too many ads too
Too many ads too many ads too many ads too many ads too many ads too many ads too many ads too many ads too many ads not fun not fun not fun not fun not fun not fun not deleting deleting deleting
No ADS they said?
No ads is actually ADS ! what a joke
LIAR LIAR
Made it all the way to level 9 before the ads started. Downloaded the app because it said no ads. Deleting the app.
Timer?
As soon as I saw the ad for this, I downloaded it. The ad promised that there was no timer. NOTHING BUT LIES. I'm not even gonna play the game. As soon as I saw the timer going, I just took it off of my phone. Do people really not know that when you put out false claims in your ads like that, people will know? I'm not playing your stupid game after that.
Ads
It says no ads, but you get to level six and then you get ads what the heck
Don’t Waste Your Time
The game was fine until every time I moved something an ad popped up!
Glitched
I was enjoying this game, however, you must be prepared for purchases in order to play since it is timed that said it’s fun. A few days ago as I was playing the game glitched. I saw it happen and contacted the game to describe the situation. They responded to me but denied that there was a glitch and would not restore my losses. Stay away from this game. If it glitched once it will do so again.
What happened to this game?!?!
I’ve been playing this game for quite awhile now and the game didn’t really have any ads. After every 30 seconds (if you didn’t clear the shelves- which always takes a few tries), you would wait for 15 seconds if you push the blue button that doubles your coins. I can deal with that NOW it’s full ads every 30 seconds. It takes longer for the ad to finish than it does for you to play 30 seconds of the game. So aggravating. I really love this game but I can’t take the ads anymore and I’m definitely going to delete it. Enough is Enough. It’s so ridiculous about all ads and the same ones over and over and over. I know that I’m talking to the wall, on deaf ears cause nothing will get done to change the ads.
No Ads? False
I downloaded this app because it said no ads and no time limits. Both claims are false. I would be willing to pay for the no ads version but the false advertising will make me delete and move on.
False advertising
Falsely avertised as not having a timer
Less fun
This game was so fun and addictive until recently. I stopped getting all of the suitcase boosts and it now costs more money for less time to extend a level. Why change what was working?
Nope
Timed and too many ads
Not enjoying after new update
It was fun before update. Now it’s harder and has to watch double ads to win a level. (cuz time extend from 1 min now 30 sec)
I regret paying to stop ads
I’ve been playing this game for months and really enjoyed it.
Now all of a sudden their “minute“ long extender turned into 30 seconds and they raise the price of it. They also made it harder to keep certain power-ups.
Before this “update,“ many levels took a LOT of time extensions. Now those have been slashed in half.
I wish I had not paid money to stop ads because I’m forced to watch many more of them now than I did before I paid.

No even worthy
Waste of time, I’m not sure but I remember them at before I downloaded the ad said no time or something like this, but yes have certain time and they don’t give any opportunities right away ask for money, I like challenging but this is annoyed
Hides ads until level 4 -False advertising-
So not only does the game make you go through a tutorial AND use unnecessary boosters they advertise no ads just for you to get through the first 4 levels then boom ad then another ad. They even hide the No Ads purchase button until you get to level 4 then it pops up in the corner. If other apps can advertise games and actually have no no ads why is it so hard for y’all to do too IF you’re going to advertise it?
Not FUN any more 😞
Was fun before the Halloween update. Now no way to play unless you spend tons of money. Took away ads in between game in order to finish level. So disappointing. Welp on to the NEXT!! Level 444 STUCK
Another GD that lies!
I downloaded this game because of a video ad that said NO ADS. In approximately 10 minutes of game time I was forced to watch 4 ads just to progress to the next level. I might have enjoyed the game but I’m so sick of liars.
Used to love this game
You absolutely cannot pass level 929 without spending a ton of money cuz they stop giving you free ads in this level l have already used up over 50 lives and still cannot pass so l finally just deleted the game cuz l refuse to waste money on a game.
Bait and switch
Ad shows a big play board, but I was 37 levels in and it was still the same board from the beginning… VERY BORING and way too easy! Deleted…
App keeps shutting down
It’s a really good game, but now I got to level 13, the App shut downs on me 😭
ads are not accurate
the game is fine but the ads literally lie because they say this game doesn’t have a timer but it still does…
POLL YOUR AUDIENCE
The game is great to play but there are too many “mind games” inside one app smh. The daily challenges are cool but to play the challenges to win the cards and the cards not count towards the total collected is diabolical ex. I played order master and not one of the cards were new because I already have 104 cards and there’s 40 days left to collect cards I guess I start earning new cards when there’s 39 days left smh decrease the time frame on the card collecting, stop playing ads after every level, and bring back the 4 free boosters for winning streaks. Thanks in advance
Frustrated
I love this game! However, I’m up to level 1179 and I have not been able to beat it for 14 days! They’re just isn’t enough time to beat this level. It needs to be at least 8 minutes long to even get past it. But it’s 5 minutes and 30 seconds. I have tried several different scenarios and ways to try to beat it. Still cannot I’m very frustrated.
Too many adds
Fun game but way too many adds! And only way to avoid them is pay $10! Not cool
I never write reviews…
I never write reviews on apps but I need to say I’m so disappointed over this update. 929 levels in and they’ve taken away the option to watch ads to help you out. On top of that if you use coins to get extra time it went from 1 minute down to 30 seconds. Unless its changed back I might have to find something else to play in the meantime.
Impossible after a certain level
The game started off pretty good. I expected it to get more challenging as I progressed, but level 49 is impossible. IMPOSSIBLE. Also, the ads are too much and too long. I’m done.
