Anyone else have this problem?
Thu Nov 25 2021 letmebeanonymousforgodssakeI enjoy this game; I like that there’s no timer or penalization for using the extra tube and it doesn’t matter how many moves it takes to complete a level, so it’s very relaxing in that way. It is kind of addictive though. There are WAY too many ads, so I kill the app after each level and this game drains my battery like crazy. Here’s my big problem with it that I want to know if anyone experiences: it gives me headaches! I have to be VERY careful about how long I play, how long I look at the screen before I have to look away for a while because otherwise, I get nasty headaches behind my eyes. I’ve been “experimenting” with this and, while this can happen regardless of what I’m doing on my phone, it happens so much faster and so much worse when playing this game (maybe 20 minutes of this game vs hours doing anything else). This has never happened to me before! I don’t know if this can be fixed, but if it can’t, I’ll have to find a version that doesn’t do this to me or else give it up altogether. As fun as it is, it’s not worth physical pain.
Good game, wish a problem.
Sun Aug 06 2023 blackfist999I love this game. Now just for clarity(so the app store can’t use this review for other apps.) the game this review is for is called: Color Sort in your game library but, Ball Sort Color Water Puzzle, in the app store. Way too many ad’s in game. Thankfully it’s only $2.99 to eliminate ads. But unfortunately that only removes some of the ads, I’ll admit it’s way less ads but ad free should be literally ad free. I’m not impressed. But this is hardly the first app I’ve encountered that does this. The only app I know of where ad free really is 0 ads is idle miner tycoon. Great game, but constant offers of things to buy in game. Now back to the current topic; Other than that one major problem the app would be 5 stars.
Nabroc is my name backwards. It’s a name from The LORD Jesus’s teachings. I hope that tidbit eliminates any thoughts that I’m a bot. Sorry it doesn’t flow at all.
The ads…
Thu Jun 23 2022 Matt the gcilI liked this game, it was fun, I loved no limit on moves and it was just nice overall. I’m pretty used to ads cause most app games have them so that wasn’t the biggest deal. However, I find the ads to be fatphobic and horrible promoting a fat burning gummy to lose 50-70lbs in three days, which is INCREDIBLY harmful. I’ve googled the gummy’s and to no surprise it’s a scam. Not only these horrible diet ads I keep getting but there are way more ads to this game than any other app I have. They’re way too long as well and when you try to close them the screen to add them keeps popping up. Again, I get they need ads but this many is over the top. It’s annoying and makes me not want to play this game or any of the games they have ads for. The game also glitches and freezes after a certain amount of levels. I almost paid for no ads but glad I didn’t after reading these reviews since it doesn’t get rid of them. This game, especially for a neurodivergent person like myself, is super nice and calming.
Don’t
Thu Jan 04 2024 notyourbusiness67You have to watch an ad to do anything in the app, they also purposely make it to where you will need extra spots so you have to watch ads whether you buy no ads or not. And once you’ve been playing this game for a couple days, the ads start glitching out and won’t play and you have to close the app entirely. The app also drains your battery like crazy, your phone will be at 70% and then 20 minutes later be at 25%. It also overheats your phone causing the app to lag even if you’ve only been on it for 10 minutes. The developer will not respond to you or try to help you as other reviews have said, because they don’t care. The ads are what makes them money so they’re not gonna fix the main issue no matter how many people complain. You’re better off finding a different sorting game and leaving this one alone, there’s a reason it’s not 5 stars and I’m willing to bet any reviews that are higher than 3 stars are either people getting paid or fake reviews, usually ratings with no review attached as well. Just don’t.
Enjoyable Game But Uninstalling
Sat Aug 27 2022 Granny’s ColorsPlaying the Ball Sort Water Puzzle game was a pleasure to play. I enjoyed the puzzles, the colors, and the surprising challenge of a game seemingly so easy to pickup. The frustrating aspects of this game have finally rendered this game virtually unplayable. No soundtrack, cheap sound effects, and lacking in thematic elements defuses the entertainment potential for the game. The advertisement engine is broken; most often felt with the Gardenscapes family of advertisements. A two to three minute delay in watching unwanted content. The static interstitial banners capture the player in a circle of clicking, what is usually, the close button sending her back and forth between Ad and AppStore. When finally able to return to the game my frustration leads me to close the game rather than playing on.

Mon Jun 05 2023 Temp ReviewerThe game is fine, the ads are the worst I've ever seen, even if you purchase no ads. That only exempts you from the initial ads. To get an extra tube - essential on most levels - you have to, you guessed it. Watch more ads. If you need the space for an extra ball in the extra tube, you have to watch more ads. They are hideous ads, too. No opt out after 30 seconds. For most you can't walk away and remove them when you get back, as they have stages that require input before the ad moves on, sometimes for three or more stages. And if you have already purchased and installed something for which there's an ad, the app is too stupid to know it, and will continue to slam you with the ad regardless. Twice I asked the developer for assistance, never got a reply. They have no interest in helping. I'd have given less than one star if that was possible. It's the most ad-choked app I've ever seen. No way around it.
Ads won’t close!
Fri Nov 12 2021 cd1229I paid for no ads, but still get ads when I want an extra “test tube” to drop balls in. I get that, but some of the ads Will Not Close! So I must close and reopen the app, to get rid of the ad. The stupid fish game ad is one of them, and some item sorting ad, to name a couple, and it’s gone on for more than a few weeks now. After watching the ad, there is no X to close the ad, I get an arrow, or the option of clicking done, but these still don’t close the ad. Please fix this! Still having same problem. The dang ad with the pac-man looking thing crashes game and ad wont close. Sometimes I try to get an extra tube by watching an ad, but the ads won’t always open either. I get fed up with it and just quit.
Don’t buy
Tue Feb 07 2023 tobesawdI paid for the no ads option which reduced the ads to a manageable level. Recently I have started receiving many more ads again. For instance, I no longer get five rewinds before getting an ad. Now I get them as soon as I try to go back a step.
The ads are too frequent, interminably long, are for products I will never buy but are repeated over and over and over and over again, and include the delightful features of mute buttons that don’t work, or no mute buttons are all. (Looking at you, Gardenscapes.) I PAID for no ads and have an apple receipt to prove it and I want my money back but according to apple support at the “Report a problem” link I have no purchases associated with this game. The app support link goes to @&$”$?! Facebook which I don’t and won’t use. This whole situation is infuriating and has ruined this game for me which I previously enjoyed very much.
