The monetization strategy of this game has been widely criticized for its excessive and intrusive ad placements, with many players reporting that they spend more time watching ads than actually playing. While there is an option to pay for an ad-free experience, users have noted that even after purchasing this feature, ads still appear frequently, leading to frustration and dissatisfaction. Overall, the aggressive monetization approach detracts significantly from the gameplay experience, making it feel more like an ad-watching simulator than a fun game.
“I purchased the no ads option last year, but they have showed back up this month and now it has fine print at the bottom saying only 30 days for almost $10.”
“You can purchase 'no ads', but all it does is get rid of forced video ads, and only for 30 days, nonetheless.”
“Even though I do love this game, the fact that I can't purchase the no ads feature because it says my payment is declined no matter what payment option I choose really puts it off for me.”
“It's a fun game if you like getting constantly harassed by ads.”
“The game is fun, but then the ads... ads to open a slot, ad 'breaks' every 30 seconds, ads at the bottom of the screen, just ads on top of ads.”
“I paid for the ad-free version, but it's actually impossible to complete the game without watching ads to get more space.”

The gameplay is generally enjoyable and offers moments of challenge, but it is heavily marred by an overwhelming number of ads that disrupt the experience. Many players find the constant interruptions frustrating, leading to a perception that the game prioritizes ad revenue over actual gameplay. While some appreciate the mechanics and find the game fun, the excessive ads often overshadow the gameplay, making it difficult to engage for extended periods.
“It's fun, challenging, and continuous gameplay with no ads.”
“The gameplay past a certain point is seamless and endless, but without challenges.”
“The best part is you get rewarded when you have to watch an ad; best mechanic ever!”
“Because as you get more types of coins you invariably make mistakes and have to shuffle, which takes an ad. This wouldn't be a problem if a shuffle algorithm actually existed and made sure the resulting reset puzzle was possible to complete. The only times it is are by accident, so after like 3 hours of gameplay, I uninstalled because it became unplayable even in airplane mode where ads can't happen.”
“The main gameplay is just endless sorting unless you get stuck and restart, which became boring quickly.”
“But the recent update means 'ad breaks' every few seconds of actual gameplay time, literally more time watching ads than playing.”

The stability of the game is heavily criticized, with numerous users reporting frequent freezes, crashes, and glitches, particularly related to ad interruptions.

While some users noted temporary improvements, the persistent issues with stability remain a significant concern.
“Glitches are really frustrating and no response from support.”
“This game is horrible; there's no way that the other reviews are real. I can't even play the game; it freezes in the middle of the intro on how to play it.”
“I would have given it four or five stars if it wasn't for the fact that every time I get on it, the game freezes and crashes. It would be nice to actually find a coin sorting game that isn't complete BS after downloading it, especially since the advertisements are constantly popping up.”
