- “I paid for no ads.”

The gameplay is generally enjoyable and offers moments of challenge, but it is heavily marred by an overwhelming number of ads that interrupt the experience, often making it feel more like an ad simulator than a game. Players report that the frequent ad breaks disrupt the flow, leading to frustration and boredom, with some even uninstalling the game due to the excessive interruptions. While some users appreciate the gameplay mechanics and find it satisfying, the consensus is that the ad frequency significantly detracts from the overall enjoyment.
- “It's fun, challenging, and continuous gameplay with no ads.”
- “It's a nice, satisfying, and fun game, and the best part is you get rewarded when you have to watch an ad. Best mechanic ever! I never get mad when an ad shows up because I'm getting rewarded for watching it. 11/10.”
- “Bought the ad-free option because the amount of ads was absurd, but I still enjoyed the gameplay.”
- “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.”

- “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.”
