Cake Sort - Color Puzzle Game Reviews

It’s a shame too bc I really think this game is a fun puzzler for passing time/idle play. The ads occur at the end of each run, after each achievement and also every 5 or so moves and range from 5 seconds to 30 seconds ie I played one round that lasted a few minutes and probably watched at least half a dozen ads. Also would like to note that some of the features (the selecting which cakes menu) is rough around the edges as far as intuitive for keeping it locked in place. Idk why lots of games are using this bombardment of ads tactic, maybe they think you can be annoyed into premium. Idk seem counterintuitive if you ask me.

I absolutely love this game BUT the sorting needs some tweaking. For example: I have a plate with 3 cakes on it, 2 matching blue cakes surround that spot, it will not take my cake across the two plates to make a whole cake. It will keep them separate. Please fix this. Otherwise this is a really addicting game and I’ve already bought the No ads bc it is definitely worth it!

I love this game! I cannot stop playing!

I absolutely love this game but the ads are overwhelming! I’m one that understands the need for ads and will gladly wait them out for the games that I play. This game, however, almost seems like you watch ads as much time as you play. I just started playing this games, so only time will tell whether it’s worth it to me to put up with the copious amount of advertising.

I paid twice for the ad removal which includes 2000 coins and other tokens each and didn’t receive any of them, the ads are still there too,but was charged on my Apple Pay. Because I enjoy the game, I would like my 4000 coins and no ads!

This game is fun, but the only thing that may make me delete the game is the frequency and length of ads. I understand that there needs to be payment but it’s hard to really enjoy the game with the constant ads.

I bought the pack that got rid of ads and gave you 2000 coins and tools, it said the purchase failed so I tried to buy it again and it said I already owned it and didn’t give me any of the stuff.

It has a nice concept and I saw ads for it on other games so I downloaded it. However, they give you an ad break like every 2 minutes . If I’m going to get that many ads then I should at least get like coins or power ups for them.

Constant ads and blinking items to take you to ads. Something popped up on my phone I didn’t want after having it on my phone. They tell you they sell you information. Really irritating to play because of all this. I deleted it.

I like the game and I get that free games will have ads, but this one is ridiculous. They pop up literally every 1-3 minutes and the volume is automatically on and LOUD. I’d love to keep playing, but I can’t stand this.

Would get 5 stars but there are too many ads, every 5 moves i make there’s an ad.

The game is really quite fun. It does need some fixing - the way it decides to merge (or not merge) slices is pretty inconsistent sometimes. And it heats up your phone and drains the battery crazy fast.

I enjoy the game, but the in app purchasing option is not working. I am getting charged by Apple, but then CakeSort says “purchase failed”. I tried to reinstall and I’m having the same issue. I’m disputing all transactions through Apple and my bank.

I have the same problem when the sorting won’t work. Please fix. It’s frustrating.

I was enjoying the game, been playing it everyday for the last 3 months the it just randomly deleted all my progress today. Now I’m back at the start after I made it so far.

I really enjoy this game, and find it addicting. However! It's really hard on my iPad. It drains the battery and makes my iPad really hot.

The game itself is great but the amount of ads makes it unplayable.

Game isnt even fun with the wild amount of forced ads throughout gameplay. For a brief moment its bliss then the flipping ads have to start up again. Will not be playing this again

👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🧘🏾‍♀️

They force ads every 60 seconds. Makes the game a hassle to play. It’s decent, but not enjoyable due to the frequency of the ads.

This “game” is just a thinly veiled attempt to subject you to as any ads as humanly possible. You get a *minimum* of 1 ad per 60 seconds and I’m not exaggerating. It’s not optional, like watch the ad to get a boost. You’re just forced to have at least one ad every minute. Sometimes it will just straight up put a pop up ad over your game feed. Also some of them have “options” for you to not watch the ad but whenever you click no thanks it just plays the ad anyway.

The movement and placement system is clunky and doesn’t work well. The graphics are aggressively mid. There’s no reason to play this game unless you want to be mad about having to spend equal amounts of time watching ads as you do playing the actual game.

The game play is fun and I really enjoy playing however it’s nearly every time you complete a cake, it’s every time you lose. It is very nice that they give you 5 coins every ad break however the amount of ads you have to watch, and the same annoying ads over and over is a lot even for one of these “satisfying mobile games.” I plan to just delete it, it was fun for a couple days but the ads are too much, if you’re someone who would be willing to buy the ad free experience it might be worth it. Game is fun and challenging but the game to ad ratio is very disproportionate.

I love CakeSort. It’s my favorite game and my hyper fixation for the last 3 months. My only problems are all the ads like everyone else says, the sorting pattern with the cakes (more cakes could be sorted all together but for some reason the pattern won’t collect from certain plates), and the themes!!!
I love collecting the holiday cakes but it’s been Halloween for too long. I’m not sure if it’s just my app on Halloween mode, but I would love to have it be a christmas update with christmas cakes! The more cake options to collect the better and you can’t go wrong with all the holidays.

I love the concept for this game and it’s also pretty addictive. There are a few issues with bugs and the ads were too much, but it was worth it to pay the few bucks to get rid of them.

There is a feature called “Journey” that says coming soon, and the Halloween event is still showing despite it being December now, I’m disappointed because I was expecting it to update for winter theme cakes. It might be that my game is buggy but I am really hoping that I can access new features soon.

I really LOVE this game BUT I'LL BE DELETING. Way to ads with no way to get around it. I'd pay the adless price of just $2.99 but here's why I won't. They don't care at all about the player, if you go ad free, it looks like you'd still have to watch ads since they don't start levels over. They jump the prices of the gimmicks so high that even when you watch ads for coins, you only get maybe 2. when I watched the video to do an extra mini game, it never let me play it. I watched 3 ads before I realized they jipped me. I've deleted games for less. Sucky gaming company

Have updated still stuck in Halloween mode in December.

Game is fun, paid with adds like most- however game just doesn’t want to update. I’ve checked for updates, and verified they are working, I uninstalled (loosing thousands of coins and progress), and my phone is only a month or so old- so I was surprised that the Halloween event was even on it.

Otherwise it’s a cute sorting game that give me a hit of dopamine when I’m in a slump and feeling sluggish. So all in all great.

I don’t mind ad’s in games just not so many seems like after just a few moves in the game or when you finish a round there are ad’s and a lot of times it’s the same ad’s over and over and why do they have to start with sounds in the ad why can’t it start silent and you have to turn on the sound if you want to hear it I have the sound off on the game why would I want to hear sound from ad’s again to many of the ad’s I do like playing the game and would give it a better review if there was not so many ad’s

Iv played my fair share of games that have adds don’t get me wrong I get it it’s just how these short term games are that don’t aim to be on your phone for long. But man I get a add before I even finish a game I get a add after I decline a add for a reward, I get a add at the end of a match I get a add every 30 seconds I’m watching adds more then I’m playing the game and that’s just absolutely not okay I deleted the game after the first two levels just because of that another unfortunate throw away game had potential 💯

It’s a pretty decent game, easy and nice to play after work but it needs some tweaking. Multiple times the plates have stuck in there place after empty and sometimes the cake pieces won’t match up even though they’re clearly the same. It’s fun but when your tray gets full of empty plates that won’t go away and you lose it’s disappointing.

The game is great, and I love the endless sorting of cakes. Except, I’m stuck watching more ads than playing the game, and there’s no way to get out of it by denying the coins and items with the ads. Also, I didn’t get much of a tutorial, so I don’t know much about the items to aid me in my cake sorting.
If this was a simple no-WIFI game of cake sorting and gaining levels, with the optional ads to gain coins and items, I would totally keep it.

Fun game, issues I have had, to many adds, you will be playing and the an add will pop up, and also some of the adds have malware in them because I’ve been playing the game and my security will alert me that phishing is going on, I don’t even open the adds but with these adds they have on this game you have to click several times on the x and sometimes it will go to the add, I’m thinking of uninstalling because of this issue

It’s a good game. Only thing I would ask to change is daily rewards etc on the home page don’t work so if you wanted me to pay for special items I would expect to have a opportunity to use them but daily rewards the spin board never update. Time does but never gives a gift.

Have to agree too many ads & if you reset the coins you earn are gone which is a little annoying. The board should reset but not the coins. Haven’t bought anything due to the amount of ads(which to me is. The scheme to purchase) I agree with cakes being side by side and NOT making a whole cake.. so 2 stars until you can tweak this.

Love this game but I see we’ve changed over to the Christmas theme and my game still has Halloween! I don’t like that it doesn’t automatically change over. Also I don’t like that I can’t sign in from another device. I have to start completely over.

It adds so much of the two connected cakes that are both vertical and horizontal KNOWING there’s no space!!! and it’s soo much ads. Like ads every second it’s just so annoying like the idea is good it’s the way they carry it out that makes it so pointless.. I honestly hate this game it’s such a huge waste of time and space

Suggestion: play cake sort from lion studio plus yall it’s WAYYY BETTER AND BARELY HAVE AN AD!

To me, there is nothing inappropriate in this game, maybe the ads but I don’t know why the game is 17+? I give it 5 stars because I love this game.

Love the game but the number and length of the ads is nearly unbearable. I paid to remove them but you still have to watch to get the items needed when you get stuck. And the ads are insanely long - up to a minute. I’d love to keep playing and support the development team but the ads just make it nearly impossible.

The game is exactly what you see in the ads, so that's a point. The gameplay is fun and can get challenging if you aren't smart with it.
The ONLY bad part is the EXTREME amount of ads 😐 every 5 moves there's an ad break. Yes, you can skip them but it's still a HUGE inconvenience when you're just trying to relax and play.
But for me the game definitely isn't worth getting the ad-free experience so I'll just live with it. Still going to play the game regardless of the ads 🤷🏻

I love that the game isnt levels its just an ongoing score game. Sometimes it does mess me up though for some reason a single cake slice wont transfer over with the rest. Then ive lost two spaces when the cake should of been done. Thats my only complaint it truly is a fun game.

So I loved this game at the beginning, enough so that I paid for no ads, but the more I play the worse it gets. It seems like once you pay for no ads, they make you watch ads to get stuff that you didn’t have to before. For example, now that I’ve been playing for a while, the bonus rounds, which you unlock by getting points in the main level and used to be free to play, require me to watch an ad to play a level that I earned by playing… The developers reward you for your purchase to stop forced ads by forcing you to watch ads to unlock previously free content. Another thing that’s changed the more I play is the way the cakes move around the board. Oftentimes, when I place a cake, they don’t actually merge all the slices, leaving multiple plates instead of combining them. It’s almost as if they are forcing you to buy the booster tools, which cost a lot more than your coins accumulate. The whole thing is just designed to make you watch more ads (which to be clear I have NO problem doing in general, just not when it’s to play levels that were free to play before I purchased the no ads thing) and spend more money, which is so disappointing because I used to really enjoy the game.

This game has a good balance between fun and challenging, and is a creative take on the usual merge games. It’s also nice that you can play offline. However, like other reviews have mentioned, the amount of ads you receive while playing is ridiculous. I understand the needs to make profits, and I’d happily watch a few ads a day to support the developers, but it gets real annoying when an “ad break” is shoved in your face every 60 seconds. Besides that, to get the free the power-ups, you almost always have to, wait for it, watch another ad video - and even then, sometimes you won’t even receive the items. After 2 days of playing, I think I’m ready to move on from this game, not because it’s boring, but because I just have better things to do with my time than sitting around watching ads.

I really enjoy the game, I play it almost everyday, but I have a few issues. First of all why did I spend money to get rid of ads when I still have to watch ads to spin the prize wheel or win other prizes. I thought I was paying to get rid of all the ads all together. It’s super frustrating. Second I really don’t like how many coins you win when you clear a cake. I feel it could be more and you should receipt bonuses if you clear off more than one cake at a time. It is a fun game but I would like to see some updates.

The is a lot of fun but successful games allow you to get free items to contribute to time you put in to play the game consistently which brings up game time and the reward factor of a game. You can’t get anything for free not even daily log in rewards and you have sit through ads every 10 seconds. It doesn’t feel rewarding at some point it becomes repetitive and boring and frustrating not having the tools to save yourself from losing. Also better explanation of how items work would be nice or some sort of confirmation for using an item as well. I have to memorize what some of the items do or else I’m just using it on the incorrect cake by accident.

I completely agree with the review that states “Needs some adjustment”; that one goes into detail about the tweaking that it needs done perfectly and I didn’t want to type all that out again. I’d just confuse everyone. 😂

But I tried a couple of game apps with this exact game, and so far 47/7 me is my favorite of them all! I’ll my

This game came up to me on an ad, so I gave it a shot. It was October so there was a Halloween Challenge too. It was fun for a month or so but now it’s boring and repetitive. But my biggest issue is the amount of ads that pop up is INSUFFERABLE. You have to watch ads more than you play. They’re also 1 min or 30 secs long! The latest update said that they were reducing ads - they didn’t, they just made SOME of them shorter. Learn from Candy Crush / Toy Blast / Farm Heroes. You need side challenges for users to keep being engaged and collect boosters and coins. And ADS SHOULD BE OPTIONAL. Not while playing the main game! I gave you guys a second chance but I stopped playing yesterday.

Nice game, pretty addicting but there are too many ads. To top it off, there's a bug in the game that doesn't allow my cakes to sort even though they very clearly match. I had four cakes in a row that all had the same colors on them but they would not match together, they just sat. Making four cakes take up four different spaces, when if they would have been sorted, they would have taken up two spaces at most. This is happening more & more frequently. Please fix. /:

Like others, I paid the ad free fee. I expected to be able to play free of ads. But in order to get the boosters that you earned, you have to watch ads. It is an insane amount of ads. I guess that is the price of keeping cost low if you want to make a purchase for more coins or boosters. I guess I would rather give up 90 seconds of my time over and over again rather than pay five dollars for a booster pack.

So addicting and I appreciate how you can earn coins and tools by watching ads but really? 60 and 75 second ads! Geez! Please be kind and limit these ads to 30 seconds or less. When I see longer ads, you lose me because I do something else for a while rather than looking at my phone.

This game is really fun to play, but to mimic many of the other reviews, the amount of ads is unbearable. You can’t play the game without watching ads ever other minute. Whether it be a forced ad, or just to continue with the game, it’s way too much. The ads are also super long. Other games I play have on average 30-second ads. This game has ads that range from 30 seconds to well over a minute. The levels don’t start over, so in order to continue playing, you have to watch multiple ads to get boosters. The boosters also go up in price each round. So you may have to watch like 8 ads just to purchase one booster, which doesn’t necessarily get you any further in the game. I really like the concept of the game, but I’m wasting half my life watching ads. So unfortunately, I may be deleting it.

When you watch the adds to gain additional features, for every three or four adds playing normally, there’s one that just become stuck, the close button never appears, and in the end you’ll have to force shut the whole game. It’s not a big deal if you are just collecting bonus items, but if you are playing a mini game then you loose all progress in that. Quite frustrating

I like the game, but I had to uninstall it after only playing it for a short while because of the constant ads.

Almost every 10 seconds of playing you get a reward if you watch an ad, but if you click “no thanks” it plays an ad anyway. So now I have to watch an ad anyway, but I don’t even get the reward. I tried accepting the reward and it only played one ad. So it was literally useless to click “no thanks.”

And this all happens throughout one run. I got to the end and filled up all the spots and I couldn’t place anymore plates, but the game didn’t end? It just expected me to buy powers to clear the tables or something, but I just wanted to restart with the new cakes I had earned. I found a “reset” button in the settings, but when I clicked it I got a warning that it would reset all my levels too?? Which is definitely not what I wanted to do. So I just uninstalled the game. It was too frustrating.

If ads don’t bother you, go for it. I don’t mind a couple before or after a game, but getting 20 ads throughout a single run through is way too much for me.

I really enjoy this game it’s comforting and easy and it looks like it would be boring but it’s really not. Usually I get to a certain point and I can’t fit anything and then I just restart it but it’s just nice that it’s not working towards anything or not trying to achieve anything you’re just matching things up. My only complaint is that there are just way too many ads. I mean at one point I started the game and two seconds later there was an ad break and then this and then that and then sometimes if I just wanna collect it and not watch anything it’ll make me watch an ad anyways so that’s super frustrating

I love this game but for every 30seconds I play I get to watch an ad for 30-90 seconds. if you pay to remove ads it only removes the banner at the bottom but these annoying ads after every three moves continue. I hope these guys are really rich from all these ads. I for one will never buy any of the games advertised for that very reason. I’m hunting for something similar to replace because I really like it.

I downloaded this game because it seemed like fun, and it probably would be…if the gameplay wasn’t interrupted with constant ads. I even bought the “no ads” option, which is a complete scam since I didn’t see it clarify anywhere before purchase that it ONLY gets rid of the banner at the bottom of the screen! I wouldn’t mind the option to watch ads to earn a boost/coins or restart the level like in other games, but slamming ads in my face every time I progress got old super fast. The levels don’t take long enough to justify having an ad at the end of each one! I hate that I paid $3 and still can’t enjoy this game purely b/c of ads, I would NOT recommend it to anyone 💔

I truly love this game and I have been addicted to it for the past few weeks. my only complaint would be the amount of ads that are needed. I don’t mind watching some ads because that is what is needed to make the game free to the public, but I don’t think that this amount of ads is necessary. other than that though, I love this game and would definitely recommend, you will get hooked fast!!

I really like the game but there are a lot of ads and no way to buy a “no ads” option like other games Also it’s almost impossible to play without buying tool packs and each use of tools is super expensive compared to how many coins earned by completing cakes or levels I have never spent so much money on a free game as much as I like it I’m afraid I’m gonna have to stop playing. This game costs me more than an energy drink a day :( such a shame cuz I really liked it

So, I saw this game and I thought, “hey, this looks fun! But I know from experience to check the reviews of past players, so I know what to expect!” So I did and I saw quite a lot of reviews with people claiming there were too many ads. I thought they were just being dramatic but once I downloaded it, the answer to their cries became clear: the reviews were right. There was an ad after LIKE LITERALLY ALMOST EVERYTHING! And what’s worse, It warns you! It says, “Loading Ads and then the ad comes on! I had barely unlocked the green cake at the beginning when the, like, 4th or 5th ad came on. That was the final straw, so I deleted it without regret. Maybe this game could have been better if it wasn’t just an ad machine scam.

I downloaded this game and immediately loved it. A few days later, I bought a 5.99 bundle that included no ads but to my surprise, you still have to watch ads to collect prizes. I’ve yet to figure out what the point of earning coins is anyway because there’s nothing to buy with them besides different borders and plates. The bundle was 5.99 yet 6.97 was taken from my account by you guys. The game play is very fun, but with all the ads, constant pressure for in-app purchases, and taking questionable amounts of money from said in-app purchases, I can’t give this game a 5 star rating. You guys are money hungry, do better.

Absolutely atrocious. An ad plays every thirty seconds and I’m not being hyperbolic. And they’re long ads too, each one playing for about a minute before you think it’s over, but then another timer pops up and then when you FINALLY think it’s over a THIRD timer pops up. Those most obnoxious of ads where you’re just left staring at the still “download now” image for thirty friggin’ seconds.

Normally I’m willing to pay for ads to be removed from a good game, but unfortunately I don’t know if this game is any fun. I only played for about ten minutes before I was too miserable to continue. And by “played for ten minutes” I mean “played for three minutes and watched seven minutes’-worth of ads”.

I’d say the developers should be ashamed but let’s be honest. This is a low-effort cash grab with no talent or creativity behind it. It’s not a game, it’s just commercials.

There’s no way the 4.7 score is legit
This could be a decent game if they actually gave you pieces you can use and CUT DOWN ON THE ADS!!!! I get that companies have to make money, but there are a lot of free games out there of a much higher quality with not even half the ads.
There’s an ad to collect any bonus, and ad to continue the game, an ad to restart the game, and the stupid freaking AD BREAK anytime you make a good move (clearing a cake - especially two at once). And given there are no levels and they rarely give you the pieces you need, you need to use the power ups a decent amount. Guess what, you have to watch an ad to earn them. Even if you don’t feel like watching an ad and try to restart the game, you have to watch an ad.

Love this game, super fun to play on and off but also super addicting and i can play for way longer than i should 🤣

i like how getting highscores lead to different cake unlocks but i wish we had options or could choose which cake we are working towards. i work hard towards getting my score high only to unlock a cake i dislike and won’t use :( feels disheartening and more like getting socks for christmas 🤣 like thanks but that’s not the toy car i wanted

in all its a super fun game, love the mini games and puzzle challenge!

What the title says, is my biggest issue. I’ve been waiting to be able to collect day 5 for several days now. I really enjoy the gameplay and the variety of cakes. Was totally worth the $3 to get rid of most of the ads. You still have to watch ads for some extra things, but it’s not focus-breaking like trying to play without the “no-ads” option. I hope that option is kept at 2.99, it’s very reasonable and most other games charge way too much, in which case I usually just delete. I understand developers need to make money but at the same time, it’s refreshing to not feel gouged.

AVOID THIS GAME! it was a mistake buying no ads. They absolutely destroy the game for you since they can't make money off of you anymore. It's even started not fully sorting cake that's clearly next to each other. I brushed it off a few times but it's endless and to a point even if I watch an ad to try and save a game, they'll just not let them fully connect and I'll be "too full" to keep playing 🙄 I'm constantly losing my progress because of glitches like this and it's making it almost impossible to want to keep playing.
Just had to come back to this review, it did it AGAIN. Two games in a row lost to this stupid "glitch" Definitely just uninstalled, plenty of games that do the exact same thing and don't try to f you for buying their items

Everyone complains about the ads with this game… and they’re right! Personally, though, I just turned data off for CakeSort and make sure my WiFi is off each time I play. It sounds tedious, but it’s so worth it. You can’t watch ads to get certain things, but you can still play bonus levels and claim rewards.

The worst part about the game for me is the glitch in not combining cakes?? I’ve lost several games because the computer incorrectly combined 2+ cakes. This is the most frustrating part for me, and I really hope they fix the coding around this issue.

All in all, I wish I had never listened to Brittany. I love her, but I miss the person I was before Cake Sort

It’s difficult to get good at this game when the program purposefully sends you impossible cake combinations that you would never be able to predict, nor resolve. I paid to have an ad free experience, but getting to the next cake is nearly impossible without watching ads to receive aid. It’s really too bad since this is a fun game, but it started to feel like a chore when you need 7,000 points to get to the next level and you keep getting stuck in the 1,000 point range.

Edit: I don’t know why the developer keeps responding to all of the negative comments with the same cut and paste response. It’s not helpful, and it really feels like the developer doesn’t care at all.

If you love watching advertisements this is the game for you! I watched so many advertisements that I almost forgot I was supposed to be playing a game. Even though this game is 12+ you will be shown advertisements that should really only been seen by adults. Considering the amount of time you must spend watching advertisements this game should really be 18+ itself. I deleted this game after watching one too many ads about tentacles and tinder. I would keep this game away from kids. The cake part itself is fun and I would have even considered buying it if I actually had a fair chance to play it. Now I will never know.

The game is really fun, but the amount of ads is distracting. It also seems like the daily reward spin doesn’t update regularly. Many times I’ve open CakeSort greater than 24 hours apart, but it still has an “play ad for reward” button instead of just the spin button. It also seems like they’ve made the bonus round ad-based in order to complete. When I first downloaded the ad about a month ago, I could complete the bonus round without much difficulty. But they’ve made it harder so you can’t finish without watching an ad or spending coins for to use a tool to keep going. All of these ad based games are making mobile gaming much less fun.

Hello, Developers Currently your cake sorting app game is having problems. They are that when I press play the video advertisements won’t begin loading. Because it is buffering. Which is preventing me from playing the other part of your game. It also prevents me from getting the items that can be used to do sorting with. Please fix the bugs in your app game. Because I do enjoy playing your cake sorting game.

Lately, Advertisements of other games apps have been freezing. That causes the screen to go blank and I see a black screen. Then it takes a several hours or minutes for the intro screen to reset itself so that I can resume playing your cake sorting app game.

Please fix the bugs in your app game. Because I do enjoy playing your game app.

**Caution** The play time in the Ad you saw for this game will be the longest uninterrupted time you will ever get after downloading it. The graphics are passable and somehow look better on the Ad. While the game is fun, the amount of mood busting Ads are ridiculous. Ads in the middle of a board, Ads when you lose a boards, Ads after pop up suggestions you decline not to accept because it isn’t clear if you will need to watch an ad, then another add for achieving a 5 coin bonus I never got to what they were even to be used for. Distracting Ad banner blinking just waiting for your hand to slip. No way I was going to trust that $2.99 would remove all of that and this all occurred after 5 minutes on the first board, meaning I clearly not enough time to decide if I like the game that much. Towards what I can only guess is close the end of the 1st board it gets increasingly, wildly difficult but of course so you can play it over again after an ad, and a few suggested boost,all followed by an Ad. I deleted it. I don’t have that kind of time to sit and work for this game’s profit.

I love this little game. Something about organizing just sits right in my brain. There are only two things that bother me. The first is that the summer play days game had a countdown and was almost over and then it reset to 25 days.. I completed that game a while ago but it luckily doesn’t hinder me from getting to the last chest in the Daily Quests so that’s a plus :) The other thing that bothers is me when I get to a chest and there’s only coins in it and sometimes it’s only 60 coins? I think the chests should maybe have at least 2 items in it since they’re harder to get.

Other than these (hopefully small) complaints, I’m obsessed and play nearly every day. I enjoy the option to do speedy time and all the different cake options!

CakeSort genuinely doesn't want you to play it. It wants you to feed money into it, first under the premise that paying to go "ad-free" means you won't have to deal with any ads. This is not true.

Altogether for an "ad-free" experience, you will pay $10. $8 to remove persistent banner ads, another $2 to remove ad-breaks between gameplay. However, there's still ads in the game for literally anything you want to do in CakeSort .

Want to do a daily challenge? Well, don't count on actually playing the game because the challenge is actually to see how many hellish ads you will sit through - sometimes, literally an hours worth of ads - to make 3 moves using tools. Which, in 99% of instances, are required in order to make any actual progress and succeed in the challenge.

To say nothing of the REAL game which is rigged so that, you guessed it, you are eventually boned into either paying for tools you need to complete a THING or watching another hours worth of ads to spin a wheel that will maybe give you 40 coins.

The game could be fun. Could be! But the people behind it, be it the dev's themselves or the corporation that owns this, are greedy pricks and just want your money. Pay to play! And even after you do, pay some more!

Anyway, I hate them, the end

Overall a fun and challenging game. However, I have seen several occasions when the same cakes are on plates that are next to each other, yet they cakes do not merge, despite their being openings on each plate. Not sure why that occurs. Also, when there are multiple directions cakes could merge it seems they merge in the least favorable way for the next moves. Finally double cakes seem to inevitably have the worst cake options for the places where they can be placed. Not sure if these things are done to make the play the most difficult, or whether sone are just programming glitches. In either case, that prevents me from giving the game a 5 star rating.

I wish I had read the reviews first. They were right—this game changes once you download and play a few times. Once you decide the ads every 3 minutes are unbearable and pay for the ad-free version, the game becomes incredibly difficult and changes how they plate and sort the cake slices. It doesn’t even combine plates the same way. They’re trying to get you to pay for the extras and tools to help you raise your score. I never fell into additional purchases beyond the ad-free feature, and the game completely changed. It’s no longer enjoyable but annoying and frustrating. This is just a shameless money grab and I’m deleting and moving on after less than a week. Save yourself time and money and don’t bother. There are so many better sorting games out there that don’t play the games and have ads every 3 minutes.

me before downloading: cute ads, cute description... but the reviews are NOT doing it justice. not excited for all the ads, but i'll try anyways...
me after:

...

yall were overreacting.

yeah, sure, there's a bit of ads, BUT. they're all super short and/or playable, the developers didn't put in the really annoying ones. AND! they give you coins!! they don't just pop up for no reason, they actually help.
"oh! but there's just so many!!"
developers gotta eat too!! it's a free game with very little (and cheap) in app purchases. how else will they make money?
my advice to the developers: DON'T change your marketing strategy!! the ads that brought me to this game were fun and cute, i really enjoyed how they were playable, and the description for the game charmed me all the more. and i REALLY enjoy how there's no stressful time limit or lives!! overall a fun and pretty relaxing game!

The game is a bit addicting but there aren't levels and nothing changes except more cakes get added if you accept. To get anywhere you'd need to use so many coins. I just don't bother and lose progress. The worst part is the ads. They are not just at the end. The stop the game in the middle for ads. If an ad is 60secs. It's that plus a 5-10 second countdown and hitting done, arrow or an X MULTIPLE times before you can actually get away from the ad. I have been playing games for over a decade and I've never run across a game that abuses advertising this badly. I actually stopped in the middle of an ad to do this review. I have to say goodbye to this game. It's too aggravating. I'm looking for relaxing.

DO NOT LISTEN TO GOOD REVIEWS, the ads are not short, these developers are absolute scammers and they know it! HOW TO SKIP ADs: I’m posting this so these scammer developers have to put actual work into their app, hopefully more ppl do this and then they’ll have to actually spend time on their game to prevent this - close the game when an ad pops up and then you open it right back up and you’ve skipped the ad! Once you re open CakeSort , you’re right back where you were in game, when you closed the game/ completely skipping the forced ads every 40 seconds :) get to work devs!! <3

Original: I wish I didn’t waste my time giving this game a chance. The balance of forced very long ads vs game play time… it’s disgusting. I read about the insane amount of ads.. and I thought well.. I’ve played plenty of games with ads.. this game.. is a literal waste of time. You cannot even get into the game, every 40 seconds I get an ad.. I timed it!! AWFUL WASTE OF TIME GAME! you’ll spend more time waiting for ads to end than the developers spent making the game! I hope this helps the next “me” who comes through and thinks well, maybe the ads won’t be that bad. #uninstalled

I loved this game so so much when i first got it. i could play without wifi and i could just sit mindlessly and play… i bought some cakes bc i thought why not.. now my game is near impossible to play. almost none of the cake will merge properly even when there are multiple ways it could. once or twice i could understand but this is getting to the point where 4 cakes side by side aren’t merging fully and literally leaving me with two full halfves on the cakes instead of two full cakes. when the goal is 9000 but after 2000 points your game stops working or they’ve tried to take every coin you’ve earned. the ads are atrocious and so repetitive i actively avoid CakeSort unless i’m off wifi now. do better.

I really do like this game. It tickles the right part of my brain that keeps me coming back. One thing that does irritate me is the frequency/placement of the ads. When I click on a daily reward or something and the option pops up to watch an ad for another reward to just claim what I have…9 times out of 10 when I click on “claim” I get thrown into an ad anyway. My expectation from a user is if I click on claim then I wouldn’t get an ad, especially when I was just offered to watch one for powerups and I declined. It’s frustrating because then it’s like “oh well if I would have known I would have been thrown into an ad anyway then I would have watched it and gotten the extra powerups”. It just feels a little greedy.

I would like this game a lot if not for the fact, I can’t play this game without spending tons of time on ads to use special items to unlock the next cake to unlock(which half the time I don’t even want). Plus not being able to go very high level (specifically stuck at level 19) without using ads to boost you…I wish you had a choice in which cake you wanted to unlock, because half the time I’m spending 5-10 runs to unlock an ugly cake hoping the next one I’ll like… I really hope the developers work on this aspect of the game otherwise a very fun strategy based game which i appreciate in an era of brain dead mobile apps.
