### 4/5 — Glitch with the special level

*2025-07-27, version 0.10.0*

It’s a great game to keep me entertained, but there’s a glitch with the “you are awesome” special level, where after completing the first segment of it (the word “you”) where it crashes, so I can’t beat it, and it’s now preventing me from proceeding in the regular levels by making repeat level 59 over and over again. I’m going to try the uninstall trick to see if it fixes it, but you guys should seriously do something to fix it, because it’s really annoying either way.

### 2/5 — Won't let me progress

*2025-07-25, version 0.10.0*

I have passed level 281 a hundred times but it still won’t let me get to the next level. It’s also not updating any of the special levels so it’s pretty useless playing it. I enjoyed it before this happened.

### 2/5 — Can’t unlock level 282

*2025-07-25, version 0.10.0*

I’ve completed Level 281 with three stars, but 282 will not unlock. How do I move forward? I updated the app today - still no way to advance. Love the game otherwise.

### 3/5 — Good game but only 121 levels

*2025-07-18, version 0.9.20*

It’s a decent time killer game; simple but engaging. There’s only 121 levels though and it’s showing no signs of changing…

### 2/5 — Level 281?

*2025-07-16, version 0.9.20*

As others say, stuck at level 281, but I reinstalled, started over and made it to level 300-something. Closed game, and when I opened it a day later I’m back at level 281 and stuck. 

Also at some point. Had a PVP option. Had some fun, was in a ?timed tournament? I placed 1st, but then that was frozen. That’s the last time I reinstalled. PVP is gone. 

It’s still fun to play, so I will reinstall to get levels restarted. The filling up between levels is slow and annoying.  

Hope it gets better, but I have started trying other similar sorters, maybe I will find something better.

### 4/5 — Love this game

*2025-07-13, version 0.9.20*

I love this game, however I’m stuck on 281 and have completed it many times however it just keeps on looping back.

### 2/5 — Keeps crashing

*2025-07-03, version 0.9.20*

Level 127 keeps crashing

### 3/5 — Good game until .  .  .

*2025-07-01, version 0.9.20*

They did an update 4 days ago, and now I can’t move on past level 281. In addition to that, no extra pieces are being loaded to the “special levels” after each level it just plays an ad (which I figured, that’s normal) but normally they would also load in the extra pieces for you to build the “special levels” and ever since this last update that doesn’t happen anymore. So that, and the fact that even after I pass level 281 and it shows I passed and collect my coin it takes m back to main screen and the “next” level is still level 281. The same level I just passed.

### 2/5 — Now Crashes

*2025-06-26*

Loved this game! But now it just crashes and won’t even open 😢

### 4/5 — 281

*2025-06-25, version 0.9.18*

Level 281 is stuck on a loop no matter how many times you reach top 10 percent.

### 3/5 — Loved this game until today

*2025-06-24, version 0.9.18*

I was loving this game until today, when I tried several times to open it. It supposedly loaded, then it crashed. I even rebooted my iPad, because sometimes that works, but it didn’t. Guess I’ll have to go find a copycat app!

### 2/5 — Crash

*2025-06-17, version 0.9.18*

Would be fun but game keeps crashing at open. Reinstalled 3 times and still nothing.

### 4/5 — Can’t play

*2025-06-16, version 0.9.18*

I love the game, but I can’t get it to load on my iPad.  I have removed the app from my iPad, shut down the iPad, re-installed app.  Nothing works.  Also hate the saws.

### 3/5 — 開かない

*2025-06-15, version 0.9.18*

アプデしたら、開かなくなりました。楽しん
でしていたのに残念です。

### 1/5 — Sneaky cheaters

*2026-02-12, version 0.10.0*

I started playing and although very simple, somehow it was entertaining. Then while playing along the game ended saying I failed.   I did not fail. I did nothing wrong. Then thought maybe there was a timer I missed. Nope no timer. So I started over. Again I failed. No explanation. Started again and this time studied the screen very closely before I started. And yep at the top of screen r these teeny tiny unexplained number. So I clicked on one people to move it to the right color. And sure enough the number dropped by 1. Repeated action and it again dropped by 1 number. So there is a counter on this game and they try to get u hooked before u realize it. In my world, they r cheaters. They r sneaky and R not good people. So I deleted the game. Added there company name to my NO-NO LIST OF DEVELOPERS I REFUSE TO SPEND MY $2,000 a month allowance on. Just take note. SHAME SAME SHAME ON THEM.

### 1/5 — .

*2025-08-10, version 0.10.0*

Игра вечно вылетает

### 1/5 — Вылет

*2025-07-22, version 0.10.0*

Игра ВЫЛЕТАЕТ после одного нажатия на экран!!!!

### 1/5 — I Do Like The Game

*2025-07-12, version 0.9.20*

I have downloaded this game Twice. The first time I got over level 400+ and then the game would not open for me. Every time I tried to open it, it would show the Home Screen and then kick me out to my phone screen. So I uninstalled it and reinstalled it. Now I’m on level 281, and I can’t go any further. This is so frustrating! If I have to uninstall it again, I will not be reinstalling it. Y’all need to do better!!!!!

### 1/5 — Сломалось

*2025-06-14, version 0.9.18*

На айфон 11 про макс, игра стала вылетать после обновления

### 1/5 — カッターまじでちゃんと機能して？

*2025-06-06, version 0.9.6*

Lv59のカッター敏感すぎて、動いてないのに勝手に切られる。それがもうずっと続いてて一生クリアできない。せっかくゲーム自体は面白いのにここから一生進めてない。めちゃくちゃゆっくりやってて、完全に止まってるのになぜ切られる判定？カッターもう少し緩くしてください。

### 1/5 — 不具合報告です。

*2025-05-29, version 0.9.6*

レベル59で動いてもいないのに動いている判定されカッターで切られてしまう。
何度もこの経験があり、全くクリアできない。
（追記）レベル59は何とかクリア出来たが、レベル92でも同様の仕様になってた…
動いてないのに動いた認定やめて欲しい

### 1/5 — Fun till certain level

*2025-05-26, version 0.9.6*

Playing the game is fun. One of the best sort games I have found. However I am on level 44 and the saw cuts one of the people before I can do anything. So I immediately lose the level before I can even make the first move

### 1/5 — Level 125 is impossible

*2025-05-22*

Level 125 is impossible and not in a fun way

### 5/5 — Question

*2025-09-02, version 0.10.0*

I love this game, but when are there going to be new levels?

### 5/5 — Any more levels coming?

*2025-08-31, version 0.10.0*

Loved this game until I got stopped at 281. Even went back and finished all levels with 3 stars while waiting for an update with more levels.

### 5/5 — Loving it again after “Now Crashes”

*2025-06-30, version 0.9.20*

Edit: Thank you for fixing!! Back to loving it

Loved this game! But now it just crashes and won’t even open 😢

### 5/5 — Level 282

*2025-06-21, version 0.9.18*

I love this game but is there no level 282?

### 5/5 — Bug fixes please!

*2025-06-16, version 0.9.18*

This game is great, but the most recent update has left the game unplayable.

### 5/5 — Level 125

*2025-06-15, version 0.9.18*

Edit: Thank you for fixing this issue! 🤩

Same feedback as everyone else, how are you supposed to get past the levels where the saw is too close to an island? Level 125 is completely impossible. Please fix! I love this game otherwise.

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2025-06-15*

I’m so excited to play this game again!!!! Thanks for fixing the buzz saw problems. I’m looking forward to so many more levels 😊

### 5/5 — アプデでアプリ開けなくなっちゃったから早く直して涙

*2025-06-14, version 0.9.18*

みんなカッターがどうとか言ってるけどカッターって何？？？そんなアイテムあるっけ？別のゲームの話してる？？？😂笑
そんなことより気がついたらアプリ開いてて、内容はもうステージの限界越えたらしく同じステージの繰り返しなんですけど、それでも楽しくて気づいたら1200ステージ越えちゃうくらいにはめちゃくちゃハマってます！
ただ、今日アプリ開こうとしたらゲーム始まらずに落ちるようになっちゃってて、昨日のアプデのせいかな？早く直してほしいです！！！

### 5/5 — Cannot pass level 125

*2025-06-13, version 0.9.18*

No matter what is done the blade touches a peg on the second island from the bottom and the level is over

### 5/5 — Good game

*2025-06-02, version 0.9.6*

Good game but there’s a bug so you can’t complete level 65 please fix
