Water Sort 3D holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shadow Maker has 21 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Water Sort 3D's written reviews are positive against 29% of Shadow Maker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Water Sort 3D ships an update every 2 months, Shadow Maker every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
