Tap the blocks. Pour the sand. Sort it right. Sand Out! is a satisfying puzzle experience where breaking sand blocks sends flowing grains onto a moving conveyor belt. Your goal is simple: manage the flow and sort the sand into the correct containers before the conveyor fills up. Each level begins with colored sand blocks waiting to be broken. Tap them to release the sand, watch it scatter and flow, then guide it into the matching boxes below. But be careful—your conveyor has limited capacity, and timing your taps makes all the difference. As you progress, layouts become trickier, flows get faster, and managing the conveyor becomes a rewarding challenge. It’s a smooth mix of timing, sorting, and satisfying sand physics. Sand Out! creates a relaxing yet engaging rhythm: tap a little, sort a little, clear a little. Easy to start, satisfying to master. Features - Simple tap-to-break gameplay - Satisfying flowing sand mechanics - Conveyor-based sorting puzzles - Limited capacity challenges - Color-based sorting strategy - Clean visuals and smooth animations - Handcrafted puzzle levels Break the blocks, control the flow, and sort every grain.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Circle Sort sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Sand Out! sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Sand Out! holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sand Out! has 1.6K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Circle Sort's written reviews are positive against 22% of Sand Out!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Circle Sort ships an update monthly, Sand Out! weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
