Verdict

The call

Category Sort and Wordington Solitaire both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 68% of Wordington Solitaire's written reviews are positive against 31% of Category Sort's. Wordington Solitaire also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). Category Sort's advantage is ratings volume (13K vs 1.9K). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Category Sort holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Category Sort has 13K ratings behind it against 1.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of Category Sort's written reviews are positive against 68% of Wordington Solitaire's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Category Sort ships an update every 2 weeks, Wordington Solitaire every 5 days. Both last shipped on October 20, 2026.
