About

Sortimals

Features
Read full description

Sortimals is a screen you don't have to worry about: a gentle shape sorting puzzle for toddlers and preschoolers, played entirely offline with zero ads and zero accounts. Match each shape to its silhouette and a brand-new animal friend pops up to celebrate — circles, squares, triangles, stars and more, each paired with its own critter across three worlds. Built for little hands: every round ends in a celebration, there's no wrong-answer penalty or timer, and fast, repeated taps are always handled gracefully. Meadow is included from the very first launch, with six rounds of shape matching. A single Pro unlock adds the Jungle and Ocean worlds — twelve more rounds and a whole new roster of animal friends, no subscription involved. Why parents choose Sortimals: • Fully offline — no wifi needed, anywhere • No ads, no accounts, no data collected • Difficulty ramps gently for ages 2-6 • Universal app with full native iPad support, any orientation • A single Pro unlock, never a subscription Sortimals is one focused shape-matching puzzle, not a bundle of distractions — a single delightful loop, polished until it shines.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 21 at none against Sortimals's 1. 21 also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Sortimals's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
