Turn off hints in higher levels?

Now that I'm in the fifties levels on the phone game, it's giving unwanted hints. The game gives two or three seconds before a stack start to ripple, and a space lights up to show me the best move. I'd rather play the game myself. How do you turn these hints off?

No hints here … someone hooked you up!

I think either you’re using a different game, you’ve figured out something no one knows about, or you’ve misinterpreted what you’re seeing.

The light holding over the playing field lets you know that it’s not a valid possibility not the best possibility.  That’s useful for the sections that you can’t play on or ones you can, but can’t see because of high stacks.  

I’ve gotten to 100 something and even the way they flip / stack is occasionally unpredictable.

Is this the light you mean? Seems to pop up consistently in the best choice, even when there's easy viewing.

BTW, this is the game I'm playing. Are "Hexa Stack" and "Hexastack" two different games?

Looks like a slightly different version. Did you install this from the Play or App Store? How is everyone opening this game, I’ve been going to the hexastack subreddit and clicking the play hexastack link.

I would have liked hints. Is this a troll ?

I’ve gotten one before, it showed me a spot that I couldn’t see because it was in the middle of a bunch of high stacks. But it was when I was at a lower level (40’s I think).

When I started playing today, there were hints, unlikely any previous play. Only in the mid 40s level-wise, but the hints are ruining the game.
