Community Insight:
To many damn ads. Will delete app.
Pencil Sort is such a relaxing and fun game. Thank you for the good time.
We never write reviews because we cant bring ourselves to care enough but this is the best game ive ever played like its so addicting we see everyome complain about ads but even the ads are fun to play like every ad is playable and we think its a nice little break in between levels we play this game to pass time on the treadmill and literally whenever we have nothing to do (even in class when we have stuff to do tbh….) thank you devs for making this you changed our life for the better.
Game is super fun and the paintings you draw with your sorted pencils are hilarious. They are based on famous works of art and always have something funny changed. The Godzilla one made us pee ourselves laughing.
So addicting. Love this game. But theres so many bug glitches. Specifically on the leagues and tournaments. If thats fixed its 5/5. Please fix the bugs.
We love this game but when will there be an update. Ive basically reached the highest you can go.
The ad is too long (over 60 seconds) and it seems like Im watching ads more than Im playing the game. The company should stop relying on ad makers to give customers 100% satisfaction.
This is such a fun and addicting game. Too bad its super annoying to play because of the amount of ads you need to watch. Even if you pay for the no ads feature, you still need to watch ads on the actual levels in order to unlock spots. If they would remove the ads for unlocking spots, Id give it a 5/5.
This is a great hex sort game. We love the pencil themed art and the actual attributed art. But OMG for the free to play version the ads are out of control. Pause your game play for a minute, get an ad. Getting lousy pieces and want to free up one of the 4-6 blocked spaces on the board, watch an ad. Finish the puzzle, you guess it, watch an ad. We get needing ad revenue to pay for the game, but this is the most egregious ad abuse Ive seen, to the point we refuse to buy the ad free version because we dont believe it will truly be ad free.
All the review you read so far are fake, the app itself is okay but the ads are ridiculous, lucky Im not on android we woulda block that shi long ago.
Interruptions: Non-optional Ad-Breaks (+2 coins) Can only restart/lose a level for as many lives you have, before having to wait 20 minutes for them to recharge, unless you pay Ad-Free Version: $8.00 Spots are locked off: some you can unlock with video ads, but more of the locked squares can only be accessed by spending coins you earn from daily check-ins, spinning the wheel, and of course buying the coins with real life currency. As the levels progress, more and more spots are locked making the levels nearly impossible to play unless you pay.
This game is fun! But the amount of ads makes us enjoy it so much less. After basically each level, the game will give you an ad break, and while sometimes they can be short, we once got a 2 minute ad that we couldnt even skip. If youre good at the game, each level might only take less than a minute, which would mean that youre getting more ads than you are play time. Thats insane.
The game is good to play. Im deleting it because the ads are non stop and they are longer than an ad that would run on a TV program. Its ridiculous.
Beyond a few intro levels, the game appears to require purchase of tools, etc. To progress. Each short level requires watching several ads, usually lasting longer than play time.
We love playing it but we spend more time watching ads than playing. Its the super long ads too. Makes it not fun anymore. If they make the ads half the time that would be much better.
Dont buy the Ad Free option. There are still almost as many ads.
The gameplay is excellent and addicting for the most part, but the ads are necessary to get through some levels as they hide tiles, and the ads are way too long and interactive, meaning you cant continue until you advance to another 15-second screen of ads. Its super annoying and frustrating.
The game play is fun and challenging we find it satisfying and its mini game, that includes interesting facts about classic art pieces, rocks! BUT just like every other complaint about the game ADDS RUIN AND INTERRUPT GAME PLAY.
We too loved playing this game until a virus message kept coming up whenever we played it.
We get that you have to have ads but come on!! The solitaire ads are wayyyy too long and they mess with our phone. Ridiculous.
This game is the best we cant stop playing.
Very fun and easy to learn to play.
Guys this is so addicting we stg we play it for hours every day. We rly want an unlimited version where there isnt a set amount of pencils needed or smtn. We LOVE THIS GAME.
Its ok there is just A-ton of adds!its really annoying because after you play a game there is an add and you dont get dot he draw thing.Over all its really fun.
Its a really fun game but once in awhile a browsers would pop up with a virus warning just a little heads up.
We kept 4 stars so the review would be seen. We paid so that we wouldnt have to see ads but it made NO difference. They are constant. We between every game and in order to remove blocks in the game itself you have to watch super long ads.
Fun game but too many spam/malware ads that auto load.
This game used to be fun until a pop-up opens into our browser that seems like a virus-threat sweeper website keeps popping up every 10 mins. Then when we close and open up the game again to resume an in-game ad pops up (which is normal). However we dont think the threat sweeper website opening in our Safari browser is normal. Will be deleting this app, its a shame because its really fun and addicting.
We like playing the game, but sometimes the art drawings can be in questionable taste.
Fun game but have to watch hundreds of 4 minute ads. We actually lost weight because we started doing sit ups during the ads and thanks to the hours added up we now we have a 6 pack.
We really love this game but our phone gets crazy hot whenever Im playing. Never had this problem before, its weird.
This game is fun but it starts to get to the point where you cant progress unless you watch ads for free spaces or to use abilities. AND the ads themselves last like 90 seconds. Its really ridiculous.
Ive accumulated nearly 83,000 pts. Have we beat the game already.
Ive been playing for several weeks and really enjoy it. Except when the levels seem specifically designed to require watching multiple adds to revive or to open up free spots. Then the next colors given dont move the game forward. Just fill up spots and force another revive, which equals more ads.
Too many lengthy ads. Very annoying.
We cant find anywhere on the app to contact customer support. We have not been receiving our 40 coins or the additional +5 coins for watching the ads at the end of each level for at least a day now if not longer. We have taken screenshots and would like to know where we can submit them to have this corrected. It's bad enough there are pop ups every 5 min but then this.
Love this game, confused about the random beeps and virus pop ups.
This game makes us feel like Im having an aneurysm everytime an ad pops up after finishing a level. We genuinely dont think we can handle this game anymore. We understand theres a meaning for it but its just gotten to the point that Im going to Kurt Cobain ourselves if another one pops up after finishing a level after twenty thousand retries because we keep running out of space and while getting the most dog water colors ever.
This was our FAVORITE game. However after we guess a recent update ?every time we play for a few moments we get redirected to safari with a virus pop up. We ignored it for a while but it is making the game completely unplayable and also its REALLY WEIRD. Sadly will have to delete which is upsetting.
Wish we could still play without the virus redirect. This one was fun.
This is a super fun game but soo many pop ups and virus threat pop ups specifically! Plus it makes a suspicious beeping noise sometimes so we think we will be deleting.
Ive been playing this game for a while now and ive noticed some concerning/annoying things. First is that there are some ads that will not go away and will redirect you to the app store no matter how many times you press the x. Another is the virus sweeper websites that will take you out of the game and open a new browser while it scans for viruses. The most concerning is something that recently started occurring. An electronic beep/alarm sound has started to go off at least once while playing even though there are no other apps open and nothing that the alarm could come from. Not sure what it could be but its only gone off while in-game.
Im experiencing the same thing a previous reviewer mentioned; every so often the game will suddenly reroute us to our Safari browser and pull up a virus warning page. Nothing else seems to be wrong. Honestly this seems pretty suspicious, so we will be deleting the app. Too bad, because the game itself is fun. But not worth the stress of the virus pop-ups.
The app is fun and addictive, dont get us wrong. Like most other apps its filled with ads but im used to it. Whats not awesome is whatever ads that this app has that open up a safari tab with one of those classics u have malware viruses on ur phone scan now !!!!! Websites. Not only is it annoying, but those are real scam websites that ur allowing to be opened thru ur app. Someones grandmas gonna get hacked by stuff like that man, not cool.
Like the game, interface is nice, but the number, length, and obtrusiveness of the ads makes it unplayable.
We downloaded this game from an ad playing another sort game. It is very addictive. We have been enjoying it. Until we kept getting this virus pop up. We ignored it at first but then it started coming more frequently, so much we could play the game. We had to delete. Its a shame because we liked the game a lot. We will be looking for a different game with the same concept.
We continuously am interrupted by malware websites opening up on safari. Otherwise great game. Will delete but its sad for such a fun game to go.
It was a really fun game, until a an add poppped up went straight to our browser as if was a virus protecter really sus and weird. We did delete it.
We love this game so much, we play it like all the time, but ill be in the middle of a level and it opens up scam/virus websites in our safari browser multiple times per level. We probably have over 100 of those windows on our phone. Maybe paying for the ad free version would solve it, but its like $9 and if it keeps happening, we wouldnt want to be disappointed.
Fun game but endless annoying ads. Half the time the ads go on forever with no skip/continue button or freeze.
