Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Great good and service every time us and our husband partake at PICKUP STICKS. We are actually going there to eat later today.
Great app! It is so fitting. Lol.
Frustrating to tap the skinny pencil on top only to have the game register the one underneath and take away points. Fingers are wider than the app pencils people! We guess it's a touch screen thing. Idk.
As far as pick up sticks it's fun to do it this way, but it's kinda boring especially when dumb hackers take the competition away. We can't believe how many don't have something better to do than beat a game of pick up sticks. The only top 25 we could see all had a time of ZERO. Impossible. And stupid.
We paid 2.99 for 5 mil coins. Bought six themes. All said Purchased. All but one (feathers) was unlocked when we went back into the app. To hopefully fix this problem we deleted, then redownloaded (in our husbands purchased section of the app store. Now all six purchased (as stated on app link) are locked. We forgot to take a screen shot photo to show that feathers was "purchased" and still locked. Apple, you have POOR quality control. Refund would be the fair thing to do, but we have to wait until something appears on your records, then we have to explain why money was taken and no purchases have been received. Pain. This is one of the reasons why we NEVER BUY from BF Games. Perhaps updates have changed this, because the last two apps we purchased were updated years ago and didnt work on the latest ipad update. Also, we never pay to continue to play (fremium) because you pay much more (in the long run). No app is worth paying to continue to play, these are the apps that BF tends to update. This is besides the point, but shows that free is often a scam, as this app is.
This is very very good for kids because if you are trying to do work, this gets the child busy so they won't be bugging you! New levels new requirements.
All we have to say is it's a good game.
We only play the game because we saw the commercial of a tv show called sirens.
We can't believe that there is only like five of us reviewing. Shocker.
This game is soooo cool it's fun and challenging but so addicting.
We really like games like this and we're really sensitive and we're scared easily so when ever we tapped the wrong one and it buzzed we would almost pee our pants so we turned the vibrating off and we were perfectly fine love this game and we're extra happy because next year we're starting 6th grade and we're in the Honor Society this year will be fun.this game.
How do you get iPads to connect to each other when you select nearby on play with friends option.
We have literally had this app for 1 minute. We already love it! You can choose what kind of sticks you want, you can choose the backround, if you want to have a timer on your run or not, Super considerate! You should get it! Omg that rhymes.
This app helps your brain think differently! Please buy this if you did not.
It is amazing this is a wonderful game we love it.it is a amazing games.
We think this game should have four stars because when you play the different modes you will like.and it will keep you busy for a long time.
This game is so cool. Definitely 5 stars.
Simple, just like the game itself, we don't want other things so the on-app purchases don't bother us much, anyways. Good game.
It's a challenging game and we love it but it wouldn't let us connect to other devices to play multiplayer on.
It doesn't have much sticks to choose from but it does have cool ones the game is super to hard when u have small sticks but this is really fun to do by yourself or with friends and family.
This game is fun but it gets boring pretty quickly!! You have to pay for the cool and fun things!! We would not recommend this app.
Most the al the sticks u pick r lock u have to buy it don't fAll FOR it NVM.
Ill write a review on if it is good or not once we play it.
Whenever we wasn't touching and area or even the screen during arcade it would randomly make us lose a life and it was very activating.
We hate this game it is so boring and it has most. Sticks locked.
We can't even pick one stick up and it barely even tells you in the directions.
Not good at all. Hate it with the passion.
Well this app is super cool!! Even the music is good, it has no glitches and it's great. We recommend to you! :).
Awesome game! So much fun but also challenging.
Thank you for making this video game pleas make some more games. :).
We love this app so much but.. When we click the top one it says we did the bottom but still get it it's ok.
A game that reminds us of being a kid.
Although the game is simple, the fact that it cannot detect which stick you are picking up is a major flaw. Fix this, and we will rate you 5 stars.
The game is just okay. Gets boring when the scenario never changes. Wouldn't there be some way to get a variety of layouts.
Every time we hit the one that's in the top it says it is wrong. Total waste of space and time.
This game is simple but so fun trying to beat your own time. Try it. You'll like it.
Great game. Works well, realistic and fun. Helps get our mind off problems and helps with focus.
We don't like this game we love it.
At first it looked dumb bit when we actually played it we could not stop playing it!!! We played it 2 hours strait!!! It's an awesome game and every one should get it!!! When we post this review guess what we'll be playing……?!?!?!?!?! LOL.
This game is fun to play at nite to calm us down or just when we're bored cause we have games that are more fun than that.
When we were maybe 7 or 8 our sister and we got this game. Well your version is awesome and brings back great memories. Doesn't even matter being computerized. It's so real. We just love it.
Easy, fun games to entertain kids in the airport.
Creators need to fix a couple of glitches.
There are times when your super bored and just want to play something.we have read the comments and they make us think"Lame Game"we download it anyway and we thought it was a good game for Summer!It was an extreme hot day and we couldn't get our mind of it until we got this game and got our mind of it.So kids,adults,and others if you think this game is so lame,try it before you hate it.
This is not the best game in the enter world like……….. Subway surfers or any other games but if u are board then you should get it.
A okay game but its really easy, all you do is tap the stick and it goes away, waste if time.
We love this game —u got a good one.
Works the brain well and we love it we play it when we're bored.
It's So Funn For When Your Bored ;).
