User Reviews

Overall, players praise Pick-Up Sticks for its fun, challenging gameplay and strong customization options, with a nostalgic, kid-friendly vibe and a simple, approachable design. However, they frequently complain about monetization issues (purchases not unlocking and paid content), limited free content, and unreliable multiplayer connectivity. Additional concerns include imprecise touch controls and unclear instructions. The game is engaging but these recurring issues affect the user experience, particularly around purchases and online play.

Pros

Fun, challenging, and addictive gameplay.
Extensive customization options (stick types, backgrounds, timer, and themes).
Nostalgic, family-friendly vibe that appeals to kids and adults.
Simple, accessible design that is easy to learn and pick up.

Cons

In-app purchases frequently don't unlock purchased items; content often locked behind paywalls.
Limited free content; many sticks are locked or require purchases to access.
Unreliable multiplayer connectivity; difficulty connecting with nearby devices or playing with friends.
Touch controls can be imprecise and directions unclear, leading to mis-taps.

I paid 2.99 for 5 mil coins. Bought six themes. All said Purchased. All but one (feathers) was unlocked when I went back into the app. to hopefully fix this problem I deleted, then redownloaded (in my husband’s purchased section of the app store. Now all six purchased (as stated on app link) are locked. I 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 I have to wait until something appears on your records, then I have to explain why money was taken and no purchases have been received. Pain. This is one of the reasons why I NEVER BUY from BF Games. Perhaps updates have changed this, because the last two apps I purchased were updated years ago and didn’t work on the latest ipad update. Also, I 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.

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! I guess it's a touch screen thing. Idk.
