User Reviews

Thisissand is widely praised as a relaxing, ad-free creative outlet with calming sand-drop visuals and soothing sounds. It works offline and supports a friendly community, making it popular for stress relief and simple art. The main downside mentioned is paywalls: many features and the toolkit are behind a paywall, with several reviews calling for lower prices or free access. A few users also note occasional bugs or concerns about long-term updates. Overall, it’s beloved for its calm, creative experience, but the pricing model matters to potential newcomers.

Cons

Paywalls and pricing: many features and the toolkit are paid, and several reviews wish they were free.
Content and features locked behind purchases; users feel access is restricted.
Occasional concerns about long-term updates or perceived stagnation.

Thisissand is great game!!! I love how you can make many different pieces and how the toolkit is only 1.99! But one time I deleted the app and reinstalled it (since it wasn’t working) and I lost the ENTIRE TOOLKIT! (Don’t worry I got it back in like a week) other than that it’s AMAZING! 🤩 By kotlc_annabeth (btw this is my Thisissand name)
