Please update the mobile versions to align with the web version. With it now shut down I have multiple restoration items taking up space in my shop I can’t do anything with. I loved the restoration mechanic of the game and would be very happy to see it back. ### 2/5 — Buttons don’t work most time *2022-05-19, version 1.1.67* It takes me 20 clicks to pull up the information tab or to close it on my iPhone 13. The game is too buggy to fully enjoy ### 3/5 — Inability to sell items in back room *2021-10-27, version 1.1.67* I played Pawn Stars on my computer until about 3 years ago at which time my computer had an unrecoverable crash. Unfortunately, I was unable to purchase another computer afterwards so I started playing Pawn Stars on the iPad that the local newspaper offered as part of an online subscription. I have found that there is no working provision for selling the items that I had refurbished in my back room and seemingly no working option to place items that need to be refurbished in my back room so that I can refurbish and then offer them for sale. I also have a car in the back lot that is not seeming to sell even though I bought it well before my computer broke down and I bought a car today ands it is not showing up anywhere in my inventory which makes it very hard to sell. I also miss the places where you could buy things that were not part of my Pawn Stars store. Please fix these issues. Thank you in advance. ### 3/5 — Needs work. *2021-07-10, version 1.1.67* The games graphics could definitely use an update. Some of the items such as cars or large items dont sell or have an offer and it glitches and wont let you sell it. It should also be easier to make money and expand the shop. In this game its very difficult to make money unless you sit there and try to play it straight for hours. Other then that the game is fun. Ill rate it 5 stars when these things get fixed ### 2/5 — Wow *2021-05-15, version 1.1.67* I’ve been playing this game for years. Now all of a sudden it logs me out of Facebook and I’ve lost all my progress. Not very happy with this as I’ve worked hard towards what I had in my shop ### 2/5 — Not good *2021-03-24, version 1.1.67* Game really tries to get you to pay money to got quicker. When u get a bad offer for stuff, u can give ‘candy’ or watch ads to get a new offer, but the offers are worse and worse. If you really feel like it, then pay for the game. But I’m not paying for a Pawn Stars game. ### 3/5 — Please update *2021-03-10, version 1.1.67* Please add restorations and collections to the mobile game, especially now that the game no longer works through Facebook, I’ve played this game for years and these brought so much to it, and I have a few items still sitting in my shop and lot I can’t touch because they’re in the middle of restorations, if you add these I would easily switch to five stars. ### 4/5 — Lucky *2021-03-06, version 1.1.67* It is fun except we don’t know the history of the item or what the person that is bringing it in had originally bought it for. Plus we can’t call in a friend to look at it and if you offer a low price the costumer gets mad but you don’t get to explain yourself. I just wish it was more like the Pawn Stars. Your lucky 🍀 that I gave you four stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️because I am disappointed 😞 ### 3/5 — Needs update and lower rarity for big items *2021-02-11, version 1.1.67* This game needs an update badly, it is very fun to play and gets addicting but it starts to plateau when you keep getting the same items. High item rarity makes cool expensive items almost never come into the shop and small items that I have bought 15 times already keep coming in. Please update this game for the Pawn Stars fans. ### 3/5 — Just a few issues *2021-01-17, version 1.1.67* When I buy shelves and such it won’t let me move them to rearrange them nicely. So I’m deleting the game because it’s annoying. Otherwise the game works fine, maybe a tutorial would’ve been nice too it just throws you into it and doesn’t explain what everything is or does. ### 4/5 — Awesome but needs work *2020-12-25, version 1.1.67* Still really enjoy this game like I used to play on Facebook but wish there was a way to visit friends cause if there is I’m not able to find it and I would love to be able to visit some friends shops for those who still play ### 3/5 — Make it easier to get/earn candy *2020-09-22, version 1.1.67* I feel it’s WAY WAY WAY to difficult to earn/get candy. I think there should be daily things to get candy! ### 4/5 — Great game with a lot of potential *2020-08-16, version 1.1.67* I’ve been playing this game on and off since it first came to facebook, I love that I can play the game on the go now but there are some issues. Two of my favorite things introduced to the game were restorations and item collections, but I have to log on to my computer to do them. Please add these features to the mobile port of the game and I will gladly rate 5 stars. ### 2/5 — Almost unplayable *2020-05-06, version 1.1.47* This could have been good, but the interface is way to glitchy to enjoy. I found it unresponsive at times when it comes to exiting menus, moving items, and trying to look at items. Since you do those things a lot it makes the game a chore to play when it doesn’t work correctly. I’d give it one star if it wasn’t free. ### 3/5 — Pawnstars update please *2019-11-28, version 1.1.47* Please update the game very fun to play! Would like to see new stuff and to fix the bugs in the game a update would be nice to see sometime soon thank you. ### 4/5 — Fun but needs work *2019-10-31, version 1.1.47* Fun game, I love the different type of artifacts/items we get to learn about as they seem to keep adding more into the inventory. I like how simple but yet effective/fun it is to use. The only compliant I have about it is that when I got to push a button sometimes it doesn’t register to the game even though I can see what I click being highlighted but not functioning... it’s gets frustrating sometimes and unbearable to use so I had to delete it a few times but some how I always find my way back here.. lol. Thanks for the game and please work out he bugs. John Doe. ### 3/5 — Kinda disappointed *2019-07-12, version 1.1.47* A lot of buying and selling and that’s pretty much it, I downloaded the game expecting an addicting experience but instead it’s just buy and sell buy and sell buy and sell buy and sell, the graphics are just sloppy which is kind of annoying, as soon as I started the game I played for less than 2 minutes then I deleted it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not the same . *2021-08-23, version 1.1.67* I remember when I used to play this on the computer instead of my smartphone there was extra things like restoring items and vehicles. This game would game would be so much more fun if they would bring those to the app. Why isn’t there new items in the shop or updates?? It gets boring real quick ### 1/5 — Profile Erased *2021-05-27, version 1.1.67* I had my current game going for years, 30 million dollars, level 100-something, suddenly gone. Cannot get in contact with anyone about it since the app support page is a 404. Honestly I put way too much time into this game but nonetheless all of my years of progress is gone without any explanation. I’ve tried starting over but it’s daunting compared to what I had before. This app is unstable and you could lose your progress at any point. Don’t be a dummy like me and play something else. ### 1/5 — Glitchy *2020-01-29, version 1.1.47* I love the show and love the concept of this game. But the issues I’m having is that I’ll buy an item. Put it up for sale. Exit out of the game and come back, and the item is still in storage and never was put up for sale. Other issues is I have clicked to see an offer before and it was a good offer. Clicked off and back on and the offer changed to a horrid offer. The new offer wasn’t supposed to pop up for another 2 minutes too. ### 1/5 — Good idea but... *2019-08-27, version 1.1.47* Terrible execution of said idea. The game COULD be pretty great, especially for fans of the show. However, it freezes. A lot. Another issue is that you have ads pop up in the middle of doing something for absolutely no reason. I've had 3 ads pop up within 10 minutes and if you add in the video ads you opt in to watch to make customers happy again or to get a free candy or get extra cash then you've spent 7 out of that 10 minutes not playing anything but watching ads. So many time consuming ads combined with the constant crashing and freezing just ruins this game. ### 1/5 — It wont work *2019-07-11, version 1.1.47* The game was great at first but now the game freezes and makes me watch multiple ads with in 3 minutes. It also it will not let me pass on offers or exit once I click on a offer so I have to buy some items. It won’t let me watch ads to gain rewards and the price to buy money for the game is to much. It is Good idea so I am sad to see it is such a badly designed game. ### 1/5 — Poor support *2019-05-28, version 1.1.47* I have a truck I can't sell, it wants to be restored, but there is no option for that. Their website doesn't have any support for the iPhone app, only the Facebook version. Graphics are below poor. My child can render graphics better ### 1/5 — Cheap made *2019-05-21, version 1.1.47* I wish they would put more effort in the game. It takes FOREVER to sell an item... FOREVER to get customers... NO TUTORIAL... It should keep ppl wanting to play but when u just downloaded the app and playing "blind" and after 2-3 mins you have nothing to do but sell and wait 2 -3 mins before 1 customer comes in. It's extremely slow paced. Please put effort in this game.... It's nothing like the show. ### 1/5 — Adding restoration feature *2018-09-30, version 1.1.44* I had emailed someone about buying items them having them restores on iPhone and galaxy and was told have to use a computer to do so which I have and it works but why do I have to use a computer that I only use for this purpose it’s crazy ### 1/5 — Boring *2018-09-16, version 1.1.44* Here's an honest review. Graphics are dull hand drawn but in poor resolution. Game mechanics are unbalanced 200$ to price check an item that cost 35$ ....? And you can control the buying price to some degree but not the selling price why? Items take way to long to sell and the reward is petty most of the time. You can buy money with real cash via bundles and all that but they are extremely expensive and not that useful. Customers lines take to long to replenish. Sry this game needs a new look and something more than the minimal effort to separate you from your hard earned money. The game is free to play that's a plus but it doesn't have anything that stands out from other games like this. it's truly generic for something using the history channel and pawn star brand I expected more content or at least better quality. Overview is the game is designed as pay to play and is not that entertaining. ### 2/5 — Used to be great *2023-02-10* I started playing this on my PC over a decade ago in college and loved every part of the game. I recently came back to the game on my phone and I’ve noticed that many of the features that made it unique and cool are not there anymore. No longer can you restore items, you can’t bring in experts, you can’t collect and bundle items together to make a collection worth more money, and you don’t have an inventory list of all items you’ve purchased (and shadowed out ones that you haven’t gotten to yet). One of my goals was to collect every item in the game, but I not longer have a list to go off of. This was a great game, unfortunately now it’s just something I do in the background to give my mind a break, it still brings a little bit of fun but nowhere near what it used to. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good game *2022-07-23, version 1.1.67* I like this game a lot but I would like a less blurry looking game even more pixelated is fine just not blurry I also would like more detail on some of the items like brand owner sometimes and if u can call a guy in to tell u about the item, authenticate signature and item. I would also like a more detailed argument and price back and forth like where the expert can tell the seller the item is worthless. Just make the game more realistic pls but a really game ### 5/5 — New update please *2022-06-17, version 1.1.67* Love the game just needs new updates new items ### 5/5 — Bring back the pc game *2021-11-16, version 1.1.67* Still playing on my phone and hope it comes back to the computer! My backroom is filled with lots of collection items ### 5/5 — Please update the app *2021-02-08, version 1.1.67* All the app needs is a update and I’m sure it wouldn’t be that hard. ### 5/5 — Great game *2020-09-30, version 1.1.67* I love playing this game I first found it in the early 2000’s but when MySpace disappeared I never thought I’d find it again I really enjoy playing it again I just wish it wouldn’t constantly crash all the time I keep losing everything I’ve bought etc. if that could get fixed I’d be a pawnasuer by now👌 ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2019-12-18, version 1.1.47* Awesome game extremely fun and addictive but please fix the red X not registering when you click it that’s my only complaint ! Great game ### 5/5 — Super addictive *2019-11-17, version 1.1.47* Very good game like the show but adding more elements. The only problem is it has a tendency to glitch I can’t sell anything in the back room without a table. And some cheap stuff is sold for to much. Some one on the game was selling Care Bears for 1233$ not even joking. But over all a very good game with a cool idea. 5/5 ### 5/5 — Very nice *2019-06-07, version 1.1.47* It’s cool it all just needs better graphics maybe and more information at the beginning of the game. ### 5/5 — Restoration *2019-06-02, version 1.1.47* I linked this from my Facebook, but I’m guessing you aren’t able to do restorations through the app or I just hadn’t figured it out. ### 5/5 — Pawn stars the game *2019-02-16, version 1.1.47* Need more new cool items and stuff to the game like road trip to go to a Nother world or town to get more stuff from people to my friends Who made this game to ok my friendly people who made this pawn star the game and pawn on ok people ?. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
