Ads After I Paid!

Even though I paid for ad-free, they cover so many spaces on the board with ads. There can be up to 6 spaces being blocked from playing and the only way to free them is by watching an ad. What is the point of paying?!?!

Ad glitch

This game now has an ad glitch where every 20 seconds or so it interrupts game play to take you to a SHEIN page. Ruined the game, won’t be playing anymore.

Muito anúncio

Numa única jogada, 3 anúncios. Isso é muito desonesto e também tem faze que não tem como passar se não pagar ou ficar assistindo anúncios

아니

아니 너무 잘하고 있었는데 요즘따라 광고 보려고 하면 검은 화면 됐다가 게임 튕기고 갑자기 블루투스도 꺼져서 애플펜슬 안먹힘;; 그리고 오늘은 광고 보려다가 아이패드까지 꺼져서 재부팅하던데 갑자기 왜이러는거임;; 뭐 바이러스 심어두셨나

Forcibly opens adds in my browser

Had this game for years, and I really love it. To the point where I’ve completed all the pencil paintings and I still play it. Deleting it now though because every time I open it, it takes me away from the game and opens up in my browser. This is without me clicking on anything. Just playing the game and then suddenly it’s opening up a commercial on my phone. No other game does this, it’s one thing to display ads and open them up if they’re clicked on. But there’s no way around this in pencil sort. And it happens every time. Very disappointed.

To many ads

In the begging, this was a fun little game, but bow is just ads…….
Not only ads when you open the game or when you need help , but also during the game when you pull the color from the bottom of the screen, the ads pop up. That’s it for me… planty of other better games 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

Paid and Still Ads!

I paid to no have ads, but they block so much of the board with ads. The only way to open some very useful spaces is by watching ads. It’s a disgusting thing.

Viel Werbung, UX Bug

Wie schon oft erwähnt viel Werbung. Wäre ok aber beim daily reward muss man seit ein paar Monaten richtig oft klicken bis es reagiert. Dass dieser Bug nicht behoben wird verstehe ich nixht.

No painting updates

I love this game, but the lack of painting updates irritates me. What’s the point of getting points or whatever if I can’t use it for anything?

Pencil Sort

The little advertisements are very distracting and they come up way too often. It’s very distracting to the game. I probably will delete it.

Unbeateable levels so you have to buy

Some of the levels are unbeatable unless you watch ads to get extra spaces or buy perks to beat them, and often times the game will give you pieces that make it so you have no option but to lose the level and start over. I genuinely hate this game and had to delete

Toooooooo many ads!!!!

This game is fun but there are way tooo many ads. It takes longer to get through the ads then it does a game. Not good

Too many ads

Downloaded game bc the sample was fun. But every move an ad comes up

Now even more annoying ads

I used to like this game but lately in the middle of one, they are feeding you video ads. It’s so annoying that I’m offloading from my phone.

Ads constantly crash the game

You want to watch an ad for a reward? Well, you’re going to have to watch it twice, because the first time, it’ll play all the way through and then the entire app will just freeze. Then you get to watch the ad again for your reward.

Add Central

I downloaded the game when they first came out, and it was great, but as of its current development, the ads make it unplayable. Every item that you move triggers an ad to be pulled up to the top of the screen, and you can pull the ad back down, only for it to come right back up the moment you move another pencil piece. It’s a massive waste of time.

You can’t even play outside of Wi-Fi because the ads can’t be played without Wi-Fi. Therefore, you’ll be permanently stuck on an ad every time you click anything on the screen.

Game malfunction!

Unfortunately I have become addicted to this game, but recently I’ve been getting full screen ads pop up in the middle of playing a level. Sometimes it causes tiles to be placed where I don’t want them. This didn’t happen before, so I thought maybe it’s a bug from an update and should be brought to your attention! I want to keep playing the game! But it’s extremely difficult when you can’t place a tile without an ad 🙃.

Ads stuck on 1st game

1st game ad for drawing then 2 more ads then back to drawing ad. Can’t get rid so that’s the end of what I thought would be an interesting game 😟

Micro ads constantly interrupt

My previous review disappeared, but I will continue writing them.

I used to like this game and recommended it. I watched the optional ads to get points or free spaces in the game.

However, a couple of weeks ago, they started having pop-ups saying to pay $7.99 to become “ad free”…. And suddenly started interrupting game play with micro ads of 3-5 seconds long. REPEATEDLY.

I started counting them. Up to 39 interruptions with micro ads during just one level of play! With most of the ads, you can’t even tell what they’re advertising, because they’re just a tiny snippet of a regular ad, obviously intended to annoy players to get them to pay for “ad free”.

This is really a shame, because it was a good game before they started the constant interruptions. I used to play it before going to bed, to relax. But having multiple ads during every minute of play is NOT relaxing. I’m using up the points I accumulated, and then will quit, unless they stop these micro ads. There are plenty of other choices of games to play. (I will return to add my review if you remove it again.)
