We are actually going there to eat later today!!! ### 5/5 — Pickup sticks *2019-05-26, version 1.5.0* Great game love how you can play multiplayer with friends close by or random ### 5/5 — WOW I think the game is really really really really good *2019-01-08, version 1.5.0* Omg it is the best game ever to exsist🥇🏆🎖♥️♥️👑👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🤘🏼👊🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤗😜😋🤩🤪🥳I only Mack this face expression. Wen I loos on arcade mode 🙄😤😳 ### 4/5 — Idk *2018-12-24, version 1.5.0* This game is good but kinda boring ### 1/5 — deleted and downloaded in attempt to fix problem, now worse *2017-12-28, version 1.5.0* 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. ### 3/5 — It's ok *2017-07-12, version 1.5.0* 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. ### 4/5 — Pick up sticks *2017-02-18, version 1.5.0* This is the best game ever too download. It makes the time disappear, So please DOWNLOAD IT NOW!!!! ### 3/5 — It's ok *2017-01-14, version 1.5.0* 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. I can't believe how many don't have something better to do than beat a game of pick up sticks. The only top 25 I could see all had a time of ZERO. Impossible. And stupid. ## Frequently asked questions about Pick ### What is this app about? This app is a digital version of the classic stick-picking game.
