I love it but just like you have colours that you can like… pick and kind of create, I wish there are like, stencils of some kind for beginners. But other than that I do really like it.😊 ### 5/5 — THISISSAND IS THE BEST 💜 *2026-01-05, version 2.4.5* I love this app because it has no ads and its really relaxing!

The toolkit is worth it, trust me! 💜💜💜💜💜 also if your screen ever goes black after closing out the app then delete it and reinstall it, after doing that if you have the toolkit then click restore purchases. 😊😊 I hope this helps for anyone who needs it! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 ### 5/5 — Thisisand is such a fun game in many ways! *2026-01-02, version 2.4.5* This game is such a relaxing game! And very fun to make different kinds of artwork! I love the sound when the sand drops and all the different kinds of colors sand there is. This is a really an amazing app and I really recommend this app. 10/10💕💕💕💕💕💕 ### 5/5 — Thisisbest👍👍 *2026-01-01, version 2.4.5* I played on this app at school and i realized i could download it on my phone so i immediately downloaded it!! I use this app when i have stress, wanting to play with sand, or just bored!! NEVER AGAIN AM I BOREE (BTW: HAVE FUN) ### 5/5 — Lovely app *2025-12-27, version 2.4.5* I have been using this app on and off since 2017. It is relaxing and the animation of the sand falling along with the sound is calming. Please download this if you have anxiety or are an over thinker , It allows you a small amount of time to focus on creating something beautiful instead of worrying about life’s trials and tribulations. Thank you for creating this app. 💝 ### 5/5 — I looooove ThisIsSand!! *2025-12-21, version 2.4.5* This is the best app everrrr!! U should definitely try it!! It’s free and has no adds tooooo!! 💖💖💖 ### 5/5 — The best game on earth *2025-12-13, version 2.4.5* Thisissand it is the best game on earth you should try it out. It’s the best game you should go try it out now. ### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS GAME *2025-12-06, version 2.4.5* I really love this game and it is so fun and enjoyable and I’ve also made a lot of friends on this is sand one little thing that I do wanna say is I want the tool kit but for a game that’s for all ages I think it does need to be a little bit cheaper because younger people on the app might not be able to get it and they might really want it so maybe make the tool kit like three dollars that’s like more reasonable in my opinion but other than that, it’s a really great game and I really recommend this to anyone who has like stress but also likes to draw or do art or anything that has to do with art so I would say it’s really for all people are all ages and I really recommend this 😁🫶🏼 ### 5/5 — Thisissand So Awesome! *2025-11-26, version 2.4.5* This game is so relaxing and fun! But I wish that the toolkit was free but it’s still really great! It is a very well made app and big glitchy at all if you have bad anxiety I would recommend getting it! So woo hoo Thisissand!!!!! ### 5/5 — THISISSAND IS THE BEST 💜 *2025-11-24, version 2.4.5* I love this app because it has no ads and its really relaxing!

One question: does the toolkit unlock everything when you buy it or just unlock one thing? 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊🩷💚🩷💚🩷💚🩷 ### 5/5 — THISISSAND IS THE BEST 💜 *2025-11-13, version 2.4.5* I love this app because it has no ads and its really relaxing!

I know that I am on iOS 18.0 but it still wont work and will not let me log in if it will work. It says no internet connection and I know my internet works. Please help me. Thanks in advance. God bless. ### 1/5 — would be great if it didn’t use the camera??? *2024-07-29, version 2.4.5* while i was on the app the camera usage icon was on. why is this app using my camera?? very suspicious, immediately deleted after that ### 1/5 — Terrible *2024-06-26, version 2.4.5* DO NOT BUY PRO, I bought it and I used photo sand it doesn’t work properly ### 1/5 — changes *2023-12-28, version 2.4.5* This app used to be cool but now they’re charging for the color of the sand:/ if you like the sound of the sand then this is the app for you.but 2 dollars for colored sand is a little ridiculous ### 1/5 — Camera *2023-12-08, version 2.4.5* Weirdly, I found out that the app is looking through my back camera somehow and get this, this is an app we are allowed to use in school. I don’t know what to say. It just has access to my camera and looking through it. ### 1/5 — Don’t download!!! *2023-10-19, version 2.4.5* This review may seem a little long but it’s worth reading. This app may sound ok and cool but it is not! The dang thing uses your camera for no reason! So you have options to buy camera sand art but even if you don't pay for camera sand art it uses your camera. Uf you thought that was bad, wait until you here about accepting the privacy policy! So when you accept the privacy policy you basically just said, “hey you can use my camera roll and sell it oh and you can listen to me on my microphone whenever you want.” If you dont believe me then read it yourself! ### 1/5 — It doesn’t even let you play *2023-09-17, version 2.4.5* When I got the game I had to sign up but when I did it didn’t work so tried multiple times and it still did not work.Do not get the game read the reviews first. ### 1/5 — GIVE US UPDATES *2023-07-25, version 2.4.5* GIVE US UPDATES ### 1/5 — Sign to make a picture? *2022-02-21, version 2.4.5* I’ve had this app for a while. I remember making various sand pictures. Now when I launch it I have to sign in! When did this start? Sign in to make a picture?!!! This is just data harvesting. Delete! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — it’s good pls read tho *2026-08-08, version 2.4.5* i love it but i wish it was less social like ppl need to stop talking through the post captions like this is a place to create art not talk to random ppl so maybe remove the caption tool and people are like mean to other people so just beware of that but otherwise it is amazing i love this app thank you for reading ### 5/5 — Life changing app *2026-07-31, version 2.4.5* When I was at school, everybody in my entire class was playing it and like every Other game I thought it was a dumb rip off game of a different game but then when I played it everything I made got into popular 24 hours and then I asked my mom if I played it on her phone, she said yes I have bought literally every single add-on and it is the best game ever. It is life-changing I have made so much things only thing I want to change is that you know how much likes you have that’s it please make the changes if you can thank you for the app is the best app I have ever played ### 5/5 — I LOVE IT! BEST GAME EVER! *2026-07-27, version 2.4.5* It’s sooo relaxing, I love the sound when the sand drops. The community is really nice too, there’s only one purchase and it’s really cheap. But here are some things I think you should add: an erase button, profile pics, featured art (so when people on your profile they will see your favorite art), and following! ### 5/5 — Im mad with the bugs *2026-07-19, version 2.4.5* Hi Devs of Thisissand why does aways its kick me out of thisissand. ### 5/5 — ❤️💕 love it *2026-07-18, version 2.4.5* I love this app because it is so calming and relaxing and fun creative.

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 anna_loves_tadc (btw this is my Thisissand name) ### 5/5 — Can you add a eraser please *2026-06-10, version 2.4.5* Because when I put the sand where I don’t want to put it I can’t erase it so can you please add erase ### 5/5 — Best game ever. *2026-05-30, version 2.4.5* 5 star rating. ### 5/5 — I’m just trying my best *2026-05-29, version 2.4.5* Fun ### 5/5 — Thisissand *2026-05-19, version 2.4.5* This is a great game for kids there are nice people and a friendly community --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
