★★★★★ The ads are so overwhelming, unistalled after seeing there is no way to avoid an ad after every level
★★★★★ Even though I paid for ad-free, they cover so many spaces on the board with ads.
★★★★★ In the begging, this was a fun little game, but bow is just ads…….

★★★★★ If the game needs money, then just put this game behind a pay wall.
★★★★★ look, i get that the game needs money to be maintained, but having ads appear unannounced in the middle of your game so that you accidentally click them because you were in the middle of playing a freaking game is…
★★★★★ I never seen 3 ads on a row the creators are way too greedy they are focused on ads and money and cannot even fix the glitches on this game like the league glitch!
28 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ 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.
★★★★★ Just deleted the game because of the frequency in which you HAVE to watch ads just to continue and complete certain rounds.
★★★★★ I had completed somewhere between 300-500 levels, my phone was stolen, and One Tap global has not answered my months old support request email to restore my account
14 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ They use fake reviews to inflate their rating, and it's overall not a good game.
★★★★★ some levels are unplayable without ads
★★★★★ Hoping I'm wrong on the pushing for ads to be watched

★★★★★ Eu amo esse jogo porém recentemente eu não consigo jogar de tanto anúncio, mas não é anúncios a cada nível, tem um bug que quando eu estou jogando ele fica abrindo o anúncio, aí eu fecho e tento voltar a jogar e ele…
★★★★★ When I does it says it's not working the next day.
★★★★★ I never seen 3 ads on a row the creators are way too greedy they are focused on ads and money and cannot even fix the glitches on this game like the league glitch!

★★★★★ 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.
★★★★★ Therefore, you'll be permanently stuck on an ad every time you click anything on the screen.
★★★★★ I liked the game enough that I shelled out the 8 dollars to go ad free only to find that the spaces that you need to watch ads to play on are still unplayable and now you can't open them bc you can't open without…
9 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ I enjoyed the game until they began to lock the sections of the grid behind micro transactions and watching advertisements by level 6 or so. By level 8 it is impossible to progress. Less than 20 minutes of play time.
★★★★★ This has been one of my Go-To Games for awhile now, but all of a sudden today things aren't working as they should be; I suddenly have half the tokens I should have, the every 12 hour freebies have reset waaaay too…
★★★★★ This would be a fun concept if the locked hexagons didn't make up literally 70% of the available space on the board.

★★★★★ pop up window with spam message ruined this game got virus on my phone
★★★★★ One ad in particular keeps opening chrome and loading a page that seems to want to steal my information by telling me I have a virus… frustrating and ridiculous compared to the ad version I enjoyed for a few minutes…
★★★★★ Like why does me getting a 10% battery notification induce an ad?????..
24 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.
★★★★★ Pencil Sort is such a relaxing and fun game.
★★★★★ i never write reviews because i cant bring myself to care enough but this is the best game ive ever played like its so addicting i see everyome complain about ads but even the ads are fun to play like every ad is…
★★★★★ The ad is too long (over 60 seconds) and it seems like I'm watching ads more than I'm playing the game. The company should stop relying on ad makers to give customers 100% satisfaction.
5 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.
★★★★★ If you make an ad free version available for purchase, I might be back.
★★★★★ You can watch a longer ad to get it for free, which I appreciate because a lot of other games don't offer that free option.
★★★★★ In the game it has a button to free up cells if you watch an ad.
4 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.
★★★★★ Pencil Sort is such a relaxing and fun game. Thank you for the good time!
★★★★★ Very fun and easy to learn to play
★★★★★ This is a simple, yet challenging game.
2 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

The ads are so overwhelming, unistalled after seeing there is no way to avoid an ad after every level
Уважаемые разработчики этого шедевра, а не игры! Прошу вас, просто умоляю, откликнуться на мою мольбу. Я играла в эту игру на Android и добилась немалых успехов. Прогресс игры был сохранён в Play Играх. Сейчас у меня iOS, и мой прогресс, к сожалению, невозможно перенести. Я пыталась начать заново в неё играть, но на 20‑м уровне игра сама по себе зависает. Пожалуйста, исправьте эту ошибку и подскажите, могу ли я перенести свой прогресс на новый телефон.
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?!?!
No início, o jogo funciona bem, mas, com o passar do tempo, as movimentações ficam extremamente limitadas até que o jogo trava e exige que você assista a anúncios para continuar. Fica evidente que a experiência é prejudicada pela quantidade excessiva de publicidade, tornando praticamente impossível jogar sem interrupções. A experiência é frustrante e desinstalei o jogo.
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
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 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
