App does not work

I would enjoy this game, except you dont get the chance to. After you open the app, you have enough time to pick up two sticks and then it closes on its own. Not sure why it does this, but hopefully a new version with bug fixes will be coming soon.

Pretty good

You should make this a multiplayer game on game center!

It works

This game does so work, you just have to get use to it

really why even try

i would rate this game a zero if i could B O R I N G i think this game shouldnt even be in the app store

Better

Better in many ways since the last update, but apparently now my fingers are too fat to pick the stick I want. If you are older than 5, your fingers might be too fat as well.

...

When I play, my fingers are to fat and it does not work when I touch the sticks!!! Hoping for a better update!! I have to touch the sticks 3 or 4 times in order for it to recognize me touching it!!!!!

Grrr

This game doesnt work give me my 0.99 back!!!!!

A great app to keep the kids busy!

Pickin Stix took me back to my childhood, when I had a little cylinder filled with colofrul plastic "Pickup Sticks". Youd toss em in a pile, and then try to pick them up without disturbing the other sticks. Not only was it a great way to stay engrossed for a while, but it was also teaching me and my friends manual dexterity, as well as how to use our depth and relational perception to figure out how to move a stick without moving any others. Now Jonathan Tenkely has come out with his iPhone version, just the thing to pass to the kids when theyre bored and you want to keep them out of trouble. With Pickin Stix, you shake the iPhone to "toss" the 47 sticks, then use a finger to "pick them up". The better you do at tapping on the top sticks, the faster youll get done. The only complaint I have is that Pickin Stix, currently in a 1.0 release, has no way to keep your best time or to compare your time to others. Id also like to see an advanced mode with more sticks to pick up for an additional challenge, and a way to pause a game.

Ridiculously addictive!

A great way to distract yourself during boring meetings or conference calls.

This game rocks!!!!!!!!!

This game is soooo awesome! It is a great way to pass time. Even though it can get pretty challenging, it is a great game. Im going to tell all of my friends about this new app. And again I say, THIS GAME ROCKS!!!

GREAT GAME ANYWHERE

This game is great for when you need to kill time. Wish is kept track of your best times and your high scores. Love even let my kids play. Reminds me of when I was a kid playing this with stix.

Quiets Down the Kids!!!!

This addictive little app requires just enough concentration that my six year old opens his mind and closes his lips long enough to best his best time. Its a virtual way of sharing a favorite childhood game with my kids, without someone getting an eye poked out by an errant stick. The thing that makes this game really fun is something you wont realize until after you buy it. The timer adds an element of challenge that prevents you from setting it down and going on to something else. Youll feel like an internal gauntlet has been laid down to see how many seconds you could shave off your time, if you just played it one more time. Yeah, one more. Thats all. Okay ONE more. All right ONE MORE TIME. Just once. Okay, I promise. Just one more......WARNING!!!!!!! ITS MENTALLY ADDICTIVE. In a good way.

Very cool...

...way to have your kids pass time waiting in line or to keep them occupied.

beware you need 2.2.1 to run this 2.2 not good enough

In the app description it says you need 2.2.1 like most people I know my phone says 2.2 (in itunes and on phone) always good enough it the past. well not anymore the developer says "you are running iPhone OS 2.2. It is stated on the Pickin Stix product page, your phone needs to be running the latest 2.2.1 (5H11) ". I usually upgrade on major release and am not going to upgrade my phone with every minor release as its usually not worth the problems you can get from apple. Now I have to worry about developers creating software that will only run on a particular minor release, dont think so. Looks like the app store is on a down hill slide, most folks will not deal with figuring out which minor release they need for which app. They got my $.99 , I consider it a cheap lesson.

a whole new world

Pickin Stix: Great sound affects. Easy to control. Fun to play. Very colorful. Just like the real game. Im hooked on this colorful kid friendly game. At first I was scared to buy this. I thought it would crash have jitters and tons of bugs but I was wrong. My family and I are going on a family road trip on Sunday Ill be sure to be playing this the whole way there. The reason why is because IM HOOKED! Reveiw by Ricky Bibb 

Mindless Fun

Very simple mindless game. Great time burner. Allows you to put things back in order and there is ONLY ONE RIGHT WAY. Buy it and feed your inner OCD child.

Eye training

Keeps you on your toes-er-fingers.
