Wood Shop Reviews

by Belden B

I loved playing this game over the past year. Some updates have been great but other’s have taken away some good content to the game. I recently updated to the latest version and upon opening WoodShop , I loved what I seen with the new updates BUT once I tried to start playing it froze and crashed. I reopened WoodShop and nothing was visible, none of the stages could be seen, no buttons. I tried killing WoodShop then reopening but nothing worked so I decided to delete WoodShop and reinstall it. I hated to do this because I passed every stage but since it wouldn’t work this was my only solution. I deleted WoodShop , downloaded it again, opened it I and everything was visible but I had to start over and once I started to carve a lot, it froze again and will not work AGAIN!! Please fix this, I really would love to play this game again and see what new content was added.

The game was oddly satisfying. It’s very fun chipping away at wood, and then sanding and painting it. Unfortunately, it seemed like there was an ad between every step of every level and between levels! Basically any time there was a transition they threw an ad in. Levels take less than a minute to complete so you’ll end up watching more ads than actually playing the game. Also, I saw another review mention this too so I know it wasn’t something I messed up, but sometimes after the ad is done it loses my progress and I have to start the level over. Not too big of a deal when the levels are short but knowing I’ll have to watch an ad again when I progress to the same point in 15 seconds was enough for me to delete WoodShop . Sorry. Great idea, super fun, ads ruined it completely.

I downloaded this game from an ad on Facebook. It’s a very fun game however, you’re going to have ads shoved down your throat the entire experience. Want to start a project? Watch an ad. Want to go to the next step of your project after chipping away? Watch an ad. Want to paint the project? Watch an ad. Want the coins you earned or the prize you earned for doing that project? Watch an ad. Want to do a special project with ice or metal that they’ll randomly have pop up after every project is competed? Watch another ad. How extremely annoying! I enjoyed when I did get to play the game however I’m deleting it because I’m sick of the numerous ads just to even go to the next step of the whole project and to earn coins.

There are ads after every level and even during each level. Absolutely ridiculous. It’s a shame because the game is quite soothing. I enjoy playing it but it’s not worth it with all the ads. And I’m not even against ads. I understand free games need apps to make revenue but the amount of ads in this game just insane. I could understand an ad after each level but multiple ads throughout the level is over kill. There are plenty of free games out there with a reasonable amount of ads. There’s no need to have this many ads. I’m deleting the game even though I like it because I refuse to support a game that doesn’t care at all about the player enjoying the game. Do yourself a favor and don’t bother downloading this game.

This game is fun to play and is a good way to relax and pass time. However, it glitches wayyyy to much. There are ads that won’t go away unless you close out of WoodShop , and after I finish a piece, the play button disappears and I have to completely close WoodShop In order to go to the next one and that’s supper annoying. I also can’t redo any pieces nor can I get into the special rooms. WoodShop was good until there were three new rooms added. Instead of getting rid of bugs, even worse ones were added. And on top of that, why is there and ad after everything I do. I click play, there’s an ad, I finish carving, there’s an ad, I finish sanding, there’s an ad, I finish painting , there’s and ad, I click done to go back to the home page, THERE’S A FLIPPING AD. There is no need for all of those ads, they prevent me from actually enjoying the game as much as I want to.

The mechanics of the game do, as stated, work in a satisfying way but is a blatant cash grab. WoodShop includes advertisement each time you complete a level, which takes an average of 1-2 minutes to complete.

If WoodShop did not have as frequent advertisements, it would have potential to hook people. Instead of the common and unoriginal idea of condensing as many of these ads in as possible, in-app purchases such as a shop for extra downloadable content (e.g., Mini-games, storyline, free play mode with a shop, etc.) could be implemented to create a much more appealing experience.

The reason that I gave this two stars is because I agree with the fact that this is addictive and satisfying (or at least addictive because it is satisfying). It is also a creative approach to a mobile game, but is ruined by the minimal effort put into the building of it.

I have been playing this game and I completed all of the levels but there’s a certain few that it is literally impossible to get 100% on. The thing is, if you wanna keep playing and you keep pressing play it’ll take you to the levels you scored the lowest so you can try to get it up. Which is fine. I’m fine with that. What I’m not fine with is trying every possible way to cut this ONE STUPID SHAPE to get it to 100% and I’m literally stuck at 98 no matter what I do and the bottom of the stupid thing has some wood that needs to be chopped off, but as soon as you get close enough to cut one layer, it cuts into the shape. And believe me, I have been very careful. But I can’t just go without it and hope the sanding does the job for me because that’s worse. Seriously. Make. This. Game. Possible. At the very least make my stupid tools cut where they say they are

Mk I only write reviews (wich isn’t often) when the game is rlly rlly RLLY good of rlly rlly rlly REALLLYYYY bad in this case you read the title and u already know it’s bad 👎. I love this game it’s just whenever I’m trying to play and I press the done button it gives me an ad and sometimes it restarts the whole thing! Can you please please PLEASE not put so many ads at the end of almost everything?!?! I like this game and if others play it there will be a lot of ads and that may cause hate. I know that if I get a free game like this there will be ads, but in this case there’s TO many ads! I saw every single review and almost all of them are about the ads! If you want people to get this game you should tone down ur ad problem cause it’s obvious y’all have a ad addiction. :l Sooooo yea if you read this I hope you understand everyone’s problems and just tone it down ok? It doesn’t need to have so many ads. Thanks

I like this game it’s fun and entertaining. There is only 1 problem, the tools are way to small. And when I use them, they have a bumpy texture if I use it fast. Also, I feel like there could be more of a variety of tools to use. To me three isn’t enough. Sorry😐. Another thing is, the painting. When u paint all you have to do is apply the paint on to the carving. I say that there should be a variety of paint and the player has to match. And here is what I like about the game. I like how it shows you what you have to make with the colors too. I also like the undo option. Just wish you had a longer time to click it. Thanks to who every made this game.
Just would love it even more if you could fix my problems. Thanks again!

First off when I got the game I thought I would really like it then I started to play it and relies that had to make it match perfectly to the picture above like game dev if you’re gonna make a game give let us have free will and have fun! Secondly there were way to many advertisements, when I finished one of the wood carvings a stupid advertisement would pop up in my face and I know this is a thing with all free games but it literally happened one after another! It was like, I finish a carving advertisement, I finish a carving advertisement!I finish a carving ADVERTISEMENT! Third is the fact that it looks like a crappy rip-off and it doesn’t just look like one I mean it freezes a lot. This game is a classic “not-actually-a-truth-telling-game” but I wanna stop being negative it was pretty good at first and it could do better in the future maybe still it’s pretty bad but it’s also kinda good.

I really enjoy this game! It’s very satisfying and a great way to spend time. The only thing is that there are way too many ads. I know that free apps need to have some advertisements, but you literally cannot do a level without watching 2 (longish) ads. Also, there are a lot of bugs. For one, when you complete fire mode it says “good job on completing ice mode” and vis versa. Also, you don’t get money from the pieces you make. It says you get a certain number of coins, but it doesn’t add them to your account. Also, I’m pretty sure there are some levels where you can’t get 100%. I think the percentage is randomized, too. I’ve never gotten below a 90%, and one time I chopped off a big chunk but still got a 96%. So overall I would say good game but there still is a lot of work to be done.
(Also, there are around 125 levels in the game if you’re curious)

It is a great game to play. I have enjoyed it. However, it would be nice if it could rotate when chiseling the end pieces. That would make it a little easier to see some of the fine tuning.

I find too that it freezes often when chiseling which causes me to have to restart because when it finishes glitching, it has gone too far into the wood piece. I agree with another person on the painting aspect. It would also be nice to be able to zoom in and out as well as rotating and being able to angle the view.

One other thing. I have a lot of pieces at 100%. And a few at 99 and 98%. I am finding it very difficult on a few pieces to get more than that even though I am being very meticulous with it. The finished product look identical to what it is supposed to. I can’t see any differences.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~DISCLAIMER~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is my opinion and what I have experienced and read from others.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*I like this game but as you read it’s not winter...(sorry for the puns..). It freezes on me too much which makes it less fun and relaxing to me. There is special levels but I cannot do them as it freezes. This is why I rate it three stars ✨. I have read that many...many people say it freezes too much. I agree ,it does to which I have begun to think about deleting it. The recent update, what did you fix; What “bug” did you fix? The only bug I see is the freezing. Before the update it didn’t freeze ,but after it did? Please explain to me why that is..! Don’t think I’m hating on you.. I’m just telling my opinion and what I think. Please ,please ,please fix the bug! If you do I may rate it to four stars ✨⭐️.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~RECOMMENDATION~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*I suggest you fix the freezing and you should listen to the people that are reviewing this game. Take in what they are saying and if you can fix it!

Boy, do I have some things to say about WoodShop. Good and bad. Ok so the game it self is fun and very addictive. But there is just 3 things that tick me off. (to the literal point I want to delete WoodShop 🙄) 1. THE ADS! It's not that there are a lot of ads just the fact that they pop up at the worst times. 2. The tools! The tool work well except for the triangle type shaped one. It carves all in the wrong places all the time. 3. "that one add" Ok so you may not know this but when you get on WoodShop it is supposed to show you 3 buttons. Challenges, Start, and Shop. Well the shop button is always covered by this frickin ad! And I can't get it off. Do it keeps me from being able to buy absolutely anything! And I have 23 thousand dollars and i can't use it.

by Jazzy_Styles

The new update made it to where I can’t do anything else and it’s just frozen on a certain screen and you have to do that one wood and it’s just frozen but still will work just not like it’s supposed to do though like when you all done carving it and painting it and you hit done it won’t let you do anything after that. I don’t know what to do it’s being stupid. I don’t want to uninstall it then reinstall it because then it’ll delete all the data/works that I’ve done and I don’t want to do it all over again. Can someone please tell me how to fix it or do something?

by JesseR19xx

Firstly I’d like to say this is a great game! Definitely helps past the time if you’ve got nothing better to do! However while playing and unlocking new things I’ve noticed a few issues I hope to see changed in the future.

- As you get deeper into the game you can buy new materials like blue wood. While this is a cool feature, when using the blue wood you can’t see the white outlines which is kind of annoying and pushes me from using anything that’s not the wood you start out with in the beginning.

- Once the piece is chiseled out and sanded the fun is over. Painting isn’t fun at all because you just move the brush up and down the piece and the game picks and switches colors for you. Personally I think it’d be more fun to be able to switch between a few colors and be able to actually mess the paint up, making painting more challenging for the player.

- Lastly, this game simply lacks levels. I’ve been playing for maybe a week now and I’m done with everything! All pieces 100%! Hopefully they add more levels and maybe make them a little more challenging so the game actually lasts a decent amount of time.

I really like this game I really do it’s satisfying, relaxing, and most of all it’s very creative but it could use some changes..and by “some” I mean a lot. The first and most obvious complaint is the ADS because every time I say I’m done there is a really long ad which annoys me a lot. Second reason is the fact that you have to make it perfect in order to get a good amount of money. The last thing is the smoothing because it takes FOREVER to smooth it out enough and I think we can all agree that nobody has time for that. It’s a really good game like I said it’s satisfying, relaxing, and very creative but but it could really use those changes to make it more of a popular game

I absolutely love WoodShop, it is so calming and I’ve been playing so much since I got WoodShop a few days ago. However, I am on level 90 and have been having a hard time on trimming excess wood off of the side where the guide lines end. Ive tried many different strategies and most of the time (sometimes it’s ok) the tools will not cut the extra wood and as I SLOWLY move inwards more it will cut off wayy too much, bringing down my percent to 99 or 98. I say most of the time because sometimes it trims just fine, but I am finding that isn’t the case often as well. — Also if I leave a little tiny bit of wood outside the guide lines that also brings down my percent so its either that or the over trimming I was mentioning so it would be great if that could be fixed:)

by Crus8der09

Ok grabbed this game surprisingly from an advertisement and thought that something different. To my amazement I really really really like the game but progress is hindered because WoodShop randomly opens advertisements while carving then I get a open failed error and have to restart. I have uninstalled about 5 times now with the same result. My next issue is on some advertisements that just don’t allow you to go back in the game without closing.

Like I said I like the game and so far things move fluently. I am not a wood turner but this game is calming I think because you concentrate to reproducing the shape you see as close as possible. Which at least helps me relieve stress.

In all the game would be a 5 star because I have nothing to compare it to that I have played but the constant restarts are annoying.

I love the game, and hopefully they add more levels, but at the end you go back to the levels that you didn’t do as good in and it doesn’t let you skip the level, there’s this one level it’s a dumbbell weights, you craft the dumbbell weights perfectly, you sand the dumbbell weights perfectly but, there is NO way, its IMPOSSIBLE to paint the dumbbell weights perfectly, because somehow you need to paint the very top and, the very bottom of the dumbbell weights to get a good score. The best score you can get is 98% you can’t get 99% or 100% it’s IMPOSSIBLE, and like I said you cannot skip levels meaning it repeats the level over and over and over and over and over again, which is annoying I don’t want to do the same level over and over again, please fix this problem.
