Pawn Shop Master Reviews

by Dynamitegal27

To start off, this game could have been good. Could have. Interesting concept I guess, and I kind of enjoyed the game. But there are problems. The biggest is adds. All the time you have to watch adds! And every, oh, I don’t know, 3 TURNS a burglar demands you watch an add or you go broke. And say you watch the 30 second add plus 15 seconds of saying “click here” and giving the illusion that it’s playable? Then you can have another add! But we’re not monsters, so we’ll just make it 10-20 seconds! After all, maybe we should squeeze some game time in there! It’s just stupid. And the game itself? It gets sooo boring. Seriously, it’s practically three things. Holding your finger to the phone to dust, swiping your finger to choose if you should scam this person or let them scan you, and call the police on someone whenever the wind blows. Woop-de-doo! An app well deserving of 4.4 stars! Quick question. How many bots did you have to hire for fake reviews? PawnShopMaster is also terribly glitchy, so say you aren’t getting bombarded with adds, you can’t play the crap game because your screen freezes. And it’s not cause you have a bad phone, because if you bothered reading reviews, others agree! There was potential. Just for a second, when your intern came up with the idea. But then the fun and creativity was sucked out of it. Why do I still have PawnShopMaster ? Why are you considering getting PawnShopMaster if your reading this? Save yourself time and get rid of this trash.

There’s absolutely no way the positive reviews aren’t bots. Read through some and see all the realistic reviews are 1-2 stars.

This game is literally nothing but ads. Want to increase the value of something for no reason? Watch an ad. Want to just buy it anyways without the value increase? Watch an ad. Want to polish something? Watch an ad. Day is over, want to double your profit? Watch an ad. Just want to continue without watching the ad? PSYCH, watch an ad.

What an absolute joke of a “game.”

Save yourself the 5 minutes you’ll spend playing this game, 4 minutes of which are watching ads, and play literally anything else instead. Disappointed I let them make their sweet sweet couple dollars off me in the 50 ads I probably watched trying to even get through the first couple days of the game.

I’d give this cash grab 0 stars if I could.

(Btw, there’s random robberies and the game aggressively pushes a $2 IAP “security system” that prevents robberies. Oh also, if you want to get past the robber taking all your money you have to, guess what, watch an ad)

I downloaded PawnShopMaster and played for about an hour. I got fed up with ads and bought the no ads bundle they offered for $5. It’s $5, whatever, right? Well after I played for a few more rounds I was ready to get some sleep so I closed it. I reopened it now to try to play more - things are a little off. My level is correct but I can’t collect any money from sales. If I choose to purchase something, it subtracts the amount from my available funds but the customer still stays there and keeps asking me if I want to buy the item. I deleted PawnShopMaster and redownloaded it to see if it was just a cache issue or something, but now the ads are back. I hit the restore button but I’m at level 1 again. I can’t even tell if it at least removed the ads because I was so put off being reset to 1 that I closed PawnShopMaster . Buggier than any mobile game has a right to be.

So this is the second time I downloaded this game and I still can’t play this game!!! So I am on a IPad mini and I cant open the game, so basically I click on it then it just Pops me out. So I never got to play or even see the home screen of the game, all I just see is a grey screen before I get pop out. Now here’s the lie the game is playing its says it’s compatible with a I pad now that’s when I decided “oh hey look at this they fixed my problem because this is now my second time writing a review and a few months later look at this they still haven’t fixed it. And I may be lucky because I saw some reviews that say there are to many ads, now I can’t back that up because like I said I never even got to see the home screen of PawnShopMaster . So even if that is true they should at least make it that we can actually play the game and not waste their money on ads

The game is pretty straight forward. You get customers to come in and sell you their stuff, swipe to accept or deny the offer, polish it, stick it on the shelf and wait for a customer to buy the item on your shelf or quick sell it. Honestly, it would get rather dull... that is, if you get a chance to play the game... the reviews weren’t kidding, there are an insane amount of ads. I usually don’t mind watching some to support game devs but, this is ridiculous. I had to disconnect from the internet in order to actually play. I suggest you guys cut down on the pop ups and keep the incentive ads. Also, you guys should add at least a barter system and/or chanced items, as in, the scanner can’t detect the items and it’s up to you if you choose to buy it or not. It could be fake or real. I think that would make this game more interesting. As for now, it’s a 1 star game for me, sorry.

Do not even try to play this game a ad pops up litterly every 30 sec and after a while that gets very annoying very quickly I mean how do you expect people to have fun on this and want to play it when you can’t because of stupid ads always poping up I see more ads then I do getting to play the game and some of the ads are over a minute long and they force you to sit there through it and watch I do recommend this game to those that hate ads but other then that I do like the game but seriously you should make it to were ads pop up way less and to were you can skip immediately this is why I deleted the game you are not selling nothing more then a game full of ads and no one likes that I would have given a five star but you got 1 instead because of to many ads I would consider this advice

by Reviewer 598

I saw this game in an ad so I desired to try it because I was pretty bored at the time and it did seem interesting. I was able to buy every single “upgrade” within probably 15 minutes of playing. The upgrades was just a way to put in more ads and make more money. They advertised this game which is clearly not ready for release. You have people coming in asking to buy items that you have never seen before and sometimes you go a whole day without anybody selling anything to you at all. Poor coding/planning on the devs part. I would not recommend you waste your time with this game unless you plan on watching ads for half the time and playing the game for 15 minutes to then have no progression system since you will have bought everything already.

*tap* AD *tap* AD *tap* AD *tap* AD *tap* AD *tap* AD *tap* AD *tap* AD *tap* AD *tap* AD Hopefully you get the idea. The game would be great for idle playing if there weren’t SO MANY GOSHDARN ADS. I don't review apps very often but I feel like this is a special case. You’ll see this game in an ad (most likely in another game) and say to yourself wow... I’ve seen that so many times I might want to try it. So you download it. I’m going to tell you right now this game is a waste of your time. You're wasting your storage space, unless you’re looking for an app that gives suggestions for better games with less ads, then definitely get PawnShopMaster! But as soon as you find a game don’t give the developers the satisfaction of making money off of your misery. I promise there are better ways to spend your time.

This game is fun to an extent. Every time I get about 1000 dollars, a robber comes in and tries to take my money. I can watch an ad (not to mention it glitches out) but what’s the point? You can’t progress in the game if every time you get money, the choice is “watch an ad” or “give robber the money” that is so stupid. No game should do this. And even when you swipe out the game, it doesn’t get the robber to go away. So I’m stuck with him and I have no money left. You shouldn’t have added that to the game so that you could get a little extra money from ads. It’s crap. That’s stupid. No other game goes “here’s money you’ve earned, now you can keep it by watching an ad, or give it to a robber and NOT DIE???” WHAT??! That is bull. I’m deleting the game.

by Ya Boy Pap

If I could give it negative stars I would. First off, the ads are absolutely ridiculous. Worst part is the robber that comes in every three levels. You can either pay him or watch an ad??????????????????????????????????????? No other options for the robber just those two??????? I’m not watching a 30 second ad just to save money in the game??? Like just take the money I don’t care about the game or developers at all. I will not give them revenue through ads. It is a blatant cash grab and the developers should have consequences for how awful this game is. For anyone that sees this review, DO NOT GET THIS GAME! I uninstalled after 30 minutes. These developers should be kicked off PawnShopMaster Store. Thieves is what they are.

I was interested in this game but there are lots of bugs lying around. For instance, an object came with a price with 800 bucks on sixth day. When I tried to accept the offer, money animation appeared, money decreased from wallet but the seller was still there. I tried accepting multiple times until I got bankrupt, rejected unwillingly. Then a robber came and I couldn’t pay him the money he asked for. Then I killed PawnShopMaster and restarted. Now my money is fixed to 1000 and doesn’t increase or decrease anymore. I cannot buy anything either. And there is no possible way to start over without deleting PawnShopMaster . I’m about to do this and won’t install again for some time.

by Demirae94

This would honestly be a really fun game if you didn’t need to watch an advertisement every time you try to do something. It’s obvious that instead of trying to make a game that people would enjoy for a long time, the creators threw it together rather quickly and did everything they could to add adverts everywhere. I get that they want to make money. But dang! The only way to move forward in the game is to watch 20 ads per round.

It would also be nice if we could organize our products on the shelves so that we can keep track of what we have. It’s getting annoying having to scroll through all the shelves to look for other matching items.

I’m going to play the Pawn Stars game instead. It’s more user-friendly and you can tell that they genuinely wanted to make a fun game

I just downloaded this game. I have played it for literally ten minutes. The game seems interesting, but there is an ad popping up every other time I click something. And, sometimes, I don’t even know something I’m going to click is going to cause an ad to pop up; the ads are not quiet, either. It’s 3:00am and I had a loud ad play and had to turn my phone down to keep playing. I tried, but you can barely play the game as there’s so many ads. I’m quite sure I spent more time watching ads than playing the game, and every ad is 20 seconds or longer. I saw a “no ad” offer, but since I could barely play the game to see IF I even wanted to continue playing it, I’ll pass. I’m confused how this game had such a high rating when ads are literally half of the game. No, thanks.

This Game would be ok if there was changes to the items because it gets SO repetitive. A thief is always the last person to come in for the day, you get robbed and have to either pay money or watch an ad to make him go away. I use an ad blocker so the ads don't show up but when it's off, the ads are every other second. TOO MANY ADS!!!! Also, there's an issue when someone brings an item in, it shows they are asking $10,000 and on your screen it shows it's worth $90,000 so you buy the item only to see that it was actually $100,000. Don't know why they don't fix this.. this is a reoccurring issue. The game would be so much better if there were more variety in items. It gets old after a few rounds.

by Blake Christensen

It’s set up so every round, a robber comes in and takes much if not all your profit for that round and you have to watch an ad to kill him. The problem is, I live in the Carolina mountains, a notorious low Wi-Fi/service zone and need to turn on data to access the internet. Since i don’t want to use data on mobile games, i turn it off to play this game. However, it’s impossible to progress and I’ve made 1000$ in game currency in 30 minutes and as the robber scales in late game areas to take more and more money, I’ve started to lose money. This is the same as all the other mobile games with aggressive ad placement but more clever as to disguise it. At least it has an inkling of personality.

As you can tell by the title, I love it even though I’ve been playing for like 3 minutes. Also, comment on Reeder’s review, if you’re on a mobile device, pull down on the top right corner of the screen and click the airplane symbol. It's Airplane Mode. It will automatically disconnect from internet. No internet, no ads. I’m terribly sorry if you cannot do that. If not, you can still do it in Settings.

Edit: I change my rating from five stars to three stars because on day 1 level 5, I found the bad guy except the button that says Call Police keeps disappearing and when it does appear it won’t let me click on it.

by Magookie

I don’t know if it’s like my location or something else but none of the ads will play for me. I’ve clicked the purple video button (which I assume is the ad button) to try and watch ads to make more money but an ad never plays. Maybe you have to be connected to WiFi for it to work? Also which there was a bit of a guide to tell you what’s going on, sometimes buttons just don’t seem to work, like I’ll click the wanted button but nothing will come up until the game is done showing me (swipe left to reject, swipe right to accept...or call the cops). Only when the game shows the button itself it seems does the option appear. I do like the game though, but because of the issue with the ads, I now can’t progress because I don’t have enough money to give the criminal 🤣

by Cuteone16

I really like this game, but there is so much going on around the side of the screen and the bottom too. There are also WAY too many ads I would just like to play the game but ads keep popping up. I know I can pay for the ad free game, but I don’t want to pay for no ads so if there weren’t ads and so much going on, then this game would be rated five stars from me.

by Djcioxangs

Honestly, I like PawnShopMaster . I recently hit #1 in the world (or so I think) and i’ve been having a blast. There is one thing that people are complaining about, though. There are WAY too many ads. I understand that they need to profit/make money off of PawnShopMaster but an ad every 30 seconds is going to make people not want to play your game at all. I personally turn Airplane mode on while I play, as I simply cannot deal with the ads. Give less ads and I’ll give you your revenue, but for now; i’m using Airplane mode.

by Qwetru,yfgjfdtjrsrsyrsmysr

I know some of you think there are to many ads but seriously there aren’t, if it is a problem don’t delete PawnShopMaster just turn off WiFi and avoid ads. But I’ll get more into the game so that it isn’t about fixing “problems”. I love PawnShopMaster because it is super cool to make bargains and see what you can pay for something that costs a lot of money! There aren’t a lot of ads for me but like I said just turn of WiFi so you don’t waste money or delete a good app. They also don’t bug you after one customer to rate PawnShopMaster which I like a lot because I like to play a bit before them asking, so when they asked after 4 - 6 customers I got really happy and made me like it a bit more. (I know I’m weird about that) but I have recommended PawnShopMaster to 9 of my friends and they all downloaded it and they love it! I do recommend PawnShopMaster it is super fun and enjoyable!
