4.5 out of 5

This seems really bogus

2022-06-06

This is my first time writing a review for anything. I was so delighted to find HiddenPicturesPuzzlePlay. Highlights was something I used to always enjoy as a child and the fact that I found HiddenPicturesPuzzlePlay to play as many puzzle games as a I wanted seemed so much fun. It’s been over a week I haven’t been able to even open HiddenPicturesPuzzlePlay . It just shuts out by itself. When I looked up the application on HiddenPicturesPuzzlePlay Store it said it had to be updated (which I did). And guess what? The freakin app still didn’t load. If I don’t get a reasonable explanation as to why this BS is happening I will unhappily unsubscribe from this application.

Worst App Ever, Thieves and NO CONTACT

2022-07-07

This is a worthless app, it doesn’t work and then they steal your money. You can email the developer but they never respond and their policy does not allow refunds. DO NOT PURCHASE unless you need a nightlight because it just shows a perpetual white screen when it opens. I closed HiddenPicturesPuzzlePlay , uninstalled and when I tried to log back in, my password did not work. I put in my email address to get a link to reset my password and the email never arrived. What a joke app! Too bad you are not a person who can be criminally prosecuted for theft. I will call and write letters until I receive a response.

Don’t waste your time!

2022-08-08

HiddenPicturesPuzzlePlay/game is a JOKE! I got this after enjoying a book version but was VERY disappointed to find out I could only play a limited amount WITHOUT paying a monthly or yearly subscription! I am opposed to paying to USE an app/game that is FREE to download! I have NEVER paid to download an app so why would I pay to use/play HiddenPicturesPuzzlePlay /game? As soon as I did all of the free stuff I promptly deleted it! Don’t waste your time with this unless you want to pay, otherwise its a waste!

Update (following your response): Having “free daily puzzles” DOES NOT resolve anything! What if I had already finished all the free stuff & don’t want to stop playing? I don’t have a choice WITHOUT PAYING & I had ALREADY CLEARLY STATED that I am NOT PAYING to play HiddenPicturesPuzzlePlay /game! What part of that is so hard for you to understand?

Very Unhappy!

2022-09-09

I love the puzzles, was excited to download HiddenPicturesPuzzlePlay and happy to pay the annual subscription fee. But I’ve had HiddenPicturesPuzzlePlay for only a couple of weeks and this is the fourth time it’s crashed. Every time it gets to a certain number of new puzzles it crashes and I have to delete HiddenPicturesPuzzlePlay and re-install. I lose all of those puzzles and end up re-doing the same puzzles from scratch again and again. Enough already! There are enough of the same complaints being written - why can’t you fix this problem? This would be 5 stars plus, but I have to rate it a zero because of the constant crash problem. Please fix it so I can keep playing.

I have received no new puzzles in over a year

2022-10-10

I purchased a subscription for the grandkids and it was a great purchase for about a year. Now it’s been over a year and I’ve continued to pay in hopes a glitch would get fixed and restore all the purchases I’ve made. Yes, I have clicked the “restore” button. I don’t want to delete HiddenPicturesPuzzlePlay and re-install because it would erase the 100s of puzzles the kids have completed. I also don’t want to delete my subscription because I would be out all the money I’ve paid and getting nothing for it. I cannot get a hold of any support or customer service to address my issue so I had to include it in a review. If there’s any way Highlights could restore my purchases and guarantee I would receive new puzzles OR support to contact if I don’t then I would continue my monthly subscription.
Thank you,

Good but Frustrating

2022-11-11

I gave HiddenPicturesPuzzlePlay 2 stars because I have been trying to get new puzzles for seven to eight months, to no avail. My subscription is thru Apple. I checked it and it shows that the monthly subscription fee has been paid every month, but I can’t seem to get any new puzzles. I have tried deleting HiddenPicturesPuzzlePlay and reinstalling it several times and still get no new puzzles. I’ve even tried logging into my Hidden Pictures account from the web and I still only get old content, which I have played all of them more than once. When you can get new app content, HiddenPicturesPuzzlePlay is awesome and fun to play. Unfortunately, I’m going to have to cancel my subscription because I’m paying for the subscription every month but unable to get new content.

Beware!

2022-12-12

Super fun game that both my daughter and I enjoy. But it keeps crashing every couple of weeks. And then when you reinstall all progress is lost and you are back to day one. This has been going on for about a year now. Every now and then I pop back in to see if it has been fixed, but no. Recently reached out to app support and they suggested that I create an account so that I at least don’t lose my progress. Did that and the next day, back to square one again, all progress lost. The only reason it gets 2 stars is bc unless you have a crazy good memory you can redo the puzzles, but even I have redone some of them enough I’m starting to remember where the items are hidden.

Enjoy the game but it needs some QC

2023-01-13

I really enjoy this game, but there are a couple of issues that need to be addressed. There are some levels that have items just out of view (at least on my iPad screen) or items that don’t register as found if you click on them. My biggest frustration is that HiddenPicturesPuzzlePlay seems to crash after every iOS update. I did a soft reset on my device and that did not fix the issue- the game continued to crash every time I tried to open it. I had to delete it from my device and download it again. I was able to restore my purchase and access the different levels BUT ALL of my progress was gone. It was very frustrating to have to start at the very beginning again and not have access to the levels that I had previously unlocked. For the price, I think these quality control issues need to be corrected.

I agree fun and frustrating

2023-02-14

I agree with others who have commented. Myself and my 7 year old love playing HiddenPicturesPuzzlePlay unfortunately HiddenPicturesPuzzlePlay will just stop working after awhile. I have reinstalled HiddenPicturesPuzzlePlay twice and each time it will work very well and then all of a sudden you can’t get back in HiddenPicturesPuzzlePlay . Seems like this is a problem that’s been going on for a while and hasn’t been fixed. I have canceled my subscription but will check back at another time to see if they have figured out the glitch. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because of the glitch.

Great game but not worth paying for!

2023-03-15

I enjoyed Highlights magazine throughout my childhood so I didn’t hesitate to subscribe to play this game. It was great at first but now it continues to crash. When I delete HiddenPicturesPuzzlePlay and download it again, all of my progress is gone. Even if I sign in, my progress is not there. I don’t like having to redo the same pictures over and over. If I’m paying for something, I expect acceptable quality. There are also a few boards with glitches where the item isn’t even visible in the picture unless you use the hint button, then it magically appears on the screen. Good app, needs work, not worth paying for. I’m deleting for good since it crashed again for the 3rd time and didn’t save anything.

Not enough puzzles

2023-04-16

What happens when you’ve played all the puzzles? Am I not doing something right? Do you just get only the daily puzzle from then on out? And as far as I can tell, the daily puzzle is usually one I’ve played in the 125 puzzles. I’ve played the race type puzzles too, even though I’m not really fond of that type. I loved the magazine when I was younger.
Yes, I’m an adult now ...
But still love “seek and find puzzles “ plus I was hoping that my Granddaughter and I could enjoy these together. I don’t see her that often so paying for a monthly membership just doesn’t make sense...
Please let me know if I’m missing something... I can be technologically inept sometimes...🤔
I would rate it 5 stars ✨ if there are more puzzles

Good game. Fun but frustrating

2023-05-17

I like the game but my one complaint would be that it crashes more than any app I’ve EVER had. Very frustrating. I’ve had to delete and install it several times. I’ve had to start over because the first time didn’t save my progress )I almost quit then. Maybe should have) I’m about to do it again because it just crashed but it’s going to be the last time I do this
And now after reading the other reviews it is CLEARLY an ongoing problem that they can’t seem to fix and obviously don’t care to fix. Just get your money and go right? I’m sorry but all other apps manage to make it work. AND you are charging for this? The more I type the more frustrated I get so I’ll stop.

Issues with landscape or Portrait View

2023-06-18

Hello, few things, (1) I click on the “APP SUPPORT”, it takes me to your website, tried sending the email. I get an error. (2) My main reason for trying to get a hold of support: I like using my iPad in landscape, especially since I have it attached to the magic keyboard. I open HiddenPicturesPuzzlePlay , right away it switches to portrait view, okay, thats fine, but as soon as I chose a puzzle, it then switches to the landscape view. Really don’t like the back and forth, any updates or plans to fix this issue.

It stops working

2023-07-19

I love playing with HiddenPicturesPuzzlePlay, but for the second time it has quit working. When I try to open it the icon starts to open but the disappears. I reinstalled it the first time but lost all the new puzzles I had unlocked. Frustrating. Now it has stopped for the third time. It usually happens after an IOS update. It didn’t work for a couple of months then magically came back to life. It was a whole new version, but with the same puzzles. Then after an update it is back to disappearing after the loading screen.

Great, but crashing with update

2023-08-20

I am an SLP and the kids I work with have really enjoyed playing this during our virtual sessions. But, I just updated my iPad, and now HiddenPicturesPuzzlePlay is crashing! I’ve already tried reinstalling, and it’s still not working. It is a bit frustrating to pay for a subscription and have it be useless when there’s an iOS update.

Hidden objects

2023-09-21

Love the game even as an adult. But it does keep crashing.
If they can come up with such picture games they could at least fix the crashing problem. You have to delete game the reinstall and sometimes it lets you sign into your account other times it doesn’t.
If you pay for a year you should be able to play without it crashing every other week!
Please fix this game

Not a fan of the update

2023-10-22

I’m a paying subscriber, and the quality of the art and the puzzles, not to mention the large number of puzzles, makes HiddenPicturesPuzzlePlay completely worth the cost.

The recent update, however, makes gameplay frustrating. The additional white space around the clues and the thick blue bar that JUST holds the home button means there is a lot less room for the image. There is now no reasonable way to look for clues without significantly zooming in. It’s just far less enjoyable. And did you make the clue button larger? It, too, seems to be covering up more of the puzzle.

Also, the interface cuts off the very left edge of the image, which is an issue when that is the location of one of the items you’re looking for.

I’d love an option to make the icons smaller (in fact, I try to solve the whole puzzle without looking at the list!)

Best Game Ever!!!!!

2023-11-23

This is the BEST game of ALL the game apps that I’ve ever played! I’m so addicted! This Hidden Puzzle Game was made so well! The items are so cleverly hidden in the awesome art work. I only found this game app through my son’s hidden puzzle book & thought I’d give it a try since we have so much fun finding the hidden puzzles together. It’s really a FUN game for all ages. So worth the prescription. I would really recommend it & I never right reviews but it’s just so good that I had let people know.

Nostalgia!!

2023-12-24

This is a long one so bare with me, I RARELY leave reviews, but I feel like its necessary for this game. I’m an 18 year old college student and I ADORE THIS GAME!!! Growing up all throughout elementary i would always rush to finish my assignment so that my teacher could give me a highlights magazine. I used to steal them and take them home because i was so obsessed with them. I was so excited to see that this was still a thing, and in application form. Everything is just as fun as I remember, and they’re still challenging which I love. I’m a huge fan of ‘I-Spy’ type games so I consider myself to be pretty good, so I was worried this would be too easy. Not at all! Amazing game. Thank you so much!

Always loved hidden pics as a kid

2024-01-25

I got the subscription to use on my phone for my grandson. He’s 7 and loves doing hidden pic games with me. I always loved the magazine as a kid and found myself always doing the magazine in the doctors office with my kids when I had my own kids and they had appointments. The magazine was actually great for kids. But I’m super happy you did the hidden pics games on phones for kids. It’s great! And I actually find myself doing them if I’m waiting for an appointment and have a few minutes to kill. I don’t always want a fast paused game and this is perfect for me and my grandson on the way to school!! Thanks for making these on an app!! Just really good memories!

Doesn’t work

2024-11-15

Purchased the one year subscription for my daughter. I had to delete and download twice. It still will not work. We did not get the 125 instant puzzles. Every time I click on something it asks if I want to sign up. Very frustrating and I will be canceling my subscription.

Disappointing

2024-11-15

HiddenPicturesPuzzlePlay was great until it crashed. I had to delete it and download again only for it to not recognize me and the progress I’d made. It wouldn’t identify my email, even after emailing me a password reset. Also wouldn’t restore from my Apple ID. I’m disappointed and frustrated after loving these puzzles as a kid.

Update Broke the App

2024-11-15

The latest update broke HiddenPicturesPuzzlePlay for me. It opens to a screen wanting me to purchase a subscription (we are already on the monthly plan), and there is no place to login to our existing account. When I click on restore it says there’s nothing to restore. When I X out of the screen, HiddenPicturesPuzzlePlay crashes. We cannot get to the puzzles anymore. Very dissatisfied.

Purchased but still only get 1 puzzle

2024-11-15

Purchased this game. Downloaded it, shows my account but still I’m only getting 1 game a day. Even tried the restore, delete and redownload, nothing works. Plus I purchased on a weekend so no tech support. Then I finally get to a website and to submit a ticket you have to enter your mailing address... for an APP! I’ll be refunding. No fun if you don’t get what you paid for. I expected more from Highlights.

Could be good

2024-11-15

When I first downloaded this game I thought it would be great but turns out you have to an expensive pay for a subscription or you only get one puzzle EVERY 24 HOURS. 😕 I would not recommend this game to anyone because honestly no one wants to pay for their kid to find objects hidden in a picture. I deleted this game for this reason. Sorry for the negative feedback but it needed to be said. Hope this changes in the future.

Liked the old app

2024-11-15

My daughter has the older version, which I had a subscription to. My son wanted it on his iPad, so I had to put the new version on his. Had to sign up for ANOTHER subscription, since it’s a different version. It won’t load the puzzles. It says I need a subscription, but when I try to buy a subscription it says I already have one, but won’t load the puzzles. Over and over... I’ve tried deleting HiddenPicturesPuzzlePlay and starting all over, all to no avail.

Great while it lasted

2024-11-15

I started and had a subscription for a few months with no problems. All of a sudden it wouldn’t open. I decided I probably needed to remove it and download again. Unfortunately, my email address wasn’t attached so I started over. After playing awhile yesterday, HiddenPicturesPuzzlePlay crashed. Following that it won’t open at all, even today. I’ve reloaded it and it’s still crashing after I’ve logged in. I canceled my subscription, but it’s super frustrating. 🙄

Something is wrong...

2024-11-15

I purchased the annual subscription because I didn’t want to wait 24 hrs for each puzzle. I wanted to do the puzzles whenever I wanted to but I still can’t get more than one puzzle a day. I tried to email the company but still haven’t heard...

Love the game, but keepsessing up after I get so far!!

2024-11-15

Yeah absolutely love this game although I must say it’s for “older” kids!! Also this is my third time downloading it cause it keeps getting stuck and then I lose all the progress I made!! That makes me really mad! So here I go for the 3rd time around on a game I have to pay for monthly that keeps shutting down on me!!

Keeps Crashing

2024-11-15

I absolutely LOVE HiddenPicturesPuzzlePlay. It’s very entertaining. However, I haven’t been able to use it for a couple of weeks. I’ll click on HiddenPicturesPuzzlePlay . It’ll load, then crash. The first time this happened, I deleted HiddenPicturesPuzzlePlay , downloaded it again and had to start from scratch. It’s disappointing because I paid for the year subscription and I haven’t been able to use it. I’m giving a three-star because when I’m able to use it it’s great. I just wish HiddenPicturesPuzzlePlay would work.

How to Cancel

2024-11-15

Unfortunately my granddaughter is too young for this. My mistake. I got it thinking she’d love it but my mistake. Trying to cancel but can’t find how on site or settings. Can you help. It’s really a marvelous activity if age appropriate. Thank you

Super fun!

2024-11-15

Great app! Super easy to use! They have made some really good app improvements over the years! Best yet!
