Jigsawscapes® - Jigsaw Puzzles Reviews

If there is one thing I can’t stand, it’s false advertising! The ad that prompted me to download this game said right in it “no annoying ads”. After playing one game, there was an ad for this very game in which it said “no anoying ads”. Ok, maybe they don’t count ads for their own game as an ad..? But, before I could start the next game, there was another ad for an external app! Now I have no problem with ads. Developers need to earn a living. But be honest! If you’re going to advertise “no ads”, then there should be none! The only reason I’m giving 2 stars instead of 1 is because the game itself is pretty good. But I hate dishonesty so only 2 stars it is!

Edit: Unfortunately, I’m going to have to downgrade this another star. As if it wasn’t bad enough that that there are ads with an app that had advertised none, with the latest update, the ads are now even more frequent and some ads last A FULL MINUTE followed by a secondary screen which adds even more time. Another app gets greedy. Not surprised, but I am disappointed.

With my new iPad and new Apple Pencil, for months, Jigsawscapes has been my daily companion. Suffering a recent brain injury, the slide and glide, colors, photographs, gestures, and all workings have continued to play a significant part in my restoration therapy…until recently. I purchased the game. Suddenly, with “rotate” selected, the pieces no longer rotate with the Apple Pencil. My first inclination was to check the Help Center. Nothing to suggest the pieces no longer rotating. So I turn to you, my trusted compatriots who love this puzzle game as much as I, for anyone who might experience the same. Customer Service Chat responded with a hope to update the game soon as they are aware of ongoing problems. Now, they say check the new update. All aspects work as usual but for the puzzle pieces rotating with the new Apple Pencil. I’ve uninstalled, lost all of my gems and saved puzzles, re-installed, tried, and tried again, to no avail. A few re-downloads later, still nothing. My iPad and Pencil work with all apps, but this one, (for rotating pieces). For fear of sounding dramatic, I feel as though I’ve lost a trusted calming, restorative companion that has helped me through a tough time. Any help on this is warmly embraced. Thank you.

The ads are the only things preventing me from giving this 5 stars. The puzzles are fun and nice to look at and there are so many, but the frequency of video ads are over the top. You have to wait 5-10 seconds before being able to close an ad and this only opens up a second and sometimes a third part of the same ad. Sometimes clicking the x button takes you to Jigsawscapes store instead of closing the ad, a problem with most in-game ads. Sometimes while trying to select a puzzle piece I accidentally click the banner ad at the bottom because it’s too close to the pieces. Also, it is never acceptable for an ad to start with sound and cause apple music to pause. Most of the ads are trash anyway. I understand ads are necessary, especially for a free game without paying for the ad-free version but, again, the ad frequency is over the top.

Every time I try to open Jigsawscapes , I am forced to watch an ad BEFORE the game even opens. Then when I select a puzzle, I am forced to watch another ad. As soon as I complete a puzzle, I have to watch another forced ad. Ads also randomly open while working on a puzzle, which then open my browser and take me to the ad developer’s website. And there’s also a constantly running series of ads at the very bottom of the screen, which is why I suspect that this game constantly overheats my device and rapidly drains the battery.

The sad thing is that this would otherwise be the perfect idle time app. The puzzles are beautiful and fun, there’s a huge selection to choose from, and you aren’t required to spend a fortune in order to play. The constant ads just kill the enjoyment for me.

I really like the puzzles in Jigsawscapes, but $7 a week or $13 a month is way overpriced for an app like this. I typically use a different puzzle app by a different developer, but I was drawn to Jigsawscapes because of the bright colors and fun images on their puzzles. With the other app, I was able to remove all ads by paying a one time fee of about $10, which was perfect! However, paying a one time fee to remove ads is not an option with Jigsawscapes, and in my opinion, paying $7/week or $13/month is absurd. I think Jigsawscapes has a lot of potential, but it is not worth that much money. The accuracy when selecting puzzle pieces is way off compared to the other app I use. And the area where you put the puzzles together shifts around based on where pieces are placed, which is a weird and annoying feature.

I hope that the developers consider offering Jigsawscapes for a more reasonable price and/or the option to pay a one time fee to remove ads.

by Cindyleewood

I absolutely hate that there are multiple ad breaks during puzzles! It okay that there are ads before and after. But to have multiple ad breaks while I’m doing a puzzle is ridiculous! They say it is because of expenses but it can’t possibly be that expensive! And this is the only jigsaw game I have that does this!

I wish there were more puzzles I liked on this game. Many of them are just a mishmash of images that look like bad copy and paste compilations. And please ad the rotation capability so I can play in landscape mode on my Samsung tablet. And add more paintings and landscapes. I really enjoy doing these puzzles but I wish there were more paintings instead of photographs. And I really wish it would rotate to landscape. I also have it on my tablet and it is frustrating trying to do these puzzles in portrait mode. Not comfortable at all.

Since I started playing this puzzle app, the features keep changing for the worse! One of my favorite features was having the ability to see the pieces in rows that you can select and move to the puzzle area. We had the option, then it went away. Then it game back for a short time and disappeared again! NOW we have this broom option that sweeps pcs back to the tray. It’s Ok, but I wish I had the select piece option back. It would be nice if you took a poll or give us a way to choose settings with options! I would like to give a five star rating! PLEASE stop changing the features without giving us a choice! This could probably be solved by having a “settings” mode and letting your users decide the position of the piece tray, whether it’s a single row or multiple roe, etc!

by Silverangel116

while I love that in this version I can utilize the space outside the puzzle, and I love the select multiple, there are still some strong settings that are lacking on Jigsawscapes.
while some may love the X-Large puzzle size I found the size of the puzzle peices (when not on the board) are way too large and take up too much scree. also I thought when purchasing Jigsawscapes (wish it was a one time purchase and not a subscription) would allow for more room with the adds gone; however instead of an add the space is just taken up by a blank space, yet again taking away from the main puzzle area.
I also love on other puzzle apps that you can move the peices to the right of the screen or the bottom, while in Jigsawscapes peices go to the right only on smaller size puzzles.
That being said it would be great to have a larger amount of peices. 400 seems low compared to other puzzle apps where they have 450 + size puzzles.
I’d love the puzzle board to have more of a zoom out feature. the zoom in is perfect. so far this is a much better upgrade compare to the puzzles app version previously.

this app - Claim rewards daily. Puzzle pieces in bottom tray, easy to scroll. Pieces flash when in place. Little thumbs up appears when edge complete - but you can trick it, because apparently it just counts the pieces. I have completed the edge except for one piece, then added a center piece and it does the thumbs up, lol. Pic covers puzzle, can still see pieces in tray. No room around puzzle to sort pieces. Shows video again after. Claim rewards again. Go to in progress to resume puzzle, comes right up. Apparently uses less battery power according to one review - seems to draw less power, but it's hard to be sure. Can accumulate points to get more puzzles. To remove ads, subscription necessary. If they had a one-time fee to remove ads I think this would be a very good app.

LOVED this puzzle app until a recent update! i would spend hour after hour working on puzzles.

1. the option to see several puzzle pieces and select multiple to place on the board is gone. having the capability to see that many pieces at once AND select multiple was truly a game-changer. incredibly helpful and was a huge part of what made Jigsawscapes fun. sliding through to search for and place one piece at a time gets irritating.

2. the eye icon to view the entire picture changed, and now you have a smaller picture that you have to enlarge and move around. not a bad idea — i see how some would prefer this option, given that you could keep the photo on the board AND place pieces simultaneously. BUT, i think this should be an option in settings, to allow the user to choose which style they’d like their eye-icon-previews.

those are the two changes i think everyone has noticed. the previous styles were what made this puzzle app unique and stand above other puzzle apps. that being said, i do still love Jigsawscapes and rely on it to wind down for bed. the picture options are endless… with several new puzzles added daily, there is an incredible selection of high quality photos to choose from and i know i’ll never run out of fun, intriguing puzzles.

with the next update, i hope you’ll revert these changes and bring us back the piece-selector option and the larger preview! thank you! :)

by Shantell Leos

i Love this puzzle app, but i really hate the new update that i can’t slide my finished rows all the way off screen either to the left or right. Also, perhaps I am crazy because, i love to put all of the pieces on the board before i start connecting. I can’t stand that I have to tap or double tap(idk) the row on the bottom where all of the pieces are on the slider to get one because if I don’t and I forget to tap it correctly(whatever way is), then i’d end up sliding one of the ones already placed on the board to another spot or back onto the slider making me have to go back and put it back where i’d already placed it. I can somewhat deal with the 1st issue I have, but the 2nd complaint i have is a BIG turn off for me on Jigsawscapes that i once LOVED, as i’m disabled and do not work and have no life. Jigsawscapes kept me highly entertained for hours daily, now I get too frustrated before I can even finish placing my pieces so i just end up and closing Jigsawscapes . 😞

Well, they fixed my comments below but they’ve gone and screwed it up again. This is a great jigsaw game as long as they don’t mess with it. Now they’ve made the completed sample picture larger, so large it doesn’t fit moving it to the side of the puzzle. If one could move the centered puzzle to the side, that would be great. But it can’t be moved so the sample picture either covers part of the puzzle or some of it can’t be seen if moved off the puzzle. From five stars down to three now.

Last update a disaster. 1. Assume done so ads at bottom could be bigger as they now are. 2. Pieces only on the right. Very bad for a lefty. 3. Pieces way too big.. too much scrolling. 4. Very little space left on screen for grouping off the grid. 5. Pieces seem hard to move to the square. Will be looking for another puzzle app. Pity because I really loved this one.

by NikkiB13295

The ads are annoying!! I like Jigsawscapes much more than I did the other jigsaw puzzle app I was using. I had no choice but to delete that other app when they changed it to where you have to spend money to buy puzzles. I’m glad Jigsawscapes don’t do that. I would delete Jigsawscapes just as fast as I did the other 1. I refuse to spend money on a game! I like how Jigsawscapes gives you coins day but it’s not enough. The best thing I like about getting coins is when you’re done with a puzzle, you can earn more coins by watching a short ad. The ads before start and after you finish a puzzle are very annoying!! I have done puzzles that the developers of Jigsawscapes say are hard. HAHAHA!! They are NOT HARD!! I need these puzzles to be 1,000 pieces or more and lots of detail for them to be hard!! I like and want a challenge with these puzzles. I like them so much better that way. I don’t like the fact that I can be done so easily with a puzzle that’s supposed to be hard or challenging. Make them harder and with lots more pieces.

by Ldnew8

When Jigsawscapes popped up on my screen, it was playing this very relaxing music to put your puzzles together with. And it said “No Ads”!
Well, there are plenty of adds which can be tolerated when your not paying anything for Jigsawscapes ! The puzzles ARE very relaxing and I am enjoying them; however, I would have never downloaded Jigsawscapes had I known the relaxing music did not come with the free app and I found no way to access the music myself. Hence, the only three star rating.

by Secret Sambra

The puzzle itself is fine, but the ad that lured me in told me that there would be no ads and that is so not true. I must be a likely candidate for purchasing games like bingo and slot machines because that is what the ads are encouraging. Like all online games my contact information is being harvested and then they try to destroy me. They don’t even try to sell me their service, which I might do, if the price point was reasonable, protected my privacy and the end product was, in fact, ad free.

by SunnyorRainy

I LOVE the puzzles. The variety is really great. They are very colorful and pleasing to the eye and senses. It is relaxing and I love working them.
BUT…..the ads are too frequent and they are waaay too long.
I understand ads pay for Jigsawscapes to be free, but most of my free time is used up waiting for those extra long ads to close. It’s not peaceful or relaxing to be interrupted so many times.
Make the ad just a few seconds long and give the option to skip it after that. I know right away if I want it or not. No need to force feed it to me after that.
To the advertisers; making me watch your ad longer is not going to encourage me to download your product. If I am interested, I will click on the product.

by 52carolld

I do not care for the layout at all. You have to keep looking for what you used to be able to see without scrolling down. All the new puzzles were on one section which you could see and then new packages were easy to spot. The biggest and most unacceptable change is the speed of the unlimited hints. Why in the world would you make that so slow???? BAD IDEA!!! Please do a quick change to that part at least! I do not know what the intentions of the changes were but to me they were not customer friendly at all. I am sure I am not the only one very disappointed in this update. Maybe next time ask us. I will update this review when the next update comes out and if some of the things I have big issues with were resolved.

by Garthgirl

These are a collection of very nice puzzles. The format is great, being able to pick out how many pieces you want etc,. I have done about fifty of them so far. There are just two problems I really wish would be fixed. The first is that when you finish a puzzle, you are supposed to get to admire it for a bit and then you are supposed to get a certain amount of points for completing it, like 40. But the second I put the last piece in, the screen flips to an ad for some other app. I never receive the reward points, which can be used to unlock special puzzles. VERY FRUSTRATING! The second problem is that I use Jigsawscapes on my mini iPad as well as my regular iPad, but they do not connect, so I cannot start a puzzle on one iPad and later finish it on the other. This would be very convenient to do, as well as being able to accumulate your points in one place. I REALLY wish these two problems could be fixed. I love doing the puzzles. Debbie N.

I want to give Jigsawscapes five stars. I have saved and watched many ads to up my diamonds to unlock more puzzles but, before and after every puzzle you see an ad, after every puzzle you can watch an ad to multiply your diamonds. So to do one puzzle I have to watch 2 ads and to get more diamonds 3 ads. And let’s say I want to use the diamonds to open a locked puzzle, you can watch an ad or use diamonds, if I use diamonds it should SKIP the ad, that’s why I saved upwards of 2,000 diamonds. I find so many ads in a game quite greedy on the creator’s part and am not as inclined to open Jigsawscapes at all. Which is so disappointing. Because Jigsawscapes would greatly improve if the creators cut even just the ad before opening the puzzle. Edit: Changing to 1 star from 4 why on earth would you take away our tray? That was the best part of the game. I will be looking for a new jigsaw game Edit 2: they brought the tray back, thank you for listening to us, still too many ads but I will be playing again now that the multi select is back, thank you!!!

by Pyrophyllite

I have now done 3 puzzles, and they were fun, but I’m hit by numerous 30 second ads every time I go back to work on a puzzle. And the worst is that last night I worked on my third puzzle and got about 2/3 finished, but today when I went back to finish it I had to endure 3 more ads about this ap which I already had, only to find that all my work on the puzzle was gone and I would have to do it all over again. I’ll wait until I get a response from the developer before I delete the ap but I’m not going to play this any more.

I’m playing the last puzzle again, and it has kept my progress on the puzzle. I don’t know what happened that one time but it has not happened again. I did get a response from the developer, which is a very positive thing for me, so I’m back to playing. I is a fun jigsaw puzzle that lets you choose the difficulty level, and the puzzles are beautifully done and there are more puzzles than a person could do in a lifetime, so I’m giving it 4 stars now.

by Tori1771

Love all the brightly colored puzzles and the fact that we get to choose how many pieces of a puzzle we want to do is awesome…. But with that being said, you cannot save any of your progress if the game freezes like it does from time to time then you have to go in delete the game and re-download it but here’s the catch none of your progress none of your puzzles that you’ve solved none of it is cap you literally start from the very beginning all over again and it is super frustrating when you work really hard to get a bunch of the puzzles done!!! UGH That part is super frustrating. You think that with the technology we have today that this game would offer that just like every other game I play has a way for me to sign into my Google account my Facebook account something along that way, in order to keep your progress by signing in through those apps.
Please fix this the creators of the game.

by Anna (unique Nickname)

For a while now there has been an absolutely disgusting and incredibly graphic toenail fungus ad that plays before every puzzle. You have to sit through 15 seconds of a slideshow of the most extreme, nauseating cases of ruined toenails before you’re even allowed to skip. It completely ruins the experience. I’m not mad at Jigsawscapes having ads- I’m mad that they would force kids and adults alike to look at graphic medical atrocities. I’ll remove this review when y’all remove the ad, and please have a better screening process for which advertisers you accept.

Edit: updated stars since the ad in question was removed. Not thrilled with the response, since you all should know exactly which ads you are running without me having to send in pictures of foot fungus, but regardless, it seems to no longer be running.

by Gymnasticsrox90000

The game can be quite relaxing and is even nice to start your brain in the morning. It also isn’t filled with ridiculous amount of adds unlike other games and apps that do. I love how it includes the choice to select the amount of puzzle pieces you would like to create a harder or easier puzzle. One thing that could be fixed is something that could maybe help you if you do get stuck in the middle of a puzzle. Obviously this wouldn’t be for the heck of it, there would probably be a cost of either an add or maybe even a certain amount of gems. The gems are easily earned after each puzzle and the amount Varys depending on the amount of pieces your puzzle includes. I really like this game to relax and restart my mind but sometimes I get stuck and have no way to get out. But I 100% recommend downloading this game.

by MugWorts

I really enjoy this game except for not being able to turn off the final puzzle pieces assist. The page turns grey so you can see the final pieces in order to finish the puzzle. I liked it better before when you could choose that assistance for yourself by tapping the puzzle since I prefer to figure the entire puzzle myself without the puzzle telling me where the last pieces are and where they go. It's very frustrating if you can't stop or somehow disable this feature when doing the puzzle. Same with not being able to turn off the tray at the bottom since I like to place pieces along the bottom to work on and it's very sensitive and too easy to accidentally hit and then the tray comes up when you don't want it to. I wish there was a menu where you could turn off these features if you don't want or need them. If there is and I can't see it please let me know!

by Brassnuck

I really enjoy Jigsawscapes. However, I can’t get it to sync between my phone and my iPad. I could the first day I had my iPad but no longer can. On my iPad I had over 36,000 points and only 28,000 on my phone. I logged out to try to sync them both and when I logged back in my points synced up but only to the lower of the two so I lost a ton of points and the puzzles still did not sync up. It’s very frustrating. I do enjoy the puzzles though. I just wish they would sync properly between devices.

I wrote that a while ago. Apparently it never sent. However I woke up to a change this morning that is awful. It now flashes red and moves a piece if you put it in the wrong spot. So when I am trying to move pieces around to organize them it will move the pieces while I am moving them causing me to lose control of the piece. We don’t need it flashing red and moving the piece over. Obviously we can see if a piece fits.

by Balley49

You changed the background color selection. The problem with the selection choices is that the selection you offer are either too light or too dark for many of the puzzles. This makes it difficult to see what puzzle pieces go to what area of the puzzle. Please return to the previous selection of colors for the background. Also I have a complaint. Today when I tried to use the lightbulb feature, which is normally something I used to complete the borders when I first start a puzzle I found that it does not work like it used to behave. With the changes made one has to pull up the pieces to fit in the gray spot. I like having the option to have 1 or 2 rows of puzzle pieces display at the bottom.

by Granny's Usable

When I opened my jigsaw site today, there was a note about a picture in process. It’s really cute but when I clicked on the in process, it started back at the beginning. I wonder why if I was notified that it was in process, I would expect it to go to the point where I had left off. I m not sure but I feel I may have finished this picture already. As I said, it’s cute so I’ll build it again but I was just curious

by Sister MJ

This is a pleasant and relaxing little break to have in the day. It’s for the interval between something you just finished and another task that you will begin shortly.
As such, it is satisfying for the few minutes you spend on it. But as with all these downloaded apps, it is peppered with other apps that you’ve seen a million times and you DON’T want. They just keep popping up every time you complete one puzzle and you want to swat them like flies or gnats and get rid of them all.

by Stament02

I downloaded this for I saw an ad that this would be an ad free game. That is why I downloaded it, finally an app that does not spam you with ads! But sadly that is simply not true, and while I don’t mind paying for an app to be ad free that is not even an option.

Looks like another app bites the dust for me personally. I am one who does not appreciate a game being advertised for being ad free and then having interrupting ads with no way of getting rid of them.

by Lstarrb

Loved puzzles, loved how I could make it harder, get more point. Variety was great with new ones daily. Never learned what points was for. You could take a break, start new then go back. Adds not to bad. Put finished puzzles in library. I just finished hard puzzle that took me awhile and when I finished usual pick a new and then points added only it froze. Ended taking out app then reinstalled it. Lost library, points very frustrating. If it happens again I’m done.

by Ycannard

These puzzles I like because they don’t have a timer , they are not I trusted by ads, there are levels of skill that can be changed and that’s all great . I believe the pause between next puzzle and the level could be longer as I hardly have time to change the skill…That is the only change I can see . I enjoy doing these very much they get my mind off of everything and I can clear my mind to try and sleep…They help me wind down….Thank you for making them available for free…Yvonne

by Przewiz

I would give this a 5 star except for a recent change to the finished pic that is under the eye icon. Before you could switch and enlarge and see the exact area so you knew what piece
to look for. Now it shows up as a pop up with a pic that only can enlarge so much. May I suggest including both and maybe have the choice somewhere that you can pick which one you want to use?
Otherwise, I love Jigsawscapes. You never lose a piece like a physical puzzle. You can do the border first. You can change backgrounds so the missing shapes are easier to see. But to be honest, I’ll leav3 Jigsawscapes with this new pic/eye thingy if it stays. It’s like looking at 5he top of a puzzle box across a room or on a next table . Sigh.

by Mr GW The King

I guess I don’t know where to find the meaning of all the icons at the top, but most everything is intuitive - and the ease of play is outstanding! Love that you can choose an interesting puzzle picture, and then select the difficulty by choosing how many pieces for your puzzle.
I also love that you can sort puzzle pieces in the slider bar below, check on the full image with a click - and best of all, when the position of the piece is correct, it flashes for a second so you don’t wonder if it fits.
Would be nice if you could have a mini-mobile image of the whole puzzle, always on top, to drag around the screen in addition to flipping back to the full-page image with a click of the “eye” icon.
Nice work! I finally stopped searching for a decent puzzle app - found it!!

I am obsessed with Jigsawscapes. It’s an amazing game, high quality, not too many adds, and lots of puzzle choices. I’m not sure what happened, if I accidentally updated it or what but halfway through one of my puzzles the whole game changed. You can no longer look at all your pieces in columns the only option is to scroll through one row of pieces at a time. This isn’t a huge issue for the super small puzzles but when your doing 400 pieces it gets annoying fast. Also when you click the eye button to show the completed puzzle for reference the image shows up in a different place than it used to. Both of these updates seem to be for the worse. Please let me know if the buttons can be changed back or I can un-update it. If I can not please consider making that an option or fixing these changes, I know I’m not the only one who has noticed them <3

by Angritated

This is a really nice puzzle app for the price.
It’s not perfect, there are times when it’s slightly lags picking up or moving pieces or moving a nearby piece instead of the one I want but these are minor annoyances and the puzzles are very enjoyable and pretty to look at. I do have two suggestions for the developers: 1) with the new update there are only bright light and dark backgrounds, it would be nice to have a mid range gray or blue as sometimes it’s hard to see the open areas against the background depending on the puzzle colors and 2) I am deleting puzzles to not use extra space in the cloud so I am getting repeat puzzle suggestions showing up. I don’t know if there is a way around this or if I’m doing overkill in deleting them. Still worth the price.

by Nena902

I have tried several jigsaws and this is by far the best. You can use the arrow at the bottom of the tray which looks like this ^ which brings up a tray of all the puzzle pieces in a larger easy to see option and you can choose the puzzle pieces in groups that you want inserted into the center of your puzzle OR you can slide the pieces across the bottom and select them one at a time. It has an option to show only edge pieces, has three or four background colors which are easy on the eyes. The best part is the largest selection of FREE beautiful puzzles PLUS if you complete your puzzle, you get tokens to use towards buying puzzles too. I LOVE THIS JIGSAW! Thank you developers for this large selection. Well done!

by GrandmaLetta

I loved the puzzles and the variety of scenes I could play. I played for days, then all of a sudden it quit. I chose the puzzle and nothing happened. The puzzle picture couldn’t be played. I deleted it several times and restarted it. Now I am having to choose a totally different puzzle game. I have not liked the other one I choose, and now on a different path. This is very disappointing. Just a note to let you know: Once again my this app has quit on me. It is not relaxing and calming when I wait all day as it tells me it is “preparing “. What does that mean? How long is it going to take to prepare? I love these puzzles, it has been relaxing for me when I am able to do them.

by Teriblthundrlzrd

This is the absolute best jigsaw app I’ve found. The puzzles are beautiful, there are a huge number of free puzzles and you earn gems when you complete them that you can use to unlock more. And only ONE ad after every puzzle, which is amazing. The only thing I dont love is when you move a piece from the tray, the other pieces kind of jump around and when you put the piece back it doesn’t always go back to the original spot. So when there are a lot of similar looking pieces it can be difficult to keep track of where you were. But that is so minor compared to the issues with other apps. Great job to the developers on this one!

by Joyseeker18

Love it! The developer did a fantastic job with creating it. The drag and drop function is nearly flawless. I love the carousel of pieces on the bottom. At first I put many of the pieces inside the outer shell on the board, but then saw it was better to keep the pieces in the carousel and continually cycle through them to match open areas with the pieces already attached. Leave only the pieces that fit together inside which match but I don’t know yet where they go. Love the many diverse choices of images. I challenge myself even more by looking at the picture once at the beginning and then be pleasantly surprised how the pieces go together to form a shape as I I match more. Absolutely love Jigsawscapes and totally recommend it, especially for those older folks like me who want to keep their minds sharp!

by Mnaso88

This is a great puzzle app. I love the variety of puzzles you have. One puzzle I really thought was adorable is the one with the puppy stealing the cookie with Santa shushing. It was one of the puzzles you make to reveal the postcards. I looked in the library to see if I could find it, but wasn’t able to. Any chance this and the other puzzles that make up the postcards will be part of the library; or at the very least would show up in “My Puzzles” so I can make it again?

It would be very helpful to be able to select more than one puzzle piece. That feature seems to turn on and off randomly. Being able to search for puzzles using a keyword would also be helpful.

Thank you and keep up the great work.

by Phiarulz

Honestly I like Jigsawscapes. I think the ads are timed but they only kick in if you’ve hit the time and either enter or exit a puzzle. Like I’ll do my puzzle, watch part of an ad (they let you skip) when I finish my puzzle, start the next one, and I don’t get another until I finish that puzzle. The only time I’ve seen otherwise is if I take a while picking a new puzzle, which is why I think it’s time based. But it’s really not that bad considering some other apps.
One thing I’d really like though is the ability to hide completed puzzles. It’s hard to look through the categories for new puzzles because the ones I’ve done are still there so I have to scroll past all those before I can get a new one.

Dear Developer, Thank you for replying and providing a suggestion to retrieve the upswipe arrow to display Multiple Columns and Multiple Rows of pieces from which to simultaneously select. I Already had this feature selected and still the Upswipe Arrow had disappeared, however today the arrow MAGICALLY appeared and I can now view and select from (on my phone) 40 !!!!! Pieces At A Time!! So now, it is again, a much more enjoyable puzzle experience. However it happened, thank you.🧩🧩🧩

Updates usually fix something but the recent update that deleted the arrow to have full screen view and select Many pieces at a time is not a fix or improvement😠. It makes the game Much Less Enjoyable only being able to view a few pieces at a time and having to go swiping the bar back and forth to look for pieces. Until this 'fix' is 'unfixed' I am looking for a new puzzle app.

I collect jigsaw puzzle. They are my go to comfort hobby. I started playing January 2023. I have 3 yr. Old twin girls. One of them was playing with my phone she just loves pressing buttons and deleted my jigsaw escapes app. I re- download it. But all my progress was lost. Along with 7623 coins that I had collected. I like Jigsawscapes so much I just restated all over again. But I wonder Is there any possible way to get my progress back.? I enjoy this game very much. It’s an easy way to do puzzles without having to worry about it getting undone. If there’s any way to get my progress back? Please let me know. If possible I’ll just keep both.

At first I was nervous downloading this game because I thought it was going to be too hard. It’s anything but that! I love the photos they choose for the puzzles. The pieces are lined up at the bottom the way they are in the right spot. The piece locks in when you are in the right spot. You can choose how many pieces you want in your puzzle, this makes it harder or easier for you depending on your mood. The best part is that there are barley any ads and the puzzles are free to do. I enjoy this game very much , I’m definitely addicted. I look forward to playing this game because it relaxes my mind & it makes me feel calmer. I find myself happier when I play this game. It definitely puts me in a good mood. The pictures are so beautiful, but also easy to figure out for a puzzle. I would recommend this game to anyone who loves puzzles, wants to calm the mind and relax. It’s good for people who like to clear their mind before bed.

I’ve been doing since I learned 1+1=2 !
My fathers and mine, puzzles were peaceful and fun. Size never mattered, over 500 of course.
These days, I’ve brought all my kids and grandkids the joy of accomplishment.
Although we don’t always have a place to build the larger ones…there’s always time for some of them!
Jigsawscapes makes my yearning available. Thank you.

These puzzles keep my mind busy while I have to be on bed rest for many long weeks! I just found out I chose to rotate the pieces, but I backed down to only 100 piece puzzles while I’m learning. The biggest puzzles are hard because I just have an iPad which really limits how much I can see. Often I play games as to how I solve like finishing the whole thing before popping it into place or starting from the center instead of doing the frame first. I like working from one side to the other top to bottom or across. Don’t like the new update that starts giving me hints if I take to long to move or the the picture disappears after a few minutes. Wish there was a search feature so I could zero in on something I’m interested in completing. It would be great if I could have the puzzle on one side and an larger area to work with the pieces instead of having the puzzle in the middle always.

I’ve tried a few and this is by far the best. No limit to the puzzles, great variety of subject matter and beautiful colors and pictures. (The animals always make me smile). I especially like that I can play in landscape mode on my iPad tablet - a must for me! The thumbs up graphic is just ok, as is the fireworks display when a certain number of pieces are placed at once. Suddenly today a small burst of stars happens every time I place a piece! Nooooo! Please make it go away or at least tell us how to turn off these unwanted special effects. You don’t need to keep adding bells and whistles - or if you do, at least make them optional. Please fix this to make your already great game most enjoyable.

UPDATE: YOU ACTUALLY DO LISTEN! THANKS for taking out the fireworks and for putting the puzzle pieces back to a tray on the bottom (I agreed with the many others who didn’t like the pieces winding up the sides). 5stars+

I have been a puzzler since the days when you could only get one in a box. Ravensberger were the best. this app far exceeds even Ravensberger.
this app’ pictures are absolutely beautiful and the choice is astounding.
Currently I have a broken ankle so am pretty limited in my choice of activities. I am also quite stressed as the pain is no small matter. this app has been daily de-stressor.
Thank you.

My neighbor told me about the Jigsaw Puzzles several weeks ago and I’ve been playing them every day since. Be careful, they’re also addicting, but SO MUCH FUN! I have completed, on average, a good four puzzles a day (I’m retired) and what fun I’ve had. Try a couple, you will enjoy them as much as the rest of us.

There is a great selection for everyone, and if you’ve a cat, no more stolen or missing pieces to hunt for. Just close your iPad when you lay it down to get a snack or you will find someone trying to complete it.

I literally started playing today, and I really enjoy it. There’s a good selection of free puzzles. I really appreciate that each puzzle has a variety of difficulties, so anyone from a beginner to an experienced player can enjoy. The gem system is great too- the more difficult the puzzle (the more puzzle pieces) the more gems you get. With those gems you can “buy” even more puzzles! And I know this may seem small, but being able to choose the color/“texture” of the “surface” I’m making my puzzle on can make a huge difference

by Grewett

I’m one of your biggest fans. Love the new puzzles even though the pieces are much smaller. As you were establishing a different puzzle approach, I was totally unhappy because the pieces were so small, but since I was finally able to get your puzzles back again, I can’t be happier!!! Please keep up the good puzzles. Please don’t disappear again. This is the BEST pastime for me!!! Love picking up my cell phone and start putting a puzzle together again. Sincerely, Judy from Lansing, Michigan.

Jigsawscapes does what it should do. It relieves stress from the daily life and helps me to relocate myself to a different place when I use Jigsawscapes. It also helps to kill time when I have to wait for something or someone.

I just wish it had the capability of being able to add your own photos to make into a puzzle and let others also have access to them…maybe one day it can happen.

It's super good you get a big selection of puzzles and you do buy some with diamonds you make of of completing a puzzle and I have a tiny suggestion, could it be possible if you could make you puzzle have different types of textures or like you could edit it or add ✨ and stuff once you complete a puzzle and if you do can you me it fit a 10 iOS because I do not have anything bigger and I feel like there is also a bug and what is douse is when I try to watch a video to get gems or if you show me an ad it will just be a black screen with a huge X on in and weird things on the bottom and If i try yo press the big x it will do nothing and then I have to close all the pages and the go back In to Jigsawscapes and it takes a long time to load so pls fix and get rid of that and then I assure you I will give it a five star.
But mostly it's a great app for people who can't afford to depend money on it because once I got a different jigsaw app and I hated it because I had to pay like 100 dollars a year if I wanted to play the puzzles that I likes because they gave me like twenty puzzles that I could do and if I wanted more I would have to pay, so what I am saying is that I totally recommend and I love Jigsawscapes

by LuvnGrannie

I highly recommend this ap. Not only do I love the selection of puzzles I really appreciate the fewer ads than other jigsaw puzzle apps I tried. Was about to give up on these apps when I downloaded this one as a last chance. So happy I didn’t give up. Absolutely am a big big fan of jigsaw puzzles both on my tablet as well as on a card table. The last app had an ad every 1 - 3 pieces placed. Yes no exaggeration 1 - 3 placements. There was more add time then solving time. Realizing ads are necessary to support the apps this one is by far the best as timing for them and length of time between them. Kudos to the company and developers.

Update Dec 8, 2022:
What happened to the arrow that allowed you to expand the bar and select certain pieces to go inside the puzzle? I no longer see it. This is a great feature. I hope you put it back in. Until you do I have deleted Jigsawscapes .

The last few years I started playing puzzle games. I’ve never found one that I really like. So I will give up using Jigsawscapes . But I love your puzzle game.
Growing up me and my family would do puzzles as entertainment. It was something we could do together as a family and we all actually got pretty good at it. It’s a great family memory for me. Most the time we did 1000 pieces but we will do up to 5000 pieces. Now, I have no problem doing a 400 piece puzzle in one day. When I was married, my husband and I would do puzzles and he would get irritated when I would pick up a piece and just place it exactly where it goes. Lol. Because he just spent 10 minutes looking for that exact piece. Lol. I love that I can pick how many pieces. If I want to do more puzzles in one day I just use a lower amount of pieces. But I love doing the 400.
And yes I have a lot of time during the day to do this because I’m retired. Yay for me!

Jig saw puzzles 🧩 I’ve had different apps for puzzles and out of all the ones I’ve tried I really like this really nice looking puzzles and there’s not a lot of ads either which is great the one app I had for puzzles before this one there’s like 5 adds through out the puzzle and with this one I haven’t had a single one so I think this is going to be the jigsaw 🧩 puzzles 🧩 I’ll be playing . Awesome 🤩

by Deb---H

the puzzles are fun, the only thing i absolutely hate is you can’t change the orientation. it would be a thousand times better if it was set up going in the other direction and then it would be much bigger. it could also use more puzzles.
Update: now they have it so you can change the orientation so I am very happy about that.

by Drushie

I love doing jigsaw puzzles on my iPad and this is the very BEST app. I like the snap sound it makes when a piece is correctly placed and the flourish of sound when the puzzle is completed. The lovely pictures please me as well. I especially like that it’s free. I am an older person on a fixed income, and it’s annoying when something that is supposed to be good for me, like jigsaw puzzles, is costly. I hope to do many more of these puzzles!

by BeckynRobin

This is one of the best puzzle games I’ve played. I put three or four together with no problems but now all this puzzle wants to do is freeze up on me. I have to close and reopen Jigsawscapes four or five time In a ten minute period. So it’s either this puzzle in particular or I don’t know but if it happens one more time I’m deleting it and getting a different puzzle game. Very very frustrating.
