Stress Free Jigsaw Puzzles Reviews

Totally Fun jigsaw - This is apparently an upgrade from Free jigsaw, a few more puzzles but play is the same, - [lots of categories, all free as far as I can tell. Pieces all around board, separated. Pieces flash when correctly placed. Edges fit border. Ads at bottom. When complete, still looks like jigsaw. If you exit out completely, will load puzzle in progress automatically. No videos to watch so far. No way to remove ads, apparently. Has 'Hold for picture', shows pic under whatever is on the board. Plenty of room to assemble pieces anywhere, puzzle square is slightly darker than surrounding workspace.] - except now when the puzzle is completed there is a 'remove lines' button which causes completed puzzle to look like a pic. Still no way to remove ads, which would really improve play. Also, as before, many puzzles look like amateurish snaps without any real interest.

Choosing a puzzle of the hour (yes, new puzzles every hour!), the mystery puzzle, an animal, nature scene, flower, architectural or food puzzle—tons of puzzles to help with the anxiety of these times. I can choose the number of pieces and difficulty level for each puzzle. And I can save the picture without edges to my photos, to use as wallpaper.

The reason I gave you 4 instead of 5 stars is that I would like to see more contrast between the pieces and the background. Sometimes I can’t get a clear view of the edges of the pieces.

I really love this puzzle game. I play it daily! It has a lot of options available: sending a completed puzzle to a friend, saving the puzzles to my device photos, varying the number of pieces (size), and even a piece rotation. There are almost endless ways to reuse a puzzle and stay challenged. The puzzles are beautiful and have many different subjects to appeal to all players. The support contact is prompt and very helpful. I delete games that will not get back to me for the help I need. I highly recommend this puzzle game!! Great job BHT!!!

Have had your app for years and used to only play every night to relax before bedtime. Since retiring from 911, I play multiple times a day. Lol. I have to say THANK YOU for adding the option to hide the puzzle piece lines after completing the puzzle. The pictures are all so beautiful! Thank you also for having so many new puzzles every hour and every day. The mystery puzzles are also a blast! The fun is endless!

I enjoy the choices given for working the puzzles. I can choose the number of pieces which allows me to work a more complicated picture while my 5 year old granddaughter can work one with fewer pieces. I like that adaptability. There are lots of choices of pictures as the puzzle basis. There is only one ad before the start of a session and I don’t find that intrusive.

Simple, free, and reliable. I like the zoom feature but I wish there was an option to actually make the puzzle size bigger so it would fill more of the screen. If it were any other developer I would give it four stars just for the size of the puzzle. But it gets the fifth star just because boy howdy is such a great company. They have always responded to my questions in a timely and friendly manner that has made me feel like they really value my business.

I LOVE StressFreeJigsawPuzzles so much! I am very glad I found it.
It can be as easy or as challenging as you want it to be.
That is great for when the grandkids want to play, or waiting for some appointment. With a simple change in picture and number of pieces, it can be VERY challenging.
Also, there are SO many pictures to choose from, and you can even upload your own. How cool is that!? Finally, jigsaw puzzle the cats can’t destroy!

StressFreeJigsawPuzzles has it all, is a great entertainment & is free! I know, right? I can hardly believe either! One tiny suggestion to the developers...please consider giving one more choice in regards to the background “table” color. Some puzzles are difficult to see the pieces or an opening in the puzzle with the background table color/pattern. I know it’s minor, but it would be nice to choose on occasions. Thanks for creating such a great app!

This is the best puzzle app out of all the other puzzle apps I’ve tried! Easy to use and simple and best of all I can use my own photos! The fun never ends!
One suggestion though. I would like to see an OPTION for individual pieces staying IN PLACE when placed in its exact spot. So when I select the I’M STUCK option, the single, loose pieces won’t be removed from the interior and I have to hunt them up again! 😏
I hope I explained that correctly! 🙃
Your app is still the BEST! Thanks!

I think this is very well put together, very easy to use, and it’s very easy to increase your skill level as you go. I like the feature where you can choose the number of puzzle pieces for any given puzzle that you opt to solve. There is a wide variety of puzzles as well as the ability to use your own photographs. I have not tried other jigsaw puzzle apps simply because this one is so good I can’t quite imagine how one would improve on it.

I enjoy working the puzzles on StressFreeJigsawPuzzles but whenever I do, my iPad Pro is nearly drained of battery power in just a short while. After playing for only a couple of hours my power percentage will go from 100% to as low as 40%. If I listen to music while doing this, it will drop to around 35%. As I said, the puzzles are great and lots of fun, but StressFreeJigsawPuzzles itself is not very efficient. If the developers can fix this power drain bug I’ll gladly give StressFreeJigsawPuzzles 5 Stars.

I am not happy with the new update because it has made it impossible to actually do the puzzle when you have old eyes. At least not the way I have used StressFreeJigsawPuzzles for years. I decided to try again today after I remembered about the tray for all the puzzle pieces. I can then make the puzzle workspace as large as needed and still have access to the puzzle pieces. I tried the tray when it was first offered but at that time I did not like it. Since that is now my only option if I want to stay with StressFreeJigsawPuzzles, I gave it a try and found it acceptable. I am still upset that I was forced to do this instead of having the option, but I can live with it. Please stop “improving” StressFreeJigsawPuzzles - it works just fine.

No lies. The description is accurate. You don’t have to buy anything. Never ending selection of photos to use or use any of your own. You don’t even need to be online if you use your own photos. No need to be connected once a photo is loaded. (I don’t have wifi so this is important to me). You can select the number of pieces you feel like which can vary depending on your mood. I can do puzzles without pets knocking pieces on the floor and can enlarge it to see the pieces easier. I love love love it.

I love this puzzle app! I can choose how many puzzle pieces to play with so I customize the puzzle for any age. I can choose images from my camera roll or use any image I can download. I can send StressFreeJigsawPuzzles to friends or family members so they can enjoy it too. I only recently learned that working puzzles is one of the best exercises for the brain because it uses both the left and right hemispheres. Good for memory and recognition also. Thanks so much for StressFreeJigsawPuzzles. You have done me a favor.

I’ve been doing these jigsaws forever after my dissatisfaction with so many others. All the pieces are viewable on the board…big plus. You have several choices as to the number of pieces, and there is a wide variety of puzzles to choose from including different hourly and daily choices. Can’t finish the puzzle right now? Come back and finish any time. And if you have a problem or question, just contact the developers for a quick response. And there are no ad interruptions!!! Thanks, Boy Howdy!

As we age, we’re told to do things to strengthen our brains! I’ve found these jigsaws are a big help!
1. Matching pieces according to color! Interesting how one off-shaded piece is exactly the perfect one for this space!
2.Matching pieces according to shape! I find this challenging but also a great learning opportunity!
3. I find landscape puzzles the most difficult, because you need to match color and unusual shapes for leaves etc. However, it’s very rewarding when you see the total picture! Again, very good for the brain in my opinion!

Awesome app, easy to use with varying skill levels, many picture choices that are well organized, and overall very intuitive to use. But GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE sets StressFreeJigsawPuzzles apart from its competitors. I wrote to the developer with a "problem" and received a reply with solutions from a real person in about two hours! Turns out StressFreeJigsawPuzzles was fine--it was my error. I wrote back to let them know and received a reply back that they were glad it had been resolved. Doesn't get any better than that. You have a loyal customer. Thanks.

I enjoy using this puzzle app on my iPad. I find working on these puzzles helps create a relaxed, even meditative mood. There is a tremendous variety of puzzles to choose from with the added bonus of being able to choose the difficulty level, including the rotation and number of the pieces. Additionally, the Boy Howdy Technology customer service is fast and friendly. Julie answered my inquiry promptly and thoroughly, helping me to better understand the available puzzle tools. I highly recommend this puzzle app to anyone who is looking for a fun and relaxing (or challenging!) time, as they put together a puzzle of their choice!

I thoroughly enjoy the format of the Boy Howdy puzzles. The pieces are all visible alongside the body of the puzzle. As opposed to 99% of other puzzles that have their pieces on a “sliding” tray. The loose pieces can be reorganized at the players prerogative. However, the absolutely best feature is the “mystery puzzle”. A lovely challenge, solving a puzzle when the picture is a unknown factor. ... Go Boy Howdy, go!!! Gotta love it.
......Hello again. I wrote this a few years back. And it all holds the same. I think I’ve found every “cat”puzzle they have. And save the puzzles I love to an album so I can enjoy the completed pictures whenever I need a feel good moment.

I do the puzzles mindlessly when waiting in lines at the airport or other times which need a little passtime but not something to taxing. Certainly the puzzles are pretty and are adaptable to whatever device you use by increasing and decreasing the number or by allowing rotation.
It’s free, which is nice, but stay away from the bottom border or you are besieged by a time wasting and infuriating delay as you are offered additional games!
I have got “for few” puzzles on my devices as well but they are too “puzzley” meaning the pictures are staged especially for puzzles. I enjoy these pics because they are actual photos from a photo Bank!

A friend shared this puzzle app w/me and it’s the only one I play for jigsaw puzzles. I usually play the mystery puzzle mostly because I find it more fun to try and figure out just by colors! I got stuck with a puzzle piece and StressFreeJigsawPuzzles developer was instantly on the case for assistance!! I love the fact that puzzles change so there’s always something new in addition to challenging yourself by choosing how many puzzle pieces you want to play.
