### 4/5 — Needs a few key improvements

*2024-09-26, version 7.6.6*

Generally I love this app, although there are a couple of improvements that would make it a five-star app! 

First, the pros:
1. There are a large number of pieces you have available (ranges from 20 to 1400 so it is suitable for people of any age). 
2. You can use your own images! This is fantastic!
3. You can choose to either have the pieces rotate, or orient them to the way they belong in the puzzle.
4. You can pop up a small preview of the puzzle or a larger background image that fits the scale of the puzzle.
5. You can zoom in pretty far if your puzzle has a large number of pieces.

Now, the cons from my point of view:
1. The small preview image should be available in larger sizes. My eyesight isn’t the best (which is why I enjoy puzzle apps because I can zoom in). I don’t like using the background preview even though it is larger.
2. There should be a button you can click to pop all the “unset” pieces from the puzzle area back into the side area. Sometimes (especially once the puzzle is nearly completed and there is little “free” space in the puzzle area) it is difficult to find the “unset” pieces if they are on part of the puzzle that is already completed.
3. On the side area where the unused puzzle pieces are kept, it would be nice to have both an “up” arrow and a “down” arrow so I can quickly move to the top or bottom. Otherwise I have to scroll and if I am doing a puzzle with a lot of pieces, this can take a while. This is mainly because sometimes I want to look for certain types of pieces and I like starting at the top and going to the bottom (or vice versa).

### 3/5 — Pieces missing

*2024-09-08*

Such a realistic jigsaw puzzle. I had one piece left to fill and the remaining piece had more knobs than sockets so didn’t fit plus it was completely different colour. It was like a piece from a different puzzle was put in. Some pieces got stuck on wrong angle but seemed to righten themselves after a day or two. In other words very buggy otherwise a challenging 1000 piece puzzle.

### 3/5 — Just ok.

*2023-12-20, version 7.6.1*

I like the puzzles and the choices but not the way they interlock. Other puzzle games lock the correct puzzle in place once situated.

### 3/5 — Puzzle game update.

*2023-06-26, version 7.5.10*

I love the selection of puzzles.
I do NOT love the rotation option. I have to tap it so many times to get it to work, not worth my time.

I hope you can correct this feature.

### 2/5 — Older version better

*2023-06-20, version 7.5.10*

A few things I don’t like about this newer version—pieces difficult to move, the puzzle takes up the whole screen so no place to put pieces except into puzzle so you can’t put aside pieces with eyes, etc., doesn’t change to clear image at end of puzzle, I lost all my old favorite puzzle collections.

### 2/5 — Review

*2023-06-18, version 7.5.10*

Like the puzzles, but hate the updated version. Older version much mire user friendly.  Barely touch pieces to move and it scrolls too fast. Also, majority of time very difficult to pick up a piece to use.  Multiple attempts needed to pick up a piece to use.  Theres no longer a border to set a few pieces aside.  Timer is gone.  Menu in previous update much easier to use.  Epic fail as an update.

### 4/5 — Jigsawscape

*2023-06-14, version 7.5.10*

My son found this for me, and it has been a God-Send for me! I’m bedridden, and the other one thing is that I read my Bible! I just wanted to say thanks so very much for providing this information for me….If you need anything to do during the day look into the puzzles, they have help me. Please continue to help us out here…..

### 1/5 — Awful!

*2023-05-31, version 7.5.10*

Selected rotate, no rotate. Can’t get the tray to stop when I want it to, couldn’t get the pieces to connect. Did not like the whole experience!

### 1/5 — I don’t like the update

*2023-05-20, version 7.5.10*

I don’t want to work landscape

### 1/5 — 1000 Puzzles ‘update’

*2023-05-20, version 7.5.10*

I do not like that I was forced to do the latest update. I liked the Jigsaw puzzle App & it’s contents that I was using. I now show no history nor incomplete puzzles. I am deleting this new App update.

### 1/5 — Update ruins the game

*2023-05-18, version 7.5.7*

Had to update.  Now tiny pieces that flip on side instead of bottom.    Tiny pieces suddenly bigger when inserted and on side of puzzle instead of bottom. No empty spaces to fit pieces together outside of puzzle.   No fun anymore.

### 1/5 — Bad change

*2023-05-18, version 7.5.7*

I do not like the change that you have made to this game. It is much more difficult to move pieces around and I do not like the floating board. It is easy to get pieces hidden behind it. Not impressed with the change.

### 1/5 — Puzzle

*2023-05-11, version 7.5.7*

Had to delete because it became very slow in picking pieces. Trying to move up and down the row of unused pieces became a real chore. Ok in the beginning terrible at the end.

### 3/5 — Too hard to maneuver

*2023-04-29, version 7.5.7*

I like 1400 pieces being the maximum but when pinching and moving doesn’t work and you can’t see the exegesis of your worktop it’s just too hard to use.

### 1/5 — Failed

*2023-02-04, version 7.5.6*

After having completed appr 40 puzzles the app has gone haywire. Pieces have disappeared and locked, sitting on top of completed sections. After having almost completed a puzzle I needed 15 pieces to complete it. Only 10 were available. The other five were frozen in place on top of completed section. Also, major sections would not lock into place.

### 1/5 — Muy malo

*2022-11-30, version 7.5.4*

No fija el puzzle, las fichas se cogen con dificultad, no se puede cambiar de sitio, no no y no. No vale dos duros y más habiendo puzzles muchos mejores. Desinstalado ya. Y le pongo una estrella porque para poner reseña hay que poner estrellas, sois unos farsantes.

### 2/5 — Quit. Have to start over.

*2022-08-03, version 7.5.1*

The last time I tried to do an 80-pc puzzle from one of my own abstract designs. I just got the edges done. It quit and I had to start over. Tried it again. Got the edges and maybe 15 more pieces in place. Quit again. To restart, have to start over. I used it several times before and it was OK. Now, don’t want to waste my time if it is going to keep quitting.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Puzzle Size

*2023-06-27, version 7.5.10*

The size of the pieces in table are way to small, and there is no way to in large them… great puzzle subjects,

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2023-06-25, version 7.5.10*

I played this for years until today when it made me update. The update doesn’t work well at all. I click on rotate, choose a puzzle and it won’t allow rotation of pieces. The pieces are much smaller than I was used to and I don’t like it. I loved doing the puzzles with no preview at all so the picture was a surprise. This new version has none of those. I hate it!

### 1/5 — New software

*2023-06-22, version 7.5.10*

I was required to update magic puzzles. It no longer works for me. I guess I will have to delete it and go to a different app

### 1/5 — Upgrade

*2023-06-22, version 7.5.10*

I hate the upgrade. You have changed the whole game. I have done over 300 puzzles on your app. I have tried many different puzzle apps but I always deleted them because yours was my favorite. You have totally changed the entire format. It doesn’t even resemble the old site.  Please make it like it was!

### 1/5 — New puzzles

*2023-06-21, version 7.5.10*

This is terrible, please bring back the old version or at least give us a choice of which we would like to use!

### 1/5 — Why is the puzzle solve area smaller than the screen?

*2023-06-18, version 7.5.10*

Loved the puzzle selection.  Hated the screen layout; no option for landscape mode, sections of completed puzzle need to be fully or partially off the screen.  Uninstalled within hours.

### 1/5 — Bring back my horizontal view for my iPad!

*2023-06-17, version 7.5.10*

Can’t use this in vertical!

### 1/5 — Poor design beautiful pictures

*2023-06-09, version 7.5.10*

Really loved the version before this. While the pictures are beautiful there is no working space to do the puzzle. I finally had to move the connected pieces off the screen.  Loose puzzle pieces ended up under the completed sections.  Will be deleting this puzzle app.

### 1/5 — What Have You Done?

*2023-06-06, version 7.5.10*

It appears you have taken an app that was at least amusing and made it ugly, useless, and boring.   I’ve used this app for many years, but  I’m outta here.

### 1/5 — Trying to update…

*2023-06-02, version 7.5.10*

Am trying to update Jigsawscapes and this stupid puzzle game keeps popping up -this app has a horrid selection-where is the correct update????

### 5/5 — Excellent again now ipadOS26 fixed

*2025-10-19, version 7.7.6*

Had this app for a couple of years and is excellent fun

### 5/5 — Very good

*2024-06-20, version 7.6.6*

Best jigsaw puzzle app. I took some time to get used to the updated version, but it’s great once you’re used to it. 
One or two bugs, eg on iPad the bottom row gets mixed up with the swipe up line which doesn’t fade out, so you have to assemble it higher up, and drop it into place. Also, why reverse the rotation to anti-clockwise? Very irritating….
Otherwise, great job.

### 5/5 — Un bel puzzle !

### 5/5 — Jigsaws

*2021-03-15, version 2.3.27*

Thank you. I greatly appreciate these jigsaws, in many ways. Focusing and tuning my mind and observation skills, stepping out of my reality and momentarily into another and the global data they convey. I warmly recommend them to you.
