  • Not worth the money

    This game does not save progress I’ve played the same levels so many different times that I’m over it, it does not open levels after the stars are reached and when it does and u exit out you have to start all over again. I’m over it this is very frustrating and a complete waste of time and my day.
  • Love it but it keeps crashing

    My wife and I play this game every night and we always get to turtles then the app crashes and we can’t even open it up again. I even got a new phone and still doesn’t work. It’s disappointing cause as I said it’s was a nightly ritual for us. I’m just going to stop subscription and maybe find another game. Other than that the game was really fun.
  • Great game but not worth paying for!

    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 the app 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.

    Hi! Thank you so much for your feedback - we definitely want to look into this more for you. Please email us at highlights-apps@highlights.com. Please include the email address associated with your account as well as any additional details on the puzzles that seem to be causing problems. In the meantime, we did introduce a new version of the app this week that should help with the crashing problem (version 1.4.1). Please try to uninstall and reinstall the app once more and then click "log in" on the first screen of the app to get back to puzzling.
  • I agree fun and frustrating

    I agree with others who have commented. Myself and my 7 year old love playing this app unfortunately the app will just stop working after awhile. I have reinstalled this app twice and each time it will work very well and then all of a sudden you can’t get back in the app. 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.

  • Bunch of thieves

    Had this app on two different iPads (mine and my wife’s) for our two kids. Worked no problem. After updating, can only play on my wife’s iPad since she is the one who bought the subscription. If my other child wants to play, it would cost an additional 30 dollars for the year. Bogus that you can family share the app but not the subscription. Complete rip off to pay 60 dollars for two kids to play. Completely not worth it. And now you’ve ruined my kids day during quarantine. Thanks Highlights!
  • Best Game Ever!!!!!

    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.

    Thank you for sharing! So happy to hear you're enjoying the app!
  • This seems really bogus

    This is my first time writing a review for anything. I was so delighted to find this app. Highlights was something I used to always enjoy as a child and the fact that I found the app 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 the app. It just shuts out by itself. When I looked up the application on the App 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.
  • AubreE

    OK just is a full hour I hate this game guess what everybody say that just to remind you OK I’m definitely on the five but like why would you even be so mean to me I have a color picture of it and like people Willy so whoever made this game that is a bad game I don’t like it I’m sorry but just the game of it is not fun at all like oh my brother plays a role he doesn’t even know what it is well it’s definitely the baddest

  • Puzzles

    I signed up for the monthly and do you still great 1 puzzle a day??? Have to wait hours and hours before being able to play another. Have complained several times....not sure if it’s worth a monthly subscription as much as i have always love the game.
  • Love it but app won’t open anymore

    This is definitely my favorite app. I am not a child, but I don’t care. I love it. But now I can’t play it anymore. The app acts like it’s loading, then closes. I’ve tried deleting it and reinstalling, which worked for about 3 days. Tried restarting my phone, checking for a new update, closing out of it completely and reopening, and still nothing. Pleeeease fix it, I’m having withdrawals 😩

    (Not really, but still, please let me play again)

    5 stars for the game, 1 star out of frustration that I can’t play.
