Couple of glitches
Saw a whole lotta too-many-ads comments in the reviews, so I bought the ad-free version. Easy. Having two ongoing problems though. 1) Sometimes the objects freeze on the board when I try to move them. I’ll drag one to its place, but it’ll stick before I get it there and then fall back down to the tray. Playing on an iPhone 13, so it shouldn’t be a device problem. 2) I’ve never been able to figure out the special events. I play them routinely and finish most successfully, but beyond a “you’ve completed the puzzle!” card, nothing happens. No extra hints, no nothing. To add insult to injury, once the puzzle period ends, I see a message saying “better luck next time!” — even though I finished the puzzle before the deadline. Those aren’t dealbreakers. Still enjoy the app, but it’s moderately frustrating.

Very addictive game 😀
I could do these puzzles all day - so many to choose from besides the daily one and the themed sets which are useful for accumulating hints.
I love the gentleness and use of colour, also the little critters in most of the pictures.
Just one small complaint - at times I just can’t make any piece fit a particular spot so I used a hint. I feel like I’ve been cheated when the piece slides in easily after all my trying.
Just one more thing - if you want to embrace the whole world another good place to start is the Southern Hemisphere. Here in the south Christmas is largely warm if not blazing hot day and night. New Year is the same, especially as I write this.
How about some depictions of people surfing and celebrating on the beach? If nothing else, it would make the frozen people of the north jealous!! You could even include some kangaroos and wombats and meerkats and penguins.

Helps with developmental delays
My daughter, an adult with developmental disabilities, gains so much from this wonderful game. It improves her spatial reasoning and memory (because we go back and do older pictures), turn taking and creativity and has improved her self confidence! I wish I could show a photo of a drawing game we do to show you what I mean. I divided a whiteboard in half with a permanent marker, vertically. I draw a scene on one half and she is to complete it on the other. She's always been in-confident about her drawing ability etc. After playing this game for several months, she drew a really good whiteboard picture with lots of buildings, just like in the game. I am thrilled! Every day she asks if I want to play "our game", meaning ArtPuzzle. It's really wonderful.

ADORE this game!!!!
***UPDATE!!*** I AM SO HAPPY!!! EVERYTHING IS BACK TO WORKING PERFECTLY!!! THANK YOU!!
I am SO IN LOVE with this game! I’ve been playing for MONTHS & now all of a sudden, when I finish a puzzle and it becomes animated, it deletes some of my favorite features in the picture😓 I updated and restarted my phone but it’s still doing it...if I delete the App & start over, it will make me start back at the 1st puzzle again (I did that already before) and since I’m at 667 puzzles again....I do NOT want to start over. I hope you are able to fix this because it makes the end result very unsatisfying. I want to add that the features that disappear show in the still shot but go away during animation. P.S. I would also LOVE to be able to skip over puzzles that make me uncomfortable too as I’ve seen others mention as well. Thank you😊

Such Fun…
I love this game so much. I’ve been playing it continually for about 6 months and I am totally addicted. I did pay the small fee to remove the ads which makes this game just about perfect. Not only are there hundreds of puzzles but also daily puzzles and challenges to complete. My only complaint is that I have completed everything twice now and there are no new ones added on the main puzzle page. I mean sure, there 1050 on there but I have run out once again. Another good point is that, if you are like me and do run out of puzzles, you can delete the app and when you reload it, it’ll start from scratch. Such Fun…

Hi! Thank you for posting a review! We are overjoyed to receive your compliments and appreciation! We're working on new illustrations and will add new puzzles soon. Stay tuned!
Amazing
This is the only thing that can get me to sleep when my anxiety is spiking! I experience intrusive thoughts and they tend to peak at night, I play this before bed and because I have to concentrate I don’t get the thoughts meaning I can get tired and fall asleep instead of being up all night & having panic attacks! I am so so beyond grateful and happy & the fact this is free makes it 1000x better!
Only hiccup with it is after a few puzzles my app freezes and I have to close the app completely and reopen but apart from that it’s amazing.

Beautiful game
I have only written a review for one other game on the App Store. This is the most beautiful game I’ve played. It is so relaxing to play this game, and I genuinely enjoy the variety of different puzzles on here.
I like doing jigsaws in my spare time. I feel this is a modern interpretation of puzzles, and it is just so nice when you complete one and you see the animation that follows.
The ONLY comment I have is I wish it had more representation of different looks. I don’t think I have seen a character of colour on the puzzles when a person is depicted.

Hello! Thanks for the feedback, we appreciate you sharing with us! We strive to represent all cultures, nationalities, etc. in our app and will add more various illustrations in the future. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!
LOVE LOVE LOVE
UPDATE: Ok… My bad. I emailed them. They responded in a timely manner. I get all the hints I want since I purchased the ad free version! Thank you!
UPDATE: I always play the special events. Why did you take away the number by the hint to let us know how many hints we have earned. I hate that. We work/play to earn them and deserve to know how many we have. On a positive side I paid the $4.99 to have the ads removed! Thank you for offering this option! It is well worth it! —————————————————————————————— I always play for quite a while before I write a review. This is a unique layered puzzle game. I love the art work. I didn’t find the ads too intrusive. I love the daily puzzle and the special ones like ‘Earth Day’. Thank you!

Beautiful app, but……..
There are so many good things about this app. It’s unique, the puzzles are unusual and beautiful, and I love the different themes and the animation at the end, which is a beautiful reward for completing the puzzle. BUT…….what I don’t like are the ads that interrupt the puzzle several times before the it has been completed. I don’t have a problem with ads per se. I understand that they are necessary unless you pay for the puzzle. But it’s intrusive to interrupt a puzzle several times before it’s completed. This is not an issue with the iPad version. Also, if you want a hint in the iPad version, THAT’S when you watch a brief ad, and that’s it. You can do this many times. I don’t mind ads in that instance. And in the iPhone version, I’m limited to only being able to get one hint, and then it says I can no longer get hints. That’s just unacceptable. I’m now stuck in a Daily Challenge puzzle that has so much crammed in to it that I can’t even see the puzzle line clues, so there is no way to complete the puzzle without the availability of a hint. I may just have to delete the app from my iPhone and only play it on my iPad. Please consider mirroring the iPad set up. That would make the Phone version of the puzzle perfect, and earn it a five star review from me!

Please contact us at support@easybrain.com or through the "Help" section in the app's settings regarding the problem with hints. We'll do our best to help!
Beyond flawed
The puzzles are actually fun to complete! But, the ads ( surprise) are way over the top. The puzzles take about 3-4 minutes to complete and the ads were at beginning and end of puzzle 30 sec or more per ad. Unfortunately, now they have added a ad right in the middle of gameplay! So, now you are literally spending half your time watching ads!
I personally will not download any game from a ad that is from a game that is saturated with ads. Matchbox cars will not be under the tree this year. Or that stupid energy drink! I have spent less at Walmart, and will continue this! GET ANNOYED if they inundate us with ads DONT BUY THEIR PRODUCTS. Less money in the pocketbook always works!
I was contacted by the developer to say the ads are just 4-5 seconds long. After that you can opt out! That is a Out and out lie! The ads in the middle of gameplay can be closed after 4 or so secs, but not all of them. Plus now there are two ads during gameplay! One before, two during , and one after . Four ads in four minutes! REMEMBER YOU ARE THE CONSUMER! If you don’t like being bombarded with ads DON’T BUY THE PRODUCT!!!

Hi! Thanks for your feedback. We are sorry ads bother you. After 5 seconds since the beginning of a video ad, there must appear an option to skip the ad: a fast forward or a cross-shaped button. If there's no such button, please contact us via the "Help" in the app and attach a screenshot of the ad which cannot be skipped, we'll block it. We'll be happy to help!
