It's great...but...
This is a very well done, very relaxing "game." But.
My main issue is that this thing is a serious battery hog. On a new iPad mini I only get maybe a couple of hours with it before my battery drops to about 20%. My iPad Pro doesn't get me much more time.
So, to get any kind of longevity with the app, the device pretty much needs to be plugged in. I'm sticking with it though, and I look forward to some much needed optimization in a future update.Show lessGoaltender66
Great game, aside from one thing.
This game is amazing. I love the pictures, the music is wonderful and very calming. I’ve been quite addicted to this since I’ve downloaded it. The one bad thing though, is the drain on your battery. I have a 2 month old iPhone 14 pro and this game drains my battery so unbelievably fast. Not to mention it makes my phone very warm after playing it for awhile. But, that aside, it’s a great game that I really enjoy.Show lessGtpguy
Super cute game, but bad if you’re dyslexic
I’m specifically speaking about them encouraging you to switch between story mode and illustration mode, to help the puzzle go by faster.
Cute idea, but if you're dyslexic like me, then trying to match a lot of desaturated words together will give you a headache after about 3 minutes. That’s not even an expression, my eyes are straining so much and now my head hurts lol. I would stick with solely illustration mode! It’ll take longer, but it’ll save you a lot of stress.Show lessOliveAce
Awesome puzzle game!
Love the artwork and quotes with the ability to switch between modes. The only issue I’ve seen so far is when you go to grab a puzzle piece it doesn’t always register you’re touching a piece so you have to repeatedly go back to grab it and when it doesn’t register sometimes it will close the app with how close they are to the bottom of the screen when playing in portrait mode.Show lessmatti16
Crashes on larger puzzles
Nice game overall, sometimes it’s difficult to pick up a piece to move it. Love the images and the ability to just piece the puzzle without the words. What I don’t love is that when I got to puzzle 14 in Dreamlands, the game crashed multiple times while I tried to scroll through the pieces. I finally gave up and just forced my way through placing the pieces in the order they were presented, and that mostly worked, although I did still have a couple of crashes. I did not have this problem on any of the smaller puzzles. I’m going to take a break from this game and will come back when it’s had an update. Love the concept!!Show lessalcatomhar
Controls are very cumbersome
First I want to say what a great implementation of a puzzle game. It is actually challenging and fun to work through puzzles plus the amazing artwork is just so good!! Now for the negative, the controls are pretty bad. Scrolling through the puzzle pieces while trying not to pick up every one you accidentally touch is quite frustrating. Pulling pieces from the bar to place on the puzzle is really tedious, if you don’t get a match the first time out you have to start all over. Drag the piece back to the bar and start again, the reason is because the second time around you have to fight the floating puzzle board all while not able to see the piece because it resides under your finger. Just a suggestion, maybe include a button isolates and locks certain objects from being acted upon.Show lessKrusnik Abel
Beautiful Puzzles-Sorting 🤔
The puzzles are absolutely gorgeous… That being said, I could not find a way to be able to separate your puzzle pieces so that, for example, you can see all of the border pieces at once versus having to scroll through everything… Other than that no complaints :-)CatsnCoffee
Puzzle Won’t Load
So, I’ve really enjoyed this game so far. I think it is a very interesting and unique puzzle game. However, there seems to be a problem with the Van Gogh’s Early Years series. I completed the first 9 pictures with no problem, but the tenth puzzle in the series will not load. Every time I try to play it I get stuck on puzzle loading until I close the app (no matter how long I wait). I haven’t had this issue with any other pictures, everything else still seems to load just fine, but I would really like to finish that series and I can’t bc of this issue :(. If not for this I would probably rate the app 5 stars. Please fix this!!Show lessJamEv17
Developer Response
Hi there thank you for the feedback!! We have an update coming out soon which we believe will fix this, but in the meantime would you be so kind as to email us at support@borderleap.com so we can help you directly via email? Thank you!!Almost perfect
This game is gorgeous and almost perfect. The only problem is a number of puzzles must be played in landscape mode, but there is no option to move the puzzle pieces to the left side of the screen for left-handed players. This means for landscape puzzles I’m constantly dragging pieces from right to left, under my hand, blocking my view of the playing area. Adding a lefty option would make a world of difference for us southpaws.Show lessTdc1060
Awesome, relaxing and informative
Great jigsaw game with a twist. Love that you have quotes from or notes about the artist who’s work you are solving.
I do have a suggestion: it would be nice if there is an option to “lock” the screen in place when you would like, it would avoid having the puzzle accidentally moving around the screen.
Even with that minor “flaw” this app is incredibly addictive.Show lessbejeweled bewildered
