Please respond. ### 4/5 — Help!!!! *2015-12-01, version 2.5.6* After the last update I can't open the program. Help please! ### 4/5 — Very nice app *2015-10-30, version 2.5.6* Like this jigsaw app a lot. The selection is good. I like the board and whole presentation. One of the few puzzles that has the option of portrait or landscape. The Big Plus for me is that I can turn OFF that intrusive, irritating, compulsory Apple game centre. Would be nice if it had some 'vintage' type puzzles as well as the wallpaper ones. ### 3/5 — Bright jigsaw puzzle *2015-10-07, version 2.5.6* Have been using this and loving it for years. With second last iOS download the puzzle comes up on the screen then goes back to desktop on my I pad. Hope you can help as the puzzles cost to download. Cheers Helene Thank you 4 fixing this issue cheers Helene ### 4/5 — Bright Puzzles for iPad *2014-07-15, version 2.5.5* Why can't I get the Flickr pictures anymore? All I get is a blank gray screen. Before I was able to get a huge amount of puzzles. HELP! Dadnie Borras ### 3/5 — Bravo *2012-11-29, version 2.3.0* Quel travail soigné ! Un vrai plaisir ! Aujourd'hui déception : j'ai acheté les puzzles sortis ce jour, j'ai les bonnes images mais les pièces de puzzle ne sont pas les bonnes !!!! Que faire ? Je tempère aujourd'hui mon enthousiasme du début car si les photos gratuites étaient de qualité ce n'est pas le cas des photos achetées par la suite : leur définition est lamentable ! Ni l'ipad ni nous ne méritons ces photos de piètre qualité !!! Août 2011 : c'est la totale : plantage ......... Octobre 2011 : il me manque les trois dernières images de mon achat du jour (Australie) !!! Et pas de contact à qui le signaler ! Novembre 2012 : un réel confort depuis le classement des puzzles par thèmes, merci ! En revanche, la qualité des photos n'est toujours pas au rendez-vous ! ### 3/5 — Good.....BUT *2012-11-27, version 2.3.0* Like this app a lot but a bug needs fixed!!!!! When you complete one puzzle it does not clear the board and forces you to build your new puzzle on top of the other one.......FIX PLEASE... No where to contact maker!!!!!!!!! ### 3/5 — Addictive but problems *2012-11-04, version 2.2.1* Very addictive but "tray" of pieces is too low and finishing the top border is very difficult. ### 2/5 — Great app... But *2012-09-25, version 2.2.1* It keeps quitting unexpectedly and then does not save the unfinished puzzle. This is different then my closing the app, it just quits! Other than that I am addicted. ### 2/5 — bien pero... *2012-09-02, version 2.2.1* Ya funciona, gracias en ese sentido pero........ los packs de 20 puzzles que se hacen en nada cuestan ahora 1,59 € el doble de los 0,79 € que costaban antes de la actualización . En mi opinión es exageradamente caro. ### 2/5 — Okay, until it loses your work *2012-07-28, version 2.2.0* I really liked this app until, on two occasions, it lost all of the work I'd done on two different puzzles (the last time was after the latest update)...just threw it away, forcing me to start all over again. This app needs work to be more robust than that. Very disappointing. ### 4/5 — Bright puzzles *2012-07-27, version 2.2.0* I enjoy this game a lot and so does my daughter and granddaughter! I recommend it to anyone who loves puzzles! ### 2/5 — Not as much fun as I hoped *2012-07-23, version 2.1.0* The pictures are cool. The pieces Are large enough...but all the pieces are the same shape so it's not fun. The option to display corners, etc are okay, but it takes away the challenge. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on a new iPad 11 Pro *2020-06-12, version 2.6.2* The app doesn’t work with a new gen iPad 11 Pro. The screen only displays 2/3 of the board. The whole reason I got an new iPad was to have a larger screen. ### 1/5 — Fix this now please! *2017-07-08, version 2.6.1* This app used to work great until the last update! Now all I get is white puzzle pieces and I can't select anything because it is not on the screen! I have been using the ipad3 and just got the iPad Pro, it does the same thing on both! What in the world is going on?! I will give it more stars when it works again! ### 1/5 — not good at all *2015-11-06, version 2.5.6* freezing after few sec, useless... ### 1/5 — Missing package *2013-11-26, version 2.5.5* I have purchased at least two packages that have disappeared. One was a Christmas package. For this reason I will not purchase another package until the ones I purchased reappear. Also, this App crashes a lot. ### 1/5 — Bad App *2013-08-12, version 2.5.1* I have had nothing but trouble with this app. I have version 2.5.1 and new packages came with 2.5.0 platform. I tried sending an email to the support group they listed and Daemon returned it to me! Even the email doesn't work. This is the second time ai am posting this review. The first one hasn't shown up under Write a Review! ### 1/5 — Bright puzzle *2013-04-16, version 2.4.1* I used to love this game but I don't like how you have it now. After the last update I have lost most of the puzzles that I have bought from before. Before the last update I had to up load all the puzzles on this one side and never got a chance to add them back in Please put it back the way it was before the last update and I will rate it higher. ### 1/5 — Deleted it within 5 mins. *2013-01-30, version 2.4.0* Check out Magic Puzzles. You need a tray that separates the pieces so you don't have to dig through a pile of pieces looking for the edge pieces. For play on an ipad, this app fails. ### 1/5 — Error! *2012-12-09, version 2.3.0* The new version delete all image packages that I bought. Sorry... But I want my money back? ### 1/5 — Not-So-Bright Puzzles! *2012-11-13, version 2.3.0* With this last update, we're now subjected to ads! I purchased this app when it first appeared in the App Store in order to avoid ads (I hate ads and will not download free apps). Now, I will get these damn ads just the same. The improvements to this app have been good so far, but the ads just killed it for me. If it doesn't change, I will eventually delete this app. Grr! ### 1/5 — ??? *2012-06-29, version 2.0.0* Don't updates mean more content for free the fixing of bugs??? My grandmother got the new puzzles on Bright Puzzles but the Venice puzzles keep on crashing. Why can't the puzzles be free? This is the type of company that should tell you that their app may still have some puzzles that may have problems. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Will not fit on new iPad *2024-10-13, version 2.6.2* See above ### 5/5 — I love it!!!!! *2014-07-20, version 2.5.6* I love this puzzles!!! Their so cute and so pretty. It's the best!!! ### 5/5 — My favorite *2014-01-10, version 2.5.5* This is a great app. It has a lot of nice puzzles and features i really appreciate like a nice snap down (no juggling pieces trying to find the right position). The separate tray with all pieces is one of my favorite features. All in all a step up from the other similar apps. ### 5/5 — Great App - 1 of My Favs!!! *2013-06-30, version 2.5.1* I LOVE this app! It truly is 1 of the BEST Puzzle apps! ### 5/5 — Bright Puzzles *2013-06-16, version 2.5.1* Love, love, love the Bright Puzzle game! The pics are almost 3 dimensional. I purchased many puzzle groups for .99, and they are superior to other puzzle game!!! ### 5/5 — プルダウンメニューが欲しい！！ *2012-08-26, version 2.2.1* 20枚の写真に付いているタイトルで、プルダウンメニューが欲しいです。 パズル写真購入で20のパズルが手に入りますが、購入数が増えると、目的のパズルまで、 スクロールで、探すのが大変でした。 ### 5/5 — TB *2012-08-09, version 2.2.1* Great AV. Best puzzle AP I have found. Addictive! ### 5/5 — The best puzzle app. *2012-08-04, version 2.2.0* I am hooked on this app. The puzzle looks like a puzzle when it's made and changes into a photo after. You can even make puzzles out of your own photos. The layout is easy to use and support is great. I highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Sandy *2012-05-12, version 2.0.0* Love your new look! Waiting anxiously for new puzzles. ### 5/5 — This is absolutely fantastic! *2012-01-23, version 1.9.1* I love the way a person can display edges, or first, second, third, or fourth quarter puzzle pieces, or all pieces at once. Makes it sooo much nicer to work the jigsaws in such confined space as an iPad. The photos he has chosen are also superlative! Great job, Dev! Truly a great job!
