Encore des jeux gratuits s’il vous plait ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads, Ads and more Ads! *2025-12-09, version 12.2* I have been using this app for years and put up with the occasional ads. Recently however, the ads are popping up after just a few jigsaw pieces put in place. I realise that to have a free app one has to put up with some ads, but this has now become ridiculous, so reluctantly I am now going to remove it from my appliance. ### 2/5 — Too Many Ads *2025-10-21, version 12.1* This used to be a really good app, but lately they have opted to interrupt play with ads every couple of minutes. They are often sleazy, offensive political ads too. I am switching. ### 3/5 — Missing pieces *2020-08-02, version 9.4* Puzzles are great, and I have worked 4-5 of them. Two of the puzzles are missing pieces. ### 3/5 — Review of jigsaw genius *2020-02-11, version 9.3* The pieces don’t move very well when I move they. It’s frustrating. ### 3/5 — Jigsaw genius *2020-01-27, version 9.3* The puzzles are fun but there have been a few where the final couple of pieces don’t fit. ### 3/5 — Jigsaw *2018-07-17, version 6.9* Could be better if pieces were seemingly sturdy with well defined edges. Seem to be too thin/ flimsy. ### 4/5 — My favourite Funtime. *2022-08-16, version 11.6* As I grow older,now 84,there isn’t too much left in live for the elderly,like myself,to do just to take up our spare time.But now that I have been given an I PAD to play with,I am enjoying so many new things including my favourite,Jig Saws. They make your mind work,finding all the bits and pieces,and it makes putting them together and finishing them a very pleasant game indeed.I just love it,and some of the pictures are so beautiful when put together,they become a great ending to the game,Thank you to Jigsaw Puzzles for making my “Old Age years” a pleasure to cope with. love,love,love them all.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 ### 4/5 — Kath Shenton *2022-07-07, version 11.6* I’ve been playing jigsaw for years these are brilliant colour is outstanding graphics great and the pieces slot together easily l think it’s great ### 4/5 — Lost the area to put my sorted pieces *2020-06-20, version 9.4* I really like this app so much that I paid to have the ads removed but after I did the areas along the sides went away. I can’t sort my pieces anymore without putting them inside the puzzle area. How can I fix this? ### 4/5 — Gorgeous, wonderful...but *2018-05-29, version 6.9* Please remove the shadow that appears every time you press a piece. Very annoying. Amazing other than that. Thank you. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App! *2024-06-13, version 11.9* I love jigsaw puzzles and was using another app I was very happy with but they became a little too greedy for me. When they required me to subscribe to their “VIP” option in order to download puzzles I have already purchased to my device, at a substantial $20/month, I said goodbye and looked for another app. This app is very good, there are a few perks they don’t have but they let me download to my device so I’m able to use when there is no WiFi available. I can live with that! The only thing I can “complain” about is the placement of the ads. The ads themself are small and unobtrusive and I understand the need for them but the placement of them gets in my way and I’m always hitting them by accident and being sent to various websites. I still prefer this app over the other one! Keep up the good work! ### 5/5 — Jigsaw *2023-03-19, version 11.7* I have spent many enjoyable hours playing this app. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2023-03-14* I love jigsaw puzzles and was using another app I was very happy with but they became a little too greedy for me.

The pictures are all so different. ### 5/5 — Puzzles *2023-03-01, version 11.7* I love these puzzles and especially the help Roy gives me when I need it. I spend hours working on the puzzles. I am 85 and in a nursing home… Thank you all for your support. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2023-01-17* Super fun and if you have any problems the lovely app developer responds super fast with a solution. ### 5/5 — Nice variety of puzzles and piece shapes. *2023-01-09, version 11.7* Play puzzles as complicated as you want! ### 5/5 — My favorite puzzle app *2022-09-23, version 11.6* Enjoying Jigsaw genius. My favorite ### 5/5 — Fun sizes *2022-06-13, version 11.6* I enjoy this app better than most because of the variety of pictures, and sections. Give this a try….you’ll be glad you did ### 5/5 — The Best Puzzle App Out There! *2022-05-28, version 11.6* I’ve tried dozens of puzzle apps and jigsaw genius is, by far, the best one out there. I’ve been playing it now for at least five years and I enjoy it as much or more than when I started playing it. The puzzles are beautiful and cover a great variety of subjects. There are very limited ads which is a real plus. Many of the puzzles have also helped me strengthen my knowledge base of history and geography. When I complete a really lovely puzzle, I tend to Google the location and I learn a great deal. Lastly, I can’t say enough about the excellent customer service provided by the puzzle developers. I recently had to purchase a new iPad and a Nook and had difficulty transferring my puzzle library from the old equipment to the new. I contacted the developer and Roy went above and beyond to help me transfer all of my puzzles over to my new equipment. I had worked with him before on another problem and he was fantastic. I can’t say enough about the excellent support that you receive with this app. Please give Jigsaw Genius a try. I promise you won’t be disappointed! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
