### 1/5 — Reversed pieces you can change

*2018-10-20, version 2.11*

Like the title says

### 2/5 — Almost good

*2018-01-21*

While it is different to a regular puzzle app but still fun there are still problems:

1. Include a settings to do things like muting the music

2. More puzzles please rather than only one sample puzzle and then a $2 fee to make our own puzzles

3. When you move a piece to be close to another piece that it doesn’t match with it would be nice if it isn’t sent automatically back to its original place.

### 5/5 — Great

*2016-05-09*

Fun game to play. Very addictive.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2015-02-11, version 1.8*

Don't waste your time. Would give zero stars if possible.

### 3/5 — 面白いけど！

*2014-10-19*

結構凝ったピースの形で、面白いのですが、あまりにも操作性が悪すぎるので、星三つです。

これで一番多いピースを完成するのは、かなり難しそうです。

### 1/5 — I hate it

*2014-08-27, version 1.7*

You can't even tell how to fit the pieces together. I HATE THIS STINKING GAME

### 1/5 — Nice Picts. Bad manipulative features

*2014-06-10, version 1.6*

Pieces are difficult to move.  Difficult to see pieces in relation to each other and to puzzle as a whole.

### 1/5 — Schlecht

*2014-04-24*

Furchtbar. Es ist Glückssache ob sich das Puzzleteil bewegen oder drehen lässt. Mal ja, mal nein. Aber sehr oft passiert gar nichts. Nicht zu empfehlen

### 1/5 — Jigsaw Puzzle 500+

*2014-04-13*

The Worst!! Couldn't have been worse if they tried to design the most frustrating app ever. I agree with the comments about difficulty in moving the pieces. Also very difficult to see the shapes to place them. I'm dumping this loser as soon as I see this review on the site. Save yourself from having to waste your time dumping this loser. Read  the reviews and avoid the frustration.

### 1/5 — Rarer

*2014-02-05, version 1.6*

Pretty but complete frustrating . Not even one star
