### 2/5 — Piece Rotation

*2026-09-01, version 4.9.0*

This latest update appears to have removed the option to rotate the pieces. I have had this app for years and enjoyed the puzzles, however it’s very disappointing to have the rotation disappear. That’s what made the puzzles interesting and enjoyable. Please restore the rotation or advise how I can do this myself. Thanks

### 3/5 — Too Many Ads

*2026-09-01, version 4.9.0*

Puzzles are great but the ads are way too much. Sometimes happens after placing one piece. I get it, ads are what keep the app free but at the same time there needs to be a balance where it is not all the time.

### 3/5 — Too many Ads

*2026-08-31, version 4.9.0*

This used to be my go to game. Unfortunately the ads have become more common. I’m getting an ad every two to three puzzle pieces.

### 2/5 — UPDATED!! Was 4 stars…

*2026-08-31, version 4.9.0*

I had been playing this app for a couple of years and have really enjoyed it. The only reason I gave it two stars rather than one is because their puzzle selection is amazing. However, this latest update simplified play so much, that it’s no longer challenging. I enjoy jigsaws because they are challenging to put together, and the previous version made it feel more realistic. Now, the pieces are fixed (can’t rotate), and players no longer have access to the work area outside of the puzzle border. These and other “improvements” leave players with limited options. If you enjoy, not having to think to put a puzzle together, this is the app for you.

### 2/5 — To Many ads

*2026-08-31, version 4.9.0*

The game is self is good but it stops being relaxing when every ten seconds there’s an ad  it’s kinda enraging

### 4/5 — Can’t move puzzle around

*2026-08-31, version 4.9.0*

The last update doesn’t allow me to move the puzzle around. I can’t put pieces in the top and bottom to work with them.

### 2/5 — Not happy with latest changes

*2026-08-31, version 4.9.0*

I love the jigsaw app and play practically every day. I have the paid version. Unfortunately there’s a couple of changes in the last update which spoil it for me. First, moving the edges icon from the bottom to the side toolbar, and moving the eye icon further up, so the arm has to be extended more to reach it. The worst is the fact that the puzzle can’t be moved around on the background, which I always do for different sections of the puzzle to avoid having to move my fingers over the whole board all the time. Please at least change that. 
Edit: I’ve now found that chosen pieces cannot be placed outside the puzzle perimeter, but automatically move to inside the puzzle. This is hopeless! I can’t assemble or sort pieces, and the puzzle becomes invisible. This is now impossible for me to use. Fix it.

### 2/5 — Good puzzles

*2026-08-30, version 4.9.0*

Good puzzles and fun to play but there’s adds every 30 second which is really annoying todo a 100 piece puzzle your dealing with 15 to 20 ad

### 2/5 — Disappointed with updates 😒🤔😒🤔😒🤔

*2026-08-30, version 4.9.0*

I have been doing puzzles in this app for a long time and I have noticed since the update you can no longer piece the puzzle together outside of the edges.  All of the pieces will pile up on the edges.  Also, why can’t the pieces be moved in or out.  How is someone to piece the puzzle together for completion.

### 3/5 — Segmented play option

*2026-08-28, version 4.9.0*

Is now gone. It made the game so much more enjoyable as trying to do puzzles with the prices now a quarter to a tenth of the size is impossible and will probably cause me to give up playing it. It was 5 stars until this change. I used to play daily for hours.

### 3/5 — fun but ad infested

*2026-08-28, version 4.9.0*

good puzzles. really fun. but every 4 puzzle pieces you do, you’re being overtaken with an ad break. super annoying how frequent it is.

### 3/5 — puzzle

*2026-08-28, version 4.8.0*

when i clicked on the mail button it sent me to safari and said it gave me a virus

### 2/5 — What happened?

*2026-08-27, version 4.8.0*

I have the paid version and the events are unplayable?

### 2/5 — Omg! The Ads!

*2026-08-26, version 4.8.0*

You cannot play this puzzle game without it interrupting you LITERALLY every 30 seconds to make you watch ads. I couldn’t even get 5 pieces set without having watched another ad. Beyond annoying and aggravating. It was not like this when I first started playing this app. Don’t get sucked if you despise constant ads like me!!!

### 3/5 — TOO MANY ADS

*2026-08-26, version 4.8.0*

I place maybe 3 pieces before every ad, I’ll get out of one ad then place a piece then get another, please fix this. It makes me want to stop playing the game entirely because I cant finish a 64 piece puzzle without watching 10 ads.

### 1/5 — Ad killer

*2026-09-01, version 4.9.0*

Too many stupid ads every 5 seconds

### 1/5 — Update

*2026-08-31, version 4.9.0*

This update stinks. Functions that made the puzzles fun and easy to do are gone. Puzzle pieces can’t be placed outside the frame. Can’t put pieces off the board once taken out of line up  I tried to do a puzzle a day but no more.

### 1/5 — Bring back the old version PLEASE!!

*2026-08-31, version 4.9.0*

Please bring back the old version. This new version doesn’t allow the way that the old version did. I don’t like not being able to do the puzzles in sections.

### 1/5 — Too many ads.

*2026-08-31, version 4.9.0*

Everytime I clicked out of an ad and placed 1 piece I was immediately pulled into another one?

### 1/5 — Still Forces Ads

*2026-08-31, version 4.9.0*

Paid for an ad free experience and now I am again receiving ads. “Restore Purchases” does not work. Ripoff and greed destroyed this game.

### 1/5 — Agree with yeszy

*2026-08-30, version 4.9.0*

Rubbish game, rubbish game, rubbish game, rubbish game too many adverts, too many adverts

### 1/5 — Stupid decision

*2026-08-30, version 4.9.0*

Worst update to an app ever. It’s a site to
Play puzzles not earn points. I want to play puzzles in events , not have to only have 2 options to play puzzles.  If you want to keep the stupid key functions provide more ways to play puzzles

### 1/5 — Too many adds.

*2026-08-30, version 4.9.0*

You only get to place 3 pieces, and then you’re forced to watch an add.  Very annoying and ridiculous.  I get watching an add, but every 3 plays is excessively stupid.

### 1/5 — Too much ads

*2026-08-26, version 4.8.0*

you cant get more than 5 pieces without an ad
And to remove the ads you have to pay 15$

### 1/5 — Too Many Ads

*2026-08-25, version 4.8.0*

I like the puzzles but the ads are getting ridiculous. One puzzle piece solved then another ad. Sometimes it takes maybe 5-10 puzzle pieces before an ad but still. With 200 pieces that is a lot of ad. And then when you complete a puzzle there is an ad. When you start another puzzle there’s an ad. I understand when you start one, but when you finish is different. I like the quality of the game, but the ads are a hindrance.

Reply: The Ads definitely enhances something. Developers’ pockets and players’ irritation with the game.

This game actually helps with education.

### 5/5 — Too many ads

*2026-08-23, version 4.8.0*

Great game and way to pass the time enjoying a jigsaw and I love the different seasonal jigsaws too but there is far too many adverts. You literally can place 1-3 pieces and an advert pops up. Infuriating
