## What is Jigsaw Stories For Kids?

Puzzling has never been this lively!

In Jigsaw Stories for Kids, children don’t just put together simple pictures — they complete little animated 3D worlds full of movement and stories.

At the airport, airplanes take off and land. In an exciting race, cars speed around the track. Ships are loaded, trains arrive and depart — and in every scene, there is something new to discover.

The app combines classic jigsaw puzzling with lovingly animated mini stories. This creates a special puzzle experience where not only the finished picture is exciting, but also everything that happens inside it.

What children can look forward to:
- Animated 3D puzzles instead of static pictures
- Little everyday scenes and exciting mini stories
- Themes such as airports, racing cars, ships, trains and more
- Child-friendly controls for ages 4 to 8
- Playful support for concentration, observation and logical thinking
- New details to discover again and again in the moving scenes

Each puzzle becomes a little world of its own: children put the pieces together and watch the scene come to life. This keeps puzzling varied, exciting and motivating. Jigsaw Stories for Kids is ideal for little explorers who love puzzles, observing details and experiencing stories.

### 3/5 — sound doesnt work

*2024-08-02*

we love this but the sound stopped working

### 5/5 — Macht

*2023-11-10*

extrem viel Spaß

### 4/5 — Cool

*2023-01-12*

Really cool

### 5/5 — Good for young children

*2022-10-21*

I thought this would be more like goragoa or a jigsaw puzzle. It is like a child's block game. It is designed for young children. Only two pieces are offered to the user at a time so not much puzzle to it. It’s cute but not much here for adults,

### 4/5 — Glitch

*2022-02-07*

I've noticed a lot of reviews that are confused by how the IAP works. There is also a glitch though. If you play straight through all 4 parts of a level, it allows you to play them all but when you get back to the main screen, only the first 2 are unlocked. You have to close out of each part when finished to have them all unlocked to the point where you can play any part whenever you like.
(I tried to find a way to just message this to the dev but clicking "App Support" just takes you to a blog.. So I'm doing this instead since they seem to actually read these.)

### 5/5 — Bien

*2022-01-06*

Rigolo

### 5/5 — Clarification Received from Developer

*2022-01-04*

UPDATE:
Prompt reply and explanation received. 

Many thanks and look forward to enjoying THIS FUN App!!!  Also, appreciate the time and effort in creating this App

Prior Question:
Unlocked this App which which states that the full version is included free today. Not certain whether further levels are free or not. Kind of misleading. I’ll wait for a reply from the Developer

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review. The In-App-Purchase only unlocks the two remaining locations (racetrack and harbor) and all puzzle sizes. You still need to complete the first puzzle in a location to unlock the second puzzle in the same location and so on. Sorry for the confusion.

### 1/5 — Misleading description

*2022-01-04*

Unlocking additional levels costs money despite the fact that the game description states a free unlock

**Developer response:** Sorry for the confusion. The description wasn't updated. Thank you for playing our game.

### 5/5 — Good clean fun!

*2022-01-03*

I love this unique style of puzzle combining a traditional puzzle with a video. I like how you can choose from a variety of puzzle sizes. I would like to see an ultra easy level with just 4 puzzle pieces too- for little ones. I hope you come out with more of these puzzle apps with different scenes.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your really nice review and your suggestion. We will add a 4 pieces mode in one of the next updates.

### 5/5 — Easy, or hard, you choose.

*2022-01-02*

When you complete a puzzle, you can sit back and watch the animation. Each level is a different area of the whole animation. 

Both adults and kids can use the app. 

No ads. (I got the full version immediately, so I cannot say if there are ads on the free version).

**Developer response:** Thanks for your really nice review.
