Different concept

### 5/5 — Addictive!

*2012-09-25, version 1.9*

Highly addictive puzzle game! Have purchased a few extra packs and they are great value for money and keep me amused for hours!

### 4/5 — Fun game to pass the time

*2012-08-11, version 1.9*

Interesting twist on the classic jigsaw puzzle. Would love to see more challenging levels as I finished even the "hard" ones quickly and maybe more puzzles in the starter pack? But a great app nonetheless!

### 5/5 — Excellent fun

*2012-08-10, version 1.9*

If you love jigsaw. This app is for you!!

### 5/5 — Addictive

*2012-08-05*

Once I got the concept of the different difficulties, I was hooked!  Great mental challenge.  My friend told me about this app..glad he did.

### 5/5 — Great puzzles

*2012-07-16, version 1.9*

Pretty challenging and suitable for iPad or iPhone

### 5/5 — Great puzzles

*2012-07-05, version 1.9*

I love: the pictures, being able to choose my difficulty, the distortion.
This one is always calling to me!

### 4/5 — Cool game!

*2012-07-01, version 1.9*

This is a cool game. I wouldn't mind a title of the picture upon solving. I still can't tell what one picture is. Baked apples or Au gratin potatoes? Need more FREE puzzles to solve please!

### 5/5 — Fun app

*2012-06-08, version 1.9*

Fairly simple puzzles provide quick fun and sense of accomplishment.  Keep the puzzle packs coming!

### 5/5 — Distorted jigsaw

*2012-06-06, version 1.9*

I enjoy this game, it can be challenging, but fun.

### 5/5 — Surprisingly challenging

*2012-05-27, version 1.9*

I downloaded this app for my preschooler, but I ended up enjoying it myself. As a puzzle enthusiast who is skeptical about the level of challenge offered by most puzzle-based games, I found this app elegant and challenging. Each jigsaw piece is stretched to its current position's frame, so it is not as easy as you'd expect.

### 5/5 — Great fun

*2012-05-18, version 1.9*

Wonderful puzzles.  You choose the difficulty.  Terrific buy for the money. Hubby and I are working on all the various levels and options. Highly recommend.  Hours of enjoyment.

### 3/5 — Fun game, gets a bit expensive if you want to keep playing

*2014-01-03, version 1.11*

The concept is fun and the puzzles are nice. There's a good mix of different types of pictures. The app you buy originally is basically a light version, though- has ads with sound you can't shut off and only a limited number of puzzles. Additional puzzles can be purchased in-game, $3 for each pack.

### 3/5 — Quick Fix

*2012-02-05, version 1.8*

Great little app for puzzle enthusiasts who like a quick challenge!

### 3/5 — Nice but...

*2011-11-03, version 1.6*

I love the game, its great but... I have purchased all of the puzzle packs and now with the current upgrade, it has ADS!!!! I support the games I like, partly to keep ads gone and find this very annoying... Had I realized the upgrade had new ads, I would not have paid for it.  Otherwise, its a good game

### 3/5 — Not a free game

*2011-09-08, version 1.2*

Although it says it is a free, it really is not. The  basic game is free but only comes wit a few pictures. The picture in iTunes shows that the two add on packs are free but really they are not. They are really $1.99 each. Went looking for information on the add ins  and found no information either the add nor at web sight. Put in trouble ticket requesting information on them buy company refuses to answer 
Me. Their FAQ also do not address the two add in packs. What else are they trying to hide when they don't provide basic info on a product they are trying to sell,

### 3/5 — Ok

*2011-05-05, version 1.0*

Good app but needs more pictures cause once done who wants to do them again?

### 3/5 — David

*2011-05-04, version 1.0*

Good app needs full picture to start with, maybe a peek button.

### 4/5 — Relaxing anf fun

*2017-06-24, version 2.0.5*

I enjoy playing Kento to help me wind down at the end of the day. The game is simple but engaging.

### 4/5 — Great but...

*2015-10-24, version 1.12*

These puzzles are very good and challenging but... I'm so tired of all my work disappearing and going back to unsolved puzzles every time there is an iPhone major update. I've done more than 100 puzzles and want them to stay solved. Hey, developers, it is an accomplished thing - I like seeing what I have accomplished. Plus, I already know what the solved puzzle looks like. Part of the fun is in uncovering what the picture is. 

Don't the developers realize that they lose money by not keeping the puzzles in the solved position. It just makes one redo them again and thus discourages purchasing more puzzles.  

Also, puzzles that I had gotten for free go back to the have-to-purchase stage when there is an iPhone major update. 

I'm not even sure this app is being supported any longer by the developers. Too bad, it is really quite good.

### 4/5 — Hey, This Is Fun

*2014-05-18, version 1.12*

Played this game with cardboard tiles 25 years ago.  Simple and intuitive UI makes the digital version a fun diversion. The use your own photo add on is worth it.

### 4/5 — Different & challenging

*2013-01-07, version 1.9*

Fun new way to work challenging puzzles

### 5/5 — I wish you’d add some more.

*2023-07-25, version 2.0.5*

That’s it really.

### 5/5 — Kento Jigsaw Puzzle

*2018-08-31, version 2.0.5*

Great game, very challenging

### 5/5 — Highly Addictive

*2018-04-12, version 2.0.5*

Loving this app,later puzzles are more challenging so very entertaining

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2018-04-08, version 2.0.5*

Love that this challenges me. Most of these things are too easy. Only thing I don't like is that it's not in landscape mode. Kinda hard to use the iPad in this mode but still well worth playing!

### 5/5 — Kento: Wow! Cool

*2018-03-28, version 2.0.5*

J'aime ce genre de casse-tête où on doit replacer les morceaux au bon endroit. Pour avoir une idée de l'image, on peut choisir "Easy" et pour compliquer un peu le jeu, on choisit "Hard". Vraiment intéressant.

### 5/5 — Perfect way to ward off boredom

*2016-06-27, version 2.0.5*

I love this puzzle. Challenging enough to be entertaining but not to the point of consuming too much of your time. Recommend you get it.

### 5/5 — Best puzzle app

*2016-02-18, version 2.0.5*

I've had this app for years and never get tired of it.  There are four levels of difficulty for each jigsaw picture which is broken down into squares and rectangles of varying sizes. It's great for all ages with no learning curve. I wish more puzzles packs were available though.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2014-10-26, version 1.12*

Love it is a great game.

### 5/5 — Innovative puzzle app!

*2014-06-13, version 1.12*

I enjoyed finding this one... I guess it's been around for a while?  The puzzles are interesting pictures, and certainly different than a regular jigsaw, so I'm having fun with it.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2014-05-24, version 1.12*

Lots of fun and a nice variety of puzzles. I recommend it to anyone who likes puzzles. You won't be disappointed.
