I hope this gets fixed soon! ### 2/5 — Poor functionality, beautiful images *2026-06-10, version 2.2* Whoever created this app seems never to have played with actual puzzles ever in their life. You can’t get pieces that clearly fit together to stay attached unless they’re on the right locations, and tapping any piece already on the board makes the piece menu shift to a blank space where that piece was dragged from - what on earth is the point of that? You can’t have pieces overlap either, so when you have half a dozen linked pieces, you have to move them all one by one if you find a piece that goes in one of their spots. All this is really irritating, which is a shame because the images are fantastic, including a series of Van Gogh paintings at the moment. Fundamentally unplayable. ### 3/5 — Frustrating *2026-05-27, version 2.2* I love this puzzle app, but it can be really frustrating at times. It freezes up if I choose the “wrong” puzzle or gallery (after completing a puzzle or gallery) - even though I choose one of the listed options. General instructions would probably help to avoid some issues. ### 4/5 — Great game *2026-03-31, version 2.1* Had trouble playing it on Apple TV but seems to be working ok now. ### 5/5 — Calm and Relaxing *2026-02-11, version 2.1* Great for winding down. The Van Gogh partnership is great! The new audio tracks really start to hit a peaceful trance after a while of playing. ### 5/5 — Beautiful Game *2026-01-24, version 2.1* Lovely relaxing music and wonderful paintings ### 5/5 — 'Puzzle au top *2026-01-16* Très sympa, relaxant ### 3/5 — Could be fun… *2026-01-12, version 2.1* The image needs to be brighter so you can see it. ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2026-01-12, version 2.1* So fun and a new way to see art ### 3/5 — Eigentlich wirklich schön! *2026-01-10* Aaaber mir geht tierisch auf die Nerven, dass ich nicht weiß, wie ich zurück ins Hauptmenü komme, ohne die App komplett zu und wieder auf zu machen! Wie bitte geht das??? ### 2/5 — Não Roda Bem no Mac *2026-01-03* Esse jogo é ótimo no iPad (lindo e relaxante - a gente monta um quebra-cabeças usando a imagem e a história por trás), mas no Mac faz muito tempo que não há atualizações (quase um ano!) e ocorrem muitos crashes (jogo fechando do nada) e funções básicas tipo aparecer as peças do quebra-cabeças as minhas as vezes ficam completamente em branco, o fundo de montar fica em branco também não importa se em modo escuro ou claro e aí não dá pra ver o texto da história. Simplesmente não dá pra jogar no Mac. Se quiserem jogar joguem no iPhone ou iPad. Acho errado dizer que tem compatibilidade com Mac sem ter. A situação que tá é zero condições de jogar no Mac. E eu bem que queria esse jogo em todo lugar comigo. Não abandonem esse jogo lindo, por favor. ### 5/5 — Ótimo pra relaxar *2026-01-03* Que jogo maravilhoso! Perfeito pra relaxar e acalmar a mente 😌 ### 5/5 — Skunk *2026-01-01, version 2.1* Wonderful ### 4/5 — Presque parfait *2025-12-26, version 2.0* Le jeu est génial sur Vision Pro, mais l’histoire n’est pas en français malgré la configuration ### 3/5 — Beautiful Puzzles *2025-12-17, version 2.1* Please add more puzzles! Love this app. I so much enjoyed the Van Gogh and Van Gogh Contemporaries collections. Would be amazing if perhaps Degas or Chagall could be featured next. Update. It’s been almost a year since any new puzzle collections have been added. ### 4/5 — Good game, one issue *2025-12-05, version 2.1* Love the game, love how customizable it is. I changed my settings to make it as close to just playing a regular puzzle as possible -- no text, no background image, no faded puzzle pieces. I just wish there was an option for a dark mode for the puzzle building area rather than just for the unused pieces. I like to play at night to wind down before bed and the only options are either have the glaring light of a thousand suns in my eyes or turn my brightness down so low I can't see any of the pieces. Oh well. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Asked for help, no response. *2026-08-17, version 2.2* On August 7, 2026 I sent an email to Borderleap Support. I had completed 46 of the 48 puzzles in this collection. One being the locked puzzle at the end after all other puzzles are completed. BUT I could not open puzzle #4 “Landscape At Saint-Paul-Les_Durance”, must have been some type of Glitch? I have followed up 3 time since, no response. This was a difficulty task and I would like credit. Beware if you need help. ### 1/5 — Impossibly hard *2026-08-04, version 2.2* The pictures are all greyscale with the middle completely blurred out, and as soon as you place a puzzle piece it disappears. As a result, you never have any frame of reference. Way too frustrating for me. ### 1/5 — Love it *2026-04-19, version 2.2* I love playing this at night as it’s totally relaxing. I love the music and it really helps me get to sleep. Tonight though the music is stuck on one track constantly repeating. And it’s very annoying! Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated ### 1/5 — Review *2026-01-12, version 2.1* Would be nice to be able to see entire picture before starting a puzzle or be able to refer back to the full picture. ### 1/5 — crashes after loading *2025-11-12, version 2.1* MBP M1 Max 64GB crashes during loading screen. even after rebooting and reinstalling. l ### 1/5 — Выкидывает из игры *2025-09-16* Открываю игру и после загрузки - приложение вылетает(((( Простьба решить эту проблему! Спасибо! ### 1/5 — Puzzles No longer download *2025-06-21, version 2.1* Are used to love this game it was very tranquil and relaxing, but for some reason the presence of stopped downloading so no longer able to play the game. My device and OS are supportive and have tried deleting and re-download nothing seems to work, it’s such a shame. ### 1/5 — Hate that I can no longer choose my puzzle! *2025-05-23, version 2.1* I really liked this puzzle game when I could choose which puzzle I wanted to do. Now it chooses for you. Bummer! I will not play it as much and may stop all together. PLEASE CHANGE IT BACK!!!! ### 1/5 — NOT FOR ME *2025-03-31, version 2.1* Not challenging, pieces very big. Maybe I didn’t get the picture part , but would rather a mystery puzzle. ### 1/5 — ピースが動かせない *2025-03-20* 動かしたいピースを30回以上タップして、やっと動いたと思うとタイミングが合わず間違えた場所に動いてしまう。 チュートリアルしかやってないのに、この不具合でストレスにしかならない。 ゲームそのものは良いのに、とても残念。 改善してくれるまではやらないと思う。 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — App Überraschung! *2026-05-30* Ich hatte nicht allzu viel von einer Puzzle App erwartet. Doch die wunderschöne Grafik sowie die stimmige Musik haben mich Ruckzuck die Zeit vergessen lassen und voll und ganz ins Puzzle eintauchen lassen. Als nach einem beendeten Puzzle die App gefragt hat, ob ich eine Bewertung hinterlassen möchte war ich von dem angenehmen und vor allem entspannenden Spielerlebnis so relaxed, dass ich anstatt wie sonst üblich bei solchen App Bewertungsanfragen NICHT genervt die App geschlossen habe sondern gerne eine Bewertung hinterlassen habe. ### 5/5 — Stunning, relaxing, and meditative *2026-05-28, version 2.2* I played this a while ago and downloaded it again because I missed it so much. It is so soothing and gorgeous, with talented artists from around the world. The music is very meditative. Beyond that, the words on each puzzle are beautiful. The game plays flawlessly. I’m very grateful to the developers for this app. If you want to regulate your nervous system or are dealing with any dysregulation challenges, this is a brilliant app for that as well. ### 5/5 — Loved it, but ... *2026-05-26* Ever since two new galleries were added last month, "achievement status" doesn't update. The fun of completing the puzzle is still there, the pictures are great, but I miss the sense of progressing toward a grand ending. ### 5/5 — Calm *2026-05-19, version 2.2* This game helped me find peace in the struggles of life. and each painting has a story just chefs kiss. ### 5/5 — So close to perfect *2026-05-05, version 2.2* While I still love the puzzles themselves, I’m sad that most of the music I enjoyed listening to is gone. Still like that one song, but it’s kind of monotonous. ### 5/5 — 良いゲームなのだが。 *2026-04-25* 実績が反映されないことがとても多い。 ･一つのギャラリーを全部クリア×複数 ･120日連続プレイ など達成済なのだが。 だいたいが達成率の諸数値が合っていない。 計算の問題か同期の問題かはわからないが。 ゲーム自体はまぁ、ジグソーパズルなので。そのまま。 絵は綺麗。水と夜空と木と名画が多い。曲は似た曲が多く差がわからないものの邪魔では無い。 オプション設定がやたら充実している。 イラストや絵画、あるいはジグソーパズルが嫌いでないならお試しあれ。 Appleアーケード専用みたいだし。 ### 5/5 — Can’t reach the developer *2026-04-22, version 2.2* I love this game but had a question for the developers and this seems to be the only way to reach them? I appreciate the new galleries featuring famous artists, but will there be more galleries offered by modern artists? I particularly love the undiscovered artists! ### 5/5 — Пазлы *2026-03-24* Очень увлекательная игра, приятная музыка ### 5/5 — Amazing game! *2026-03-14, version 2.1* This game is very relaxing.it also helps me calm down. ### 5/5 — I love this game *2026-03-03, version 2.1* As a young age I personally love this game the puzzles are super fun some are hard I have only finished 3 but I love it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
