The rainbow puzzle is so much more fun, whereas, blue star lacks creati *2026-05-24, version 1.31* You shouldn’t have to wait 24 hours to do another new game ### 3/5 — Free but not ad free *2026-05-08, version 1.31* I am disappointed because I thought this app was supposed to be ad free. I do like that I can use my own pictures if I want to. ### 3/5 — Secret puzzles are too similar *2025-11-08, version 1.24* I really enjoy the puzzles, especially the secret puzzle (which I do daily) but the subjects are just so similar and it’s becoming quite tedious. The puzzles are usually either sky, mountains and something in the foreground, various animals/birds, flowers, or buildings. They’re usually beautiful but it’s just too samey! ### 5/5 — Great *2025-10-14, version 1.22* These are the best jigsaw puzzles the format is wonderful but I have a problem there are tremendous number of glitches makes it hard to work the puzzles I have asked support for help but they saay nothing is wrong ### 5/5 — Great jigsaws *2025-10-12, version 1.22* Always a great variety, always ones coming out,really pleased with this site ,carry on the great work ### 5/5 — I enjoy this app *2025-10-02, version 1.22* It's free so there are ads but only moderately annoying ones. Most fun is that you can use your own photos as puzzles if you want. ### 5/5 — Calming *2025-09-13, version 1.21* Love them so interesting and absolutely free ### 5/5 — Great *2025-08-29, version 1.21* I really think these are great jigsaws ### 5/5 — This is my favorite of all puzzles. I *2025-08-14, version 1.21* The way you scatter the pieces on the outside of the puzzle to be put together and you get to look for them and see them all at once. Is much more fun than the line on the bottom. Thank you so much. ### 5/5 — Beautiful puzzles *2025-07-28, version 1.21* These puzzles are relaxing and easy to do. There are many to choose from, and many categories to choose from. I enjoy doing them daily. ### 5/5 — Regular User *2025-07-10, version 1.21* I find nothing more stimulating than completing a jigsaw and moving on to another more difficult puzzle, albeit that they don’t necessarily prove to be so. The variety of jigsaws on this website provide both variety and difficulty and constantly challenge the user. Long may you continue to challenge the user. ### 5/5 — Confused *2025-07-06, version 1.21* When I started working the puzzles it was fun but lately there’s been a lot of bugs like when I am done completing the puzzle and closed my tablet the sound for the pieces that’s been placed is still playing for each piece. I’m either getting a sound or not getting the sound when placing the pieces in the right place or the puzzle pieces turn upside down and won’t turn right side up, very frustrating ### 5/5 — Obsessed *2025-06-29, version 1.21* I’ve always loved jigsaws since childhood! To be able to do these on my iPad is very therapeutic and relaxing. I love the fact there are so many to chose from, so many levels and pieces - keep up the good work!👍 ### 3/5 — Animals in cages *2025-06-19, version 1.21* I don’t like animals in zoos and or cages I’m sure you can photos of animals running free You keep repeating the same ones. You need different ones, not the same one repeated within one week ### 5/5 — Merci! *2025-06-11, version 1.21* J’apprécie énormément les jeux Boy Howdy. Ils sont plaisants et je m’amuse beaucoup. Ils sont diversifiés et permettent à un plus grand nombre de personnes de se divertir. Aujourd’hui, avoir la possibilité d’avoir des jeux gratuits est quasiment impossible. Merci pour votre générosité. Un petit bémol les cartes ne sont pas distribuées aléatoirement, pourquoi? ### 5/5 — Love the Details *2025-06-04, version 1.21* As an older puzzler, I appreciate the clarity of each puzzle I put together. Thank you for photographic images. ### 5/5 — Puzzle *2025-06-01, version 1.21* I love these puzzles. Not too hard but I have to do them all. And I’m 90! ### 4/5 — Wonderful *2025-05-24, version 1.21* I enjoy playing this game every night before I go to bed. ### 5/5 — Meds free Jigsaw Puzzles *2025-05-22, version 1.21* I’ve been doing puzzles for almost a year+! No experience other than young children’s puzzles as a child! I can do it! It’s fun! Especially the mystery ones! Sometimes due to age and eyesight issues they can be challenging! If it’s more than I can handle I pass to my husband! But 90 to 95% I do and it’s amazing for someone with little confident experience can do it!!!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Oh well… *2024-07-31, version 1.19* Deleted after first use. Clumsy piece combination. Too exact ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2022-04-18, version 1.9* It doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Bad bad bad bad bad *2022-01-26* I’ve had this game for not even an hour and instantly it not only froze my phone, but I couldn’t even exit out of the app or hard wire shut down my phone (you know? Push all the buttons to turn the phone off completely). For 15 minutes I had to wait till my phone finally decided to work again. Sure the game was fun, and the puzzles were pretty, but if you wanna get your phone “hacked” go right ahead. Knock yourself out. And the app itself was really sketchy and low quality. So, yeah. That’s my review. Do. Not. Download!! ### 2/5 — Lost System *2025-11-07, version 1.24* Need Help I had a wonderful system system of your puzzles for free that did NOT have any locked items nor did I have to buy any thing I could play at my own pace and I got lots of points I was trying to remove an app nex to your app icon hit your app icon instead now I can’t find same program I used for the past several years How do I get back there? Please help ### 2/5 — Lock it *2023-04-10, version 1.13* I get frustrated because I’m elderly and there are times I wish I could make the picture larger and then lock it in place. I hate it when it moves around so much. ### 2/5 — Too limited *2022-12-11, version 1.9* I dislike that these puzzles do not have a timer, do not show a complete picture without lines on completion, nor do they have a record of puzzles completed. These are the factors which make me stay with a particular app. ### 2/5 — Disappointing *2022-09-16, version 1.9* I first downloaded this a few years ago and there were lots of interesting pictures, now there are very few. ### 2/5 — Can’t Use Your Own Photos *2022-09-12, version 1.9* I downloaded this puzzle game because it said you could use your own photos to make puzzles. Cool, right? Not so much. Most of the time, it won’t allow you to make a puzzle from a photo. I thought maybe it had to do with copyright stuff. But, it wouldn’t allow it on most of the photos I took myself of the family. Deleted! ### 2/5 — Not very responsive. *2022-04-23, version 1.9* I tried this app before leaving my review and would have given 5 stars with my first puzzle. My disappointment came after about 4 puzzles when the app became very unresponsive and it was very frustrating when the pieces would not move until I tried several times. This problem is in my opinion very frustrating and makes using the app almost unusable. I am now going to delete it. ### 2/5 — Good pictures, limited choices for adjustment *2022-03-15, version 1.9* I like the pictures on this app. There are no annoying ad interruptions unless you poke the wrong place. My problem is that it is hard to tell how tiny the pieces will be, and once you have chosen the number of pieces for a puzzle there is no going back and adjusting it so you can see them comfortably on your device. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love These Puzzles! *2026-08-26, version 1.34* I wanted a jigsaw puzzle game that had a lot to choose from & were beautiful too! This covers both! ### 5/5 — Best Jigsaw Puzzle app. EVER *2026-08-01, version 1.34* Barely any ads. Great selection of photos. Instructions are so wholesome. It’s like a sweet grandpa made this game. ### 5/5 — Jigsaw puzzles *2026-07-26, version 1.34* Love all theses puzzles. ### 5/5 — Meds free Jigsaw Puzzles *2026-07-17, version 1.34* Nice to have a scenery puzzles! All close shades or same thing, or diameters puzzles are a challenge for those of us with sight issues! But a great challenge for hand and eye coordination! ### 5/5 — Vibrating your neurons *2026-07-14, version 1.34* I have been occupied with BOY HOWDY Jigsaw for years now, Just love method of delivery, rotation, colour selections all excite my neuron’s each morning, Thankyou Thankyou. ### 5/5 — Thank You! *2026-06-27, version 1.34* Needed for therapy! ### 5/5 — Catlover *2026-05-21, version 1.31* Wonderful. Seniors will love this game. I am a senior and I do. Play daily. ### 5/5 — Relaxing and fun *2026-05-11, version 1.31* Love this app! The variety of puzzles to choose from is good and hopefully more will be added. It’s a great way to relax and hone your visual perception skills and more! Highly recommended ### 5/5 — Great jigsaw app *2025-11-06, version 1.24* I have used this app for a long time .It is easy to use and has lots of of jigsaws that can be used by small children up to adults by choosing the amount of pieces you wish to use. There are many categories to pick from even ones that you don’t have a picture guide ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-10-19, version 1.22* I really love this puzzle app. I was using another puzzle app — actually I used it for a few years. I thought it was great. But they changed it all of a sudden. They put in “events” and challenges and ads every five minutes which caused me to stop playing until the ad was finished. And I actually paid to have no ads. Well, needless to say, I started looking for another puzzle app, and I found this one. And I am so glad I did. With this one, you just play puzzles. I think it is really a great app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
