Buy I have noticed one issue that has yet to be fixed, there are duplicate patterns showing up. One day they won’t be there, then the next day they’ll be there in my downloaded section. ### 4/5 — Buggy but fun *2026-08-29, version 8.1* I really enjoy playing this game. It is relaxing and helps me unwind before bed or when I am feeling stressed. I’ve been playing for years. Unfortunately, there are several instances when the puzzles will crash or close out and I can’t complete a section. Right now, I’m having particular difficulty getting any of the Morning 12am-12pm puzzles to open so I can play them. I really like that I could go back and play a puzzle anytime, but with these it won’t let me. I know BoarderLeap goes in and fixes bugs all the time to improve gameplay, so I’m sure eventually an update will get pushed out (like they have for buggy parts before), but that’s why it’s 4 stars not 5. It’s a little frustrating to want to play some of the puzzles when you can’t even open them. ### 4/5 — Great *2026-08-11, version 8.1* It’s so good you just pick one and then do the puzzle and then you can download it and turn it into wallpaper and there are no adds ### 3/5 — A lot of glitches *2026-07-26, version 8.1* Nice game, but has a lot of bugs for me. The programme gets stuck a lot, and you end up staring at a black screen when loading a new puzzle. ### 2/5 — パーツが足りない *2026-07-07* せっかくいい調子でやってたのに、レイアウトが変更になってやりにくい。 パーツが足りなくて完結出来ないパターンがたまにあります。 連絡する術が無くてそのまま放置するしかない。 ### 4/5 — Wonderful and relaxing, but I’m worried that puzzle quality is slipping. *2026-06-29, version 8.0* Love the updated menus. Things generally feel much more reliable, which is great. However, I’m noticing that more and more of the puzzles aren’t wrapping around. I worry that this is a sign of cutting corners with cheaper art. ### 3/5 — Latest Update *2026-06-26, version 8.0* Absolutely hate the new update. The layout is not inviting. It was better when you could see the thumbnails. ### 4/5 — Love this app however…. *2026-06-21, version 8.0* I have played this for years, love it. But, it is now almost impossible to enjoy. Don’t know if it is my iPad or the app. I open a picture and the pieces will not move or be able to placed. Don’t know why, I deleted the app and reloaded it but still isn’t working. I hope that you can fix this😢 ### 4/5 — New Update *2026-06-15, version 8.0* I love this puzzle game and play everyday and one of the best things about it was there were harder puzzles to play and easier ones so there was something for everyone. The last update though I noticed that there were not as many hard puzzles to choose from; very disappointing. This latest update is very disappointing as well. We are locked into boxes of your choices of puzzles, many of which we as players have already played. I much preferred the more open concept of choosing which puzzles I would prefer to play, not puzzles you choose for me. Also bring back the more challenging puzzles please. Thank you for reading. ### 2/5 — I love it but *2026-06-15, version 8.0* the game was amazing and I played a lot but now with the new updates doesn’t work I can’t open any puzzle and it keeps on loading .. pls fix it or tell me how I can make it work again ### 4/5 — Like it *2026-06-14, version 8.0* But the new home page update stinks. Why change if it’s not broken? ### 4/5 — about loading *2026-05-14, version 7.3.2* loading is too slow ### 2/5 — Was really hoping to like this but… *2026-05-09, version 7.3.2* So I downloaded it and started playing and then I noticed that there were no way to lower the toolbar so I could see the entire puzzle. Deleted after that. ### 4/5 — Puzzles not loading *2026-04-23, version 7.3.2* Puzzles not loading. ### 3/5 — Very slow to load *2026-04-21, version 7.3.1* Really slow to load for the past week or so. ### 2/5 — Slow to load *2026-04-21, version 7.3.1* The game is beautiful but it takes so long to load one puzzle. Also, the UI is difficult to navigate. Overall, needs significant improvements. ### 3/5 — グラフィックは良いのですが *2026-04-19* 動作が遅いのと、日替わりを一週間分プレイしても星がしばしばつかないので特典がプレイできません ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2026-04-14, version 7.3.1* I pay monthly for this game and it hasn’t worked right for over a week. I contacted support, they got back to me but no follow up and still no update to fix. I love this game and I’m disappointed with the support!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Nice game but can’t figure out how it works *2026-08-28, version 8.1* Wish the tutorial was better. It is frustrating ### 1/5 — Takes longer to load than play *2026-06-23, version 8.0* Don't what happened to this app since the last time i had a subscription but it takes forever to load now. Literally 5x longer than it takes to do a puzzle. Unplayable like this. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2026-06-20, version 8.0* This was a beautiful, seamlessly peaceful game that I really began to enjoy right up until the 8.0 update. Now it will no longer open and I have not had access to it since that update. A very big disappointment and days wasted in a two month free Apple Arcade trial. ### 1/5 — Slow don’t bother *2026-05-30, version 7.3.2* App is ridiculously slow, images don’t open. ### 1/5 — Glitchy *2026-05-16, version 7.3.2* App seems to freeze up and releases pieces at random. The pattern is frustrating to locate with such a faded background. I enjoy puzzles but this is not fun at all. ### 1/5 — Pathetic *2026-04-24, version 7.3.2* Utterly slow with everything you in this app. From launching, navigating and loading contents in general not very efficient at all. Even using flagship devices, this app is STILL SLOW!!! ### 1/5 — Nothing *2026-04-11, version 2.2* Nothing ### 1/5 — Broke it *2026-03-28, version 7.3* The latest update broke the game. Many puzzles load forever, locking the game, and choosing some puzzles show one that I already completed but the pieces keep changing? Putting this one down until the next update at least. ### 1/5 — So sad *2026-03-27, version 7.3* I love this app. It’s my favorite way to use my phone. I’m so sad that it doesn’t work and that this is the only way I can find to reach out. Please fix this app. ### 1/5 — Was good until it wasn’t *2026-03-26, version 7.3* When I first downloaded this game a couple weeks ago it was great, no issues. Now over the last week or so the puzzles won’t load or load with another puzzle over top of it. It is basically unplayable now. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this app however…. *2026-08-11, version 8.1* I have played this for years, love it. But, it is now almost impossible to enjoy. Don’t know if it is my iPad or the app. I open a picture and the pieces will not move or be able to placed. Don’t know why, I deleted the app and reloaded it but still isn’t working. I hope that you can fix this😢 Update: My problem was solved !!!! I absolutely love this application. It is so relaxing and the pictures are wonderful. ### 5/5 — Love the Daily Puzzles *2026-08-01, version 8.1* I enjoy doing the daily puzzles. However, I have fallen a couple of days behind and I am not able to load the previous days, even though they still show as available. Is there a fix for this issue? ### 5/5 — I love this game! *2026-06-29, version 8.0* This game is really nice. After a stressful day of work it’s nice to sit down and do an easy puzzle. I also love the music and designs! I love all the options and the calmness of this game! Do recommend. ### 5/5 — Bit of an issue *2026-06-25, version 8.0* The perfect puzzle game to relax, challenge and feel a sense of achievement. (I have tried 8 times to load, it goes into the main screen and snaps shuts down. Any way I can reconnect? I have it in the Arcade games.) Keep doing what you so love doing and thank you for it x PS I’ve got in 😊. I bought a new iPad. Wonderful to be able to play again. Can you add messages when the version is no longer supported? ### 5/5 — Bit of an issue *2026-06-23, version 8.0* The perfect puzzle game to relax, challenge and feel a sense of achievement. (I have tried 8 times to load, it goes into the main screen and snaps shuts down. Any way I can reconnect? I have it in the Arcade games.) Keep doing what you so love doing and thank you for it x ### 5/5 — 癒される *2026-04-30* キレイな柄が多く、選べるパズルも最初から多く楽しめるし単純作業で病んでる時に癒されます。 ### 5/5 — My review *2026-04-09, version 7.3.1* I think this game is calm and pretty stresfull at the same time. It's probably made for people not like me(that don't really play image puzzles) but it's still a fascinating game. The images are incredibly acurate and full of objects and stuff,and the overall ideea of this app is to make people have a calm afternoon or just a silent time putting puzzle pieces togheter to form something.(that's what I think is the overall ideea) ### 5/5 — Simply great *2026-04-09, version 7.3.1* Well made simple elegant beautiful and calming I love to play it while listening to stuff ### 5/5 — Thanks for the quick fix *2026-03-29, version 7.3* 3/29 update. Back to full functionality. Thank you! Late March, ‘26 updated review: After the last fix, the puzzles were loading flawlessly. No more. Now only the daily puzzles load. That’s it. Over time this has been a great game, but now maybe they are trying to keep too many plates in the air at once, with the inevitable result. Disappointed. Again. For the last couple of weeks the puzzles do not load. I have deleted and reinstalled the app multiple times but still no luck. The app opens up and looks ready to select a puzzle, but does not respond. Same issue on both my phone and iPad. About ready to give up. EDITED AFTER DEVELOPER RESPONSE: Appreciate the developer’s response, but still prefer the pre-updated version. The current version claims to have “fixed” things that in my opinion weren’t broken. DO NOT LIKE NEWEST UPDATE. This game has been a 5-star since its introduction. But this week’s update seems like change for change’s sake. It does nothing to improve game play and in fact it makes it harder to manage progress. I’m sorry somebody decided to “fix” something that wasn’t broken. ### 5/5 — 不具合 *2026-03-27* iPhone 17 問題をタップすると白い画面に『読み込み中…』とだけ表示され動きません。まだ時間をおいていないのでこの画面から動くかわかりません。もし不具合であればご対応お願いします --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
