### 4/5 — Font size of timer

*2026-04-22, version 7.4.0*

This is a great app. The only thing that keeps me from giving it 5 stars is the fact that I can’t reduce the font size of the actual timer. Perhaps it’s something that I’m missing in the settings of my phone. Thanks for the great app.

### 4/5 — Polecam 🐻

*2025-05-11, version 6.2.2*

Świetna aplikacja, bardzo przydatna. 
Jedynie ikona jak z 2012.. 
Coś bardziej estetycznego i będzie 5!

### 5/5 — Just what I needed

*2025-02-02, version 5.2.0*

I have been using the app for several months now, and it is fantastic!  I really enjoy Charles Wysocki type puzzles, and bought a couple of duplicates simply because I couldn’t remember that I already owned them. Now while out shopping I can easily check before purchasing so no more duplicates. One suggestion I would have is a new field for “disposition” or something like that that would show what happens to completed puzzles (ex. Kept, Donated, Sold, Trashed, etc.). It would also be nice to have an indicator for puzzle material (ex. Cardboard, Wood, etc.).  Thank you for this app, I use it almost every day!

### 5/5 — Amazing. My favorite!

*2025-01-08, version 5.2.0*

I love this app. I have been using it since January 2021 and since then I can easily see we’ve done 493 puzzles! We are data nerds (as well as puzzle nerds) so we LOVE everything this app has to offer. Especially now that you can export the data! They are also very responsive to questions and feedback. I cannot speak highly enough about this app and the people behind it! LOVE!!

### 5/5 — Loved this!

*2024-12-30, version 5.2.0*

Excellent app to puzzle lovers! Helps you to track and improve your time completing puzzles

### 4/5 — Nice

*2024-12-07, version 5.2.0*

I like it so far but I wish it could just be ad supported instead of a paid app It would be nice to at least have an export feature if you get a new phone and need to move the file.

### 4/5 — Love this app!

*2024-11-29, version 5.2.0*

This app is fantastic. The only thing that would make it better is to be able to manually add the UPC numbers in the event that I don’t have the barcode handy for my wish list (if the item is online).

### 5/5 — Useful

*2024-11-18, version 5.2.0*

I wanted to have a way to track my puzzles. This app does this and keeps pictures of completed puzzles too!!!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2024-10-08, version 5.2.0*

I recently purchased this app, and it is just what I was looking for. I love the ability to track completed and pending puzzles. I now have a new sidequest at flea markets, thrift stores, and book stores to inventory puzzles completed previously that we’ve parted ways with. :D 

The Wheel of Fortune is my favorite feature so that a puzzle can be randomly chosen from the pending list. I would love the ability to also add tags as a parameter for Wheel of Fortune. For example, we have a pile of Winter themed puzzles that we are saving for the holidays and have tagged them as such.

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2024-08-04, version 5.2.0*

Awesome App & free. It does everything I want it to do to track my puzzles. As another user commented it would be awesome to track multiple completion times of the same puzzle as I tend to rotate them and it would be interesting to see if I can best my previous completion time. Keep up the good work, solid app and fair comment from the developer regards Barcode scanning subscription pricing.

### 1/5 — Way too much

*2026-01-19, version 7.3.1*

Way too much in puzzle details for a kind of free app and I’m not spending $50 per year or $100 to buy when there are other free apps. I can see having options when you pay for it.

### 1/5 — Scan not working

*2025-09-30, version 6.2.4*

Using both iPad and iPhone the scan did not work or gave incorrect data.

### 1/5 — Gut gedacht, schlecht gemacht

*2025-03-28, version 6.1.8*

Leider funktioniert die Übersicht gar nicht. Abgesehen von den letzten fünf Puzzle werden keine Bilder mehr angezeigt. Selbst, wenn man auf die einzelnen Puzzle draufklickt, passiert gar nichts. Sehr enttäuschend.

### 1/5 — What’s the point?

*2025-02-13, version 5.2.0*

Cannot even sign in to create an account. Pointless waste of time.

### 2/5 — Update is disappointing

*2026-06-28, version 7.6.0*

The latest update is very disappointing.  The timer has a terrible layout and the statistics are more difficult to read. All in all the new layout is a step down from the previous version.

### 2/5 — Glitchy

*2026-04-17, version 7.3.5*

There seems to be glitches when uploading photos. I cannot see my friend’s puzzles. Not easy to choose the main photo for the puzzle.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work properly

*2025-12-21, version 7.2.0*

It doesn’t let me scan it

### 2/5 — Viel Potenzial, aber die Premium-Version überzeugt noch nicht

*2024-10-26, version 5.2.0*

Ich habe mir die Pro-Version der App für 3€ (1 Monat) zum Testen gegönnt. Es gibt einige nette Funktionen, wie z. B. das Scannen des Barcodes vom Puzzle. Leider erkennt die App dabei oft nicht die richtige Marke, und die Puzzle-Nummer muss man manuell eintragen. Gelegentlich benennt die App das Puzzle auch in einer anderen Sprache, z. B. plötzlich auf Polnisch, was verwirrend sein kann.

Was ich wirklich vermisse, ist die Möglichkeit, sich mit anderen Nutzern zu verbinden, um deren Sammlungen anzuschauen und dadurch neue Puzzle zu entdecken.

Ansonsten kann man Bilder hochladen, die Zeit für ein Puzzle stoppen und ein paar weitere nette Gimmicks nutzen. Insgesamt ist es eine tolle App mit viel Potenzial, aber leider noch recht unausgereift. Die Premium-Version lohnt sich aktuell noch nicht wirklich.

### 2/5 — Expensive

*2024-09-24, version 5.2.0*

I Like this app but why is the premium version so expensive? Lifetime for more than 100€?!

### 3/5 — Good app with potential to be amazing

*2025-07-16, version 6.2.3*

Love tracking all my puzzles and having them at my fingertips. Wish the scan function used an open ai model that got more accurate info. About half the puzzles I scan I have to go back and fix. Sometimes when scanning the picture does not match the puzzle. Also wish the search function was more versatile. As it is currently if I type in “cupcake” it will only pull up puzzles that start with “cupcake” so if the scan feature labeled the puzzle with the artist name before the puzzle name in that field it will not pull up that puzzle.

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2026-08-04, version 7.7.0*

I love this app! I wish I had it when I first started puzzling. I have been using for 2 years and love it. I show all my friends!  I am going to get the paid version to use the scanner. Very helpful!

### 5/5 — Customer Service

*2026-07-10, version 7.6.0*

I am thrilled with this app!   I did experience some small glitches, but the developers responded right away to solve my problems.  I love being able to keep all my puzzles on hand while I am shopping for others.  No more duplicate puzzle purchases!

### 5/5 — Great app for puzzle stats

*2026-06-08, version 7.4.0*

This app is great . So much less cumbersome
Than maintaining a spreadsheet
You can record all the important stats and data . When the app goes on sale will buy the lifetime version but the fresh version has very good functionality

### 5/5 — Great way to keep track of jigsaw puzzle hobby/obession

*2026-04-14, version 7.3.5*

Easy to use with nice options to set your puzzle collection. The developer was responsive to my suggestion.

### 5/5 — Must have for puzzlers 🧩

*2026-03-25, version 7.3.5*

Love this app! Quick, easy, tracking, pics and so much more! Great to have so I don’t purchase duplicates

### 5/5 — Barcode Scanner..

*2026-02-18, version 7.3.5*

I love the app, but I cannot get the barcode scanner to work .. at all.  Other than that, I’m very happy with it.

### 5/5 — Keeps track

*2025-09-12, version 6.2.3*

I like that I can keep track of completed puzzles, then I can donate or sell the ones I have done.

### 5/5 — Puzzle fun

*2025-09-06, version 6.2.3*

Puzzle storage and memories. I enjoy the app as it is a good place to store my puzzles. I work away at loading them but I won’t lose them. My phone died at one point and I lost lots of photos including puzzles. I feel better about having them stored properly now and I can flip through and look back when I want to. I wish I could scan more than 20 bar codes a month. I input the data but scanning is easier.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2025-07-11, version 6.2.3*

Super appli et j’ai même pris la version prenium, je l’adore. Ce soir, j’ai vu un bug, certainement passager mais j’ai plein de photos qui ont disparus. Juste les photos, tout le reste est ok. J’attends de voir si cela se résout seul

### 5/5 — The best

*2025-05-27, version 6.2.3*

Constantly updating and taking advice from users. The best app. I use it daily
