Magic Jigsaw Puzzles - Game HD Wiki

Previous review had 4 stars: I truly have enjoyed doing puzzles, I have done well over 1000. Allowing user to choose which side to place the Column is a nice improvement. I don't use the extra mystery puzzles you give us each month. I am not asking friends. I dislike that addition. It seems it's crashing a bit more. That's the missing star. Current review. I got so tired of having to watch a video for the puzzles I downloaded. Way back, 4 years ago, I paid I believe $15 to be able to download all the puzzles that other users had uploaded. Also to use my own photos. Over time, the available downloads became boring (mostly flowers and animals) and much less of them! It was also asking me to watch a video to do my own puzzles. Finally, I decided what the heck I will pay $99 for one year not to have to watch another stupid video. Well, I’m still getting having to watch a video for the extra puzzles each month (the ones which are free to download for the month). Why in anyone’s universe would you charge $99 as a VIP yet still interrupt my playing with “choices” to watch a video or HAVING to watch a video for the extra monthly mystery puzzles?????!!! I am VERY DISAPPOINTED AND DISSATISFIED user. Can’t believe I paid $99. Let me do puzzles and NO VIDEOS.

I’ve had this puzzle software for about a year, and I absolutely love it. There are tons of puzzles, and if you buy a pack you’ll never run out of good puzzles. The game is easy for beginners because you can select the size and number of pieces, and you can select whether the pieces are oriented as they will be place, or you can select an option to rotate them yourself by tapping on the piece. You have to move the puzzle piece to the board in order to rotate them, and yes, it would be nice if you could rotate them in the column of pieces, but that’s a minor issue. This game is also excellent for advanced players because you can set the number of pieces to up to 500. This number will give you a good challenge. I typically play with the setting where I have to rotate the pieces and I play with the max number of pieces and it’s very challenging. It’s equivalent to a 1000 piece puzzle out of a box in difficulty. Some puzzles are pretty easy because there are lots of colors, and some puzzles are difficult because the have a relatively consistent background. In that case you have to rely on the shape when looking for pieces. This is one of my favorite apps on my iPad.

I love this game! It offers an excellent interface for all your jigsaw puzzle needs. The packs are reasonably priced (perhaps could be a bit cheaper), and you have access to photo puzzles from pictures submitted by people around the world. I would be giving this game 5 Stars, but a couple weeks ago they launched an update that got rid of the daily bonus game. Now you must watch a video to receive a bonus, and they took away my favorite bonus, the boosters. You can use boosters to give you different kinds of hints for your game. Now you can no longer win a booster, even after watching a video ad. Bring back the old daily bonus and I will make sure a 5 star rating is edited back into my review, but without it this game is simply another nickel and dime advertising farce and worth only 2 Stars. EDIT: Upon reading reviews that criticize this very same issue I notice that the developer does not address the issue at all, instead every comment gets the same reply, thanking us for our review and expressing gratitude we play the game. I don’t expect a personal reply, but it would be nice to get a form letter at least tailored to my concerns.

I have had this game for a long, long time. Now what did you do to it? I put in a few pieces, an add comes up and I can’t get out of it. What is the meaning of the stripes on some of the background colors and why do they always turn to black. You all had such a great game and now I can’t play it unless I keep closing down my computer and bringing it back up. Please help me I want to go back to my 5 star game. DEAR MAJIC PUZZLE, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I AM BACK TO THE GREAT PUZZLES YOU HAD BEFORE. NOW YOU’VE GOT 5 STARS AGAIN!!!! I’m back to 1 star and you really don’t deserve that. I can’t even see the puzzle. What the heck are you guys doing? Everything was good before you all started messing with it. Please go back to the original. 2/18. I haven’t been playing this much anymore because I can’t choose which puzzle I want to play and I can’t bring up any of the daily puzzles. My screen just goes white now. The only way I can get a puzzle is to choose from the list that comes down. Then I have no choice of picture or size. I have to take what I get. It’s really a shame. I enjoyed Magic Jigsaw Puzzles so much before all the upgrades.

I recommend this app. I play a few nights a week. I enjoy games and this one is enjoyable. I like jigsaw puzzles in real life. I get a a small thrill finishing a puzzle. They have some really great puzzle pictures and some I would find painfully slow to attempt (not enough colors or shapes) but that is a puzzlers puzzle preference so I can say that there is a preference. It is a little hard to see the biggest puzzle of 550 pieces out on the board but on the side bar it magnifies it and also you can blow up the puzzle so you can see the pieces in that section better. I mostly play for free but I have bought a few puzzle packs only cause I liked those set of puzzles but you earn coins for solving so I’ve been able to get packs using the coins I earned so I think it would be really easy to play for free if that’s a consideration. The packs I have bought were real cheap like $3 or $5 for like 30 or more puzzles so it definitely seemed worth it. Happy gaming! I play on an iPad mini and I’ve had no issues with game play. I have been playing on this app for multiple years.

I have been playing this for years and have spent REAL MONEY on some of these puzzle and now I can’t download unless I pay your subscription fee! That’s a rip off! Change it back the way it was. I got a new phone and now I cannot download any of my puzzles like I use to be. I don’t have unlimited data and so now I can’t play unless I’m in wifi. Disrespectful and greedy decision towards your faithful players. Allow downloads back for the packs that were purchased and rightfully MINE. UPDATED: developer responded almost immediately after review. Thank you! For that alone, I give 5 stars! I am definitely one to jump at things when I do not like the change. If you open the puzzle in wifi you can then play offline. I have not tried this, but if it works like that, then I’m back to the app being great again! The puzzles are gorgeous! Just start a few puzzles so you have them for the trips when you won’t have wifi. Still wish I could download them like I use to and not have to be VIP but change is change and you go with it.

Recently I have been very disappointed with the quality of this app! Trying to get to my recent puzzle is a trial os waiting! I understand the need for ads,but they are interrupting the puzzle! Then they take a long pause before they disappear ! Then they tend to freeze or boot me out all together from the app which starts the whole process again! I have loved this app in the past and hope that it will improve ,,,,,sooooon! Now ,2years later, my rating holds true! I must open this app from 2times up to 6 times before it holds and I can play! Then, the commercials close the app without me doing anything! Very time consuming and tiresome! I do love the puzzles, and the missions! I feel the volume of players must be contributing to the wait times,and perhaps more servers are essential! After being frustrated with freezing and being booted out,up to 4-6 times each puzzle,the app support suggested I reboot the app and open it again! WOW! I am again very pleased with Magic Jig Saw Puzzle! It works quickly and easily! Thank you app support team! So very happy!

I have enjoyed this puzzle for a long time. Lately it has been freezing up and usually right when I’m doing really well. When it goes to the video ad it stays there with no X to get out. This has happened once in awhile at first and I delete and reload the app. I’m able to restore a lot of my puzzles. Now this is happening almost after every completed puzzle. Is there some sort of clue on how to stop this from happening? Is it because I am saving too many puzzle packages after they are completed? Sometimes I like to go back to some of the old puzzles and redo it in a different difficulty level. It’s very relaxing to do these puzzles but this is like throwing a wrench in the works. Another thing I thought was maybe because I’m not purchasing anything. When I do puzzles I like to save up points in order to get more puzzles. Maybe this isn’t an ok thing to do. Hopefully that’s not the case. If it is the case, I would like to know as it’s very frustrating when it just freezes up and ends my games right in the middle of them.

I have one complaint about the actual gameplay itself, that is just that you can’t zoom in. I have an iphone 7 regular not a plus, and my eyes aren’t great so it takes a lot of straining to see the muted background. I would really love to zoom in and out at will. I’d like to have the option of maybe 2 or 3 different zooms (I can’t think of how else to say that.) if I’m playing a 630 piece puzzle as I do it would be nice to zoom in once or twice, then zoom out and choose the section I want to work on instead of having it chosen for me. That would make this game soo much better. The other thing not dealing with actual game play is how little coins you get for the puzzles and how much new packs cost. I would expect 32 coins for the small puzzles and something closer to $100 for a 630 piece puzzle that takes hours. The experience points are minimal as well. That said it’s still the best puzzle game and I enjoy it a lot. Update as you can see the developer response. That’s nice that ipad users can zoom puzzles other than 630 pieces, but I use my iphone and always play 630 puzzles. There is no zoom available on the iphone. I can’t choose which portion of the puzzle I want to work on either. I would play on an ipad if I had one.

I love the puzzles!!!!! I love the graphics!!!!! I love the colors!!!!! I love the themes!!!!!! I love everything EXCEPT..... I’ll be nice and relaxed and things are going great ... then it never fails!!!!!! It freezes up!!!!!!! For either a few seconds later or a few minutes later it unfreezes.... So I’m getting relaxed again and BOOM it freezes again!!!!! I’ve tried everything to prevent it.... go slower, hum along with the music..... all my other games, etc are closed out so this program is the only one on my desktop...... I’m even holding my tongue/mouth a certain way.... I have closed it out, waited and try again.... then, ok I get out of the program and even turn my phone off for a few minutes, sometimes longer and then try again and open up the puzzle I was working or sometimes I’ll try a different puzzles.... Guess What?? NOTHING I have tried has prevented it!!!! I have done a lot of puzzles and almost all are 630 pieces.... I have purchased puzzles and used my coins to get puzzles..... Is there anything you can do about this????? I work them to relax, not get aggravated..... is there anything I can do????? I don’t want to stop, but it’s not worth the aggravation every single time I play!!!!!!! Please advise me.............

I love this app. (Well, almost. Read on.) The ability to customize-- number of pieces and rotation option-- makes for just the right level of challenge for what ever mood I'm in. And working without a picture guide makes it that much more challenging. I mostly stick with the daily puzzles, but there are lots of other picture and subjects to suit any taste. And levels to conquer with sharable results for those who like a little competition. BUT... I play for the puzzles. I do not want “challenges” or “missions.” They have nothing to do with what I enjoy about a jigsaw puzzle. And what is the point of earning coins if they buy nothing? When I started using this app, I could use in-game coins to buy more puzzle packs or purchase premium backgrounds. But the backgrounds I purchased are no longer available unless I subscribe. And premium puzzle packs are only available with legal tender. Today I cannot even opt out of the paid premium game offer. Every time I touch a piece, the subscription offer comes up. And there is no “no thanks” button. I close the offer splash screen, move a piece, and repeat. Why pretend anything here is free if we can’t even get to the puzzle without subscribing?

Nothing appears to have changed since my last review. The advertising gimmicks are still disruptive and frequently fail to pay off after watching the advertisement (and the longer the ad, the more likely no payoff). I paid quite some time ago to remove ads and they have come back in a very disruptive way. The puzzles are nice and the play is well done. The barrage of offers before and after puzzle play is tiresome, especially given how often the “watch this and get a reward failed. Dropping the rating because even more often watching a video grants no reward afterwards. The promotions seem erratic, prompting to watch a video that may or may not play and then failing to deliver anything after watching the video. I would prefer it if there were fewer adds and special offers popping up constantly (I paid to get it add free some time ago). There are relatively few puzzles of people, which I enjoy and there used to be more. The variety of puzzle pieces seem pretty limited — at a given resolution, it seems to be new images mapped onto the same base puzzle design — it may be flipped or mirrored, but the puzzle pieces appear to be the same every time.

This app has a few nice features such as multiple music selections to choose from. Also, like being able to scatter pieces & even select to show puzzle edges only if you prefer to work your frame first. I like that I can put a piece back in side pocket if I need to get it out of the way. Fairly nice app & I know if something is free that you can’t be very picky but I just wish that they would offer more holiday puzzles free during the holiday months & slightly nicer free puzzle pictures. It would be even nicer if we could see pictures in the free monthly puzzle pack so we could choose which ones we wanted to spend our time working. Please fix gifting as everyone is right the ads/gifts are not working at all right now. They haven’t in quit a while. Update Nov. 12, 2019 In response to developers reply about ads; it seems they are unwilling to admit there is a problem with the ads. They rarely ever worked. I finally deleted app due to ad problem. When all your reviewers are telling you the ads are not working you should listen because that means they are not working at all; or so rarely that most of the users never saw them work.

I love this puzzle game but since the last "upgrade" to supposedly fix some "glitches" it has been a nightmare. It has always had some issues with freezing up now and then but it is now ridiculous. I usually have to restart it an average of five or six times in the course of doing two puzzles. Shame on the developers for releasing this dog of an "upgrade." Hopefully they will fix it soon. If it weren't for the excessive freezing I would have rated it much higher. Over two months later and several updates not much has changed. The app doesn't freeze up as much but in order to transition from a completed puzzle to a new puzzle you pretty much have to close the app and then reopen it. Also doesn't always open on the first try and you have to try again. I am not going to uninstall and reinstall as I have no confidence that I will get back any of the puzzle packs I paid for and I am not going to put myself in the position of having to fight with them over it. Other reviews have indicated that this has happened. As far as I am concerned, it is the developer's responsibility to ensure the game functions properly. It is not up to me to jump through hoops in hopes of getting it to work right. Prior to the July debacle this game was great and ran smoothly. I am still holding out hope that they can fix this and once again have a great app.
