Jigsaw Puzzle Pro Wiki

This app provides a lot of fun and is definitely my favorite. I grew up putting together jigsaw puzzles and continued to do them until very recently. Once I started with this app, I have pretty much stopped using the tabletop puzzles. It comes with several free packs of puzzles. There are many more packs on a variety of topics available for purchase. It’s also easy to accumulate points to earn packs if you don’t want to purchase any. You can choose the degree of difficulty by changing the number of pieces you select the picture to be divided into. The more pieces, the smaller they are and the more time it will take to put the puzzle together. I use 12x12. My husband uses at least twice as many pieces. My sister has vision difficulties and uses 8x8. Young kids use fewer pieces. Being able to use your own pictures as puzzles is a very nice feature. We all have pictures of our own that are great choices. The choice of background colors is helpful as you change puzzles. I find one recent change to be slightly annoying. The last update brings up an opening screen that you must click on to move to the first operational screen. And it would be great if a family could share puzzle packs. We have found that it’s a fun and addictive app for all ages.

The latest update causes all the loose pieces to scatter instead of just the pieces inside the puzzle. That is a nuisance to those of us who carefully sort pieces in the margins! Also, the puzzle doesn’t fit inside the frame and the pieces do not visually appear to be in place even when they click. Please go back to only scattering loose pieces inside the main puzzle frame and resolve the visual aspect of the frame and pieces!!! I have used and recommended this app for years! Plays like a table puzzle without all the hassles! Large variety of puzzles to choose from, however, the free puzzle of the day is always interesting and challenging. For variety in difficulty level choose the number of pieces you are comfortable with. Best of all Customer Support actually listens when there is a problem!

Update - took a while but update came through to fix the problem without having to reload the app. Back to five stars! I have had jigsaw pro for a long time and it worked fine until a couple weeks ago. So far no fix for the pro version for the daily puzzle and only solution they posted for version not pro is to load a new game which isn’t the same as the update. I buy enough new puzzles so I’m not just using this version for free. One star review until this gets fixed which I hope is update to existing app not a new app (I know I can restore but last time I did that it was puzzle place by puzzle pack and not convenient and time consuming). Will update review if see a fix that works.

I loved this game until the update. I play on my ipad. WhenI start up, it goes sideways, then landscape, then upside down, and finally backto landscape....every time. Now I cannot sort my inprogress and if I hit the default, it locks my ipad up and I have to close the game and start again. After completing the border, and hit scatter, the pieces go clear off into the black sides. I tried changing the table size in the settings but even a new puzzle has large distance between pieces and is the same size table. Help. I loved this game and have spent a lot on packs. Update: The scatter works ok now. The in progress sort still hangs and locks up. Otherwise, I still love this game and enjoy playing it.

I love the puzzles I have chosen. I like the colors...the puzzles that are bright and clear...especially the cottage scenes, the town scenes, the vivid colorful puzzles. I do the 64 piece generally. I don’t want to stress over hundreds of pieces so a quick puzzle that I can do while resting is good. I have ordered 12 puzzles I think. All the puzzles I love. I keep looking for new arrivals. I hope to see more cute Halloween and Christmas puzzles in the future...and beautiful winter scenes. Right now, I am working through the ones I have. I will stop and work on the holiday puzzles during the holiday months. This has given me something new to enjoy on my iPad. Reading, games, puzzles...I love my iPad so much.

The game is very nice, the action smooth. Some suggestions for future that would make this a 5-star game: 1. Make the puzzle piece shapes unique. While there are several different puzzle piece styles, such as a piece with 3 tabs on the top, bottom, and left, and a blank on the right, all pieces of that style are of “cookie-cutter” identical shape. This sometimes makes it a guessing game to fit pieces together, especially when working a section of solid color or very dense pattern, rather than relying on color and shape. It would be more realistic to construct pieces using the same styles, but making each piece of a given style vary from the others, like a physical puzzle. 2. Allow rectangular puzzles.

This was a nice puzzle app that has been made much less enjoyable by a constant increase in obnoxious spam ads. I already accepted that every puzzle pack is basically just a vague collection of copyright free images with maybe one or two good images per pack because I could always upload my own if I didn’t find anything new I liked. But now every puzzle is obnoxiously sandwiched between useless “games” of “chance” and pushy nagging to buy even more puzzle packs. They’re so determined to be obnoxious, in fact, that they make you wait to close out the ads by adding a delay before they fade in the close symbol to exit the ads. I have bought several packs up to now, but the more obnoxious and intrusive this gets, the less I want to give you another dime. Let us turn off these stupid spam games and pushy ads. Those who are going to use the app for free offerings aren’t going to suddenly spend more because you annoy them to death and you are alienating other people like me who are happy to toss a couple bucks for new images until your greedy nagging turns us off. I’m not buying another pack until you let us turn off the harassment you’ve implemented.

I agree with SalStrange review and the other review regarding poor choice for spending coins you accumulate with each completed puzzle. Too much spam, too many windows to get back to your puzzle screen, and the worst yet? Now there are these FORCED game type challenges that do not allow you to close it unless you play. I purchased ad-free and hav loved this game for years. I do buy alot of new puzzle packs; I play this game every day to decompress. So it really takes away the fun to be force fed spam in the game. Keep it in there for those who like that type of thing, but for the rest of us, give us a way to opt out of all of it in the PAID version and just let us enjoy the game. I started searching for a new game tonight, but I really hope the developers listen. I only have three games, this one, a card game, and a slide game I have had since 2010. I use them to decompress, and sometimes play room type games like the old Myst game. One final note, oddly, this game no longer shows up in my Apps list in settings, nor in App store under updates (I dread the updates because its always more SPAM, MORE SPAM, MORE SPAM. What a wonderful almost real jigsaw experience ruined because you can't turn off the developer spam.

Loved this until they added all that “ta dah” in the last update. Now when you complete a puzzle you have to wait on the “ta dah”, then click on the “ta dah” for finishing the puzzle, then wait for another “ta dah” for finishing the puzzle in that group, click out of the group, click on the puzzles in progress just to get back to where you expected to be in the first place. Not purchasing any more from this place. It took a long time to find a puzzle app that was well done. This was it until they added all the “ ta dah” crap. This app hangs now and looses its icons when there’s no internet connection. Customer support claim that it does not require internet to play but it does attempt to blast you with its sales adds and hangs the tablet when no connection. Eventually it clears itself but you have to wait for that huge sale add in your face. This pattern always follows after downloading free and or purchased puzzles. So you have to connect back to the internet to restore free and purchased icons and sometimes to start a puzzle. This is a problem only for those of us in poor internet access areas.

We love Jigsaw Puzzle Pro and play it daily. We are extremely unhappy with the most recent update, and want to request that this update be rolled back. We have the app on 2 devices: an iPad Air and an older iPad 2. Prior to this update, the app was working pretty well on both devices; initialization and response were slower on the iPad 2, but that is to be expected. The update has had a much worse effect on the iPad 2: after the update, we cannot use the app at all. It starts and is extremely slow in painting screens. The (IMO stupid and unnecessary) transition screen (tap to open) takes literally minutes to respond and may kick me out. But it always crashes and kicks me out when I try to play the daily puzzle. We shut down and restarted the device -- no change. Still crashes and is unusable. You've done a fair number of updates recently. We appreciate your responsiveness but it seems that your regression testing is inadequate. If an update is unsuited to an older device, you need to make that crystal clear. We're disappointed and dissatisfied. Please address these issues as soon as possible.

I have a total of 147,226 credits to use for purchasing puzzles! I purchased my credits in order to purchase my choice of puzzles. Over the years, I have purchased a huge amount of puzzles using my credits. Now, the puzzles that you have chosen to allow the use of the coin credit option, I have already purchased. How long do you think it will take me to use up my remaining credits...or will I just end up losing them? I am very disappointed in your changes!! This is no way to treat your loyal customers!!! Why can’t I purchase ALL PUZZLES with my purchased coins? You already have my money tied up in my purchased coins (LOTS OF MY MONEY! ) Apparently money that you are now holding hostage unless I use more money to purchase ONLY THE PUZZLES YOU SAY THAT I CAN PURCHASE WITHOUT HAVING TO GIVE YOU MORE OF MY MONEY! This is a deceptive action on your part! The old “BAIT AND SWITCH” con game...encourage me to purchase your coins, then not allow me to purchase the puzzles that I want. You think that you are making you program better than it was? All you are doing is importing glitches into the former program and alienating all your loyal customers that unknowingly purchased your “COINS” that are now virtually useless!

Had problems for past few weeks with the app dropping my completed puzzles and not allowing custom uploads. After my bad review last week, the creators contacted me wanting to fix my problem so I could change my review. Their solution was that I should delete my app and reload with a web address they provided. They also warned that I could lose my purchases but gave me instructions to reload them. Sounds good—right? I followed their instructions. They had sent them in chat on the app. I had enough foresight to know that I needed to screenshot the address. I followed their instructions. Sure enough had to get new address from my screenshot. When it reloaded, no purchases, no points, and no chat! I followed the reload instructions many times. ABOUT A DOZEN PURCHASED PACKS AND 4000 POINTS ARE GONE!! That’s about $50 in puzzles down the drain. Now, to top that off, I have a $3.99 charge in my account for the Pro App I reloaded!! Bottom line— DON’T EVER BUG MORE TGAN A COUPLE PUZZLE PACKS AT A TIME! YOU MAY LOSE YOUR MONEY! I’ll keep playing for now, but I’m looking for another puzzle option. These guys need to find better r&d and technical support staff!! Very disappointed after a good 5 yers of puzzling!!

This used to be my favorite puzzle app. Someone named Pat in Support was always so nice and genuinely helpful. Over the Easter holiday, combined with the world’s current isolation, I played about 200 puzzles and bought a number of puzzle packs to add to the several I already own, in hopes of winning a few free puzzles in their latest “Golden Egg” contest. After a few days and hundreds of puzzles played, and countless ads watched even though I paid for the pro version, just one measly little puzzle was granted. One. Something was clearly wrong because typically this game is more generous. I asked Support about it and someone named Brandon was courteous enough, but his response was disappointing and came across as cavalier. He essentially said it was just random, and that was it. To me, to work this hard for essentially nothing takes all the fun out of it. Sadly, it’s now more like just another job. I ended up deleting the game.

I first rated this app 5 stars, but now I'm dropping it to 3 star (2 star crossed my mind). I still love working the puzzles, but it's very frustrating that the app loses all track of your progress (puzzles completed). I had completed several sets of puzzles and one day that history just disappeared. Now I can complete a puzzle and it doesn't show up as completed. Have they been too successful and don't have the computer power to keep up with their user base? As you see above, I started at 5 stars, then went to 3 stars. Now I give it 1 star only because zero and below is not available. I went through the same scenario again and, once again, everything disappeared. Now this app says Internet not available even though every other app works just fine. It will be interesting to see if this review posts (you know - with the internet not being available).
