- [R21] Art Puzzle ads ruin it: Used to love this game to relax but the ads are ridiculous now. Literally every few minutes. Interrupt puzzles and without fail they’re there the second you finish one, and usually when you first click on one as well. Completely ruins the experience. They responded to previous reviews saying the same thing but nothing has changed
- [R22] Art Puzzle Disappointed: Love this game but I will need to delete the app as the constant ads are just too much. There’s about 10-15 adds per game 😩
- [R23] Art Puzzle More ads is weird: New update has too many ads. Finished a level had the ad after while having ads during the level as soon as the level was finished & I was taken to homepage another ad instantly pops up. I genuinely don’t wanna have to delete this app for ad farming.
- [R31] Art Puzzle Adverts are now TOO MUCH!: I love this game and have played for a long time. BUT they have kept increasing the number of ads and now you have 1 before the game, 1 after and at least 2 or 3 whilst playing! NOT acceptable. I wont pay this high price for a game either.
- [R3] Art Puzzle Nonickforme8: I play this game but a black screen comes up as an advertisement and I can’t shift it.
- [R10] Art Puzzle Infuriating: I seem to be constantly replaying games that are supposed to be new ones. I’ve done some games over half a dozen times. It’s boring now. Need new games. Might as well delete it. And now the screen keeps going black and I can’t get out of it unless I restart my phone. Which is an absolute pain in the arse.
- [R43] Art Puzzle Keep on getting stuck on ads: Been playing this game and it is really good but it seems to be getting stuck on the ads and it is getting really annoying now. Please sort it out before I delete the game permanently
- [R24] Art Puzzle Over heats phone since update.: I love this game, and have been playing for a while, however since the update last week my phone get really hot after just 10 mins of playing. This never happened before. So unfortunately I’ve had to rate it down otherwise would be 5*
- [R27] Art Puzzle Disappointed: I have played this game for quite a while and have loved it. However for awhile now the general puzzles have consisted of about 20 pictures which simply recycle. No new ones on general and so few which keep repeating. Also recently my iPhone screen has been heating up when playing so can only do a couple before I need to come out. No hot screen with any other app.
- [R46] Art Puzzle Overheats phone: I really like this game however just completing one puzzle causes my iPhone 12 Pro Max to seriously overheat. I don’t get this issue on Other games; it’s detrimental to battery life etc so a downgrade from 5*
- [R49] Art Puzzle Review: Love the game, however I can only play for maximum 3 minutes as it makes my phone red hot. The only game that does this to my phone
- [R1] Art Puzzle Don’t download if you value your time: In the advert it seems like the best game ever but when you download it and play a game it absolutely sucks. It is so so so so so fussy on the way you place things down and you can’t get passed the first level without hints. Also you keep doing the same levels
- [R6] Art Puzzle 🙂😕🤷♀️: Ad miss leading but still fine game
- [R9] Art Puzzle It’s ok but nothing like the ad: I played this quite a long time till I got bored with it, it’s just a lot of find the objects in the pictures, some are quite clever levels but others rather dull. The first few levels are about a lady cheated on by her man but that’s soon over and just a lot of sort of shape finding images after that. I’m glad it wasn’t all crying people in snowstorms though, I lo
- [R17] Art Puzzle Annoying: When I am playing other games -ads for this game come up and it looks excellent. Shivering people who need help and a choice of different levels. However I upgraded to purchase this game quite some time ago and it’s nothing like what’s being advertised now. It’s just still non-animated pictures some of which are dull and boring.
- [R12] Art Puzzle Frustrating: I find this game impossible. Initially I thought it really good but….. The idea is to cover the marks appropriate with the pieces on offer. However when almost complete there are no marks left and no clues are given to help. I am going to have to delete the app which is such a shame.
- [R13] Art Puzzle Worst game ever: try every combination and it does not let you put puzzle pieces in.
- [R16] Art Puzzle Rubbish: Put the broken glass in the window & it wouldn’t take it. Said wrong!
- [R7] Art Puzzle Good concept, poor i-pad experience: The game itself is genuinely enjoyable, I liked it enough to want to keep playing. However, the i-pad experience lets it down. The app is locked in landscape and does not support portrait mode, which makes it awkward to use and, at times, uncomfortable. What's more frustrating is the response from support, which claims this is due to i-pad limitations. That sim
- [R34] Art Puzzle Won’t play on portrait mode: Very disappointed having just recently downloaded this to find it will only play in landscape mode which makes a picture smaller. My sister has an iPad as Sim as me and her place in portrait. I have looked at every possible permutation to try to get it to play in portrait mode. There is nothing is me options and I have played with my rotation on off resetting reinstall
- [R4] Art Puzzle Previously a 5 star review but now 1 or would be 0.: I have been doing these puzzles every single day for over 4 years! This morning I couldn’t open the puzzle cos I had to sign all my data over to play it. Sorry but you have lost me. I don’t give a flying about ads or anything but I object to the extremely long list of partners that want to mine my data for bs reasons. Sorry to let you go as doin
- [R35] Art Puzzle Repeat puzzles: I purchased Art Puzzle quite a while back and I love it but recently I’ve found the puzzles keep repeating. I’ve done quite a few several times and it’s becoming boring. I am on 3951 and this one has come up 4 times since n the last few weeks. Please put some new ones up
- [R15] Art Puzzle Too many ads, too too expensive for no ads: It’s a great game, but as title, there are far too many adverts (1-3 per level) and to pay to go “ad free” is £15. Deffo not worth £15
- [R26] Art Puzzle Great game, but the ad‑free price is far too high: I’ve enjoyed EasyBrain’s games for years, I’ve played Differences daily for a long time, and I really appreciated when they added a version of Art Puzzle into that app. I paid for the ad‑free upgrade there because the company has always struck me as sensible: no unnecessary bells and whistles, no bloated features, just clean, relaxing gameplay.
- [R42] Art Puzzle Can’t get back to story!: I was happily completing the story of the woman with the baby. After level 20 I made the mistake of completing a challenge puzzle, now I can’t get back to the story! I can play Pearl Diver or Student Life, but not the story I was doing previously. If I tap on frame 21 it shows another challenge puzzle. Not happy!
- [R48] Art Puzzle No continuation of storyline: Just started playing and love it because there was a storyline, and the story line disappeared since level 19 and it’s just random puzzles. It’s okay but definitely not as interesting anymore
- [R51] Jigsaw Puzzles for Adults HD Arrow for all pieces missing: I like the game. The puzzles are great. Lots to choose from. One thing wrong. The arrow to pull up all the pieces went away. How can I get it back?
- [R53] Jigsaw Puzzles for Adults HD Ads: If you like ads, this is the app for you. An ad runs before, during, and after you complete the puzzle before claiming your coins. It can be relaxing but the ads can be frustrating.
- [R55] Jigsaw Puzzles for Adults HD YASS: I love when you get the perfect piece and it clicks in. It’s just awesome.🫰🫰🫰🫰🙌🙌🙌🙌🫶🫶🫶🫶
- [R57] Jigsaw Puzzles for Adults HD I love puzzles when they work right: This has so many ads….you only have time to put in one piece before at least 4 ads come up..getting the ads to stop is very cumbersome!
