  1. [R1] Art Puzzle 2/5 · GB Not what I expected: Its not very interactive more of like a kids game. Adult loose interest after certain time.
  2. [R7] Art Puzzle 1/5 · GB Mrs: Have to follow sequence cannot placed one item before another
  3. [R8] Art Puzzle 5/5 · GB Excellent app.: I’m absolutely addicted to this app. I’m on it every chance I get. It’s such a nice change from standard jigsaw puzzles, and just as challenging. Love it!
  4. [R11] Art Puzzle 5/5 · GB Where the Story Go?: Been playing this game for a while now and really like it. However I was following the storyline avidly through the different puzzles but the story seemed to abruptly stop and just pictures instead. It’s still really good though.
  5. [R6] Art Puzzle 3/5 · GB Good game but Bugs out: The second level keeps bugging out on me and I can’t get past it
  6. [R16] Art Puzzle 2/5 · GB Freeze: Over the last few days when I try to lift the objects to place on the right place the picture freezes the object falls back.You try again but it happens again.This is happening with every item which is making it quite frustrating.Usually I love playing this but I don’t know how long I can put up with this.
  7. [R31] Art Puzzle 1/5 · GB New Update: I did really enjoy this game but since the upgrade it seems to have gone down in appearance and just does not look as good as it used to very very disappointed I do not enjoy it anymore The appearance is very basic does not a nice as it used to I enjoyed doing the special challenge ones but even they do not have the same appearance
  8. [R39] Art Puzzle 1/5 · GB Needs an update: Every time I go to move a piece into place it jumps back to its original spot and because of this I can’t play the game because I can’t make a move
  9. [R4] Art Puzzle 2/5 · GB Way too many ads: Like this but the number of ads is really annoying. This app seems to have a disproportionate amount of ads which interrupt when playing
  10. [R10] Art Puzzle 2/5 · GB A little stressful due to the onscreen adverts: This used to be an amazing and relaxing app. More recently the adverts that pop up on the screen below the game, every 2 seconds, stops you moving or placing any jigsaw pieces into place. It has become quite annoying to play 😢
  11. [R13] Art Puzzle 1/5 · GB Art puzzle: Used to love this game got into the high 2000 level, the real issue was that you started a new level and with a few seconds a forced ad appears, the worst thing is that it took anything up to three months for a new set of puzzles, and of course the ads still interrupt you as you start a new level, you will be going through and then an ad appears, interrupts your level, spoils the compl
  12. [R18] Art Puzzle 3/5 · GB Way too many ads: Do love this game however due to an ad playing after every puzzle it pushes me ti just not play it. There is no need for that many ads.
  13. [R3] Art Puzzle 3/5 · GB Too Much Greenery!: Great little app. Various themes and collections. My only dislike is the excessive amount of plants and shrubs in nearly every puzzle. To the point where one scene has people having a picnic and they’ve brought along a potted plant!
  14. [R24] Art Puzzle 3/5 · GB All repeats: Why are all the new puzzles repeats of previous ones. Some as recently as a couple of weeks.
  15. [R33] Art Puzzle 1/5 · GB Shocked: I have been enjoying this game for months but I was shocked by the puzzle I just completed (number 1043) which was of a world with people holding hands around it, sounds lovely right? Well, it would have been if not only white people were included, where is the diversity of the world shown here?? I am in shock in this day and age that only one race is shown in a picture which is meant to
  16. [R34] Art Puzzle 5/5 · GB Repetition!: I have been playing this for the last couple of years. I love it especially as I am no longer able to do ‘proper’ jigsaws due to arthritis in my hands and thumbs. I realise that having complete 3600++ puzzles there may need to be repeated but I am disappointed that the repeat puzzles are ones that I have done in the last 4 weeks or so. I’m confident that I wouldn’t remember the pu
  17. [R15] Art Puzzle 3/5 · GB 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!
  18. [R20] Art Puzzle 4/5 · GB Great game, now i miss the story: I got weirdly invested in the story of this woman and her baby that you start off with and then it just kinda... ends?? in the middle. so now i have lost interested and will be uninstalling lol still is a fun game and a nice easy way to while away the time
  19. [R21] Art Puzzle 3/5 · GB 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
  20. [R17] Art Puzzle 5/5 · GB Beautiful, relaxing game: I've been playing this game since it first came out, years and years ago. I remember paying for the option to remove ads as soon as it became available and I'd highly recommend anyone who wants a more peaceful experience does the same! It's the perfect game to snuggle up under a blanket with. I have severe tinnitus and the calming nature of this game helps me to focus on
  21. [R47] Art Puzzle 1/5 · GB Ads are back: Paid for ads to be removed but all of a sudden I’m getting ads after every puzzle I complete, this needs to be resolved or money should be refunded.
