Magic Jigsaw Puzzles－Games HD

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 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.

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.............

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.
