Update on my previous rating. Since figuring out how to navigate the game this has become my absolute go to game. I would recommend it to everyone with the warning that there's a several ads but the game is so interesting, a challenge but not too much that you give up. But, one warning, a lot of the ads glitch and you have to go out of the game and restart. If the glitch isn't I uninstall, it's that bad. Some of the art is difficult to see, they are way too dark.

The app was great to start with. The graphics for the different stories are spectacular. Then I started chapter 3 of The Secret Garden and no white outlines or back ground would show up. When I did get a picture placed in the right spot (using clues) it would show up for a second then disappear. It then was happening with any puzzle I opened. I tried to force stop it, but it didn't help. I hope you guys can fix this issue as it really is a great app.

I don't usually review games, and when I do it's usually when a game is pretty bad. However, in this case, I wanted to rave about this one because wowee is it enjoyable. I love the music, the puzzles are very fun, you have the option to pay to remove ads.. One thing though. The spell check is.. Not that great. It gets pretty noticeable when you see 'anabandoned' hahahah. Maybe get that spell checker goin' a bit more? Either way, I'm loving the experience a lot!

I like the puzzles, but the layout is really confusing. There doesn't seem to be a menu. There are these 'drops' you earn from completing each puzzle, but why? One of the loading screen mentions turning off the music in the settings, but there is no settings. I'm sure it's a bug, but it's still got to be fixed. Also, the narrative of the books seems to be written by someone whose first language is not English. It *almost* makes sense. ETA: Arrow is there now!

I really love this app! The pics are challenging at times, without being stressful. I love that they are from classic books. Very beautiful drawings, and accurate lines when placing the pieces, which is not always the case, in other games. The ads are always after you finish the puzzle, and you can skip them after about 5 seconds! Unless you are unlocking a reward of course. There is nice music that can be turned off if you don't like it . This is one of my favorite games, so relaxing.

I really like this game. However there are a couple glitches I've run into. First, the ad banner at the bottom of the screen makes it impossible to click on the play now button. I tried several times a day for a week or so to no avail. Finally I ended up uninstalling & reinstalling, having to start over. Now a new bug. The "internet not available" box shows up at the start upon opening the game. It hasn't gone away for 2 days now, & doesn't allow any puzzles to open for play.

Really fun, brilliant concept, but there is an issue that I've found. I'm not sure if it's like this on other puzzles, but in Hamlet (specifically the first puzzle since that's what I'm currently working on), the white indicator lines are WAAAAAAAY off from the actual pieces, which presents a bit of trouble when trying to solve puzzles. Not only that, but the layering of some of the pieces aren't that great. Still a good game. I also didn't receive any pre-registration items.

Hi! Wonderful game so far! I love that it's different from the other art puzzle games in that it tells a story! One thing, though. I just finished the first chapter of Greek Mythology, and the third puzzle, with Oceanus, has a couple of difficult pieces at the very end. It's hard to see the outline without looking really hard, as they're very close in color. I ended up finding it without needing to use a hint, but I think the outline could be a little more obvious.

There are many things to like about this game: the images are pretty with a hand-drawn feel, the pieces are colorful and lively, and it's easy to play with simple, straightforward mechanics. My complaint is that I've only done about 20 puzzles, but those have started showing up again as other levels and I've stopped seeing any new content. Maybe this duplication is a glitch? Overall, this is a great, relaxing game that i want to play more, so I'll leave it installed and try again in the future.

Tried this game because Art Puzzle (a similar game) ad's were getting annoying and this was on Play Pass. Art Story has a larger variety of puzzles and concepts compared to others that I really like. This game manages to be challenging but relaxing at the same time. I gave it 3 ⭐ because there's not supposed to have ad's if you pay for Play Pass but ads still show up after I finish a puzzle. Otherwise it would 5⭐.

Please fix the internet connection issue with this app! I miss my favorite. So charming and educational. Unique. I really like the feel of this game, the music, the stories and puzzle application. Unfortunately, the app stopped recognizing my internet connection. Every device in my house can access the internet, but not this app! I see many others are having the same issue.

absolutely beautiful game, with a lot of care taken with both the art and the play style. I've been working my way through the Frankenstein book before bed, and it's been really relaxing. there's a few bugs with the interface sometimes, but nothing that inhibits play or quality of life. really hoping for more classic horror books to be added! maybe Dracula, or even modern horror. I think the art style really benefits from a creepy tale! wonderful game, good job Devs.

While the artwork is lovely, the stories have extremely poor grammar, punctuation and syntax. In addition, the images and puzzle pieces can at times be so small that I can't hardly see them or tell what they are, so the program needs the ability to zoom in on the image. Overall, needs a professional language editor and lots of tweaks for me to continue playing.

Fun but frustrating. I really like the concept but I'm super annoyed that I can't just put things where I know they go. They make you go in layers and it forces you to scroll back and forth a lot, taking up a lot of extra time, because it's forcing you to place pieces in unrelated order. Just let me put pieces down so I can move on lol. *Adding, dropping stars to 2. As others have said, puzzles don't update across categories. VERY annoying.

Love the game, I even paid to remove ads. However, every time the game updates, all my progress resets. Usually, I can get it back, but this last time, that didn't happen. This makes 3 separate times I've had to start all over. I most likely won't be playing again. Its too frustrating to get 700 puzzles in and have to start from zero constantly.

game is pretty fun I love all of the artwork each book is a different art style that fits the overall story. The base game is basically drag and drop pieces of the picture until it is whole. they do have events where they turn their artwork into jigsaws, spinning circles, or sliding boxes. The daily puzzle is like the default puzzles but it has a timer which gives an extra challenge. My only complaint Greek mythology is complete but it could use more pictures Also would like to know the artists.

Hello! I usually don't write reviews with my ratings but this game is exceptional! I'm a huge fan of mobile puzzle games and this is one of the most well done of this kind that I've encountered. I love the layering to these that makes them a little challenging at times, but easy enough to play idly while watching TV or relaxing before bed. I really love the different modes to mix it up! I play this game almost everyday and havent gotten bored even when redoing scenes I've done before. 5 stars!

Art is beautiful but the UI is annoying. I don't want the "special gifts". I would like to turn it off. I have to search for the book on every time I open the app which is annoying. It's not even one of the first books on the list. Waiting for the reward at the end of the puzzle takes too long because the animation is so slow. It also takes too long to go to the next puzzle because you have to wait for the animation on the last puzzle to finish. It's so frustrating.

This is the absolutely most beautifully zen puzzle game I've ever played. definitely worth ad free, and with the different events and daily puzzles to mix things up, the experience never gets stale. in the event stages I always try and guess the story before I finish, (kinda like name that tune) And being able to buy books is wonderful, what a selection and so many amazing art styles, very, very well done.

I had to unsubscribe unfortunately. I really love this puzzle. But after the update I can't get past puzzle one now because I can't even put the puzzle in its place it will not let me. What have you done to the skies it was better 2 years ago maybe you don't need to update it so much unless you're putting more puzzles and books in. It's just too frustrating to even try to play with it
