Just Jigsaws

I've been playing this puzzle game for a while now and've really enjoyed it. What I don't like now is that when you complete a puzzle, instead of giving you the points automatically after completion, they now ask if you want to collect your points by watching an ad. Why should I have to watch an ad to collect my points for completing the puzzle, when I never had to before? That's one main reason why I finish the puzzles, is to collect points to buy more puzzles, without having to deal with ads.

I've downloaded numerous game apps and this is by far the best I've found. They have thought of every single possible thing with this puzzle app! If I sat down and made a list of what I'd like in an online puzzle, this would fit the bill! I just can't get over how completely perfect it is. If I had to add something and be really, really picky it would be to have an option to make the screen lock so the puzzle didn't move but the pieces you were trying to place would. Other than that, PERFECTION!

The puzzles are really nice and has three piece-style options to choose from: regular, irregular and wild. Coins take a long time to accumulate: 15 for one ad, and it only works half of the time. "Sorry, we couldn't find an advert for you right now". Feedback is unbelievably more inconvenient and difficult than it should be. Gboard and all off its features go away: swipe, cursor controls, select text, swipe from backspace deleting. And the keyboard will cover the text, and you can't select it.

I absolutely love this app for the puzzle layout, ease of use, and enjoyment it provides me. However, the "payout" of coins you get for completing a puzzle amounts to barely anything. Unless you're willing to pay real money for coins, you'll never be able to purchase more puzzles once you're through the free ones. Very discouraging. Would love to give 5 stars, but it doesn't seem like that'll be happening any time soon unless something changes...

I tried all the jigsaw apps and this is the best, no contest. Well-thought-out features like 4 sorting trays, the ability to select and move multiple pieces, and the ability to instantly neatly arrange pieces, or gather them all up to put them aside. The art selection is excellent. Few puzzles are free, but packs are available at a very fair price, and you can earn coins by playing. Most importantly, you can create your own puzzles from any image file, for free. FANTASTIC customer service!

This is so far the best virtual jigsaw app I've played. The controls are generally good (albeit "sticky" at times but not in a game-breaking way). The player can select piece style as well as (to an extent) the total number of pieces in the puzzle, making the same patterns a bit replayable. Also, a good variety of available puzzles. One thing that makes it less challenging than it probably should be is that pieces are always upright with no rotation required, but I consider this a minor flaw.

Great App! There are a couple of things that would make it 5 stars. The picture on screen is way too light and there aren't options to see a less translucent image. Some colors are harder to differentiate from each other. Actual jigsaw puzzles usually have the original picture, at least on the box, to reference. Also, I would love it if we had the option to make larger puzzles when we create them (250 is okay but it's really easy). But an option for, at least, 400 or 500 pieces would be great!

I had my doubts about how a jigsaw would work on my phone, but this app makes it not just possible, but so much fun! The zoom feature makes moving from section to section so easy, and the little "tray" is perfect for sorting out edges or specific colors. The number of free puzzles is very generous and coins aren't terribly expensive (plus I'm happy to contribute to the makers of a game I'll be playing for quite some time). I absolutely recommend.

In Feb. I gave this app 5 stars and wrote a favorable review. However, the app has since changed and so has my review. They have added ads, many ads, but not to before you start a puzzle nor to the end after finishing a puzzle. The ads come DURING the playing of the puzzle. I just got another set of puzzles. I will finish that set and will be deleting the app. I have finished that set and I am uninstalling the app. When the ads pop up they can shift your pieces you are placing.

I love this jigsaw puzzle app. I have tried several others, and most are difficult to play on my phone. But with Just Jigsaws I can sort pieces into trays, move them around easily, and get them out of the way when I want to. Having the picture behind the puzzle makes it much easier for me to play, and the best feature of all is the ability to automatically arrange pieces around the outside. I also have fun creating my own puzzles and sending them to my friends.

So I've been using a smartphone for over a decade now, and I've tried innumerable jigsaw puzzle apps. And without exception, I've tried them once, found the UI to be garbage and the gameplay not fun, and deleted it off my phone. This is also the first one I tried after getting a 1440p screen (because I suspect this is also a pixel density thing) but their UI really is excellent. The four little buckets to pile pieces into (for staging purposes) are a nice touch.

This game is very pretty and the controls seem well-implemented. There are some very good features - I especially like the ability to sort pieces into piles. But its strengths make it all the more baffling to me that you can't rotate pieces. Having every single piece in exactly the right orientation makes even the largest puzzles way too easy to solve. Less of a jigsaw puzzle, more of a "put the picture together" puzzle which...isn't the same thing. Disappointing.

This is hands-down my favorite jigsaw mobile game. I've tried several, and none of them were as good as this one, mainly because you're able to do huge 1,000 piece puzzles unlike those others. I have to take a star off though for two reasons. One, puzzle packs are wayyy too expensive. You either have to spend a long time grinding for coins, or buy coins with real money to get them. And second, why did they make it so you have to watch an ad to collect your coin reward?? Besides that, very solid.

The pictures are nice and I like when the pieces are scattered around the puzzle instead of just in a line on the bottom. Too bad though, that the pieces don't snap into place well. You have to work hard to get them in exactly the right position for them to click and even then it doesn't always work. Annoying and not enjoyable. Uninstalled after first puzzle.

Edit: Game finally went to ads. I understand why, but I disagree with having to watch an ad to get your coins. If you don't watch the ad, coins are forfeited. So, after completing the puzzle, you must watch an ad or lose any coins earned. I wish I could pay a small fee to remove ads & win my coins as before. I still really enjoy this game, & it's still far superior to any other jigsaw puzzle game I have played. If the option to go ad-free is ever available, I may go back to a five-star rating.

this is pretty nice. it is relaxing because there is no timer going all the time. the graphics are great, ability to make your own picture or get built-in ones. no intrusive ads while in a puzzle. there is the ability to choose how many pieces you want. the only thing that doesn't make it realistic is no rotation on the pieces, which would make solving much harder, but I like it the way it is.

The ads ruin this game for me. I never complain abt ads in free games, but you have to watch full ads to get any coins, even if u finish puzzles. When you do watch, you don't get many so it takes a little bit to save for a new pack. I love the interface, the options you have while doing each puzzle, and I am a fan of the puzzle selection. But I want to play the game, not watch ads or pull out my wallet.
