Jigsaw Puzzle by MobilityWare+ Hack 2023.4.102.221 + Redeem Codes

This puzzle app does the job. Love the wide range of puzzle options, ability to use your own picture, and I can get into the puzzling pretty well. It would be nice if there were more varied cuts to the puzzle pieces, but overall not a big deal.

The one thing really keeping the app from 5 stars is the tutorial prompts. Now obviously when you start using the app, it’s good to learn where things are. But I’m now 100 puzzles in and it is still reminding me you can filter to edge pieces at the start of EVERY SINGLE PUZZLE. The message blocks seeing puzzle pieces until I dismiss it. Funny thing is, whether or not I want to filter to edges, I’m tired of being told! It’s bad for both people who don’t want the feature and people who do want it at this point! Same thing with the message about locking the board zoom. Here’s a hint on locking the view: I never ever ever want to do it, because it is actively bad at puzzle sizes greater than about 150 pieces on a phone screen. Try it, and see if you can do the puzzle. Telling me about it is annoying noise. I’ve looked for something to turn these off in the settings multiple times and found nothing.

Find some way to suppress or let me disable these annoyances and I’ll easily bump my rating up to 5 stars.

I rarely write reviews for apps but as soon as I saw this dropped, I was immediately excited! I have been playing another jigsaw puzzle app for a year or two and I was soooo annoyed with the ads that would pop up while working a puzzle but the subscription they offered was too much for too little content (and the content that was offered was very stock photo options with very little actually cute puzzles). Not this one!

So many amazing designs are offered! Disney, art, paintings and so much more. I love that you can use your own photos for puzzles and the organization for bigger puzzles with the trays and table settings is a million times better than the app I was using before. I’ve seen a few people complain that a lot of the puzzles max at 1000 pieces - I’m personally not too upset with that at the moment but I would love to try my hand at a 3,000 or 5,000 piece puzzle sometime in the future. I love puzzles but I have a zoo at home and it is impossible for me to work on a real puzzle without losing the pieces thanks to my lovely cats so I work on digital puzzles instead.

Hands down the best puzzle app on the App Store! If you like puzzles, I think you will love this app. I’ve spent so much time working puzzles since launch and guarantee I’ll put in many more!

This is one of my favorite apps. I have 2 suggestions. Tag the puzzles better. When I search “home” or “house” for example, it pulls up very limited results when I know there are thousands of puzzles that fit this criteria. The search function would work much better if you guys would tag them on the back end. Also, the discovery section on the home page has had the same puzzles since I’ve downloaded the app. It would be cool if it randomly selected new puzzles everyday to show so I could actually discover new puzzles. There are literally thousands of puzzles which is what I love about this app! Help me discover them!

In a real jigsaw puzzle, or in the most serious games in the Apple Store, a puzzle isn’t just a matter of where does a piece looks like it fits: It’s about whether the same of two pieces physically connects correctly. This is extra special in areas with minimal color and shape gradients: There might be 80 candidates that have a similar color, but the edges of the wrong pieces don’t even look like they connect if you look close, as the shape is wrong. A good puzzle solver can then, just by eye, know how pieces pair up without actually looking at the picture.

In this game, this isn’t true. There are basically 4 piece shapes, and the edges are indistinguishable at playable zoom levels. Therefore there is a lot more trial and error in, say, a 500+ puzzle with a blue sky covering 25% of it, when in other apps, or a quality physical puzzle, this wouldn’t happen. So really, this game is jus not at its best past, say, 100 pieces, and you have to go all by the picture.

Try this puzzle app and you'll never want to get rid of Apple Arcade. Puts many puzzle apps to shame.

Don't get me wrong. I love Patterns but this app is easier for me to play. I have gotten several of the Mobility Ware before I had Apple Arcade. Much better in Apple Arcade.

So far, all the puzzles have been free. Run to as little as 10 puzzles to 40 per group. Most of the Disney are the normal wonderful pictures. They have at least two Winnie the Pooh groups, Lilo and Stitch. 101 Dalmations to newer movies. Encanto. They have got groups of pictures. Disney Villans, Disney Princesses.

I've given info about the Disney puzzles since so many people love them, but they have a set of Norman Rockwell pictures. Drawings that country ketch, cats, dogs, farm animals, wild animals, patterns, etc.

The lowest number of choice is 9. The highest I've gone is 144. Table backgrounds are limited. Only about 10. You also have the choice of difficulty level relating to how you want your prices set. The inner pieces you can place and they won't move. Nice to play with prview in background.

I have enjoyed this app a lot.

This, Goat Simulator, Samurai Jack, and Don’t Starve I think represent excellent examples of how Apple Arcade has matured into something truly valuable. There have been puzzle games before on iPad, but they’ve been bogged down by a cost that is hard to justify before you know how the UI/UX is for the game and with far fewer puzzles. One would only hope a paid game would have a custom puzzle option. As a UI/UX designer, this is an exceptional implementation of doing this game right. Importantly, these games represent a gap filled by Apple Arcade as quality games that truly benefit from being part of a subscription model rather than in-app purchases and/or one time purchase.

I really enjoy this app. Puzzles can be simple or difficult depending on your choice of puzzle or number of pieces. Can be enjoyed by children or adults for that reason. Very calming and addictive. Lots of choices of puzzles. Seems very polished to me, but I’ve never used a puzzle app before to compare it to. Pieces visibly snap into place to give feedback of a correct placement. Only potential negative is using the finger to drag can be “sticky” at times. The Apple Pencil really helps for this, but not absolutely essential. My iPad mini is a bit of a small canvas for this but it’s doable. Would be wonderful on a bigger iPad. Promises many many hours of enjoyment.

I played another app for years. Even tho I spent a LOT of money with that app, I still got pop-up ads for other puzzle packs while playing. I complained, and apparently spending money only kept me from getting pop-up ads from other, third-party games, not the developer’s ads. This app does not advertise in-game. Thank you! It’s part of the Apple Arcade charm. That and less tracking.

Is there anyway to stop the animation and focus on the last piece? It feels like the “win” is taken from me..

This is a great puzzle app and I have already spent many hours with it. The puzzles are varied and beautiful and being able to turn my own pictures into a puzzle is truly fun. It also saves me from doing real life puzzles and having my pieces stolen by a cat. The one thing I would request is that you are able to show puzzles done on other apple products like my IPad, IPhone and IPad mini. Since they’re all under the same login I would think that would be possible. 🤞

I’ve played the original of this app and enjoyed it a lot. It is nice that it has come to Apple Arcade; however, this version crashes all the time. I’ve never had the original crash. My progress is saves so I’m not having to redo any part of the puzzles. However, since the developer already has a stable version of the app, it would make since that they could fix this one. Get this fixed and the app is 5 stars.

Update: I’ve updated to the latest version and the game still crashes. MobilityWare requested I send a support ticket and I haven’t heard anything. However, I will send another one just to make sure. This can really be a 5 store app, but the crashing needs to be fixed.
