Art Puzzle - Jigsaw Games 12+

Update! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I had loved this app til the emojis were added. I just opened the app again after being gone for some time and found they have been removed!! Thank you! I love this app! I love the art! I so appreciate the developers listening to the many complaints about the emojis and taking action! I changed my star rating from a 1 to a 5!! Awesome job guys! Thank you!! Update review- Holy cow. Can you say empty promises! I’ve dropped my rating to a 1. I’ve never seen so many complaints of a feature on an app as there has been for the annoying emojis on this app. Yet the developers are completely ignoring this! I keep checking in to see if there’s an update that gives me an update to disable the emojis and there still isn’t one, even with a new update. I won’t be back for the foreseeable future which is sad to me. Badly done developers, badly done. Previous review : I have loved this game. I find it so relaxing and it helps take my mind off stressful things. But I HATE the emojis!! Please give us the option of turning them off!! I’ve read in a few of the developer responses they are considering adding the option. Please do it ASAP cuz if I have to wait months for the update- I may have to stop playing the game which means I may not come back to it. I truly hope the developers are listening!

Hello! We're really sorry to hear about your disappointment with the emojis in our app. We understand that this feature has not been well received by some of our users. The next update will offer options to address your concern. We're continuously working on improving the game and value all feedback we receive. It's unfortunate to lose a valued player over this, and we hope you might reconsider in the future.

Let me preface this review by saying that I love, and am hopelessly addicted to this app, so much so that I have just totally finished all 1000+ puzzles in the game and am waiting for new puzzles to be added. With that being said, I’m going to have to say that there are a few issues that need to be addressed and the first one is this: The puzzles must be solved in sequence with no option to skip ahead or go back, erase and recolor. If that were not the case, I wouldn’t be waiting on more additions. I do feel that not all the puzzles are appealing and sometimes would like to skip over one, but this is not allowed. Secondly, I feel like the developers need to decide exactly what audience they want to attract. Some of the puzzles are very juvenile in feel with lots of cats, mushrooms and almost cartoon-like characters. These do not appeal to me as much as the more mature landscapes, home decor and other more mature scenes. So, if solving in sequence is mandatory, there is no way to get around the more juvenile themes and you just have to bite the bullet and plow through them. I have had no problems with crashes and there is a very nominal price to get rid of the ads. So, c’mon guys! Let me give you a five-star review.

Hello! Thank you for contacting us and leaving a review! We can see from your review why these features you mentioned are so valuable for you, and we appreciate you for sharing your thoughts. Now that we are aware of that, we'd definitely think about making the game satisfying for all players. Again, thanks for your feedback, and please stay with us for the upcoming Art Puzzle updates! If you have any clear ideas of what topics should be used for creating puzzles, please let us know.

UPDATE: It occurred to me, belatedly, to check settings for an option to remove ads, and there is one. Hallelujah! Upgrading my 2-star rating to 4.

Original Comments:
This game is supposed to be relaxing, but all the ads defeat that purpose and just make it tedious and frustrating. You start with a background “canvas” and all the various elements that you’ll be adding to it are at the bottom of the screen. The elements are added one batch at a time, but the process is interrupted by ads you have to endure between every couple batches. This translates to having to watch maybe 3-5 ads for every picture you complete. Then when the picture is finished, there will be yet another ad before you can move on to another picture. Additionally, sometimes the last element in a batch is so obscure and hard to find, you’re pretty much forced to watch an ad in order to obtain a hint, just so you can move on. I’ve come to really really hate this sort of ad-based “free” game. I only play 2-4 casual games at a time, but when they’re all like this, that ends up being a ton of ads I’m watching (or rather, trying to ignore) every single day, and I’m heartily sick of it! When a game offers an ad-free upgrade for $3-5, I’m HAPPY to pay that, once I’ve played long enough to know I’ll enjoy the game for at least a few months. So take my money and leave me alone with all the frickin’ ads!
