Jigsawscapes® - Jigsaw Puzzles

Dear Developer, Thank you for replying and providing a suggestion to retrieve the upswipe arrow to display Multiple Columns and Multiple Rows of pieces from which to simultaneously select. I Already had this feature selected and still the Upswipe Arrow had disappeared, however today the arrow MAGICALLY appeared and I can now view and select from (on my phone) 40 !!!!! Pieces At A Time!! So now, it is again, a much more enjoyable puzzle experience. However it happened, thank you.🧩🧩🧩 Updates usually fix something but the recent update that deleted the arrow to have full screen view and select Many pieces at a time is not a fix or improvement😠. It makes the game Much Less Enjoyable only being able to view a few pieces at a time and having to go swiping the bar back and forth to look for pieces. Until this 'fix' is 'unfixed' I am looking for a new puzzle app.

Update (original review below): Today when I opened the puzzle, there were the normal annoying ads for other games that play every time I open the app, finish a puzzle, start a new puzzle, etc. But now there are these ads with sound that force pauses anything I’m listening to. They only take up a small part of the board, and they do allow me to mute them, but only after they play long enough to stop whatever I’m listening to before the mute option opens, so I have to leave the puzzle app to go to the other app to restart what I’m listening to. Then within only a minute or two, another loud ad pops up and this process repeats over and over. It’s now impossible to use this app to relax, even if I give up trying to listen to something in the background, I am jarred out of the peace that puzzling brings by yet another loud ad that I must listen to before I can mute it. I spend more time trying to mute the ads than doing the puzzle. I was willing to deal with the ads before, since it’s a free app, but the new in-puzzle ads have ruined any calm. I would rather pay, but there is no option for that, so I am deleting this app. So disappointing. The following original review was 5 stars: I love these puzzles. The ads can be annoying, but they aren’t very long, so no big deal. I would love for there to be a search function to find puzzles based on my mood or interest. I really don’t like having to scroll to find what I’m looking for. There are soooo many puzzles, that a search option is almost needed! Thanks again.

I was really happy about the puzzles and enjoying them until…..there was an ad just shown and you know, I’m completely offended!! It started off very inappropriately and NOT suited for young eyes at all nor mine as an adult!!! How irresponsible of whatever company for making such games/ads. Idk if this company is the one who is in charge of what ads are displayed or not, but if so, what a shame!! I’m deleting this app because I don’t want to have to risk seeing such filth again! I can only pray young children don’t see it either. I shouldn’t have to pay for apps all the time just to avoid having ads like the one that was shown. It would be nice if there were a way to block and report such ads as well. Partial nudity and sexual content should never be displayed in an app and for children to risk even seeing. Another app wasted due to stupid ads. I really was enjoying the puzzles. Ahhhh!! Update: You say that you’re aware and trying to resolve it. I truly hope so. It really made me sick and am still having flashbacks. I barely can open anything without fear of seeing that filth. Your app ad claims it’s supposed to be an ad free game. Yet it has ads all the time throughout. Am I supposed to pay for it to be as free? I don’t remember seeing that part. I still haven’t reinstalled it. I’m really scared to even try at this point. I miss the beautiful puzzles. The graphics are very nice! I might reinstall later this week. I haven’t decided. Thanks for reaching back and understanding how horrible that ad was. I pray you guys can get those blocked once and for all.
