In app store, when you hit app support, it goes to a site called hugedomain.com. When downloading a photo hugedomain.com shows up. What is going on? This has always been such a good app.
Join it was a great puzzle app in that it did feel more like putting together a real puzzle and the 500 puzzle piece is much better than any other app I have yet found. But, and this is an annoying but, realism should only go so far and I HATE having to sort my edge pieces out on my own! For that reason alone I am finally deleting this app. I have waited and waited for an update that would add this feature but I've lost hope one will ever come. I'll just use another puzzle app.
I love this app. Been playing it since my iPad 1. Would get a perfect rating except for a major and a minor complaint. Major: Destroy the Heap function can't be turned off and will ruin carefully lined up pieces. Can't get it to work when I want and really aggravates when it unexpectedly works. Minor: backgrounds. There is no pure black or white, and most of the colors are useless. Tried other jigsaw apps when an update went bad, and came right back when the bugs were fixed. Allow Destroy the Heap to be toggled and I'll give this 6 stars.
Before computers, before electronic games... In the days of simplicity, family gatherings at my Mom's house were not complete without a card table set up with a jig-saw puzzle. As I recall, there were only two chairs at this table, while there were easily sixteen or seventeen at the dinner table. So, any time someone was overwhelmed with it all, they simply took a turn at the jig-saw. I haven't worked one in years, but having found this app, I was once again able to escape for a while! Sadly, when I upgraded to iPad Air, the love affair was over. It freezes on every picture, can't do a thing.
This is the BEST jigsaw puzzle app mainly because I can use my own photos. But it is freezing up each time I go to choose my photo to make a puzzle out of. There is obviously a glitch so PLEASE fix this as it's getting too frustrating to try to get a puzzle started. Once this is fixed, I'll go back to a 5 star rating!
I love this app, I've used it for years and it's been great for passing time. However I only ever use my own photos and now it freezes up on me every time I go to either add in new images or choose one to start a puzzle. Once I manage to actually start a puzzle things work great but it's beyond frustrating trying to get it actually started. Once this is fixed I will change my rating to five stars.
