User Reviews for Hidden Pictures Puzzle Play

Issues using the app

We have enjoyed using this app on an iPhone, iPad, and in our Mac Chrome browser since we purchased the annual subscription June 15, 2020. We have an active subscription through June 16, 2021. But something has changed in the last week or two (with the updated look). No matter how many times I uninstall the app and try logging back in, it now says I don’t have a subscription even though the App Store confirms our subscription is still active. The app sent me to Highlights for support but they said I had to contact the apple store. Writing a review seems to be the only way to attempt getting customer support. Can you help?

Good game. Fun but frustrating

I like the game but my one complaint would be that it crashes more than any app I’ve EVER had. Very frustrating. I’ve had to delete and install it several times. I’ve had to start over because the first time didn’t save my progress )I almost quit then. Maybe should have) I’m about to do it again because it just crashed but it’s going to be the last time I do thisAnd now after reading the other reviews it is CLEARLY an ongoing problem that they can’t seem to fix and obviously don’t care to fix. Just get your money and go right? I’m sorry but all other apps manage to make it work. AND you are charging for this? The more I type the more frustrated I get so I’ll stop.

Subscribed since Oct, updates rare

So disappointed! I’ve been subscribed since October and I’ve seen one actual refresh of more than one puzzle. The daily ‘new’ puzzle is commonly a reused puzzle that’s already in your library. I’m giving this until the next renewal, because I love the hidden picture books & wanted to give the developers a legitimate chance to update…but honestly I’ve even reached out to highlights and the app developers…nothing! It’s so frustrating because I’m paying money for a service that isn’t reciprocating, at least rotate your library more frequently…why are there Halloween ones still up and have never changed?

Good but Frustrating

I gave this app 2 stars because I have been trying to get new puzzles for seven to eight months, to no avail. My subscription is thru Apple. I checked it and it shows that the monthly subscription fee has been paid every month, but I can’t seem to get any new puzzles. I have tried deleting the app and reinstalling it several times and still get no new puzzles. I’ve even tried logging into my Hidden Pictures account from the web and I still only get old content, which I have played all of them more than once. When you can get new app content, the app is awesome and fun to play. Unfortunately, I’m going to have to cancel my subscription because I’m paying for the subscription every month but unable to get new content.

Always loved hidden pics as a kid

I got the subscription to use on my phone for my grandson. He’s 7 and loves doing hidden pic games with me. I always loved the magazine as a kid and found myself always doing the magazine in the doctors office with my kids when I had my own kids and they had appointments. The magazine was actually great for kids. But I’m super happy you did the hidden pics games on phones for kids. It’s great! And I actually find myself doing them if I’m waiting for an appointment and have a few minutes to kill. I don’t always want a fast paused game and this is perfect for me and my grandson on the way to school!! Thanks for making these on an app!! Just really good memories!

Don’t waste your time!

This app/game is a JOKE! I got this after enjoying a book version but was VERY disappointed to find out I could only play a limited amount WITHOUT paying a monthly or yearly subscription! I am opposed to paying to USE an app/game that is FREE to download! I have NEVER paid to download an app so why would I pay to use/play the app/game? As soon as I did all of the free stuff I promptly deleted it! Don’t waste your time with this unless you want to pay, otherwise its a waste!Update (following your response): Having “free daily puzzles” DOES NOT resolve anything! What if I had already finished all the free stuff & don’t want to stop playing? I don’t have a choice WITHOUT PAYING & I had ALREADY CLEARLY STATED that I am NOT PAYING to play the app/game! What part of that is so hard for you to understand?

Enjoy the game but it needs some QC

I really enjoy this game, but there are a couple of issues that need to be addressed. There are some levels that have items just out of view (at least on my iPad screen) or items that don’t register as found if you click on them. My biggest frustration is that the app seems to crash after every iOS update. I did a soft reset on my device and that did not fix the issue- the game continued to crash every time I tried to open it. I had to delete it from my device and download it again. I was able to restore my purchase and access the different levels BUT ALL of my progress was gone. It was very frustrating to have to start at the very beginning again and not have access to the levels that I had previously unlocked. For the price, I think these quality control issues need to be corrected.

Great game but not worth paying for!

I enjoyed Highlights magazine throughout my childhood so I didn’t hesitate to subscribe to play this game. It was great at first but now it continues to crash. When I delete the app and download it again, all of my progress is gone. Even if I sign in, my progress is not there. I don’t like having to redo the same pictures over and over. If I’m paying for something, I expect acceptable quality. There are also a few boards with glitches where the item isn’t even visible in the picture unless you use the hint button, then it magically appears on the screen. Good app, needs work, not worth paying for. I’m deleting for good since it crashed again for the 3rd time and didn’t save anything.

I have received no new puzzles in over a year

I purchased a subscription for the grandkids and it was a great purchase for about a year. Now it’s been over a year and I’ve continued to pay in hopes a glitch would get fixed and restore all the purchases I’ve made. Yes, I have clicked the “restore” button. I don’t want to delete the app and re-install because it would erase the 100s of puzzles the kids have completed. I also don’t want to delete my subscription because I would be out all the money I’ve paid and getting nothing for it. I cannot get a hold of any support or customer service to address my issue so I had to include it in a review. If there’s any way Highlights could restore my purchases and guarantee I would receive new puzzles OR support to contact if I don’t then I would continue my monthly subscription. Thank you,Gramma Valerie(Grandmother of 8!)

Nostalgia!!

This is a long one so bare with me, I RARELY leave reviews, but I feel like its necessary for this game. I’m an 18 year old college student and I ADORE THIS GAME!!! Growing up all throughout elementary i would always rush to finish my assignment so that my teacher could give me a highlights magazine. I used to steal them and take them home because i was so obsessed with them. I was so excited to see that this was still a thing, and in application form. Everything is just as fun as I remember, and they’re still challenging which I love. I’m a huge fan of ‘I-Spy’ type games so I consider myself to be pretty good, so I was worried this would be too easy. Not at all! Amazing game. Thank you so much!
