I have a new daily source of inspiration thanks to
Planet 316. They have a fabulous FREE app called
Daily Bible Jigsaw which Nathaniel and I have been using on my Android smart phone. Today's review will be slightly different to my normal review. This one will be more of a show and tell with pictures.
How does it work?
The app is available to download through:
When you open the app you will have the option of signing up with your email or using Facebook. Each time you open the app you will click Log in and it will generate a new puzzle. I loved the name for each day (Motivational Monday, Renewing Saturday, etc) During the first few times you play the app it will prompt you with a hint on how to use the app.
Once the puzzle is loaded the timer will begin in the top right hand corner and it will continue counting until you place the final piece.
Once the final piece of the puzzle is placed the puzzle fades into a beautiful photograph and a scripture verse appears. There are also streamers and confetti to celebrate the completion of the puzzle. IF your account is linked to Facebook you will be asked if you would like to share it to Facebook.
After you have finished the puzzle morphs into a puzzle piece which is added into a month long puzzle. The puzzle pieces fill in every day you do the new puzzle. If you miss a day you will have a missing piece in your monthly puzzle. The missing puzzle piece/puzzles can be purchased using in game puzzle coin currency. During each puzzle there is a boost piece which lights up. If you are able to connect this piece to it's mate you earn a puzzle coin!
You can earn FREE coins through sharing on Facebook or purchasing.
Planet 316 gifted members of the Homeschool Review Crew with 500 coins (worth $39.99) to expand our experience and enable us to complete a month of puzzles.
It was very rewarding watching the puzzle pieces fill in each day and watching the picture appear.
Each day as we built the beautiful puzzles I began to really anticipate a new scripture to meditate upon.
There is an Awards center in the App in which you can earn awards and special tokens as well as a leader board if you sign up via Facebook. A few of our Crew joined up together and there has been some fabulous challenges to see who could get to the top of the leader board!
I was quite thrilled to see the puzzle completed by the end of the month!
In the Future
Planet 316 has some fabulous ideas in the pipeline for the future. Here are couple of the ideas they are working on:
- They are very excited about connecting the Bible verses to the Fusion Bible. The Fusion Bible is an all new digital bible app they are releasing later this year.
For example after completing a puzzle players would have the opportunity to read the passage of scripture by simply clicking on the a button that opens directly to the that passage in the Fusion Bible.
- Considering adding a Scripture of the month to the monthly puzzle upon completion
- Being able to share the inspirational scripture / picture to Instagram.
Daily Bible Jigsaw has been loads of fun and has lived up to it's aim of providing inspirational bible verses to meditate upon along with beautiful photographs. I hope that you and your family will be as blessed as we have been with this app.
Blessings

it's kinda neat isn't it, how you complete puzzles to make another puzzle isn't it? :)
