Community Insight:
Hey we love this game our record is 00:12:32 seconds!!! We wonder if that's a world record.
We love it! You can also use any picture in your album.
It's addicting, easy to use, customizable and above all: fun! Can't recommend this any higher, it is fantastic! Thank you for making it, and for it being free.
We love this app, use it almost everyday!! Our high score is 19 seconds, only way to prove it is to take a screen shot, which we did, so we have proof but high scores would be nice, anyone beat 19 yet.
Awesome puzzle game, could use high scores, but still awesome.
There's one infuriating problem with this app. If you pause for a second, a bar pops up across the bottom of the screen with the game controls, including the "New" button. If you're playing in Rectangle mode, which takes up the whole screen, you're likely to bump this button – and the game resets. No confirmation, just BOOM your game is gone. Makes us want to throw our iPod against the wall. Other than that it's a great game.
The only request we have is being able to pick a section of a photo to use so it's not all stretched Also, for all those experiencing crashes. Just delete and re-install the app.
It is so fun. Within the first hour, we solved this puzzle for the first time and more.
This app is one of our favorites you can play it anywhere anytime and it's fun. But when you lock your phone while it's still running the timer will keep on going on and on.
This game is so much better than any similar app that we've seen, and it is extremely addictive.
This is the best 15 puzzle App out there. The only thing that would make it better is if it had a high score table.
Our kids and we love this game! Our husband even plays it…brings back the good ol' days :).
The best app we have. Great for free time. Really keeps you busy. It hasn't givin us any problems.
It's a great application and it's free. The only problem is that there is no way to record your best times. Our highest is 38 seconds and our friends won't believe us.
This app is so fun. You can just keep finishing it faster and faster. The photo feature is great!! We strongly suggest this app.
This game is really fun! The only problem we have, though, is that when we're working on the bottom of the puzzle, the menu will pop up and we'll accidentally press the "new" button. So, that should be relocated. Also, a landscape mode would be nice for some of the images we have that are landscape.
It was one of our fav apps… Until about 10 secs ago… It had an update, so, naturally, we updated it. All good and fine, right? WRONG! It doesn't even open anymore! It crashed before the game even loads…! Fix it.
When you upgrade to 2.2, you need to delete it and reinstall it. Then it works fine.
This game has been great to kill some time between appointments or classes and been our favorite game so far! This is a definite steal! To answer iloveBONJOVI, if you press the little itallic we by the hints button it should take you to the options page were you can change to your own pictures and play with more numbers.
We love this game but it doesn't work if your ipod is upgraded with the 2.2 software :(.
That's maybe the best free game-app out there.
It is so much fun. But once we got the update it now crashes:(.
Please add: Timer Save Option for both the timer and puzzle Illuminate the edges of the puzzle (and make the light's color customizeable) it's hard to see the puzzle on the black background.
If you can't launch this app anymore. Delete it. Redownload it. Problem solved.
To troubled senior you have to delet it then install it again and it works by the way it's better then the first version because it keeps time for you.
We had to delete the app off our Ipod and redownload to get it to work however. We've tried other 15 puzzle apps and we like this one the best.
This game is one of our favorite games to play! It's free, get one.
This game is really easy and we can AMAZE our friends while doing this in about 25 seconds!!! Download it now!!! It's free.
A great game but can you add a 3X3 puzzle, so it's not so hard.
This app is worth more than free so how can anyone give it less than 5.
This is a really fun and addiciting app. It would be great if it could record and keep track of how fast you complete the puzzles. We would definitely recommend getting this app if you don't already have it.
Great way to spend a few idle minutes!!! Great design and functionality.
We've always loved this game @ the ii-phone version nails it.
We can't believe this application is free. It is so great we can't see how it could be improved in an update at all. We only wish we could give it 6 stars.
This is a well-done puzzle game … We can see it keeping us or our kids busy for a long time.
This is the thing we've been dreaming day and night of… Yet it can be better: 1.Will you add a timer? And a scoreboard keeping records. 2. Can we not only drag it but also tap it to make a move? Just like the one in Vista Sidebar :-) we love this game on any platform and now it's finally on iPhone – and totally free. We think it'll be better and better.
This game is nice all bc of the custom image that makes this game. Get it while it's free people.
The iPhone and iPod Touch are perfect for this game. Classic kids party toy from long ago. If you liked this as a child you will like it now. Nicely done.
We knew a dev was going to come out w/ a free game of this! Awesome.
Very cool. We love how you can use your own images! This is really fun to have in your phone – and kudos to a free app! :).
Good 15 puzzle game. We like how you can change the 15 tiles appearance. However, after every game, after the "winner" banner pops up, if you dont click new right then (and click info or something first) when you go back to the screen with the welcome banner, the bar at the bottom with the new button never pops up again. Its like it just disappears. To play a new game you have to clise and reopen the app. This glitch is quite inconvenient. Otherwise a good app. :).
We really like this puzzle but we are blind, do you think it is possible to make the voice over read it.
We love 15 puzzle our record is 0:09 but if you wish to leave the game to choose a new puzzle you can't. We would also like it to save records and other people are having problems that are worrying us. So please update and fix these minor bugs. Thank you.
Love this puzzle game. Scored a 5:55, too cool!! No problems with it on our old iPhone. Wish we could save scores!! Please add that.
It crashed once and won't open anymore. Please fix.
This one it by far the BEST fifteen puzzle there is!…..and best of all is FREE! The few pictures within the program are great, easy to choose your own Photos from your folders, and you can choose from a few different amount of tiles to play with. The only problem we had was the info button is a bit hard to get it to work but not a big deal. Thank you for this APP!!! A MUST HAVE.
So first you really need to have the timer start when you move the first tile. So this way you can look at the tiles and see where they are before the timer starts. Second you should have the timer stay up while you are solving the puzzle. There is no reason to make the timer go away so you can't see your time. 4 out of 5 stars but it could definitely be a 5 star game.
It needs to have or show the time bar with all the options available the whole time. We say this because it you are losing time when you wait for the bar to pop up so you can have a hint or to change puzzles.
This app is pretty cool.we were skeptical at first but after downloading we were happy we did. We really enjoy that you can use your pictures. Nice job.
Good sliding puzzle game app. We have only one small suggestion that could be easily added in an update. The custom image puzzle is great, but it would be awesome to be able to set it to randomly pick an image from a set image directory every time a new puzzle is started.
