Picture Tile Slider – Entertainment Game Review
Picture Tile Slider is a Entertainment/Puzzle/Family game from CHRIS PAVLOU, first launched in 2nd August 2010.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 2,083+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Picture Tile Slider Stand Out
Picture Tile Slider is a really cool tile-sliding puzzle game, based on the 15-puzzle (or n-puzzle) game, with a ton of features. You'll love it!
This is the full version of the game and it is free and ad-supported. For the ad-free version, see "Picture Tile Slider Pro".
To solve the puzzle you arrange the tiles in number order, left to right then down. When you complete the puzzle you will be cheered on or applauded and have a chance to register your score.
FEATURES:
- Easy Tap-n-Slide. Just tap and tiles slide.
- Multi-Tile-Slide. Move more than one tile at a time.
- Auto-Save of the game progress.
- Auto-Pause of timer when game is closed/inactive.
- 4 puzzle layouts (3×3, 4×4, 5×5 and 6×6).
- Timer based score keeping for each layout.
- 2 second preview of solved puzzle.
- Use one of 70 sample HD pictures provided as the puzzle.
- Use pictures from your Photo Album as the puzzle.
- Take a picture with the Camera and use as the puzzle.
- Solvable-Puzzles-Only option.
- Show/Hide tile numbers.
- Save screenshots of solved puzzles.
- Tell-a-friend about the game from inside the game.
- Leave a review link inside the game for your convenience.
The puzzle is really fun to play and easy too – even a 6 year old can do it!
Turning off the Solvable-Puzzles-Only option makes it more challenging, because you don't know if the puzzle can be solved or not.
Turning off Tile numbers also makes it more challenging.
The game remembers the state of the game so if a call comes in you can answer it knowing that when you are done you can resume where you left off with the timer paused. Once you make a move the timer will resume.
The game also remembers which picture you were using no matter the source.
Please note that pictures you take with the camera from within the game to use as the puzzle are not saved in your Photo Album. Once you solve the puzzle you can save a screenshot of the puzzle itself.
This Entertainment game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Great for the mind and so addicting. Our son and we play the same puzzle and try to beat the # of moves. We downloaded before a flight and played the whole time Time flew by. Love it.
Ive played a lot and its exactly what a slide puzzle app should be.
We downloaded this game just a few days ago, and we can certainly say that we like the game. You could try to do a really fast 3×3, or try and figure out something bigger like 6×6, or anything in between. We like just playing the game for a few minutes to half an hour as something to pass the time. Thank you to anyone who took the time to read this, and we hope you enjoy the game if you decide to play it.
No bugs – satisfying – calm – easy – good for all ages – fun.
You can use your own pictures for creating new puzzles! How cool is that.
Im enjoying this app. Its challenging and fun at the same time.
So fun and the pictures are really cool.
Really well done app, allows you to move multiple tiles at once which is ideal, and allows you to upload your own images to use as puzzles.
Love this game. Nostalgic for us. However, there is a glitch. When playing the free game after advertisement you have to reopen the game to continue.
Im really enjoying learning how to play.
But we like it! Good variety of pics and its challenging.
Preparing for survivor. Please Jeff if you see this let us on. We can solve a 6×6 in 4 minutes.
Thats what makes this game fun.
Im going on the beach with our mom and dad and then we will come back to the hotel to watch the movie with our family at Disney! Im so excited.
So satisfying, definitely will recommend to a friend! However, add some aesthetic background well perfect the app.
We loved these puzzles growing up.
This puzzle brings back memories of our childhood. We had small hand held puzzle square with numbers 1-15. We sat for hours solving this puzzle and the variations , all even numbers in a row, the odd numbers ina row. Also reverse the numbers in order etc.
This app helps us calm anxiety and helps problem solve. It really helps with our overthinking. Its a very generous application and thank you to whoever created it.
This is our new favorite app when we want to relax but still use our brain.
We love how there are barely any ads, and just how simple the game is.
Great game. You can choose the size of the puzzle and the picture. Would be even better if you could upload your own picture and make them into puzzles.
We really like sliding puzzles, so it was nice to have an entire app dedicated to these types of puzzles. The movements are really smooth and we the selection of pictures for the puzzles is nice. One this we would add is more pictures, or the ability to add your own photos from your camera roll.
We downloaded this to learn how to do slide puzzles better and it has helped a ton! We love that there are 3 grid choices and different images to pick from. We also love that they dont throw a million ads in your face or ask for money to be able to play. It would be cool if they had a solve option to kinda show/teach but Im googling strategies and then practicing.
Slide puzzles are challenging and the app features and execution make it an enjoyable experience. We like the multiple pictures available and that we can make 3×3, 4×4, 5×5, and 6×6 puzzles from that same photo. We recommend it.
This is our favorite slide puzzle app. You can choose how many squares to use, it keeps track of your time and how many slides it took you to complete and our favorite part is you can choose photos from your cameras album.
Great picture slider Just wish there was a way you could remove adds by completing a certain amount of puzzles.
Great puzzle slide puzzle game. We just started slide puzzles. This app allows you to set the difficulty better than all of the others. We truly recommend this app. If you enjoy puzzles or mind games, give slide puzzles a try. This app is the best.
Fun puzzle game and you can customize your puzzle.
Great puzzle options and the ability to keep track of your best scores/ times.
Everything works well and is well designed and easy to use. Also, no hiccups when using your own pictures.
Ok so our parents has this game and we tried on there phone one time and we absolutely loved! We love how its every thing it says when you look in the explanations, for example in other game theres other stuff you didnt know about its in runner games mostly. So if you are thinking about buying this game you should get it!! Its an amazing hame especially if you like puzzles or just testing your intelligence! So last year is when we got the game and we were in gate ( Gifted and talented education) and we still am and playing this game made us understand the harder things in gate and Im going into fifth grade and Ill think Ill do great! THANK YOU SO MUCH WHOEVER MADE THIS YOUR AMAZING YOU SHOULD GET A RAISE.
Lots of tears since Ive done these.
We like that you can slide a whole row at once like you could a physical puzzle. Also that the squares dont change colors when put in the correct spot.
We love the ability to use your own pictures.
It has a timer so we can challenge our self.
A different sort of brain challenge.
Ive been unable to click the x on the ads. To move on to another puzzle, Ive had to close the app and start it again.
Wish it gave the option of fewest move high scores instead of fastest. But great game. Thank you for taking the suggestion! Too many ads now sadly. Stopped playing..
Its one of those apps that has an ad banner 100% of the time and also shows you unskippable full screen ads between screens. Other than that its a free slider puzzle app that works well.
To be honest it has adds each time you finish a puzzle so yeah. But after all the rest is good. The puzzles itself are fun and hard. We also love the fact that they keep youre record on the game. So we think they only need to work on is the adds. We love the way they put different puzzles though. And the way they get harder each time you finish a puzzle. So yeah. This was our experience of the game.
Need to update the algorithm to make sure all puzzles are solvable. Now that Ive learned how to solve these we can fly through them, but the remaining 3 blocks in the corner dont always allow you to complete the puzzle on this app, which indicates that there is no possible way to solve it. Still fun, but something that should be fixed.
Im fine with seeing advertisements but this game keeps showing us ads from a harmful organization with lots of misinformation.
It is so easy with the tile numbers on. For those who want challenge, just turn off the tile numbers in the setting. Then youll struggle it hahaha we love it so much.
Our 8 year old and we both are really enjoying this fun little game.
Fun game. Works well. No glitches. Ads are reasonable.
This game is lowkey cool, it helps us pass time.
They help us unwind after a long day of dealing with SKINNER.
Lets you use your own photos and you can play a variety of sizes. Paying a couple bucks for ad free was a great decision. Overall well made.
We usually dont find apps anymore that have a simple premise like this without some sort of flood of in-app purchases or forcing you into a subscription. Its just nice slide puzzles and you can remove the ads for as little as $0.99 but we honestly wish we woulda given more since theres not many good apps like this these days that arent tryna scam you out of every single penny.
We bought the ad free version for 99 cents.
