Community Insight:
This is a great game. The only flaw is the ads. But overall, get this game.
You can find the same with no ads.
This app still does not load the game screen on iPad, and you still cannot challenge friends, even though there is a badge for it. Poorly designed.
Fast fingers go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Its a fun puzzle and it makes you smarter. Its so much fun seeing if we can beat our best time.
We like the feel of the game. Tiles move with easy touch.
We think that 15 puzzle is a great game for all ages and really builds up their knowledge so they will do better in school or even as a grown adult.
Love the game, had plastic ones when a kid in the 50s.
We have tried other slide puzzles before and they don't slide as easy. We enjoy trying our beat our own time. What might make this even better is if they pieces had a picture and not just numbers.
The next update should include new completion patterns in addition to the classic arrangement, such as spirals or descending.
And your free to play reward is a very loud ad for another game.
Good game so we paid the in-app purchase for no ads. We still have ads at the top – it says more games. An ad for the developers games is still ads!!!! Dont say pay us money and there wont be any ads and the have ads.
We learned to solve the puzzle in 2 days. Our high score is 9 seconds you will never beat us haha!!! This is a really addictive game though and we love it.
We use this app to exhaust energy. It is very helpful when Im trying to concentrate on homework but we feel like we have to do something with our energy. Our fastest time is 19.7 sec but we dont know how people get like 2 secs. Definitely some cheats.
You have RUINED this game! It is no longer enjoyable to play. We cannot even effectively slide the tiles the way we have for the past 60 years (Yes, we started playing it way before the electronic version.) The only question we have is, WHY have you chosen to ruin a previously-enjoyable game? Please, please, answer our question. PS The only reason that we rated your new version 1-star out of 5 is because we didnt know how to rate it zero-stars! In other words, we think the new version is worth zero-stars; while the old version the version you presumably willfully ruined was worth 5-stars.
Old version was better – this version isnt as smooth and seems like the animations are discontinuous.
New version is terrible old version was absolutely great! Easy solution is to change it back.
We like the UI before and now it annoying as hell. It also reset our fastest time and we were below 7 seconds.
…if it aint broken! We love the old version. 5 stars. The tiles no longer slide. Unplayable now. 0 stars. What a disappointment. Why change it.
The only good thing about the new update is the reshuffle button. The creators changed the format to where it constantly doesnt register our taps. Its really annoying.
The old version worked just fine. In the new version, you cannot slide tiles like a traditional game (you have to tap single tiles, and cant move multiple tiles at once, which slows the game) and the ads! The previous version had no ads and was free. We understand the want to monetize the app for the developers work but, like we said, the previous version was just fine. One star.
It reminds us of the Slider that we had as a child. We wish there was a way tell how many times we played it. It's a great way to spend time. Maybe in the future, the color of the keys can be changed.
This so is a lot more challenging than we remembered as a kid playing the plastic version. Or maybe we just never finished one as a child.
We had this as a kid as a little plastic game. So much fun to play it as an adult in a more technical way that is always at your fingertips. Good mind challenging game.
Playing solo is a great pastime and you are constantly trying to beat your own time! Loved this as a kid, still do although now playing to keep our mind sharp.
We used to play this back in India when we were a kid. Loved to get it back.
Got good at this in an old video game now we're just trying to keep our time low nowadays.
We were glad to find this classic puzzle in a workable iPad game.
We had one of these as kid in plastic.
We CANT TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES IVE SWIPED AND ITS BROUGHT ME TO THE MAIN MENU.
We thought it was going to be were the 14 and the 15 were flipped.
Please remove the ads in the middle of a solve. It is extremely irritating. Other than that, we love the puzzle.
The game is fine, but we cant count how many times we have swiped a tile to the right and it takes us to the menu screen where we have to start all over. Super annoying.
This app is a good app, im just worried about why such a simple app needs 100 mb. Probably some viruses or so idk.
A few months ago we mentioned that a way to check how many times you've completed the puzzle would be great for frequent users of the app. We really would appreciate if this was added in an update. Then we would give it the full 5 stars. Until then, that is our only concern for the app. Please add this feature! We know this stat is kept somewhere, otherwise the achievement for completing 500 wouldn't be possible.
It will close out of nowhere! How frustrating! Deleting app.
Bad news if you don't want to join Game Center. App constantly prompts to log in even on paid version.
Way to many adds it's kinda glitchy be careful.
Cool, simple, brain training game.
This game is a lot fun. It really challenges the mind. We love challenges, that is what makes it fun.
Unlike some other implementations of the puzzle, this one has a very snappy and responsive user interface. There's no delay between you making the move and the app reflecting it. Also, the color palette allows for playing in the dark without frying your eyes.
This game keeps our mind stimulated! We love it.
An 8 tile option would help us improve our big game. Thanks.
It's hard to do but once you get the hang of it, you can do them in under a minute.
We like this game we will recommend if you want a challenge you're self.
It's awesome. Simple & great. And we're a fan! It's a fun, challenging game that we're addicted to as a brain workout.
Fun game. The challenges are a bit tough. Perhaps we're just bad at this.
Love the app. Just wish we could see the total number of games we've played.
We love the 15 puzzle app and this is just perfect it's an amazing app overall with a few miner bugs.
This game is fun. We're gonna try to play it with our friends.
