We bet we could play for hours. Wouldn't change a thing.
The mini game jigsaw puzzle swap tiles that are in a lot of games in the app store that you wish was a separate game unto itself is what Dave's Tiles is and a whole lot more. We're glad we bought it without trying the light version.
This is the best swapping picture app in the store. It can not get any better then, making your own puzzles, out of the people, or animals or things that you enjoy the most. Plus, with this great app, there is no limit to how many picture puzzles a person can have. This is a most app. You will not be disappointed, we are so glad we bought this.
We keep coming back to this app. We used up their pics and now use our own old less remembered pics mostly. Good for the brain and its fun to reveal the picture.
It is a cool app. If you need something entertaining on a long car or plane ride this a cool app. There isn't really a way to make it better. We like being able to use our own pictures.
Love the fact that we can use our photos. Soooo much fun. Awesome app.
We have finally found a high quality photo puzzle game! It does not distort our photos and it maintains the quality of the pics too! We have found our new addiction! Challenging, fun and versatile! This app is awesome.
We love the fact we can use our own pictures! Still one of our favorites.
Could not get through commute without it. They have thought of everything. We would buy this app again.
This app can be played over and over and never gets boring! We like the Lite version but Full is better! This full version includes four "modes", variations on the underlying tiles game. (The Lite version is all one mode…fun, but just one piece of the Full version.) our favorite is Surprise Mode – we've never seen anything like it! There are also many included photos and background options. The included photos work well as puzzles, and the in-app downloadable albums are great for getting more photos. We like being able to use our own photos, which is not an option with the Lite version. We also like the option to play the game with or without numbered tiles. Without numbers, the game is similar to a jigsaw puzzle.
We really like the app but do not like the fact that we had to review it in order to keep playing it.
Love this game. Would like some more pictures.
5 stars because we love playing this game too! Nightmare mode is especially fun because it adds a unique challenge to the classic 15-tiles puzzle. Though sometimes we just want to just relax with Swap mode. The developer (us) also supports this app enthusiastically. No critical review here has ever contacted support to resolve their issue — but those that do leave happy. Finally, this app has seen 27 updates over the last 3 years, and there's about to be another to support iOS 6 and iPhone 5.
We love the puzzles. But we hate swap modes. Just want to play. Also we bought the butterfly and bug puzzles ,played for short time and now they are gone! Ok ,if we bought them then where are they? Other tann that ,we love the puzzles and give them 5 stars.
Dave's Tiles are simultaneously fun and challenging! Between the variety of play modes, sizes of game boards and photo options, the possibilities to play are endless. Best partin app photo albums for the puzzles are amazing, and we can use our own photos, too. One of the best game apps.
We always find ourselves playing Daves Tiles on our iPhone. We love how we can use personal pictures in the puzzles, our kids love the point and drag feature, and all the other details that set this app apart from the others. Great buy.
Love the idea of this game but when we try and load our own photos the app locks up. If this can be fixed ( on the full version), this will be a lot of fun and add A whole new dimension to taking photographs with our IPad.
Bought the full version and am unhappy. First it's the same 10 puzzles as the free version, we HATE the swap mode n can't figure out how to stop it. Wonder what we paid money for as other than the stupid swap we can't see any advantage. Would like our money back.
We downloaded the lite version to try it out first, but after playing about three rounds we bought the whole thing.
We love Dave's tiles. It remains challenging and fun every time we use it. The pictures are great as well!! Download it.
Thanks mitchell,great puzzle always.
Like the app, but needs a library of pictures. We know we can use our own but we know their content and orientation…. Like those few included with our purchase. … And every nickname we own on our iPad seems to be taken when submitting this review.
Love the puzzles,Hate the # sequence and surprise sequences.
So disappointed. Both free and paid versions CRASH!!! UPDATE – after powering down, app is working – our bad!! Fun game.
We first played the lite then purchased the game. You still only get the same photos…..waste of money.
What a rip-off. Nothing different from the free Dave's Lite.
Great time filler. Best feature is adding your own photos! Highly recommend the paid version for that feature alone! Awesome…..Thanks. We Give it a 5 Star.
We really like everything about this game, bit our favorite part of this game is that you can use your own pictures. Really nice game.
We enjoy playing this app. This puzzle has many variations and options, and we can use our photos or downloadable photo albums. It's fun. It can be challenging at the same time.
It's challenging, we can use our own photos, play our own music and use either portrait or landscape.
Easy to use, fun to play, love the add your own photos feature, challenging but yet easy to play.
We love this game. It's challenging enough to be fun, but doesn't require the skills of a gaming addict to play it successfully. There's a lot of variety so we don't get bored. We like the swap mode, without numbers. Each game is fast, so it's good for killing time while you're waiting for somebody/something. You can go back and replay previous games and levels to try to improve your score.
Love option of adding our own photos. Had problem at first adding photos but support gave quick response and solved problem. Tap puzzles are the best and this one has a level for everyone.
Love the game, very entertaining but we would like more pictures to do and maybe more tiles in a game.
This is now a great game we had a problem but Dave talked with us and then updated the game now it is our best game we'll get any thing he puts out thanks Dave.
In our opinin we think this is one of the best apps in the market, very good. We'll give 5 stars.
Lots of fun. Highly recommend it.
Lots of fun! Especially like that we can use our own pictures.
We love this game it relaxes us every time we play, we uploaded our pictures and we can make our own puzzles. We are very pleased with this app.
We've been looking for a game like this for ages. Thank you! It's so much fun :).
We love Dave's Tile Puzzles. It's a great game that the entire family can enjoy. There's a level for all ages. Our kids love that they can add in their own pictures to solve. It's a fun, stable, puzzle solving app. Overall great deal.
We love this game very very much, it's so interesting. Most of all we like to play with unknown pictures, when you don't know what you'll see in the end. Us and our sister- we played it several hours. Ipad version is more intersting, than Iphone we suppose.
The game is quite addictive and plenty of choices as you can change pictures. Well thought out interface. Highly recommend this game ad a must have.
Great fun, quick and easy! Love it.
It's nice to concentrate for 1hour. After then you can do anything.
We totally adored this type of game as a kid. This version is so intuitive. And so much fun.
We used to play physical puzzle tile games just like this as a kid and loved them. So this brings back great childhood memories. We like the shape, texture and sound of the tiles and everything is done well in bringing this old game into the digital game world. The great thing about this is after you finish it, you can change the setting and play it again and again or with different photos and without the numbers for more challenge. So there is pretty good replay value and best of all it doesn't have to be stressful unlike other games where you have to beat the time or kill something or get killed. While there is a timer to keep track of how long it takes you to solve each game, it's just nice to be able to solve the puzzle at your own time and have fun doing so while your brain trys to understand and grasp the underlying principle about sliding the tiles in the limited one space. It's a simple but challenging enough puzzle game. We'd recommend it for kids and adults alike. Thanks for bringing this classic game back. And no, we're not related to the seller of the game. We really just like the game.
And amazing. We'd pay good money for this. Great job devs.
This is a really fun games! We love it.
Excellent puzzle, easy to navigate, fun to play.
