Tile Slider – Family Game Review
Tile Slider is a Family/Puzzle/Entertainment game from Geoff Hackworth, first launched in 8th November 2012.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 211+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Tile Slider Stand Out
Race against the clock to complete a sliding tile puzzle.
• Five difficulty levels/puzzle sizes, suitable for all ages and skill levels (larger sizes require an in-app purchase).
• Play with classic numbered tiles, or use images from your camera/photo library.
• For an extra challenge, enable the Flip Pieces setting so pieces can be flipped over.
• Turn off the timer for a more leisurely game!
• Play a 3×3 puzzle on Apple Watch.
Tile Slider is available for iOS and Mac. It is free to download and play 3×3 and 4×4 puzzles. A single in-app purchase unlocks 5×5, 6×6 and 7×7 puzzles on both platforms.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Really helpful app ! With excellent customer service! Thanks.
It is a really good game we really love it we recommend but we dont think it is for everyone but if you like sliders this is definitely for you it is kinda hard but it gets easier once you start to play it.
This app is great. Im as fan of The Challenge and fancy difficult puzzles seen on the show. This app allows us to create difficult slide puzzles off of graphics we or a friend makes. When the piece is in the correct spot it is highlighted. Which definitely helps, but it would be fun to increase difficulty by disabling that feature so your not sure whats right or wrong. Please add.
This is such a fun and puzzling game we think its great for kids and adults and the first time we played we had so much fun and our best score is 16 seconds. We think you should get it.
We loved this game growing up. You would think that by using a touch screen you can slide just as quickly as the real thing or faster. Unfortunately it takes a couple of swipes to move the tiles also you cant move a whole row which slows down the process even more. We gave it a 3 out of nostalgia but really it gets annoying having to swipe a couple of times in order for the tiles to move.
Just what we were looking for! We like that it has a nice, simple style and doesnt have any extra things that you dont need.
Very clean and straight forward. All the updates just continue to drive to make it as minimal as possible. Things like removing the ads or resetting the board is as easy as holding your finger on it till it resets for the next game. Great job keep it up.
Just like you want. Pay 0.99 and the ads go away and the options are there if you want them. Doesnt try to get cute, just gives you the good basic game and allows you to take challenges if you wish. Exactly what we wanted.
An old fashioned game in an iPhone. Great combo.
From all the tile sliders out there, this is by far our favorite. Very responsive in our Watch and looks great.
Simple fun and has many options. Well thought out.
This is a classic, but makes good use of the iPad's GUI interface. Enough options to challenge, but simple enough to learn without help. Just press anwhere in the puzzle to get started.
This app is a blast from the past. We remember games like this from our childhood. This is a fun, smooth working game that allows you to use your own pictures along with the classic number tiles. Found it by accident but very glad we did.
It's the best slide puzzle. But you should remove hard mode and crazy mode. It takes too long to play. You should also remove flip tile and fix the Game Center leader board…it is impossible to solve easy mode in 1 sec.
Hands down, wish we could say more… But its perfect. Smallest app on our phone, love it.
Really fun game! Not much more to say other then give it a try, and see if you can beat your personal best. Great way to kill time.
Works just like you'd expect, and we like how you can use a picture from your phone. The UI is a little drab to look at, but it works. The real thing that bothers us is that the only way to move pieces is by tapping and dragging the tiles far enough, then letting go. We're used to slider puzzels being usable simply by clicking, or in this case tapping. This works because the pieces can only move in one direction at any time. Since the only goal is to improve your time, we'd like to be able to do so with quick and accurate taps instead of rubbing the screen.
We can't stop playing this game, we got it to pass the time but now It's taking up most of it. Very easy to use and play, we can't find any problems with it. Absolutely fantastic.
We enjoy this app it's wonderful for passing the time and challenging our fianc. Thanks.
It's wonderful- to pass time with som intelligence.
