Piece Peace: Jigsaw Puzzle

Didn't load doesn't need a star

Pros: actual jigsaw shape pieces, 8 to choose from, 4 puzzle sizes, 6 categories of built in pics to choose from with plenty of pics in each category, or you can use your own photos & choice of timed or not timed game. The sound can be turned off by clicking a tiny speaker icon in the upper right corner which is difficult to see at first. Cons: the pic you are solving is the background with a grid over it which shows the placement of the pieces, this should be optional and can also cause its own contrast issues. Once you remove all the pieces from the play area, most of time the pieces blend in with the pic & the shape can't be discerned. The rotate button is too close to the menu button and the app has crashed a few times. Update: after using another jigsaw app, one thing I do appreciate about this one is the ability to have a place to put the pieces off of the play area. Perhaps having a choice of background; plain vs pic & grid vs no grid would do the trick??!!

Horrible app. Appears with a grid that essentially shows you where the puzzle pieces go. The puzzle begins by having the pieces piled on top of each other forcing you to unsort everything, but there's no room to do that. To change direction of the pieces, you have to go to a menu on the side every single time. Cartoonish icon design and piece shapes detract from the very nice photos in the gallery that comes with the app. Top it off with music that makes you want to tear your ears off and a timed option that couldn't be more irritating if you had planned it that way and you get the picture. Waste of money.

The puzzle pieces are extremely hard to grab, making each puzzle a trial and the timed option not an option. I find that even untimed tries at the lowest piece number setting are awfully frustrating. I really regret spending a dollar on this app.
