You can also convert your own store photos. I size all my puzzles to 324 pieces (the max) and it can be quite challenging, especially if you start imposing rules on yourself such as, "I'm going to work this one from the inside out." The only two downsides are that (1) there's not the additional challenge of having to rotate the play pieces—they're already all in the correct orientation, and (2) if you drop a puzzle piece anywhere on the board near to where it fits in the puzzle, it automatically clicks into place, whether you were ready for that piece to click in or not, which can leave you with immovable pieces sitting alone in the middle of the board. You quickly learn not to drop them on the board unless you're ready to fit them in.
Maybe a future upgrade will add the ability to rotate play pieces.
I am really enjoying this app and getting very little needed work done. |
Very nice app, thank you! I had thought about trying a jigsaw app but was a bit skeptical. But this one is very well thought out, and has lots of options to control the difficulty of the game. There is one to set the sensitivity of the magnetic thingie when you put a piece in its place, have you seen it? I am increasing the difficulty step by step. I doubt it will ever be as challenging as my hand made wood jigsaws, but it's a lot cheaper, and I can carry it around and choose my own images for the puzzle. Thanks for the recommendation.
