free for apple download Relaxing Jigsaw Puzzles for Adults

Sometimes I will fill in half the puzzle and then finish up by sorting puzzle shapes and placing the pieces by shapes. Sometimes I will turn on the background and allow myself to cheat and place say, 6 pieces at random spots and then turn off the background and work to fill in around the pre-placed pieces. I like alternating between simple puzzles with few pieces(done in an hour) versus large XXL puzzles with 800 pieces (several days to finish). This game is better than competing games because 1) you can change the puzzle size and shapes 2) The puzzle piece storage containers where you can store similar colors is useful, 3) you can zoom in on the puzzle to make it bigger, for people like me with fading eyesight. This really helps with your color perception and color memory and is just plain fun.

In sum, download this jigsaw app and delete all the rest.You will want to move to the paid version as soon as possible to discontinue the commercial breaks and its only a couple bucks- totally worth it. Of course you can choose any number of pieces, and there are many modes I probably have not explored. The pieces lock into place, as in most apps, but the temporary highlighting as they do is very useful. The ability to change the color of the backdrop is useful to see various puzzle pieces better depending on color and light. And there are thousands, from artwork to abstract to anywhere you would want to visit, for instance landmarks, architecture, landscapes, country villages, natural wonders, and historical places, divided into a hundred or so categories. The absolute draw of this app to raise it well above all of the rest is that the photos are not only beautiful but also FREE. I found one app with “drawers’ for various projects, but that one fell by the wayside as the rest, as I kept this one, so I can’t tell you which it is. The storage of pieces could be better, as there is no extra space to work.

I’ll list its few deficiencies first: I have never found a puzzle app with interesting shapes and this one is no exception. That being said, no other app comes close to this one.
