Jigsaw Wild: The wildest jigsaw fun in the app store.

To start, this is actually a review of two apps; Jigsaw WIld and Aqua Jigsaw. This is because they have the same interface and concepts just different jigsaw puzzles. They’re 50 to 100 puzzles in each app giving lots of value in a single app. You can also make a jigsaw automatically from your photo album. If you’re a jigsaw puzzle fan then I doubt you’ll get bored of this app. That isn’t to say there isn’t room for improvement (look at our ‘Further Improvements’ section).

As for a challenge though, the maximum amount of pieces in a puzzle is 24.  The pieces are all in the correct orientation, there’s no rotating for an extra challenge.  Despite the large amount of puzzles this app is a pretty bare-bones jigsaw puzzle app; it’s missing some extra features that would make it a truly amazing app.  It’s missing some features that would save the user a lot of annoyance (just checkout our Further Improvements section at the bottom of the review).

The user interface is basic but it’s not like there’s much to put into a jigsaw puzzle app.  It’s friendly enough and easy to navigate, all we need to ask for.  Most of the pictures they have to solve are beautiful and high quality.  Wrap up, if you’re looking for a simple jigsaw puzzle app with lots of puzzles and a fair price, look no further.  If you’re not a fan of jigsaw puzzles, or want something heavy duty packed with features, stay away.
