### 2/5 — IOS5以降イメージ選択で落ちる

*2012-10-21*

サポートページも開かないし、もう更新はないのかな?

### 3/5 — I use it every day

*2012-09-15, version 0*

It's a nice pick-up-and-go pastime. I just can't set my own picture. The Camera roll won't scroll, and if I pick an image, it crashes.

### 3/5 — Not too shabby

*2012-09-14, version 0*

I like the simplicity of the interface as well as the puzzles in general; I wish it would record fastest times though. Also, the app crashes whenever I try to use a custom picture, please fix this!

### 2/5 — Meh

*2012-07-23, version 0*

Won't allow me to use a custom picture.

### 4/5 — good game

*2012-05-31, version 0*

good 15 puzzle game. i like how you can change the 15 tiles appearance. however, after every game, after the "winner" banner pops up, if you dont click new right then (and click info or something first) when you go back to the screen with the welcome banner, the bar at the bottom with the new button never pops up again. its like it just disappears. to play a new game you have to clise and reopen the app. this glitch is quite inconvenient.

otherwise a good app. :)

### 3/5 — iPhone4Sだとイメージ選択して落ちる

*2012-05-12*

なんとかならないかなぁ…

### 3/5 — Change a couple things...

*2012-01-15, version 0*

You should be have a "solve" button and the hints should be where to slide some of the puzzle pieces.

### 4/5 — Accessability

*2011-12-26, version 0*

I really like this puzzle but I am blind, do you think it is possible to make the voice over read it?

### 4/5 — How to call out the down side bar?

*2011-12-02, version 0*

Good, but how can I call out the bar (down)?

### 3/5 — Ok

*2011-11-11, version 0*

The app was great, but when I tried to do a custom image it crashed and would not open again😢😢😢😨

### 4/5 — Great game but...

*2011-09-02, version 0*

I love 15 puzzle my record is 0:09 but if you wish to leave the game to choose a new puzzle you can't. I would also like it to save records and other people are having problems that are worrying me. So please update and fix these minor bugs. Thank you.

### 4/5 — Addictive---really

*2011-07-28, version 0*

Love this puzzle game. Scored a 5:55, too cool!! No problems with it on my old iPhone. Wish we could save scores!! Please add that!

### 3/5 — Love it but...

*2011-06-02, version 0*

I lo e it but I would have given it a five star if it saved my times as I try to beat my own times.

### 3/5 — Good but

*2011-04-18, version 0*

Would get five stars if it saved your times

### 2/5 — Carino ma...

*2011-02-04, version 0*

Carino ma nn c'e la classifica cn i risultati!!!
Aggiornateeeeeeeee!!!

### 4/5 — Crashed

*2011-01-10, version 0*

It crashed once and won't open anymore.  Please fix!!!

### 2/5 — Good but not great

*2010-07-24, version 0*

The app is really good. But sometimes you can move two onto the same space and then you have two holes. And in the rectangle you can glitch the tiles right out of the game. It's fun to do but after a while it gets really annoying. There's better 15 puzzle apps

### 3/5 — Really fun.

*2010-07-12, version 0*

This app is a lot if fun. The only problem is when I choose a picture from my pics it is always upside down.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — many bugs

*2014-09-14*

ゲーム進行の妨げになる基本的なバグが沢山あるのは残念

### 1/5 — Can't use custom pictures.... Lame

*2012-09-23, version 0*

Whenever you try to pick a custom picture it crashes.

### 1/5 — Doesn't download

*2012-04-07, version 0*

This app will finish installing, then disappear. Once it's completely installed, it deletes itself, but then won't let you repurchase the app. I tried multiple times, but it DOESN'T WORK.

### 1/5 — しまった

*2010-06-20*

無料だったけど変なもの落としちゃった。

### 1/5 — Guess it's not just me...

*2009-08-20, version 0*

This app suddenly stopped working on my iPod Touch. I reinstalled it, but, still the problem exists. I see from the comments here that I'm not alone. I hope they can figure out whatever glitch caused it to fail. It was a fun app.

### 1/5 — Won't open at all

*2009-05-12, version 0*

A few others have commented the same; but it won't open at all. I will keep in my app folder on I-Tune but removing it from phone for now

### 1/5 — Problema

*2009-04-01, version 0*

Il gioco fa andare in tilt IPhon. Bocciato

### 1/5 — Fun but buggy...

*2009-02-16, version 0*

Deleted it after only a couple puzzles... You can only access the options at the beginning and then have to close and reopen to change them... I love the 15 puzzles and hope that the bugs are worked our of this... Could easily be a five star app if it ran properly.

### 1/5 — Crashs & Wont Start

*2009-01-08, version 0*

Program will not load or start. Crashs! Restarting phone does not help. What a dud!

### 1/5 — disappeared

*2008-12-22*

New thing is that it will not open at all anymore - i have deleted and re-installed, (several times) but nothing comes up - nothing happens - i am going to keep it for a while to see if there is an update to fix issues. when it did work - it was fun - but you cannot solve your own pics- and as someone said it re-sets every time you close it.
this needs some updates!!!!

### 5/5 — Yes

*2026-07-31*

Absolutely yes

### 5/5 — This app works on IOS 2.0

*2026-07-22, version 0*

This is crazy how this is still up and it's a pretty big deal for legacy iOS devices! r/Legacyjailbreak

### 5/5 — Miss this app

*2025-10-20*

This was the perfect 15 puzzle app back in the day. I wish the developers would update it for modern iOS so that I could play it again.

### 5/5 — Aggiornate!!!!!!!!

*2017-09-12, version 0*

Vi prego, aggiornate quest'app!! È la migliore per questo gioco e senza aggiornamento morirà con l'arrivo di iOS 11!

### 5/5 — Cool

*2011-06-16, version 0*

Under-rated game. It by far has the best options for a 15-puzzle game. 
I complete the 4x4 ones in 30 seconds now.

### 5/5 — Muy divertido

*2011-05-06, version 0*

Es lo q es un rompecabezas de toda la vida q le puedes añadir fotos

### 5/5 — Simple, el mejor

*2010-10-23, version 0*

Es una de las mejores apps, te entretiene cuando no tienes nada que hacer como pvz; mi mejor record en el puzzle mas dificil con numeros(53 piezas) es de 15 minutos, cual sera el tuyo?

### 5/5 — Hey

*2010-07-04, version 0*

Hey I love this game my record is 00:12:32 seconds!!! I wonder if that's a world record

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2010-06-03, version 0*

I love it! You can also use any picture in your album!

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2010-05-10, version 0*
