## What is Astra Jigsaw HD?

Astra Jigsaw HD is a challenging jigsaw puzzle game including lots of jigsaws. 

For each puzzle you can choose seven different styles of pieces and smoothly change the number of pieces from 50 to 1600. In the most intricate style named Figure the pieces are shaped as animals, birds, fruits, toys, and other objects. 

To make a puzzle easier to play, add the picture frame. To make a puzzle more challenging, turn on rotation of pieces. 

To manage a vast number of pieces, you can use two playing windows. Use one window to make up a jigsaw and the other one to arrange or store pieces that you need not at the moment. 

Select a group of pieces to move or neatly arrange them at once. To examine small pieces, use the Magnifying Glass.

You can save an incomplete jigsaw and later restore it. Up to nine puzzles in work can be saved simultaneously.

In addition to one thousand ready-to-use jigsaws, a jigsaw making feature is available. You can create your own puzzles from the images stored in the local iPhoto gallery. Or you can use the built-in search in the world largest image store Flickr. The maker is unlocked after purchasing four jigsaw collections.

Ambient sounds of ocean waves, chirping birds or singing crickets will make the playing more relaxing.

You can save the solved jigsaw to iPhoto gallery.

### 5/5 — Magnificent!

*2026-07-26*

This is far and away the best collection of art in puzzle form. Plus it is a pleasure to play, easy to understand, enough variations in style of pieces. My favorites are Brueghel (thanks for having so many if these gems!) Turner and Van Gogh. So interesting to really see the paintings since you spend time with each tiny piece and notice more than you ordinarily would which opens you mind/eye to so many details…I play on my iPad, and my only wish is that it would be possible to see the full title of the art.

### 5/5 — Over 25 years and this is STILL THE BEST!!!!

*2026-06-20*

I have every single set, and have been playing for almost 30 years! This is the finest jigsaw puzzle ever. It has 2 working screens, ambient sound choices, resizing puzzle pieces, and it’s just intuitive. It’s so user friendly that it’s my go-to even with hundreds of games on my iPad. I LOVE Astra Jigsaw! And Lena the creator. She is the very best!!! She is quick to answer any questions too. ❤️❤️❤️Love you Lena!!!

### 5/5 — The Best by far!

*2026-02-25*

This is by far the best Jigsaw puzzle app!  It is my go-to for many reasons beyond the choice of available puzzles, the quality of the images and the ability to select the level of difficulty.  Also, Lena, the developer, is extremely helpful and accessible if I have questions after downloads of new IOS systems, etc.

### 5/5 — The best jigsaw game for iPad

*2026-02-19, version 1.36*

This is the most like doing a physical jigsaw. There are two windows, so you can sort the pieces on one and move them to the other to put together. This gives you more room to work on the puzzle in a realistic way. There are absolutely no ads taking up screen room. There are hundreds of puzzles and collections are a great low price, then you can add your own images after purchasing very few collections. With the different piece shape options and the ability to choose the number of pieces, you can set the difficulty level to match your mood. If you want you can have the pieces the right way up or you can have them randomly arranged and rotate them yourself. I have tried some of the other jigsaw games and none of them come close to this in enjoyment. Do yourself a favour and download it now.

### 5/5 — No Box

*2025-10-06*

I have been working Astra Jigsaw puzzles on my iPads for many years. They always work with every new iPad and  ios change. I have every set of puzzles Lena has created and repeat many while waiting for a new set to appear. This jigsaw program is by far the most thought out ingeniously created puzzle program taking into account everything one might need to effortlessly work an advanced digital puzzle without the physical pieces in a box. And No Box. The woman is a genius. Lena has thought of everything we would need to use that would help us create not just the puzzle but our own way of working with the pieces. And she has given it to us plus a hundred different puzzles in each set for less than 4 cents a puzzle. I always take my iPad with my puzzle program to occupy me on flights and I always have someone comment about it and ask me for a reference.  Awesome program. I plan on working these puzzles for the rest of my life.  Hopefully Lena will last that long. Thank you Lena, because of you I won’t ever be bored.

### 3/5 — Tray

*2025-10-04, version 1.35*

Wish it had a tray lost my modern shape puzzle

### 4/5 — Great app

*2025-07-20, version 1.35*

My favorite app on my iPad.  I love it before bed at night and on rainy days.  
Wish there were new ones more often.

### 5/5 — Best available

*2025-07-20, version 1.35*

Nothing better than this out there

### 5/5 — The best jigsaw app out there.

*2025-06-12*

I’ve had Astra Jigsaw on every iPad I’ve owned because it’s the best jigsaw app I’ve found. You get two playing surfaces, an unscramble feature (you have to select all the pieces first), pleasant background sounds, free and inexpensive puzzle packs, autosave, your choice of puzzle piece shape and rotation, and other handy features. A truly amazing app.

### 5/5 — Best app

*2025-06-08, version 1.35*

This is undoubtedly the best ever jigsaw app, my only problem is that when I bought my new iPad all the jigsaw collections I had bought had disappeared, is there anything I can do about this?
