### 4/5 — Glad to see this game back

*2024-03-03, version 3.1*

I was so happy to see this game revived, I am waiting to see if the features from the before return. Please oh please reinstate the ability to turn off the numbers, to add new images, and choose the image you want to play would make me so so so happy, then it will be back to 5 stars!

Adding to this a year later, I used to spend so much time with this game in the original form, but with so few pictures this is no longer a real challenge, and I wish I could turn the numbers off! I realise you gave this away for free, I’d be willing to pay for an updated version with more features.

### 5/5 — Addictive

*2012-12-31, version 2.0.0*

I love the fact I can use my own pictures!  Still one of my favorites!

### 5/5 — Great fun, great for the brain

*2012-11-19, version 2.0.0*

I love that this game is mentally stimulating and I find it is perfect for study breaks. It has different ways to play with different difficulty levels so it's suitable no matter what mood you're in. Very user friendly.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2012-11-17, version 2.0.0*

Could not get through commute without it. They have thought of everything. I would buy this app again.

### 5/5 — Great app - many ways to play, fun features

*2012-11-05, version 2.0.0*

This app can be played over and over and never gets boring!

I like the Lite version but Full is better!  This full version includes four "modes", variations on the underlying tiles game.  (The Lite version is all one mode...fun, but just one piece of the Full version.)  My favorite is Surprise Mode - I've never seen anything like it!

There are also many included photos and background options.  The included photos work well as puzzles, and the in-app downloadable albums are great for getting more photos.  I like being able to use my own photos, which is not an option with the Lite version.  I also like the option to play the game with or without numbered tiles.  Without numbers, the game is similar to a jigsaw puzzle.

### 5/5 — From the developer

*2012-10-28, version 1.9.8*

5 stars because I love playing this game too!  Nightmare mode is especially fun because it adds a unique challenge to the classic 15-tiles puzzle.  Though sometimes I just want to just relax with Swap mode.

The developer (me) also supports this app enthusiastically.  No critical review here has ever contacted support to resolve their issue -- but those that do leave happy.  Finally, this app has seen 27 updates over the last 3 years, and there's about to be another to support iOS 6 and iPhone 5.

### 5/5 — Great slider puzzle just wish u could rotate pieces

*2012-08-10, version 1.9.8*

Best slider puzzle I've found so far but would be much better with an option to rotate the pieces and extend the challenge.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2012-07-27, version 1.9.8*

Very simple but very relaxing.    Downloading pics from your iPad is very easy.

### 5/5 — Saves tiles puzzle

*2012-07-23, version 1.9.8*

I love the puzzles.  But I hate swap modes. Just want to play. Also I bought the butterfly and bug puzzles ,played  for short time and now they are gone!  Ok ,if I bought them then where are they? Other tann that ,I love the puzzles and give them 5 stars

### 5/5 — Simultaneously fun and challenging!

*2012-06-17, version 1.9.8*

Dave's Tiles are simultaneously fun and challenging!  Between the variety of play modes, sizes of game boards and photo options, the possibilities to play are endless.  Best part…in app photo albums for the puzzles are amazing, and I can use my own photos, too.  One of the best game apps!

### 5/5 — VERY ENTERTAINING!

*2012-06-17, version 1.9.8*

I always find myself playing Daves Tiles on my iPhone. I love how I can use personal pictures in the puzzles, my kids love the point and drag feature, and all the other details that set this app apart from the others.  Great buy!!

### 4/5 — Review

*2012-06-08, version 1.9.8*

Very entertaining

### 5/5 — Hours of fun

*2012-05-13, version 1.9.5*

Love the ability to add own photos, enjoying the memories while challenging the brain. Also like the different modes to play and the ability to alter the difficulty depending on the mood!

### 5/5 — Instant favorite!

*2012-03-05, version 1.9.4*

I downloaded the lite version to try it out first, but after playing about three rounds I bought the whole thing!

### 5/5 — Saves tiles

*2012-02-07, version 1.9.4*

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Unhappy

*2012-10-24, version 1.9.8*

Bought the full version and am unhappy.  First it's the same 10 puzzles as the free version, I HATE the swap mode n can't figure out how to stop it.  Wonder what I paid money for as other than the stupid swap I can't see any advantage.  Would like my money back

### 1/5 — Not much to this

*2011-09-15, version 1.9.1*

I first played the lite then purchased the game.    You still only get the same photos.....waste of money.

### 1/5 — Dave's Tiles

*2011-07-11, version 1.9.1*

What a rip-off. Nothing different from the free Dave's Lite!

### 1/5 — USMC Retired

*2011-06-09, version 1.9.1*

Great time filler. Best feature is adding your own photos! Highly recommend the paid version for that feature alone! Awesome.....Thanks. I Give it a 5 Star!

### 1/5 — Other reviews must be his friends

*2011-04-16, version 1.8.2*

Boring!,

### 1/5 — Overpriced

*2011-03-15, version 1.8.1*

Not enough content for the price, should be free, completed in less than 2 hours. Waste of money.

### 2/5 — More pictures, please

*2013-09-08, version 2.0.0*

Love this game.  Would like some more pictures.

### 2/5 — My Photo's won't load

*2012-06-05, version 1.9.8*

Love the idea of this game but when I try and load my own photos the app locks up.  If this can be fixed ( on the full version), this will be a lot of fun and add A whole new dimension to taking photographs with my IPad.

### 3/5 — Forced to review app

*2012-12-31, version 2.0.0*

I really like the app but do not like the fact that I had to review it in order to keep playing it.

### 3/5 — Needs more pictures

*2012-04-25, version 1.9.4*

Like the app, but needs a library of pictures.  I know I can use my own but I know their content and orientation.... Like those few included with my purchase.   ... And every nickname I own on my iPad seems to be taken when submitting this review!!!!!!

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Please! 🥺

*2021-10-01, version 3.0*

I’m glad the game has been updated. I used to love playing the swap mode in this game. 

IMO, keeping the numbers on the tiles in swap mode takes away from the fun of figuring out the picture. I love swap mode because it’s easier, but having the numbers takes away the challenge. Please provide an option to remove them. 

Would also love the ability to use pics from my photo album.

### 5/5 — Nicely executed

*2015-02-13, version 2.0.0*

I bet I could play for hours. Wouldn't change a thing

### 5/5 — Dave's Tiles Puzzle

*2014-08-29, version 2.0.0*

The mini game jigsaw puzzle swap tiles that are in a lot of games in the app store that you wish was a separate game unto itself is what Dave's Tiles is and a whole lot more. I'm glad I bought it without trying the light version.

### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS APP!!!

*2014-03-16, version 2.0.0*

This is the best swapping picture app in the store. It can not get any better then, making your own puzzles, out of the people, or animals or things that you enjoy the most. Plus, with this great app, there is no limit to how many picture puzzles a person can have. This is a most app. You will not be disappointed, I am so glad I bought this.

### 5/5 — Mind Exercise

*2013-09-26, version 2.0.0*

I keep coming back to this app. I used up their pics and now use my own old less remembered pics mostly. Good for the brain and its fun to reveal the picture.

### 5/5 — Great fun

*2013-05-27, version 2.0.0*

Keeps me coming back

### 5/5 — Dave's title

*2013-04-26, version 2.0.0*

Love it.

### 5/5 — Entertaining!

*2013-04-05, version 2.0.0*

It is a cool app. If you need something entertaining on a long car or plane ride this a cool app. There isn't really a way to make it better. I like being able to use my own pictures.

### 5/5 — Dave's Tiles

*2013-02-09, version 2.0.0*

Love the fact that I can use my photos. Soooo much fun. Awesome app!!!!

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2013-01-03, version 2.0.0*

I have finally found a high quality photo puzzle game! It does not distort my photos and it maintains the quality of the pics too! I have found my new addiction! Challenging, fun and versatile!

This app is awesome!
