About

YapBoz

Read full description

YapBoz is a beautifully crafted sliding-tile puzzle for iPhone and iPad. Pick a frame, pick a picture, scramble the tiles, then slide them back into place to reveal the image. THE CLASSIC, REINVENTED The sliding puzzle — the "Game of Fifteen" — has entertained minds for generations. YapBoz keeps the simple, satisfying mechanic and pairs it with hand-illustrated artwork and reproductions of famous paintings, turning every solve into a small moment of discovery. PICK YOUR PUZZLE • Two shapes: square (3×3, 4×4, 5×5) and tall portrait (3×4, 4×5, 5×6). • Pictures range from playful — smiley faces, an elephant, a giraffe — to museum classics by Rousseau, Bruegel, Vermeer, Klimt, and Osman Hamdi Bey, plus meditative mandalas. • Frames range from a photographed vintage wooden puzzle to clean modern colors. • Mix and match any compatible frame and picture. NATURAL SLIDING Tap a tile and drag toward the empty slot — one tile slides, or a whole row or column moves together. Every scramble is guaranteed solvable. Reset shows the original picture instantly. QUIETLY SMART • Saves your in-progress puzzle so you can pick up exactly where you left off. • Three difficulty levels per shape. • Six languages: English, Türkçe, Deutsch, Español, Italiano, Français. • Universal — runs equally well on iPhone and iPad, in portrait or landscape. FAIR AND PRIVATE • A small banner ad and optional rewarded videos (used to preview locked frames and pictures) keep YapBoz free to play. • One in-app purchase — "Remove Ads" ($0.99, family-shareable) — hides the banner and unlocks every frame and picture without any further ads. • We don't track you. No App Tracking Transparency prompt, no IDFA, no cross-app advertising profile. All ad requests are non-personalized. YapBoz means "puzzle" in Turkish — the name is a small nod to where the project started, and to puzzle lovers everywhere. Slide. Solve. Discover.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Grid at none against YapBoz's 1. Grid also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). YapBoz's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 12 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
