About

Razor Puzzle

Features
Read full description

Razor Puzzle is an image-assembly app similar to a jigsaw app. Jigsaw cuts are available but so are many other curvatures: straight or slanted sides, and simpler single, double or triple curves. A "random" option allows you to mix these kinds of cuts in a single puzzle and to customize the mix of choices. Puzzles can range in size from 8 to 320 pieces on iPads, 8 to 192 pieces on iPhones. The app also features an integration with some popular photo sharing sites, on which you can search a rich collection of puzzle images, with appropriate attribution to the photographers.
