Brain-bend on a 4×4. In Hard mode every block is also randomly rotated, so you solve for position AND orientation at the same time. FEATURES • Three grid sizes: 2×2, 3×3, 4×4 • Easy or Hard difficulty • Drag or tap controls — works the way you think • "Match helper" highlights every compatible number • Live timer and move counter • Best scores per (grid size × difficulty) GAME CENTER 12 leaderboards and 14 achievements.

Your time stops with you. DESIGNED FOR FOCUS Light or dark mode. No ads. No interruptions. Quartix is for the moments you want to think.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Quartix at 5.0 against RA Tracker's 4.5. Quartix also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (100% vs 85%). RA Tracker's advantage is ratings volume (53 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
