Features include: Epic genre-spanning campaign consisting of TWO HUNDRED hand-drawn puzzles! Make your own path through dozens of themed categories! There are hours and hours of gameplay to be had. Massive variety of movie puzzles Comedies, Romance, Science Fiction, Animation… there are even a couple of far out categories such as Video Game movies and Worst Movies Of All Time for a fun, extra challenge!

If you want to buy-in and unlock everything up front, you can do that too. Skipping levels is free, so complete each category in whatever order you like! There is also a hint system for when you're stuck on a particular movie. Daily Ticket Bonuses By (very) popular demand, we’re modifying the previous point to include one notification each day that gives you a daily boost to your tickets! But don’t worry, you can easily turn this off if for some reason you hate free money. Tickets allow you to redeem hints, making sure you’ll never be truly stuck for very long. Easy to learn, easy to use Every aspect of the game has been carefully designed with you in mind. Entering and deleting movie titles happens with an "it just works" attitude. Shake your phone to randomize the available letters. Oh, and *WE* have a backspace button. iPad support! Not only does this game support iPad, it may also be played in landscape for those with big tablets. If holding it upright is giving you strain, turn the game on its side!

Quintext is a free daily word puzzle. Each level is a 5x5 grid starting with some letters filled in. Your goal: complete the grid so all rows and columns make valid 5-letter words, crossword style. The words will be the same horizontally and vertically. Each puzzle has a unique solution. While playing, you see real-time feedback about which rows and columns have valid words or parts of words. If you get stuck, tap the buttons to reveal additional letters or show all dictionary words which fit in the current row or column. In addition to the free daily puzzles, a one-time in-app purchase unlocks a library of over 50k additional puzzles with a wide range of difficulty settings. These are available offline for the lifetime of the app and can be shared with other players who have unlocked the library. For colorblind players, this app responds to the system-wide Differentiate Without Color setting.

What's the Flick's advantage is ratings volume (132 vs 17) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
