So funktioniert's In jedem Rätsel muss genau eine Krone pro Zeile, pro Spalte und pro Farbregion platziert werden. Kronen dürfen sich dabei nicht berühren – auch nicht diagonal. Klingt einfach, fordert aber echtes logisches Denken. Funktionen - Vier Brettgrößen: 6×6, 8×8, 10×10 und 12×12 - Unbegrenzt viele Rätsel: Neue Rätsel werden im Hintergrund automatisch auf deinem Gerät erzeugt – du hast immer ein frisches zur Hand, ohne Wartezeit - Hauptmenü im neuen, dunklen Look: Brettgröße, Spielfigur, Ton und Statistik bequem an einem Ort - Auswählbares Symbol statt der Krone: Katze, Hund oder klassisch – wahlweise als Symbol oder als farbiges Bild - Intelligente Hinweis-Funktion mit echter Logik-Deduktion statt reinem Lösungsverrat: Zuerst nennt der Hinweis nur den Bereich, beim zweiten Tippen zeigt er die Felder samt Begründung - Sofortige Fehleranzeige bei falsch gesetzten Kronen - Statistik mit gelösten Rätseln, Fehlerfrei-Quote sowie aktueller und bester Serie – auch als Bild teilbar - Dezente Töne zum Setzen von Markierungen, jederzeit abschaltbar - Für iPhone und iPad (das iPad auch im Querformat) - Komplett kostenlos, ohne Werbung und ohne In-App-Käufe - Keine Internetverbindung nötig – alles läuft lokal auf deinem Gerät Privatsphäre Crownwise verarbeitet keinerlei Nutzerdaten, nutzt kein Tracking und keine Analyse-Dienste.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Crownwise at Free against Brainess's $0.99. Crownwise also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 63%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). Brainess's advantage is chart position (#57 vs unranked) and device support (4 vs 2). On ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
