DigiSaw Puzzles app for iPhone and iPad

Do you like solving jigsaws but have exhausted all the good jigsaws out there?
Are you struggling to find quality jigsaws featuring good pictures at sensible prices?

DigiSaw Puzzles lets you turn any image in your photo library into a jigsaw puzzle that you can solve on your iPhone or iPad. Not only that you can also export your puzzle via email or messages at any stage... ever wanted one of those images of a jigsaw with one piece missing?

Like many during lockdown we turned to solving jigsaws as a way of passing the time but quickly found that we were struggling to find quality puzzles with illustrations or photos we wanted to solve. Several puzzles we bought had questionable piece quality and often the colour reproduction of the puzzle differed greatly from the picture on the box which was deeply frustrating. Solving jigsaws should not be a frustrating experience.

Borne out of frustration with the jigsaws available we developed this app so that we could have an endless supply of jigsaws featuring images that we love. 
While we love solving puzzles featuring photos we have taken of snow scenes, highland lochs and various holiday destinations solving puzzles that feature some of the most iconic photos of all time takes this to another level.

For example, solving puzzles based on some of Nasas best photos is literally out of this world. Apollo 17s view of Earth, the pillars of creation and the first footprint on the moon are just some of those you can import to your photo library and turn into a jigsaw using the DigiSaw app.

Many organisations such as Nasa permit individuals to use photos and other media for their own enjoyment without requiring any licence or attribution providing they are not used for commercial purposes.

DigiSaw Puzzles has a number of features that make solving puzzles on your iPhone or iPad feel natural.

Borrowing from the techniques that we use when solving traditional card jigsaws the app allows you to group pieces in various ways:

- Show only the corner pieces
- Show only the edge pieces
- Show only pieces that have 4 tabs
- Show only pieces that have 3 tabs
- Show only pieces that have 2 tabs
- Show only pieces that have 1 tab, we call this an ugly piece!
- Show only pieces that have no tabs

You can also re-order the pieces by simply tapping and holding the piece you want to move and then dragging it to a new location

Why invest your time in solving jigsaw puzzles?

Solving jigsaw puzzles is not just a fun way of passing the time. In addition to the enjoyment and sense of satisfaction you get from solving the puzzle it is widely accepted that solving jigsaws can be therapeutic offering a range of benefits including: improved problem solving skills, improved attention span, encourages left & right brain use, improved memory, improved attention span and meditative benefits.

Today’s New Idea is a “not for profit” business so all proceeds from the sale of this app go toward the development of other apps we hope users will find educational or beneficial.
