Description
Join It is an app that lets players vividly experience assembling a jigsaw puzzle anywhere they can take their iPad. Absolutely natural piece control with a unique set of assembly gestures makes the on-screen game even more fun than on a real table!
Different difficulty levels make play suitable for all ages, with puzzle assembly remaining as comfortable at the most challenging levels as it is at the easiest.

Customer Reviews
GREAT APP
I love doing puzzles but hate buying them because when I'm done they just end up in a pile in the back of the closet. I've done some on the Internet & tried some apps, but they're just way too easy or impossible to do because the size of puzzle was too small. This app, however, is by far the best. You can choose how difficult you want it, change size of screen, & even change the puzzle pieces. There are tons of pictures to choose from--whether the person is a child or an adult. If I had one complaint, it would be to make the difficulty go beyond 300 pcs, as right now it goes from 4-300 pcs. I'd like to try one w/ 500-1000 if it's possible ; )
Great Game
This is a great little game to play while wasting a little time. It is mentally taxing, but quick and satisfying. Plus you can make it more difficult - or less so if you wish by making the pieces larger or smaller. Highly recommend both the free and paid versions.
Love this
Great for toddlers and older kids and even adults! Great that you can turn pictures you take into any size puzzle.
