Update December 2014: Revensburger Puzzle is now available for Android devices. We'll leave the debate about screens vs. cardboard out of this review; but if you're serious about screen-based jigsaw puzzles, this app may be worth a second look. This pay-as-you-go Jigsaw-puzzle delivery system comes with multiple challenge levels, mood music, tutorials and and plenty of offers to purchase additional puzzles. You have to be online in order to access your puzzles (www.ravensburger-digital.com). The catalog lists 150 puzzles, and all can be played in the original Ravensburger stamp version with 20 - 500 pieces. Features include the ability to play music from iTunes, or use the iOS Game Center to compare your scores with others. Playing the app does not require an internet connection, but you must be connected to the Internet to buy a puzzle.
