And, of course, There’s an app for that

By Kathy Dean

My sister Marge Tackes has a pretty hectic life right now managing rental homes and caring for our elderly mother. She doesn’t have the space to spread out a jigsaw puzzle in her home and she said the last time she worked on one, she developed a crick in her neck.

So, she’s found another way to do them — through jigsaw puzzle apps.

“I really thought it wouldn’t engage me and I’d hate it,” she said. “I tried three different apps. Two I didn’t care for; they didn’t let you see all the pieces at one time.”

Then she found Jigsaw Puzzle for her Kindle and

Mobility Ware Jigsaw Puzzle for her iPhone. She said it’s brought the jigsaw joy back to her. “It’s wonderful. I find it more relaxing than Angry Birds or Candy Crush. I’m pretty hooked.”
