How does this work?
Clicking the “Test drive now” button launches a copy of this app on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), a web service that provides on-demand compute capacity in the cloud for developers. When you interact with the simulated phone using your mouse and keyboard, we send those inputs over the Internet to the app running on Amazon EC2 — just like your mobile device would send a finger tap to the app. Our servers then send the video and audio output from the app back to your computer. All this happens in real time, allowing you to explore the features of the app as if it were running on your mobile device.
Test Drive TroubleshootingFollow the steps below to Test Drive this app in Chrome. These steps will disable the version of Flash included with Chrome and run Test Drive in a separate version of Flash.

Would you like to give feedback on images? |


Admit it, you're a puzzle freak. You like nothing better than to take a jumble of small images--or odd-shaped cardboard pieces, if you're really old school--and produce a complete picture suitable for framing. Spectrum Puzzles for Android understands.
This is not your grandmother's puzzle app (if indeed, your grandmother even has a smartphone). Spectrum features a wide variety of cool features. The basic object is to unscramble images by sliding pieces around the screen. The app comes preloaded with nearly 50 vibrant, high-quality images to put together. These images cover the "spectrum" from still-life photos and nature shots to buildings and machines.
An interesting aspect of this app is that the puzzles are presented in order from easiest to most difficult. The first few will be child's play, but you'll probably be muttering to yourself as you gradually unlock and tackle the tougher ones. You can, however, choose four different sizes for each puzzle, ranging from 12 to 48 pieces. In addition to being able to pick the size of the puzzle, there are three difficulty settings: Easy, Medium, and Hard. These determine whether or not the pieces lock into place when you put them in the right spot, or if they show colored borders to make it even easier to place them. In this way, you can make it easier or harder on yourself.
The images included in the app are great, but it's a lot more fun to use your own photos from your phone. Snap or select a picture of your friends or an interesting object, import it into the app, and boom--you've got a unique puzzle to complete. Therefore, the number of puzzles you can tackle in this app is unlimited.
Other helpful features in the app are Reminders (so you can refresh your memory of what the final image looks like), Pause, Restart (reset and start over), and the ability to save your puzzle and come back later. Of course, you'll get so hooked on Spectrum that you'll probably never use this feature. Must. Finish. Puzzle!
In addition to progressing through the increasingly difficult puzzles, you can set personal marks for how long each puzzle takes you and how many moves you need to solve it. These stats are tracked for each size puzzle, so you can actually set eight different records for each one. That's nearly 400 total records to set, so you'd better download Spectrum and get going, pronto. And expansion packs available from the Amazon Appstore contain even more challenges that'll guarantee your puzzling pleasure for some time to come!
