Seattle Founder Institute grad, Puzzazz was featured in Geekwire today with the debut of their new app for trying, buying and solving digital puzzle books on Apple iOS devices. The app includes their unique handwriting recognition technology, TouchWrite, that allows users to solve puzzles by writing in characters with their finger on touch screen devices. Originally producing games solely for Kindle, Puzzazz games and puzzles are now available for use on iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.

The app itself is free and puzzlebooks range from 99 cents to $4.99, with the ability to solve at least one of the puzzles in each book before buying. So far there are 29 books available from 17 authors, and with more to be added regularly, this app is a sure fire way to beat boredom while stimulating the brain (seriously, give Angry Birds a rest already).  

Founder, Roy Leban, is a Graduate of the Seattle Founder Institute and will be acting as a mentor for the upcoming Autumn 2012 Session. If you or someone you know could benefit from expert training and feedback to launch a technology startup in Seattle, then click here to apply today. The deadline for early applications is September 30th.

Read the full story here and be sure to check out the video below to see the app in action.
