Other than that, it’s a great game! ### 4/5 — Screen won’t browse on main map *2023-08-01* I’ve uninstalled the game and reinstalled yet I cannot fathom as to why the games main page to choose what puzzles to do has stopped working, can’t scroll around the map it stays in one spot, please help me ### 4/5 — Good but… *2023-04-06, version 4.0.0* Hard to place back the pecices so could you make that eiseier? I love your games a lot! ### 4/5 — Greater than the reboot *2023-01-14, version 4.0.0* This game did not need a reboot, this was more challenging than the reboot which I like and I just don’t get how you mess up this bad but good game 8/10. ### 2/5 — This is not working *2022-11-21* So I downloaded the app then I cleared the Osmo world app but it said I didn’t have the game but I actually did have the game please fix this if you have a answer please reply thank you Osmo edit:please fix this whoever made the Osmo games because I actually have the app and it’s not letting me access the Tangram world on Osmo world hello it’s me again it’s still not working so I’m just waiting and waiting for it to work but I go to this app go to Osmo world app and it still says I don’t have it! I just wanna do this world on Osmo world but I can’t! IF THIS WAS YOUR FAULT FIX IT NOW❤️‍🔥! I HATE THAT I CANNOT PLAY THIS WORLD ANYMORE❤️‍🔥! IF THIS WAS YOUR INTENTION GO TO HECK😡! ### 4/5 — Great game for younger kids *2022-06-03* This game is excellent all around but I feel that as kids reach fourth and fifth grade the game becomes easy and boring for them. It would be excellent if there was like an advanced stage at the home screen what are you just click like advanced and it brings you in to a really hard mode for older kids. But for younger kids it is awesome. My buddies really like going into the tower and trying to conquer the different stages easy medium and hard. Overall it’s a great game. ### 4/5 — This game makes my children go crazy! *2021-09-27* My kids always come to me and ask, can we play Tangram? They just love it so much! Every time they go on it they make me come back with the most lovely shape! I gave it 4 because it costs gems 💎 like 4 or 5 to have a hint,but it is a crazy 😝 good game! Especially since they can see my children’s shape and not my children for safety. Osmo also help with maths and is manly for kids to learn, but Tangram mad them get rewards and little figurines. It is awesome! And I totally recommend it,it is brilliant. ### 1/5 — 7 apps that don’t work. *2021-08-21, version 3.0.0* All 7 apps I have from this developer go from the camera prompt to the sound prompt everything works until the game tries to load it freezes… on every single Osmo application. Fix your apps. ### 3/5 — Amazing app but...... *2021-08-12, version 3.0.0* It’s good but MY IPAD DOES NOT ENOUGH ROOM! please make the size of ALL the osmo apps smaller. Ty ### 2/5 — Bad *2021-05-22* Tried to practise for a maths competition for my son, and we needed physical tanagram pieces, which I think is ridiculous. ### 1/5 — I thaght it would be good but no!,,,,, *2021-04-08* I thought that my daughter would like the scheme of screen time but as she was doing and get the Camera didn’t even work and she started watching stupid videos again instead of this phone app that doesn’t even let her continue if someone else has the same issue please comment or something so we could solve that issue together meanwhile my daughter is oh sorry that was my bad I had to run and help my dog she was trapped so I was like I was saying this app is terrible please fix it ### 2/5 — Worst game ever *2021-02-10* This game is so horrible me and my child is the game because it will not pick up anything this app has not taught my daughter anything she is so hurt and destroy about how bad this game is this game is so unbelievably bad I had to delete it and re-get it because I thought it was broken this game is so horrible if you were thinking of getting this for your child do not I’m so mad and so angry that me and my child could not play this game ### 2/5 — Glitchy *2021-01-17, version 2.8.3* When I play this game it always glitches and shows me the same pieces in two different places ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Update! *2025-08-25* Unless I’m missing something there are no new updates for the newer iPads. Please fix this because I would still really love to use these games. ### 1/5 — 👎 *2025-04-15, version 4.0.3* I played this game for 5-6 years I used to like it but now I ÐØŅŤ¡!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Won’t support a phone 1 year older than the game *2025-01-07, version 4.0.3* My iPhone is 2 years old. This game is 1 year old and it won’t support my iPhone with the latest iOS. ### 1/5 — Scam! $$ on materials that can’t be used *2024-11-20, version 4.0.3* Not functioning ### 1/5 — Stays Stuck on Loading… *2024-01-29, version 4.0.3* Used to be a nice App but now just stays stuck on “Loading…” animation. Very disappointing ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-01-10, version 4.0.3* I tried this with my iPhone and the reflector and it doesn’t work. Huge frustration. Also doesn’t work with a lot of fire tablets. Do not recommend and I’m usually not one to leave bad reviews. ### 1/5 — Badly programmed, developers should be ashamed and quit *2023-11-24* I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max with iOS 17.1.1. The store says it is compatible, but when you start it, it says no and redirects to the list of compatible models. The whole iOS platform lets you target which phones you want to support. If you really don’t want to support this phone, then don’t make it available in the store for this model. Failing such a basic step in making an iOS app is crazy. ### 1/5 — Worst game ever! *2022-12-10* First so like your trying to do the puzzle yourself and a piece of puzzle just shows up😡!Like also if your really good at the game there is no advanced levels for you so now you have to redo the whole entire process!😠Other thing is so your really really bad at the game it gives you so many hints but you wanna try to do it your self also about this is there is nothing that you can do to make it easier to play the game.😒Finally is that some times you don’t have the right lighting and you got the puzzle correct it doesn’t do anything like your waiting for it to complete but it never does! ### 1/5 — Worst game for children ever *2022-11-16, version 3.1.6* My child tried to use it and it did not work If you’d like to try it you can but I don’t think it will work for you I’ll try to get a battery view but if it is not working again I will never use this app for my child again ### 1/5 — It’s very insensitive *2021-09-30, version 3.0.0* The game is designed with very insensitive visual capture. Even as parent, I did exactly the same, the imagine can not be captured by the game. It keeps on asking you moving back and forth, and brings lots of frustration. Considering the price, it is really a useless game. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Yes 👍 *2024-09-28* Since I first downloaded this game I have been using it for a long time and I have never seen any Bugs that were squished. Owla is really helpful to this app ### 5/5 — really great game!!!!!!!! *2023-12-03, version 4.0.0* This game was really fun!!!!
