Two white rhombus would usually make a perfect 60 degree angle that would fit a triangle or blue rhombus perfectly. They do not, and this makes it very difficult to piece them together. It is very disappointing, given that you have to pay for this app. ### 3/5 — Good, but needs sharing or saving capabilities *2012-10-17* This is intuitive for virtually manipulating shapes. It would be better, however, if you we're able to print, email, or otherwise share creations. ### 3/5 — Colour *2012-08-31, version 2.0.0* It's nice n simple to use but the ability to change the colour of the shapes and resize would open up a whole new market - quilters and tile artists ### 4/5 — Great *2020-03-05* Awesome ### 4/5 — Shapes *2017-12-23, version 6.0.0* I think shapes is a pretty good app but I had not been on it for a long time so I did not know how to save it!!!😡😡😡😡😡AAAAARRRRGGGGHHH!!! ### 4/5 — Good fun *2013-03-22* The app is great fun but I only wish that you had the option to save the patterns made to the photo stream or to add an upload option for Facebook ### 4/5 — Fun for kids *2012-09-13* My 9 & 13 yr olds sat and played with the app for quite a while. While real pattern blocks are preferred this app will be a good addition for those times we are not at home, need to wait for a sibling, etc. Plus: while you might run out of space to place blocks you won't run out of your needed shape! Rotating the figures was a little frustrating and it will be interesting to see how the 5 yr old copes with that. ### 4/5 — I like this app..but... *2012-05-27* I get very frustrated trying to rotate pieces....I don't feel this is very responsive. There are times I would tap repeatedly and nothing would happen. I would like to see the ability to move the entire design ### 5/5 — So good *2026-01-04, version 6.0.1* Very good the best ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great job *2022-03-31, version 6.0.1* Does exactly what we needed it to do. ### 5/5 — Sdgscbsfsvmc ch. n *2021-02-17* Angeline ### 5/5 — No *2019-03-14, version 6.0.1* No no no no no no no no no no ### 5/5 — Amazing *2018-09-06, version 6.0.1* It’s fun I can overlap pieces I like that 🙂 ### 5/5 — Brilliant! *2018-08-09, version 6.0.1* Love this app! Perfect for working with my students and children to either play or learn. ### 5/5 — Color *2015-09-27* I want the pattern blocks to be the typical primary colors. I don't like that the new colors don't match what I have in my classroom. Could you give us the option to choose the primary colors or these new ones? **Developer response:** Thanks so much for your review and feedback. Pen colors are back to being primary colors. Thanks again, Brainingcamp. ### 5/5 — Truly Awesome Classroom Math app *2012-05-04, version 1.1* This is a truly wonderful app for using when teaching transformations. It puts math manipulatives at students' fingertips! My students are picking up translations, rotations and reflections very easily with this app. The support of the developer is also truly awesome! I asked for a square grid and here it is, only a couple of weeks later. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
