Also One thing I would change is that all the levels are free and also you don’t have to play against someone at all times. Thanks for reading!! ### 3/5 — . *2017-11-11* Почему-то фигурки перетаскивать вверх тяжело, или нужна сноровка? ### 3/5 — It's ok *2016-01-01, version 1.0* Good ### 2/5 — Ads *2015-05-03, version 1.1.3* Lots of ads and a small space to play ### 4/5 — Keeps you hooked *2014-10-25, version 1.1.2* Awesome game ### 4/5 — Fun! *2014-07-06, version 1.0.2* This game is so much fun I can't stop playing it! ### 3/5 — Bug *2014-03-27, version 1.0.2* The game not opening going white screen please fix it ### 5/5 — Fun and educational *2014-03-25, version 1.0.2* Everyone in our family plays from the 3 year old to Adults. My 10 year old made it to level 39 the first day. Its quite fun! ### 2/5 — Ok *2014-03-14, version 1.0.2* I think it's ok. Its ok if your bored or need something to do. I had to keep playing level 10 over and over again until it would let me start again. Maybe put more levels on it so you don't have to update it. 😃😃 ### 4/5 — Good *2014-01-11, version 1.0.2* A bit too easy, but it is fun. Maybe could have a little harder levels. ### 4/5 — Fun game *2013-11-23, version 1.0.1* Fun game. My kids love it too. ### 4/5 — Great but... *2013-11-02, version 1.0.1* Both my daughter and myself really like this game but we would change two things: 1. Only completing one tangram instead of three 2. Not competing against another player, especially for my daughter, who is only 6. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2013-10-05, version 1.0* This is the best game ever I love how it is educational ### 4/5 — Good fun *2013-09-30, version 1.0* Stimulating and addictive ### 5/5 — Tangrams *2013-09-24, version 1.0* This is such a great and puzzling game I love this challenging game ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Sluggish almost uncontrollable on IOS 8.3 *2015-04-18, version 1.1.3* Not worth the frustrating effort of trying to get the pieces to move on I-Pad Air on IOS 8.3 Go back to the drawing board & try again. VERY POOR GAMEPLAY. ### 1/5 — Was ok now it's not working. *2014-09-23, version 1.0.2* This game was working fine and I paid for the upgrade. Now it's not working since I updated my iOS . Please fix or it'll be a waste of money. ### 1/5 — FIX IT>:( *2014-05-22, version 1.0.2* FIX THE RESTARTING PROBLEM NOW I AM MAD!!!!!! I MEAN IT!!!!!!!!(please do it I'm desperate) ### 1/5 — App doesn't want me to play :( *2014-04-06, version 1.0.2* Game play could be fun but app locks up repeatedly after level 5. Could just be me but definitely worth an FYI. ### 1/5 — Do not buy *2014-02-07, version 1.0.2* Very very buggy!!! Impossible to move the pieces around. Really frustrating to use! I want my money back. Very non user friendly. ### 1/5 — Honestly, probably the worst Tangram app. *2013-09-20, version 1.0* Gets stuck in landscape mode on opening, then freezes. Second time, prompts for a name but keyboard is landscape and app is portrait... And then the app gets stuck halfway up the screen, and won't scroll down. What? Games are ridiculously easy. You don't have to rotate any pieces. You play "against an opponent", by which I mean you can see someone else playing at the same time, but your score is based solely on how fast you complete the puzzle, not by how much time you beat your opponent. Takes forever to sync to server between games. Honestly, not sure how this app has four stars. ### 1/5 — ... *2013-09-12, version 1.0* Crap doesn't freakin work at all, would give 0 ### 1/5 — It's not working :-( *2013-09-05, version 1.0* I'm so bummed, I used to play tangrams as a kid and now I use them in my classroom. However I can't get the app to open it opens to a white screen and won't go any further. :-( ### 1/5 — Boring UI *2013-08-25, version 1.0* This game has a boring interface and not much fun stuff. ### 1/5 — Forced multiplayer on Internet :( *2013-08-03* I will be deleting this game and never buying a game from this developer again. From the description, it seemed that multiplayer was an merely an option, but not the only way to play the game. The competition stresses out my kids and you can't turn it off and just enjoy the puzzles. I feel misled. Be forewarned that this is not just a solitaire type game if that is more your thing. Off to look for some other tangram app that is just for learning with no forced competition. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Eye stuff *2024-09-12, version 1.10.3* I’m not doing this for fun just for Eye therapy ### 5/5 — Tansgrams *2023-01-03, version 1.6.3* Love it but when I click on pieces it doesn’t let me move them I ended up click like 3 or 4 times before I can move the pieces. Kinda a bummer when you are trying to win ### 5/5 — Pocket Tangrams *2019-10-24, version 1.6.3* I really enjoy this game and I have played it for years. It is good for cognitive skills. ### 5/5 — Pieces Hard to Move *2016-01-02, version 1.1.3* This would be a great game if I could easily move the pieces. I've used a stylus and touch. Sometimes have to try 10 or more times. Sometimes it never moves. ### 5/5 — Brain builder *2015-05-05, version 1.0* Great app that teases the mind while building it. Having fun seeing the spacial thoughts come to life as I sort the correct shape and size for each design. Fun fun fun! I honestly love this brain building game as my children assist in sorting it and they are only 2-7 years of age. AWESOME APP! ### 5/5 — Awesome!!! *2015-03-10, version 1.1.2* This worked great in a pinch for my daughter's homework!! ### 5/5 — Супер!! *2014-10-29* Я плакала когда удалила а потом не могла найти :(((, ОБОЖАЮ ЭТ ИГРУ. Только сделайте пж побольше бесплатных уровней :) ### 5/5 — Nostalgia *2014-10-07, version 1.1.2* I used to play this exact game, same music and all, as a child back when it was only on the computer offered internet. It's a sweet nostalgia to play on my phone after so many years. The background music has always been a good pick IMO with the meditative trance you never get sick of. Great quality, relevant ad selection, and sweet music. ### 5/5 — Tangrams *2014-05-18* Das Spiel tangrams ist cool und macht Spaß als ich es landete habe ich gedacht es ist beschtimmt langweilig aber Dan als ich Level 1 gespielt habe fände ich das voll cool ### 5/5 — Honestly *2014-04-26, version 1.0.2* Honestly this game is the best --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
