## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2024-04-28*

As of latest iOS update, Shape Garden crashes, will not stay open. Great game, would love to play again. Will fix the rating if they fix the issue.

### 1/5 — Glooze Returns With A New Name

*2017-10-23*

A good game with an interesting slant on generative graphics. I’m a little disappointed that those of us who bought the theme packs for Glooze need to re-purchase them again. I feel that’s unfair and therefore a 1 star review. It will be interesting to hear what the developer has to say as Shape Garden hasn’t brought any apparent improvements or new functionality over that which came with Glooze.  In fact if you attempt to save an image the app crashes so really it’s a step backwards.

### 3/5 — Love it, but

*2025-11-14*

The game crashes at certain points and there isn’t a way to change the themes. Hopefully these issues can be fixed because it’s definitely an interesting game.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2021-04-12*

Good app, but when I’m wondering when you save the object to an image, it’s not a moving gif image, I’m wondering if that could be possible or you can make an update?

### 5/5 — Back in business

*2025-11-08*

Update: 
Just tried it again for the first time in quite a while. It works fine—yay!! It’s truly beautiful and fun, and I’m very happy to be playing it again!

### 5/5 — Focus...

*2025-05-14*

Shape Garden needs an update. It's unstable on IPhone 10....It force closes. Please fix! 
  I've been playing Shape Garden for over 5 years, and I think it really helps with focusing and grounding.  The shapes are random, and seemingly infinite. Every game is a different experience with many color themes. It's my favorite game and is the best  merge game I've ever played. It's so easy to play. It's great for kids too. It teaches cause and effect and shape recognition.  5 years, and nothing has come close to Shape Garden.

### 5/5 — Best shape merge game!

*2022-12-02*

Hours of fun. Infinite shapes. No two games are the same. I’ve been enjoying this game for years!

### 5/5 — Very grounding, very centering.

*2020-10-17, version 1.2*

I have had this game for about a year now.
I purchased the unlockable shape sets. This game is very soothing, no ads, no nonsense, just hours of shape merging, and tranquility. It's simplicity of play makes for a great distraction, and I find it goes great with your favorite soothing music. (I like to play Ravi Shankar's music in the background while playing, or even some thunderstorm sounds.)
  The shapes are very intricate, and interesting in movement. I also like that you can zoom in on a piece to see the highly detailed movements.
  It's like a "time-out box" for the restless mind. It's not even all too important to reach your best score.
 There are dozens of shape sets to play, and you can adjust the frequency of shape sets, thus you can control how frequently your favorite sets come up to play.
  Soothing, quiet, mellow, colorful, beautiful, intricate, pleasing, wondrous, relaxing, and worth every penny as far as the in-app purchases are concerned. 
  It's very therapeutic, and it is a great tool to use to distract from intrusive thoughts, or for a racing mind.  
  Thank you Devs for such a simple merge game that is anything but ...(visually)
  I feel this game works well  with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).  Shape  Garden "checks many DBT boxes" . 
  Works well for PTSD, ADHD, Depression and other things that cause stress. It's like a "stress ball for the mind!"

### 5/5 — All time favorite

*2019-09-21*

This is the game I turn to over and over again 😃 thanks for the hours of fun
