What’s the point?! ### 5/5 — Tangram! *2024-01-27, version 1.3.321* Nice upgrade. You can see through the shapes to be sure you have the right piece. You can move and rotate pieces. ### 5/5 — Treino e distração da mente *2021-01-24, version 1.3.321* Muito bem feito ### 5/5 — Loving it *2020-07-25, version 1.3.321* I like this brand new Chinese app because it tells me how to make a Tangram Puzzles and I really like it ### 4/5 — Tangram! *2019-10-08, version 1.3.321* Excellent game but I miss being to flip the parallelogram. ### 5/5 — Still a challenge *2019-09-03, version 1.3.321* Still a challenge and fun even after completing the game several times through. Well done! ### 5/5 — Tangram *2019-04-10, version 1.3.321* Muito bom ### 1/5 — Imágen de referencia no visible *2019-01-06, version 1.3.321* Hola, La aplicación es buenísima, sin embargo, no es compatible al menos con el iPhone XS Max, puesto a que la figura de referencia superior no es visible por causa del notch del teléfono. ### 4/5 — Great challenge, still needs some tweaks *2019-01-04, version 1.3.321* The challenge of the puzzles is far greater than the original game. However, the shape selection/rotation is quirky, and the swipe up feature catches too often, especially when trying to select a shape from below. Also, I find that particularly in the puzzles where there’s slight incongruence of shapes, the auto-detector doesn’t identify a solved puzzle. Frustrating when I know I’ve solved it. I’m addicted, however. ## Frequently asked questions about tangram! seven boards of skill ### What is Tangram!? Tangram! is a digital interpretation of an ancient Chinese puzzle game.
