### 2/5 — Annoying Glitches

*2014-12-31, version 1.4*

Even muted the sounds still play loudly and it doesn't always register pieces in the right spots.

### 2/5 — Damn ads

*2014-01-04, version 1.4*

The ads get in the way of the game and you can't see the entire puzzle. Delete.

### 1/5 — What a mess!

*2013-06-21, version 1.4*

I have a lot of gripes with this app., but the concept for the game and the graphic design are good. Here are my main complaints:

There is no difference between this app and the paid app when you install both on your device.  both icons are the same and the title text is the same.

The game doesn't rotate with the screen

The pieces don't click into the board so you have to jiggle the pieces until it tells you you've won.

The paid app is totally unusable. Do not buy, unless you don't mind winning without even placing a piece.

I wish the pieces could be rotated with multi-touch gestures.

Allow for users to create their own boards and submit them

### 1/5 — Not a good game

*2013-04-27, version 1.4*

BOOOOOOOOOOOO

### 2/5 — Tangram Free

*2013-03-20, version 1.4*

As already posted, students put one piece in the puzzle and they get a message they win.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2013-01-26, version 1.4*

Each time you touch a piece the screen says you win and doesn't let you finish. Definitely needs to be fixed please! My students love this app

### 1/5 — The broken update

*2013-01-08, version 1.4*

This app has been updating for five days and never finishes installing.  I can't delete it because its installing.  It's doomed to forever be in my update list and never be used again.

### 1/5 — broken

*2012-12-25, version 1.2*

this app is broken as you win just by touching the screen.  it needs fixed I used to really like this game

### 1/5 — Busted

*2012-12-23, version 1.2*

The game is broken as you "win" as soon as you touch it and doesn't appear like they are trying to fix it anytime soon. Don't waste your time.

### 1/5 — Not working!

*2012-12-21*

I just have to press a piece and it says I've completed the level. Been through 5 levels in 20 seconds...please fix!!

### 1/5 — Out of whack

*2012-12-17, version 1.2*

Busted app!

### 1/5 — not working

*2012-12-08, version 1.2*

For some reason, this app is not working correctly. Each time I move a piece it ends the puzzle. This is on an Ipad 2

### 1/5 — What?

*2012-11-30, version 1.2*

This game is waaaaaayyy too easy. As I'm sure you know, as soon as you touch the puzzle or move a piece it says you win. Please fix as soon as possible.

### 1/5 — Tangram

*2012-11-25, version 1.2*

The last update ruined it!!  Now if I touch a tile, it says congratulations and goes to a new puzzle.  Please, please fix it!  I thought it was great, now I will probably delete it.

### 1/5 — A little *too* easy?

*2012-11-19, version 1.2*

Place one piece anywhere on the board, get "you win!" Deleted in under 30 seconds.

### 1/5 — Game crashes immediately

*2012-11-17, version 1.2*

Game crashes immediately after placing first piece. It seems people have been complaining about this since at least September, which tells me that the developer is no longer actively supporting this product. It's really a shame because the product looks quite good. Apple should have some kind of quality control to disable or remove such products if the developer is no longer active.

### 1/5 — Omg!

*2012-10-15, version 1.2*

I have completed each level in 3 seconds each time when I have only just put down one piece!!! So do not download waste of all you time!!

### 1/5 — Noooooooooo

*2012-10-14, version 1.2*

I agree with every review so far. I will give this five stars when it is fixed.

*2017-11-15, version 1.4*

Doesn't let you play the freakin game

### 1/5 — Do not download

*2016-10-30, version 1.4*

Crashes instantly. Waste of space

### 1/5 — Started to crash when opened

*2016-08-02, version 1.4*

As soon as I opened, it crashed. My iPad is iOS 9.3 and the app has gotten no updates recently.

### 1/5 — Not Good

*2016-06-27, version 1.4*

Doesn't even fire up!

### 1/5 — Crashes on open

*2016-04-13, version 1.4*

Crashes as soon as I launch it.

### 1/5 — Free is still too expensive!

*2016-03-23, version 1.4*

Immediately crashes upon opening on an iPad Air 2 with iOS 9.2.1! 

Don't waste your time downloading this.

### 1/5 — Doesn't even load up

Rubbish don't even open to play waste of time

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2015-10-07, version 1.4*

*2015-02-05, version 1.4*

This dumb app won't let me turn the tang rams

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Nice

*2011-11-18, version 1.1*

I love tangrams and this app is just that, nice and simple!

### 5/5 — Addictive

*2011-01-03, version 1.0*

I love this game, I'm sooooo addicted, could play it all day x

### 4/5 — Fun and pretty

*2012-01-04, version 1.1*

Much more fun than real-life tangram because the game is so colorful and pretty! Takes a minute to get used to rotating the pieces but then it's quite intuitive. 4 stars because an ad covered part of one puzzle, making it impossible for me to solve because i couldn't see it. I will most likely buy the pay version eventually.

### 4/5 — Fun little app

*2011-03-29, version 1.0*

I agree pieces could snap into place. The rotation tool is a smidge tedious, but for free...I love it.  My kids really enjoy it too. I would recommend to someone looking for a puzzle game to pass the time.

### 4/5 — Great App!

*2010-11-19, version 0*

I really like this app. It is great for teaching spacial acuity. It would be better if the pieces didn't have to be EXACTLY in their places to solve the puzzle. Or if the pieces "snapped" into the shadow, Wherever they were placed, not just their "correct" position.

### 3/5 — Does what it is supposed to do but...

*2017-04-10, version 1.4*

Nice shapes and many forms to fill in, the interface is a bit sloppy and imprecise, and when completed you must have all pieces lined up exactly to be done. The pieces do not "lock" in place, a bit off line and the timer keeps going, you must fiddle with each piece until the game recognizes that you have finished.

I don't really like timed games, it would be nice to turn it off and have "relaxed" mode, what's the point of timing these exercises?

Basically not bad but not great either.

### 3/5 — Not quite there yet

*2011-08-21, version 1.1*

I am still looking for a user friendly tangram app to use with students. This is almost there but pieces don't completely cover the background or click into place which is confusing. I look forward to updates before purchasing the full version.

### 3/5 — Wish the pieces clicked into place

*2011-07-25, version 1.1*

But they don't, so it can be a little frustrating.

### 3/5 — Needs some tweaking....

*2010-12-03, version 0*

Fun, but does need some improvements. Pieces should snap in place even if they are not in their correct spot. It is no fun trying to move each piece a micron or two just to get the puzzle completed screen to come up. Also would be cool to vary the assortment of shapes and colors. You are on the right track with this tho...it's a relaxing game!

### 2/5 — app crashes

*2016-01-27, version 1.4*

We are using this on iPads in the classroom.  The app has started crashing as soon as we open it. An uninstall and reinstall through our MDM doesn’t work.  iPads are up to date with 9.2.1.
