And for hints how about each puzzle you get 3 hints because I get so frustrated and mad when I can’t figure out where a piece goes. ### 4/5 — Puzzle 599 is flawed *2019-04-25, version 3.3.43* Hi, like the game, but just wanted to let you know that the template for puzzle 599 is flawed. It should show two small triangle cut outs, the one at the bottom (as it’s shown), and one in the upper left hand corner, instead of just the one. If you put the pieces together leaving both cut outs the game considers it solved and then shows how the template should be. There’s clearly not enough pieces to solve it as it shown during game play. If you just play it you’ll see what I’m talking about. ### 2/5 — I *2019-02-02, version 3.3.43* Like the game, but, why does it block the music, or news program I am listening to?? I am going to get rid of it unless I get a good answer ### 2/5 — Might be good for the brain *2018-12-07, version 3.3.43* It might be good for the brain but moving the pieces into position - rotating etc. is too difficult. Not worth the frustration. ### 4/5 — But... *2018-08-17, version 3.3.43* Great game I luv it who wouldn't ? But I wish thare was a hint button some are Relly hard,poo😞 ### 3/5 — Same puzzles *2017-12-22, version 3.2.81* Great game, however, the levels don't get more difficult and the same puzzles are recycled. You end up doing them again without realizing and then you feel betrayed ### 4/5 — Tangrams lover *2017-11-19, version 3.2.81* I love this App. Have some of the best feature I've played on. The game is addicting. ### 5/5 — Love these played since a child. *2017-09-26, version 3.2.81* I ant lawn sized ones. ### 5/5 — Great *2017-07-13, version 3.2.81* Really enjoy how relaxing this game is ### 2/5 — Good but UGH *2017-05-13, version 3.2.81* Game is too hard becuz there isn't enough pieces but good idea ### 5/5 — Great app! *2017-03-26, version 3.2.81* Played it for a few weeks. It works great! I've been able to compete all of the puzzles ### 2/5 — Nice tangram game, but... *2017-03-19, version 3.2.81* Only a handful of puzzles are available. To get access to more, you're asked to sign up to beta-test a new tangram app. ### 2/5 — Fun but... *2017-03-06, version 3.2.81* ...pieces disappear with every move. You have to tap the screen to get your remaining pieces to show. Highly annoying esp if you might move the wrong piece. ### 5/5 — Addicting *2017-03-04, version 3.2.81* I was thrilled to find Tangram! because I really love the snap-to feature that makes it easy to place the pieces into the places where I want them to go. I used to play another tangram game—a Zen like game—and liked it a lot. EXCEPT, it was often difficult to get the pieces precisely placed without overlapping or without sitting j-u-s-t outside of the edges. Especially since my fingers shake a little bit. I had considered contacting the company to suggest they add a snap-to feature. But then I found Tangram! and now I'm happy! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No music. *2019-02-10, version 3.3.43* It’s insane you can’t listen to music while playing this app. ### 1/5 — Not worth the time. *2018-02-22, version 3.3.43* Could not get the pieces to move correctly. Many didn't fit in the puzzle. No directions. ### 1/5 — Eh *2017-09-04, version 3.2.81* I love this game but it won't let me listen to YouTube RED or Google play music while I play. It's a huge deterrent. ### 1/5 — Rip Off *2015-12-30, version 3.2.81* You have to pay for all your pieces. They don't even have a first level trial. You have to pay or don't play. ### 1/5 — In app purchases *2015-09-07, version 3.2.4* I bought this app while I had another phone and bought all the in store purchases. Once I change my phone I lost all the in app purchase. I'm not going to re-buy all the levels again because of this I will never get this app again. This is sad for me cause I played this app all the time. Over and over again. ### 1/5 — Doesn't even work! *2015-01-18, version 3.1.51* I installed the app, tried to open it about 14 times, and each time it crashed on the loading screen. ### 1/5 — Pants! *2012-02-10, version 2.5.1* Only worked for 5 mins, takes me back to homepage when i load it up. Dont bother ### 1/5 — Have to write a review *2012-01-02, version 2.4.0* Keeps annoying to write review when you don't want to ### 2/5 — Bad-ish *2020-06-26, version 3.3.43* I like puzzles with lots of color. And I pretty much hated this game. Zilch on color, boring, and sad. And when I mean sad, I mean alllllllllll the levels are too boring for me to like them. And one more thing, its a waist of time. I had the green (dark) version and its so dark that every thing was black. That is why I gave it two stars🙄.Poo. See you later. Age: 9 I'm serious! 9. Reveiw this game and say you agree with me if you do. ### 2/5 — Great concept, but they are desperate for money *2019-11-28, version 3.3.43* I loved doing these as physical puzzles when I was in elementary school. This game was fun to start out with, but I got through all the puzzles in one night. And you can not not move forward without paying for the other puzzles. This is IN ADDITION to watching cheap ads... would be a good app, but the developers are far too greedy. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — IQ booster *2025-12-31, version 3.3.43* Very nicely design simple app for an ancient great game that activates/boosts logical thinking. Great for all ages! ### 5/5 — Best Tangram app ever *2025-05-16, version 3.3.43* Super playable, and intuitive. Superb user experience. I have been using it for years and it never gets old. ### 5/5 — Great App *2024-11-20, version 3.3.43* Works flawlessly and doesn't kill you with ads. Love this app. Best tangram app on the market. ### 5/5 — Nice Controls *2024-05-05, version 3.3.43* I tried several of the basic tangram apps and was disappointed by the controls. This app is the better choice so far. It allows you to rotate pieces easily AND it seems to auto-acknowledge correct placement. I was so frustrated by the other apps I tried, but as soon as I downloaded this app I noticed the ease of using it logically. Try it, if you enjoy the original tangram puzzles. ### 5/5 — Great for Mindulness *2021-05-31, version 3.3.43* I find this puzzle very relaxing and great for practicing mindfulness. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2020-09-29, version 3.3.43* I like it because no ads ### 5/5 — Love this game! *2020-05-09, version 3.3.43* I have had Tangram! for awhile and have always enjoyed the challenging yet soothing style of the game. Recently I had a problem solving one of the puzzles. I contacted the developer and was very impressed with how quickly I received a solution. I would highly recommend this game and this developer’s products to anyone!! ### 5/5 — Tangram! *2019-02-26, version 3.3.43* Excelente juego ### 5/5 — Just the ticket. *2019-01-02, version 3.3.43* Got tangram blocks for Christmas. This app gives me the challenges for my new blocks. ### 5/5 — All Done 😁 *2017-10-23, version 3.2.81* Finished the whole app in one week. Was fun while it lasted.
