### 4/5 — Thinking Training

*2026-05-10, version 1.9*

What a great way to exercise and train one’s brain by actually visualizing in your minds eye multiple different thoughts of solution patterns to solve for the presentation pattern. Great fun and functionality.

### 4/5 — Please add more levels

*2026-05-01, version 1.9*

I want more levels because there isn’t that many and I finished it in three weeks so please add more

### 5/5 — Cool app, farewell grade 10 me

*2025-12-26, version 1.9*

Reminds me of grade 10. It still looks like it was made in the early 2010s. I love it!

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2025-12-17, version 1.9*

I loved this puzzle game, but looks like the creators added a bug for the free game, as soon as I open any puzzle it crashes.

### 5/5 — I play this game daily

*2025-08-31, version 1.9*

This has been the only game in my phone for a few years now. I have played through all the challenges so many times that they are all fairly familiar and quick for me. I keep coming back for the soothing enjoyment of turning and placing the blocks. I can easily listen to things while relaxing and doing puzzles or I even will minimize YouTube videos in the corner as I play. Thanks for still having this out in the world!

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2025-08-07, version 1.9*

I tried several Tangram type apps before finding this one. This one doesn’t limit how you can move the pieces. Also the pieces don’t snap to position or give you any other obvious hints like that. There’s true freedom of movement of the pieces!

### 5/5 — Stress free

*2025-07-06, version 1.9*

This puzzle game is bind blowing and sooooo fun and satisfying I love it because it gets your mind going and it increases brain power 5 out of 5 there is a new puzzle waiting every day and one downfall we need more hard puzzles I’ve completed half the game already

### 3/5 — I used to love this…

*2025-02-05, version 1.9*

But now it closes automatically after just one puzzle. I’ve downloaded it twice and it just will Not stay open so frustrating!

### 5/5 — Flashing lights at the end of all puzzles

*2025-01-26, version 1.9*

Just finished all the free puzzles and thought I should let people know that it flashes through all the puzzles at the end

It’s nice being able to move and rotate the pieces easily

### 5/5 — Lots of fun

*2025-01-16, version 1.9*

Enjoyed the challenge some are tricky
