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 ### 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! ### 2/5 — Fun when there is a solution to the puzzle *2021-06-05, version 1.9* Some of the puzzles just can’t be solved.... ### 5/5 — Great for relaxing *2021-06-01, version 1.9* We use this app at school and it’s just great ### 4/5 — There’s a reason why 4 out of 5 *2021-05-16, version 1.9* This game is a good game and I love it. The only thing I think is wrong with it is that the music is not that good. The music doesn’t sound relaxing at all. But the rest of the game is very good. It usually takes awhile to finish one puzzle but it is always a bunch of fun! ### 5/5 — TanZen *2021-02-17, version 1.9* Perfect game that improves mind and strategy skills!!! ### 4/5 — Never gets old *2020-10-03, version 1.9* Great puzzles to focus the mind and challenge spatial skills. In free version sometimes a finished puzzle doesn’t “set” so it doesn’t show as solved. ### 5/5 — Tangram *2020-09-15, version 1.9* LOVE IT! ### 4/5 — Bro *2020-07-20, version 1.9* It’s alright to play it from time to time. ### 5/5 — Tan Zen Tangram *2020-07-10, version 1.9* Awesome and perfect for relaxation ### 5/5 — Relaxing fun *2020-06-25, version 1.9* This visually appealing game will get you looking at space in different ways. Much fun. ### 5/5 — Good UI, tough puzzles *2020-06-21, version 1.9* I like how with this Tangram app they don’t use a grid system or anything, you just get the pieces close enough to fitting in the shape and it can recognize they’re placed/oriented correctly ### 5/5 — Great Puzzle game! *2020-06-10, version 1.9* My 9 year old and me, both love this app! ### 5/5 — Great Fun *2020-05-23, version 1.9* I have a physical Tangram puzzle game that I’ve enjoyed for years. This digital version is terrific. It works well and is available whenever I have my tablet or phone with me. Who could ask for anything more! ### 5/5 — So much fun and relaxing *2020-05-19, version 1.9* When I do the puzzles it is easy and fun. It is relaxing because it has soothing music. ### 4/5 — Too much fun and relaxation *2020-03-29, version 1.9* Something that has no numbers or words is refreshing ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — TanZen *2021-11-12, version 1.9* I love playing this but once I open an play it will not close just had to shut my phone completely off 3 times To get back to Home Screen. I have removed it as it sticks that you can’t close and move on. ### 1/5 — oops. *2020-02-26, version 1.9* I regret paying for this stupid rohit I hate America I have a bomb. ### 1/5 — Locked Up With Ads *2019-10-31, version 1.9* I really liked this game, but the first time I played it, an ad popped up and I could not get out of the ad and back to the game. I reloaded the game and was problem free for a week or so and then had the same thing happen. Bottom line: play while you can because an ad is going to lock you out and the game will be unusable soon. ### 1/5 — Misleading *2017-01-14, version 1.9* Claims to have 54 free puzzles; actually only has 9. If you want a hint, you watch a video, only to be told that one of the pieces you placed has indeed been placed correctly (this happened twice - i.e. with two already-placed pieces - when I was trying to figure out one that had me stumped). Trying a different one and deleting this one. ### 1/5 — What happened????? *2017-01-11, version 1.9* I have this at my school but when I played it here at home and not at school it was totally different!! ### 1/5 — Cannot imagine who thought this was a good idea *2016-04-21, version 1.9* "To see hint watch this short video"--then a 20-second ad for a crossword puzzle game before a hint about placing a piece. Nope nope nope, that is sneaky and incredibly annoying. Deleted the game 2 minutes after downloading it. ### 1/5 — Not user friendly *2012-06-14, version 1.7.3* Like the game, but not user friendly and freezes; would be great if it worked. Ok, 3 days later and even after an update game freezes and constantly asks you to purchase other games. I would definitely not pay for this app as it stands now, and am trashing the free version. Too bad, good game. ### 1/5 — うーん、 *2011-02-23, version 1.6.5* どぅやろうね？ ### 1/5 — うん *2010-09-23, version 0* まぁまぁ ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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! ### 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 ### 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 ### 5/5 — No ads! Just tangram puzzles! *2024-04-26, version 1.9* I was so happy to find this game that has no bells and whistles, just puzzles. It’s simple to play, relaxing, and has no ads. Thank you so much for making this! ### 5/5 — Engrossing moment of zen! *2024-04-01, version 1.9* Beautifully simple game. Mental focus and calm escape … without pressure of clocks, countdowns, or impending deaths like in so many games. ### 5/5 — Fun *2023-08-17, version 1.9* This is an enjoyable game that helps me with spacial relationships, a handicap of mine. A good relaxing challenge. ### 5/5 — So fun *2021-06-08, version 1.9* this game is awesome --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
