### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2025-11-22, version 2.1*

It works great on my iPad but not so good on my iPhone. It glitches a lot and closes for no reason. I paid for it but had to remove it because it was just too frustrating.

### 5/5 — Relaxing puzzle game

*2025-10-01, version 2.1*

After all these years it’s still one of my favorite games to pass time, it works well after all these years and I love that it’s on the iPad as well!

### 5/5 — Fun Puzzles

*2022-06-19, version 2.1*

Tanzen is a fun puzzle game with a pleasing and easy-to-use interface, like its fellow game Trizen.

### 5/5 — Very Zen

*2021-09-01, version 2.1*

This is my favorite bedtime activity.  Most puzzles are easily solvable, but some are really challenging.  I’ve seen criticism about wanting the pieces to snap into place, but if that were the case, the puzzles would solve themselves.  Actually, I like the simplicity of the entire app—no blinking ads, no trickiness to push spending, no clutter.  You can purchase colors, but that’s just esthetics.  Another good feature—you can actually listen to podcasts or carry on conversations while playing.

### 5/5 — Calm

*2021-05-09, version 2.1*

TanZen just fades into the background and lets you solve the puzzles.

### 5/5 — After Puzzle 27, they can’t be done. 😡

*2020-03-09, version 2.1*

I used the hints, but they don’t seem possible.

### 1/5 — Needs to be a more challenging

*2020-02-17, version 2.1*

OKAY  this game has been the most easy game ever and the only thing is that it has to be fixed now

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2019-09-26, version 2.1*

Countless puzzles and so well executed. Very intuitive.

### 5/5 — 良い

*2019-05-09, version 2.1*

種類がいっぱいあって面白い。

### 5/5 — Ok app

*2019-03-22, version 2.1*

I love Tangrams. But I discovered today that I can see the solution in the gray areas.  😒
