Lots of polish behind the scenes that make the puzzles a joy to play over and over again. My only downside after multiple playthroughs is I wish there were even more puzzles. You will while away many hours solving these and the support is great. Recently upgraded to 64 bits to be compatible with 64 bit only OS coming from Apple. ### 5/5 — Great game *2017-07-23, version 2.0* When I finish them all off, I just reload the game and start over. I'm hoping the game gets upgraded for the new iOS release! ### 5/5 — Relaxing puzzles *2017-05-10, version 2.0* So far (done with the first 30) these are relaxing low-stress puzzles. I expect that they will become more challenging but as there's no time limit they can be done leisurely. ### 5/5 — Relaxing *2017-01-12, version 2.0* Perfect little app. Great for children to increase fine motor & spatial skills. Soothing for adults to play. I highly recommend you give it a try. ### 5/5 — Lots of fun! *2016-09-22, version 2.0* Enjoyable challenges at every step. Some easier than others, but a challenge non the less. For children and adult fun. ### 5/5 — Love it to relax! *2016-07-02, version 2.0* When I feel the need to relax, I settle down with Tanzen and work through the puzzles. It's just what I need to make my worries go away. A few are quite challenging, but most are able to be solved without much frustration. ### 5/5 — Mental Yoga *2016-01-27, version 2.0* Relaxing stretches for my brain with some gentle puzzling. Pretty and provokes creativity. ### 5/5 — Great game! *2016-01-24, version 2.0* Really enjoyable. Lots of levels. ### 5/5 — Tan zen *2015-06-24, version 2.0* Addictive fun. Easy to use and so satisfying when a puzzle comes together. I have to set a timer on my iPad to limit myself or I'll go for hours! ### 5/5 — FUN! *2015-04-16, version 2.0* These puzzles are not difficult but not so easy as to be boring, either. Relaxing and challenging at the same time? ### 5/5 — Tangram HD *2014-12-20, version 2.0* Even better than the board game because you don't have to worry about losing the pieces! ### 5/5 — Challenging *2014-12-12, version 2.0* An excellent way to exercise your mind. ### 5/5 — Love it *2014-04-19, version 2.0* Play it for hours love it ### 5/5 — 昔ながらの *2014-02-05, version 2.0* 4歳の息子がLittle White Bear Studioさんのパズルの大ファン。 ホンモノのタングラムやペントミノも買っちゃいました。 でも、外出先ではAppに限る。 たくさんあるから飽きないし、ピースをなくす心配もないから大助かり。 ところで、タングラムの発祥は中国？ この音楽はそれを意識しているんだろうか？ 音楽も選べるといいですね。 ### 5/5 — Tan zen *2014-01-01, version 2.0* moderately challenging and great fun! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 3/5 — Relaxing *2010-12-19, version 1.5* Great puzzles, it really pulls you in. ### 3/5 — Too easy *2010-09-16, version 0* Started out as a very fun app but got pretty boring pretty fast. I wish every single puzzle didn't use the same exact shapes and it presented more of a challenge. Even if they varied the shapes with each page that would have been more of an improvement. Finished the game in two days ### 3/5 — どうだか *2010-09-15, version 0* なんだか音楽が暗いよね。パズル完成しても達成感無いし、たんたんと進む感じ。キャラクターでも喜んでくれないかな。 ### 3/5 — Pretty good app -- BUT *2010-07-26, version 0* It crashes often -- you'll be halfway through a puzzle and the app just closes down. Be nice if the developers can fix that, otherwise it's good for whiling away the time and chilling out. ### 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. ### 4/5 — Great until you complete them all! - flashing! *2018-06-10, version 2.1* I’ve a knack for these things. I do them quite quickly. Still well worth the paid version. But there’s a flaw. Once I completed the final puzzle, the whole thing locked up and began flashing psychedelic patterns and colors on my screen! The only way to stop it was to force close the app as it won’t respond to touch. Reopening the app appears fine, but only by deleting and reinstalling can you start over again. ### 4/5 — Relaxing *2017-02-26, version 2.0* Always looking forward to solving the next puzzle. Addictive in a good way. Love the fact that it allows you to play your own background music from your library. Mentally stimulating at the same time relaxing. I find it very peaceful. Great app. Highly recommend it for those who like solving puzzles of this nature. ### 4/5 — Enjoyable Challenge *2014-08-08, version 2.0* I'm having fun with this little game, but it's actually too easy, because of the actual-sized outline into which you fit the pieces. It would be more challenging if there were an option to turn that off. I used to have a plastic Tangram set where you actually moved physical pieces around, and there were no actual-sized outlines to fit the pieces into, just a small picture showing the desired shape. This was much more of a challenge. ### 4/5 — very nice *2013-06-15, version 2.0* good graphics, simple structure however when arranging pieces, it is often difficult to position them so they don't overlap puzzles are pretty easy - not much challenge ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. 😒 ### 5/5 — Glad to see 64-bit version! *2017-09-10, version 2.1* This is my go-to game for just chilling out and whiling away a few minutes. It's the best tangram puzzle game I've ever played. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2017-08-07, version 2.1* I've had this game for years and go back and play it often. Many, many puzzles and quite relaxing. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
