I play it ALL THE TIME and never tire of it. ### 5/5 — Great, relaxing puzzle *2019-04-20, version 1.8* I should have written this review months ago but the truth is I love this puzzle. I have had it on the iPad and would delete it for awhile then put it back again. I have always come back to it. It can be challenging and easy at the same time. But the it is always relaxing. I have always loved the concept. The idea is a simple one but I especially love the added features such as the colors that you can change to, the hints and the fact that the game tells you that you have succeeded. Great going guys. I have all of the series. I don’t know that it it needs updating as it is perfect the way it is. Thank you. Candy ### 5/5 — Love it!!! *2019-02-01, version 1.8* Great challenge for the mind. ### 5/5 — Relaxing, Stimulating and Enjoyable *2018-10-28, version 1.8* I have been playing this for many years. Stop playing for awhile because job took everything out of me. Although the job is still stressful, I returned to the puzzle, still enjoy it and play to unwind. I like the music too. It is good for distracting my thoughts and relaxing my mind. ### 5/5 — Love this puzzle game!!! *2018-08-28, version 1.7.7* This game is great. It's actually relaxing to play and solve the puzzles. It is fun, challenging and relaxing all at the same time. Plus I really love the background music. 2 thumbs up!! ### 5/5 — So much fun! *2018-06-20, version 1.8* I tried it out on a friend's phone and couldn't believe how addicting it was. Well worth the (surprisingly low) price tag. ### 4/5 — Great puzzle game. Graphic update would be nice. *2018-04-14, version 1.8* The game still looks like old apps. It could use a design refresh. ### 5/5 — Please keep updating *2018-03-08, version 1.8* Please keep this game updated. It’s very calming. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Beautiful ! *2017-11-23, version 1.8* Very well made, and nice graphics. Hours & hours of fun. "Would be nice if It had snap feature." ### 5/5 — Great game! *2017-09-23, version 1.8* Live the simplicity to it. Gives joy when completing puzzles. I recommend this game to all Zenists, chop wood & carry water. ### 5/5 — A fun way to learn tangrams *2017-07-30, version 1.8* This is a great app for learning how to do tangrams. The hints are helpful to exploring the beauty and challenge of the puzzles. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Relaxing *2017-06-24, version 1.8* I enjoy the relaxation I get from solving these delightful puzzles. They are challenging but not so much that you get frustrated. Truly enjoy this. ### 5/5 — Meditative *2017-06-22, version 1.8* I thoroughly enjoy this game for its relaxing and calming effect. Best for when I need to unwind. ### 5/5 — Worth $$$ *2017-04-12, version 1.8* Truely a well done tangrams app. The best out there imho. Available for free, but worth spending real money on! ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2017-03-02, version 1.8* Great game. With many puzzles & varied levels of difficulty, keeps it fun for a long time! ### 5/5 —  *2017-02-07, version 1.8* Thanks for this nice game ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-02-18, version 1.8* I bought this app today and it does not work. It stays frozen on login page no matter what you try to do. Buyer beware! ### 1/5 — Cannot close app on IPhone X *2017-11-08, version 1.8* Once this game opens you cannot access the app switcher by swiping up or there is no provision to close the app. ### 1/5 — 宜しく(⌒▽⌒) *2014-04-19, version 1.7.7* パズドラID100472883 クラクラ クラン 『豚しめじ』 よろしくお願いします🙏 ### 1/5 — まあまあ *2009-10-05, version 0* 操作性は悪いです。 ### 2/5 — Not so good *2014-04-17, version 1.7.7* Got really stuck at some levels and once i figured out i just had to really squeez them i got really mad. ### 2/5 — Ok *2011-11-20, version 1.7.2* The game is OK, but I find it boring using the same shapes all the time and the touch controls were more frustrating than intuitive at first. It would be a lot better to have different shapes to make it harder. The hint system is a fail, it gives you hints of pieces that you've correctly placed, I think pieces should 'snap' into place too. Does pass time at the bus stop or while I'm waiting a drug deal though ### 3/5 — The best free app in my opinion *2018-04-23, version 1.8* This app was the best free tangram app so I decided to purchase but the very first puzzle was one that was in the free version. SMH. Not off to a good start... ### 3/5 — 割と早く飽きる *2014-04-23, version 1.7.7* 菱形みたいなのがダブルクリックで向きが変わることを知らなくて幾つか詰んでいたけど、分かると簡単すぎて飽きる。同じ形ばかりを使うのではなく、他の形を使って同じことをしたいかも。 ### 3/5 — Fun game, but… *2014-04-20, version 1.7.7* I wish that some levels were actually hard. i skipped to the last level and found it to be as easy as the first ### 3/5 — おもしろいけど *2014-04-19, version 1.7.7* 難易度低い(´･_･`) ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Hours and hours of fun. *2026-05-29, version 1.8* Great puzzles that are calming to solve, and lots of them! ### 5/5 — Peaceful *2026-02-20, version 1.8* This is a wonderfully peaceful game that has had zero issues since the beginning! ### 5/5 — Down time *2025-10-31, version 1.8* I purchased this app several years ago and still enjoy it. I like is relaxing music and it’s simplicity. It’s a great app for a timeless puzzle game. ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-11-14, version 1.8* Good interface and just like the physical tangrams! Love it! ### 5/5 — Zen Mind *2023-07-14, version 1.8* It’s a great game to find your center. The soothing music and chimes allow my mind to forget stress. ### 5/5 — Love it!!! *2023-03-24, version 1.8* One of the best apps there is! I play it ALL THE TIME and never tire of it. ### 5/5 — 8年経つけど *2021-11-04, version 1.8* 面白い ### 5/5 — Just like the real tiles *2020-06-28, version 1.8* I have two sets of these tiles and I still love playing this on my phone during commercials. It’s quick and there are a lot of puzzles to solve ### 5/5 — Fun and entertaining *2020-05-23, version 1.8* Definitely worth downloading ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2020-01-18, version 1.8* I love playing this game & recommend it to family & friends. Still love the game but you keep asking me to rate you. Why? Please don’t spoil a good thing as you don’t want a 1 star do you? But like I said I love this game ok!! Still love this game!! I still love this game!! But being asked to rate the game is getting on my nerves now!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
