Community Insight:
We purchased this app several years ago and still enjoy it. We like is relaxing music and its simplicity. Its a great app for a timeless puzzle game.
Good interface and just like the physical tangrams! Love it.
Its a great game to find your center. The soothing music and chimes allow our mind to forget stress.
One of the best apps there is! We play it ALL THE TIME and never tire of it.
We have two sets of these tiles and we still love playing this on our phone during commercials. Its quick and there are a lot of puzzles to solve.
We have recommended these Puzzles for years, to help clients manage Stress and Anxiety.
One of the best apps there is! We play it ALL THE TIME and never tire of it.
We should have written this review months ago but the truth is we love this puzzle. We have had it on the iPad and would delete it for awhile then put it back again. We have always come back to it. It can be challenging and easy at the same time. But the it is always relaxing. We have always loved the concept. The idea is a simple one but we 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. We have all of the series. We dont know that it it needs updating as it is perfect the way it is. Thank you. Candy.
We have been playing this for many years. Stop playing for awhile because job took everything out of us. Although the job is still stressful, we returned to the puzzle, still enjoy it and play to unwind. We like the music too. It is good for distracting our thoughts and relaxing our mind.
We tried it out on a friend's phone and couldn't believe how addicting it was. Well worth the (surprisingly low) price tag.
Please keep this game updated. Its very calming. Thank you.
Very well made, and nice graphics. Hours & hours of fun. "Would be nice if It had snap feature.".
Live the simplicity to it. Gives joy when completing puzzles. We recommend this game to all Zenists, chop wood & carry water.
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.
We enjoy the relaxation we get from solving these delightful puzzles. They are challenging but not so much that you get frustrated. Truly enjoy this.
We thoroughly enjoy this game for its relaxing and calming effect. Best for when we need to unwind.
Truely a well done tangrams app. The best out there imho. Available for free, but worth spending real money on.
Great game. With many puzzles & varied levels of difficulty, keeps it fun for a long time.
It seems like an oxymoron to say that a puzzle is both stimulating and relaxing. But it stimulates our brain while relaxing our mind at the same time. We love it. LWB Studios updates and adds new puzzles frequently so we've not yet run out of puzzles. Those people who feel it is too easy and would like it to be more challenging should switch to the master's mode. Without the grey silhouettes to place the tiles over it is much harder.
We love the puzzles! They are very calming and soothing. They are a great way to relax after a stressful day.
We really enjoy this game. The music is calming and these puzzles are always a great brain teaser. Thanks.
One of our favorite pass times. Is relatively challenging and fun.
Hmmm… Why do you suppose all those one & two raters won't write a review justifying their rating? Because they're all cowards, that's why.
This is a very fun challenge and also relaxing game….love this game.
Exactly what we were looking for.
Simple controls, calming music, and a great selection of puzzles. Really relaxing game play.
The free version gives you plenty of puzzles to solve – we expect we will be buying the paid version soon.
We like this much better than the original card version we purchased for our daughter 20 years ago.
Nice stress-free puzzle. Nice distraction from our busy schedule. Helps clear the mind. We like the challenge.
We got the free app and when we're done we'll buy the package to get all. Calm, pleasant little puzzles and quiet music, great for getting a little peace of mind. Thank you.
Good puzzles. Quite challenging. Easy to use. Very moreish. Well designed interface.
A lovely, relaxing little game. We hope new diagrams will be offered in the future. Solid five stars.
We got the free version and played through all the levels, and haven't once regretted getting the paid version. They're constantly adding new levels (not that we're close to solving them all), and it's just a really good, smooth-working little app. We've never had a glitch with it, and it's a nice way to use up a minute or two solving a puzzle — plus it saves your progress if you get interrupted.
This game is challenging and fun – and frustrating (because we are so bad as these types of games). It really makes you think and exercise your mind while at the same time it's a simple (for some) puzzle game. This is the kind of game we will always have open in the background to work on.
Game, AP support, puzzles and so much more.
The game still looks like old apps. It could use a design refresh.
This app was the best free tangram app so we decided to purchase but the very first puzzle was one that was in the free version. SMH. Not off to a good start.
We bought this app today and it does not work. It stays frozen on login page no matter what you try to do. Buyer beware.
Once this game opens you cannot access the app switcher by swiping up or there is no provision to close the app.
Very addictive and stimulating game. When we start on it we just can't stop.
This is a relatively stress-free, fun time filler. We do wish the music would change every now and then, but that's a minor complaint. Overall, we love this game.
The perfect game for when you have 5 minutes to kill.
Played through several times; love this game.
Wonderfully introduced to digital.
This game is still fun to revisit from time to time years after we first bought it and the developer still keeps it up to date. 5stars.
TanZen is a great example of a successful digital conversion of a physical game. We use it quite often to unwind and relax after a challenging day. The new update fixes the issue with the iPhone 6s that prevented us from flipping pieces. Thus we are now able to complete puzzles again. Thank you, Little White Bear Studios.
This is an excellent tool for calming and relaxing moments.
Relaxing and lots of fun. Very smooth.
We finished them all, more levels please.
A really well thought out interface. Easy to use and fun to play. A great brain game. Years ago, we gave this 4 stars. Definitely 5 stars now. One of our faves. And thanks for the free updated puzzles.
