Community Insight:
We have this puzzles since long time ago and still like very much is a great way to relax your mind highly recommend.
Definitely one of the better ones out there. A bit addictive but in a good way.
Like the game. Easy to play and relaxing. A little frustrated when the shadow still has a gray spot after placing all the pieces. This has happened three times so far.
Im very pleasantly surprised at how nice this free game works. Its easy to spin the pieces, and they have the right amount of snap to 45* orientations. Theyre also forgiving of not having everything lined up exactly so! Pieces have to be in the right spot, but the game doesnt demand pixel level precision. We downloaded this game as a brain warm up for our 8yo, and Ive found ourselves playing it as well. PS He loves the background music, hums along with it.
This is a terrific tangram app. Its simple, just like playing with real pieces; not a lot of fuss or bother, which is what we were looking for. So far its been truly free not even an ad, which is a breath of fresh air and there are lots of puzzles to choose from. Special shout-out to the music, which is peaceful and meditative. Excellent overall; highly recommended.
Great workout for this old lady recovering from a stroke. Thanks for offering it.
We love tanagrams, we used to have a physical set as a kid, and we wanted to find a decent game on an app to take with us on the go. This fits the bill. Had the most levels without having to pay to upgrade, and simple game play, no frills.
DOWNLOAD OVERWATCH TODAY, THIS IS AN ADVERTISEMENT.
This app has proven to be not only a nice way to pass the time, but quite a good way to de-stress. Non-intrusive backgrounds – both playing surface and music – allow a mind to focus on puzzling and let other stuff go. New skins for pieces open up as you progress, and TRULY free to play (unless you need a hint, for brief ad) makes it a joy.
This ancient game is awesome, instructive, amazing and real mind challenge. We love it.
We have loved tangrams and the geometric problem solving skills they teach for years. We used them in our elementary classrooms for years. Now we find this and we do nothing else.
We love this app.tanzen is our favorite geometry app and is a very good app for your brain,too.We like free games on our we-pad.It is our favorite game in the world.By the way,we wonder if our friends like this app.Mmmmmmm…l also like those skins on the game,too .Did you know that using the hints on the game isn't using your brain to solve the puzzle and we love the way they made the game and big thanks to whoever made this app,and the TanZen game.
We enjoy using our brain and the music is spa-like.
We love working the puzzles. It is fun while making you reason things out.
This game is a great brain teaser that is also calming. Not sure how they managed that combination, but they did.
We really enjoy winding down with this at night. We enjoy the challenge of making the shapes yet it is very calming.
THIS APP IS AMAZING! We download and re down it because we can always restart and have some more fun! We hope in the future there are many more puzzles! Amazing app.
Have it on our iPhone and iPad. It's our go to puzzle game. Great for passing time. Wish the iPad had the option of multicolored pieces though.
We recently downloaded this app and our 4 yr old just did the first puzzle after trying a good bit. He loved it so much that he was quite unhappy that we could only give it 5 stars! Great app when you want to relax. Almost meditative.
This is a lot of fun. Can be challenging. Full of puzzles.
The best tangrams game. We've tried multiple and this is by far the best! It has actual challenge and it is easy to learn how to use.
Otherwise its a pleasant way to wind down.
We really enjoy this game. Its easy to play, and just enough of a challenge to be interesting, but its not difficult to the point of being frustrating. Theres no timer to stress about, and you cant be killed, so you can just play at your own pace without having to think too much. Nice design as well. Our only problem is that when we tap on songs in the options, the app crashes every time. We like the main music, but would like to change it once in a while, but Ive never been able to hear what the other music is. We hope they can fix this in an update.
Our only complaint is that the shapes don't snap into place. That makes it feel a little amateur.
The music is nice. More music selections are needed.
Great variety of puzzles offers the perfect distraction that challenges yet allows you to relax. These puzzles are like cross words but with tan grams. Relaxing yet stimulating and fun.
We have loved tangrams since we were a child and appreciate being able to play anywhere. Puzzles are fun and challenging, app functions well. We don't care for the way the pieces are rotates, a two-finger solution seems more intuitive to us, but the setup is easy to use nonetheless. Thank you.
As an avid fan of the original Tangrams, this game is the closest thing to playing with the actual pieces! There are plenty of levels, and best of all, the advertisements are limited, which is always a deal breaker for us. We highly recommend this game.
A ok app great for math when our kid was remote it was great for him to do math.our son loves this game.
This would be a great app if only the pieces would snap into place. As it is, you have to micromanage them into the shape to get them juuuuuust right or they won't be recognized as solved. Disappointing.
The game is just like the version we played with wooden tiles as a child. The music is soothing. The ability to get hints by watching a brief commercial for another app game is great.
This game was good before, but in a recent update they added a ton more puzzles, now it's amazing.
For a while we were thinking that this game was overly sensitive and that it required that the pieces be placed "just so." That was because there's a slight lag at the end. Once you place all of the pieces, if you wait for half a second, it will then check and accept your answer. It's a fun and very pretty puzzle game :).
This game is great, it's challenging but keeps us occupied for a long time. We're anxious to try the other games.
We have a puzzle game like this with cards and blocks from over 20 years ago and tickled to find a digital version of the puzzle.
Thanks for a great app! It's fun and easy to play while problem solving and thinking outside of the box.
A wonderfully simple but effective interface to orient and position the pieces makes this version of the tangrams puzzles a pleasure. The very generous number of puzzles also makes this a wonderful addition to a puzzle and games collection. Thank you, Little White Bear Studios.
We would give it five stars if we could turn off the background music without muting our iPad! Otherwise, as much fun as the original tile game plus hints if you watch short ads. Unfortunately, the hint may be for a piece you've already placed correctly. Time will tell if improvements are made.
We like the music. We work on these puzzle as something relaxing to do before bed. The flipping the piece the opposite direction by double tapping it doesn't work for us most of the time.
A fantastic and professionally relaxing, challenging, beautiful game.
Best way to start the morning is to get your mind rolling by solving one of these puzzles and reading your Bible! Fantastic game.
We were looking for a game to challenge our brain and we believe we have found it. Some of the puzzles we can figure out for ourselves and some we need a hint. It's stimulating and enjoyable.
This tangram game is very relaxing…helps take away the stress of a busy day.
Our kids love we have fun to great app.
Both addicting and relaxing! We love this game.
This one satisfies both us and our son.
This is a fun yet challenging game. We really enjoy it.
This is a true brain teaser. It is fantastic. Had been doing tangram years back and we are truly happy to get it as an app. Good job.
It would give you more colors when you are done with the game.
Challenging yet not too difficult or time-consuming.
