Relaxing

This is a gentle game when you get in the zone but some of the puzzles can be quite challenging at times. This game has never crashed for me and the "controls" are very clear and simple. Worth paying for.

This reminds me of times at primary school when you are given shapes to make up an image. A wonderful way of exercising all those creative brain cells.

This game is something good to pass the time or to use as a break from work/studying. It is relaxing enough to calm you but hard enough to keep the synapsis firing for when you continue work.

2011-11-20

Ok

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

2011-11-19

Very good.

This is a very good app. Would be 5🌟 however the new slide down bar (ios5) could be removed as when you try to get shapes at the top of the screen, you end up pulling the notification bar down. This is annoying.

I like puzzles and have found some of these really frustrating but it's such a good feeling when you complete the shape!!!

2011-11-16

Good but not great

It is a good puzzle, great to do it on the tube or when you waiting for your appointment. The problem is that it doesn't get more difficult, every puzzle uses the same shapes so after you done a few it's like doing the same thing over and over again. Still a good time killer I just wish that another shape was added once in a wile...

Good but

This game is so relaxing I playing before I go to bed every night and when I'm bored but it's really fun.
I love how there are well over 200 puzzles to play from EXCEPT one criticism is that lots of the games are the same
Hannah Boon
Version 1.7.1
2011-05-25

Not long term

Not a bad little puzzle but does get a bit monotonous. Could use a bit more variation, the positions of the shapes are just a bit too obvious. The tuition at the start could be made shorter and to skip it if u wished. Anyone with half a brain could figure out how the pieces are moved.
Okay if you just want somthin t,do while yer waiting fer yer sarney
to be made.

Just amazing!!
And the shapes are limited because this was the challenge of the original classic Chinese game.
For example, the shapes in Tetris are also limited. Still a lot of fun to play though.

It does not require too much thinking just enough to stimulate the mind, so even after a tired day or work you can play it to relax

Nice :)

It's actually a really good relaxing time-waster, I've come to like it a lot :). And there's plenty of puzzles to get through. I think in the next update, should develop it even further and have bigger puzzles to solve with more pieces!! :)

Great distraction!

Well thought out, well executed & regularly updated, couldn't ask for a lot more.... except that they should have made this a dual/iPad version instead of expecting more money from those of us that have already paid!

This is a great app for passing some time. I downloaded the lite version and got hooked, it now keeps me entertained most days on the bus to work. I'd recomend this Game to everyone, well worth the pennies.

Addictive and can loose track of time

It's fun and stimulates the mind. And be warned; you can loose track of time when playing this... Great for when your at home bored out of your skull, or simply passing the time when your on the bus or train... Or when your sat in the passenger seat when your partner is driving and nagging at you.. This game is brilliant and easy to use, and suitable for all ages :)
coffee-addict81
2010-01-27

Entertaining

Not bad at all. 59p is excellent value. This is a deceptivly hard game, but a lot of fun.
However, it desperatly needs a splash of colour. The constand green and sand is quite depressing. Let's gets some nice bright colours for the different shapes. Also, a little annoying is the fact that the pieces don't auto fit to the palce you drop them. It would be nice if you made the background shadow actually fit exactly to the pieces and let them click into place.
Otherwise an excellent game, good fun and I give it 4 stars.

Good time 'filler-upper'

Rather boring after a while as so easy. Can make app more difficult by using the master-something option but to be honest it's only one option and I expected more. Maybe that could be changed in future updates? A few tweeks could see me rate this with an extra star.
Mutteroo
2009-04-08

excellent game.

i bought it and this is one of my favourite game i got.
you can cheat if you want too.
TIP:-
when you double tap on top of the puzzle, its show you two hints at time. afterward you have to find rest of them. thats good.
even thogh you cant guess them,
just press home button n exit the game, scroll the home screen few times or wait few min, n start the game again, it will start the puzzle where you stopped.
double tap again. amaizing it will show you another two hints..
cheers developers. you missed it.
thats called cheating this puzzle.

2009-02-06

Pretty good stuff if you ask me

Worth 59p! Only played two puzzles and I'm already liking it...however if I was to admit a negative I'd have to say that it's a bit slow when rotating and dragging pieces compared to a similar app "Songgram"
Other than that...nothing much to say other than worth the buy

2009-01-22

Fabulous and immersive

This is a superb app I think there are over 400 puzzles and very regular updates that bring even more! All for just 59p! It's a great puzzle game to exercise your brain and I recommend it to everyone

2009-01-15

Bring them on

Brill, great, fab, this is my second tanz app. The first was by another company and I guess I just got bugged. Great app how about in future updates having the pieces lock in place, far better for us oldies.

Top marks

This game is amazing and so addictive that I find myself playing it all the time.
The updates keep coming thick and fast and so I don't think I'll ever get to the end. For this price I really have no regrets in purchasing this app.
Plus just when I thought the app couldn't get any better the developer adds a TanZen Master mode which just make it even more addictive. This app is so versatile and I would deffinately recommend it to anyone and everyone.
Thank you for a great game that kills time no matter how long you need to stay distracted for.

Super smashing great!!

First tangram game I played on the iPod and it had me addicted from day 1!! I think it's great value @ 59p and it also has regular updates/more puzzles. Only thing I will add is that there is a glitch with the game and you can manage to fit all the pieces in some of the shapes and leave big gaps and the puzzle closes????! Probably how I actually finished it all ;-)

Fantastic game with regular updates. I complete a puzzle or two per day and have barely made a dent in the vast number of them available. Interface is slick and polished. Worth every penny!

2008-12-21

Amazing application!!!!

It is really addictive and very relaxing!!! Can we not have more difficult levels and even more shapes? It would be also entertaining to tell us the name of the shapes once it is solved and to play with multiple coloured shapes:) only suggestions tho:)

2008-12-21

Addicitive!!!

Found the lite version at first hard but then it go soooo easy. Takes no more than 5 mins to complete a puzzle, I need harder level, soo hard that it's near impossible to complete and makes me want to throw my iPhone at a wall :-)
Fun game, pretty easy. Well worth the price. Best tangram game on iPhone. Highly recomended!!
Awayze
2008-12-09

Fantastic....

Worth every penny. Should charge more. I've had this game for a few months now and i'm still playing, completing the puzzles few at a time when get the chance.
It's an attractive and addictive game and to top it off it's updated regularly with more puzzles and little adjustments to make it better.
Thank you and keep doing what you do.

Amazing

Amazing app, which kills lots of time! I played it for the first hour and was shocked to see that an hour had passed. The control scheme is not perfect, but it is intuitive . Frequent updates show that the developer WILL continue to add more puzzles and make the game better. I've loved the introduction of a hint system, for those that i couldn't complete. Great app!

Love it!!

I love this great app, it really helps pass the time on trains, on the bus, or when you're sitting around at home and got nothing better to do!!,.. only thing stoppting me giving it 5 stars is that there needs to be more shapes and different puzzles,.. well worth the money though!!

2008-09-28

Great Game

This is a great game for the money - 59p is a bargain. Play this when you've got a few minutes waiting for the bus, or when you've got a bit longer; it doesn’t matter. Looks good, plays well, and can be played with one hand.

A great little game that'll keep you comming back

The interface is very slick but I think that single finger rotation Is overrated.
The previous version allowed you to place one finger anywhere on the screen and use another to rotate the dial. Much easier than the instructions showed.
This game saves itself at any point so you can pick up a puzzle and play whenever you have a couple of minutes to spare.
Excellent work.

2008-08-27

Fantastic app!

I finished the lite version pretty quickly so decided to upgrade to the full version, a great decision! With the new update, this game is perfect for when you have a little free time, and it's so addictive. I've only paid for 2 apps so far and they've both been great buys :-)
Whiteless
2008-08-24

Good stuff

An excellent game but in my experience it's far too easy. I can't complain though and wouldn't mind playing the same puzzles twice. 5 stars for a perfect UI.
Nintendogg
2008-08-21

Great game.

I bought this game yesterday and can thoroughly recommend it. I'm looking forward to the forthcoming free update which will address my two main issues with it though, which will be to add more puzzles and to implement a single-finger rotation method. Once those two issues are addressed, then this game will be perfect. In anticipation of that, I'm giving it 5 stars.
In the meantime though, for those having trouble rotating the pieces, if you visit the developer's support page (linked from here in iTunes) you'll see a video demonstrating a MUCH easier way to rotate the pieces: instead of the tricky "two thumbs on the circle" method (like a mini-steering wheel), put one finger ANYWHERE on the screen, and then your other finger on the circle to rotate freely and easily.
BrettArchibald
2008-08-19

By far my favourite Game App

I just loved it!
I'm looking forward to more and more puzzles and the one finger rotation.
Just please add more difficult puzzles - the ones that are available right now don't take more than 3-5 minutes to solve.
I really would like to play with the ones that take about 20-30 minutes to solve :DDD.
Great Job!!!
mstarostka
2008-08-15

Looks promising

I loved the free lite version and have upgraded now to the full version. It's really addictive and fun I must say!
But I would like it if it was updated regularly adding more and more puzzles with them being bigger and bigger - really pushing the player! I want more! More puzzles in the updates and more challanging ones! Otherwise- top app- shows more promise!

2008-08-05

Wicked app and addictive

This puzzle is great, first night I played for ages until late. Very addictive :).
Love to have more games like this on my iPod very soon.
Small problem tho is rotating the shapes, can be quite hard.
csb-1989
2008-08-02

Great Game But.......

Please Please Please do some kind of update that allows you to rotate the shape with your index finger more freely as it can be tricky rotating with two fingers and getting it to align correctly, other than that great puzzle game and gets more challenging as you go on :]
