Pros and cons of Tangrams Lite app for iPhone and iPad
Tangrams Lite app good for
This is one of the better puzzles out of all the others I have played that are like it. Its Worth the download. It would have gotten 5 stars, but I found that I raced through the few puzzles that came with the lite version. Its worth paying for!
The interface is simple and easy to use. Unfortunately, theres no way to flip a piece (especially the parallelagram) which limits the kind of puzzles you can create and solve. This wont matter to the casual tangram player..
This app is definitely a work-out for your brain. Its so much fun and very addicting!
Works most excellently. Cant beat the price. Time to buy the 500 puzzle version!
Its very easy to use. I enjoy that you only have to tap it once to rotate it-- none of this ritating manually. I give it 5 stars!
This is an awesome App, easy to use and also includes a "hint" button.
Some bad moments
Its A good game idea but its horable to control. The Shapes have to be exactly on the place and cant be a pixel off or they wont lock in. Also The look of the game is very boring and bland.
I have every single one of the tangram apps, both free and paid...Im addicted! But for some reason, this one doesnt measure up. You cant rotate the pieces like in the other apps. You can only tap them and it moves it a quarter turn each tap. Its incredibly robotic and not nearly as "zen" as the rest.
The puzzles were great but there were only about seven to ten puzzles and they were always in the same order.
Itll do for a tangram game but there are much better ones out there with smoother controls I found the easiest to. Control was called "Tangram!" and the other was like tangram zen relax. Dont get this
But you really need to add more puzzles here, not everyone has enough money to buy the full version and has to keep finding more puzzles to solve.
