Would not start. Only shows images.
30 seconds to first unskippable ad
To much AD destroy this game
There's no option to login to Google Play Games so I lost my 5 year progress after changing my phone. Now I have to do basic puzzles again due to level locking
Brought the Tangram Master Premium, now it doesn't work, and not available anymore
Too many adds and no way to skip them.
3 puzzles before I got an ad.
Controls are too fiddly, making everything take too long. Games aren't supposed to annoy the player.
Please Update this app. I facing bugs.
Worst Controls
It is way too difficult to rotate pieces.
The controls are so frustrating I removed this app after 3 levels
like everyone said, too many ads. we want to play a game, not watch ads. also, the controls are super clunky with the blocks auto rotating
The game itself is fun but I am NOT going to sit through an advert every time I solve ONE puzzle. I'm gone.
would be really enjoyable if there wasn't an add after EVERY puzzle. super annoying 😑
App design is good, but there are a ridiculous number of ads. I spend almost as much time watching ads as doing the actual puzzles.
Fun at first, but the further I got the more frequent the ads became. Uninstalling.
With no way to save progress I don't have much motivation to play. I'm tired of playing games only to lose my progress when I switch devices. Update: despite dev saying they'd add it, 6.5 years later still no way to transfer progress so just as I was worried about I lost it all when switching devices. Good thing I didn't bother playing much before for that very reason, looks like I was right to doubt it would be implemented.
Master mode is unplayable on my device. The slots for the shapes are too small and only become normal after clicking the hint button. Tapping anywhere else on the screen returns it to the small size.
Nice game up to a point. I finished one section and part of another, but every choice with an arrow to "click here" comes back saying it's locked.
Tablet version keeps stopping....please fix!
I have an issue with controls, from non responsive to hyper responsive. Couldn't play nicely. Other than that very good game.
