App Review: Tangram Puzzle Pro

Tangram is an ancient Chinese game that is played by arranging 7 blocks into different shapes. This app brings exactly this to the palm of your hand. A silhouette of the figure is shown, and your job is to fill it in with all the blocks. The blocks are held inside a dock. It is a bit annoying to take out all the blocks one by one, but if you shake your device, all the pieces come out. The graphics and details are superb. 

The game includes its own serene soundtrack to play to, but, upon opening, you are given the option to listen to your own music. So if you’re already listening to something, it won’t be interupted. 

There are currently a total of 480 puzzles, which I admit to have beaten all. The publisher plans on releasing more puzzle packs as parts of future updates as well.  It is a nice little app to use when you are bored.

It is definitely worth the price, and I reccomend it to anyone who finds themselves in situations with nothing to do.
