Blocks Reviews

This is a fun game, but the ads were annoying enough that I decided to pay for the 30 hints/Remove Ads feature. The experience was great after that, until I completed all the levels and just got a "Congratulations" screen. There is no way to replay previous levels, which seems like a feature that should have been a no-brainer to add. This means my ad-removal investment has now reached the end of its value.

First off this is a fun puzzle game. It’d have gotten five stars except for one thing....the ads. I understand ads is how you make money (aside from the in game purchases), but it’s not the fact that there are ads, it’s the annoyance of the ads. When one appears, you can’t just click the x to close, you’re forced to interact a little with other games the developer makes. I’m all for selling your other games too, but these ads are just obnoxious. It’s so bad, I am going to just uninstall Blocks .

It seems like I’m the only one experiencing this but I am never able to move the bottom right piece for any exercise. When I try to select and move it to the board, the screen prompting me to buy “Hints” shows up. I’ve been lucky a few times where I’m eventually able to move that final piece onto the board, but it usually takes a while. I’m done trying. Otherwise it could have been a fun game.

The game is fun to play, but I’m hitting an issue where the bottom right piece can’t be selected. I know it’s because of the banner ad at the bottom occupying some of the space, and I do use ad blocking and tracking filtering on my home network*. This means I can’t solve puzzles so I’m only on 18 or so at this point.

Please fix this so the hints button that pops up and that piece don’t overlap.

*blocking will continue until ads and tracking improve

I don’t mind ads because I know that how you keep things free and I like to see ads for games I’ve never played. That being said, I don’t like it that the ads pop up when I’m trying to place a piece of the puzzle which interrupt my concentration. If you must have ads during game play, please scroll across the top or bottom as a banner. It is highly annoying to go to place a piece the everything disappears as it cuts away to an ad!!!

The game is very fun and powers my brain for a long day. this app is a good way to stretch you brain power. I highly recommend this game to any one who is okay with having to watch ads all the time. There is always ads and it gets extremely annoying. I would like to be able to play this game with out having to pay money to get rid of ads. I refuse to pay money just to get rid of ads just for a game. But other than that this game is fun.

I am a designer and work these puzzles for hours at a time, sometimes in the middle of the night. I think of it as a workout for my brain regarding spacial relationships. My only problem is when I finally complete a difficult one, I don’t get to look at it for a few seconds to relish my accomplishment because the screen completely closes up and moves to the next puzzle. I want the game developers to rework it so I can just look at it and study the unique way the shapes were joined. It’s a lot of fun!😉

I have a suggestion for a future version of Blocks. I am a Speech Pathologist working with adults after brain injuries and strokes. I use your app for visual scanning, processing, and problem solving. As I use Blocks with multiple patients, it would be nice to be able to go back to previous levels so that I may start over with each patient. I have found that not being able to go back leaves me completing advanced levels with patients I’m just starting out with. Thank you for your time.

Just reached level 1000, was looking forward to another 1000 levels and then I realized I reached the end! “More levels coming soon.”

To the developers: I would love the ability to go back and replay levels or just let my friends and family try a level for fun...it could even be as simple as a drop down menu :-P Anyway thanks for so much brain grub, looking forward to more levels, thank you!!!

I was able to jump right into playing this game with no tutorial and only a modest familiarity with tangrams in general. The graphics are streamlined and the palette consists of bright, cheerful colors. Puzzles start very easy but quickly advance to a level which is challenging, but not frustrating. Unlike some other tangram games, these puzzle pieces come in a great variety of shapes, and do not need to be rotated.

I absolutely love this game! Fun and works your brain! I tried to complete every level without using a hint which was hard at first but then became a game within a game. I only finished with 64 hints because in the beginning I used them and my kids would also play and use several on one puzzle. This is the only game I have played on my phone and I’m shocked and sad to know I finished it!! I didn’t realize that they ended😩

I downloaded this game at 4:00am one morning because I could not get back to sleep. I completed 200 levels in two days and have been addicted ever since. It is such an amazing exercise for my brain, and I play t whenever I am bored. I have completed all of the levels (~1500), and I will continue to complete the new ones as they come! I love Blocks so much, and I am sure you will, too. If the ads annoy you, just flip your phone into airplane mode! I love this game. IT. IS. SO. AMAZING.❤️

My focus suffers greatly sometimes because of Multiple Sclerosis. I was diagnosed with MS more than 20 years ago. Maybe because I enjoy the challenge of this game or something, I don't know ... but ... it seems to me that I am able to force my brain to keep my concentration going longer, at least long enough until I can find all the solutions that
I can.

Thank You for a great therapeutic game!

I enjoy this game so much, I play it every day. I like the colors and the challenge. I am hoping that new levels are continually added. I tell everyone I can about this app because it’s fun and good for improving spatial relationships. It would be nice to view the completed puzzle for a short while if desired. Sometimes after I’ve worked out a tough puzzle, I hold a piece back and look at my accomplishment for a few seconds. Thanks for creating my favorite game!

Just downloaded Blocks last week. Been having a swell time ever since! If I can’t get it right off the bat, I step back for a moment, change my focus. After this I seem to have fresh ideas and jump right back in where I left off and I’m good to go, as it were! That’s win-win for me!
Gotta wrap up this review as I want to get back to playing!

Awesome puzzle game. Exactly what I was looking for. They do a lot of puzzles on the show, The Challenge and there’s just not really any apps or games to practice them. Well, not any that are worth a darn. I wish it showed how long and possibly made it multiplayer, with the ability to compete somehow. That would be awesome. Maybe have it part of the Apple Arcade!! 😍😍

I’m happy to see this game. Im Duluth Minnesota and I’m disability and I have therapy 2x a week with a walker and wheelchair. I also have had several surgeries and I have problems with my memory. This makes me happy and thankful that I enjoy the games. I can’t drive and work with this problem with this. I spend my time with my iPad with free games. Wish I can get more free hints to get free.

Thank You 🙏🏼

this app is so much fun. I love puzzles and I get to sharpen my spacial organization. I have dyslexia and it may give me an advantage in moving shapes to complete the puzzles.

I wish the completed puzzle would stay on the screen a moment longer. The puzzles are beautiful geometric designs and I’d like a moment to appreciate the genius of the puzzle, this game is very satisfying.

Highly addictive, challenging, amazing and fun to play. Once you start playing, it’s difficult to put it down. I love that it automatically keeps track of the last level played. Unlike other games, my granddaughter cannot pick it up and lose the level I left off playing!

I am up to level 1935 and am not bored at all. Some tangrams are baffling and need you to take a hint while others are easy. This is a great brain workout. The most challenging ones are interspersed with more solvable ones. If they were all too tough then what would be the fun! I have 115 accrued hints so far. Today I hit level 2;240 and it said I completed the game with more levels coming soon. I hope very soon as this is my favorite app. I finished the regular puzzles quite a while ago but still get daily ones which I enjoy too. It’s July 2023 and the game has added more new levels. This is my favorite app game as it’s challenging and fun👍👍👍👍
