Ratings and Reviews
Great
Awesome
Doesn’t fit?!
The shapes do not fit together like actual pattern blocks should. Two white rhombus would usually make a perfect 60 degree angle that would fit a triangle or blue rhombus perfectly. They do not, and this makes it very difficult to piece them together. It is very disappointing, given that you have to pay for this app.
Fun for kids
My 9 & 13 yr olds sat and played with the app for quite a while. While real pattern blocks are preferred this app will be a good addition for those times we are not at home, need to wait for a sibling, etc.
Plus: while you might run out of space to place blocks you won't run out of your needed shape!
Rotating the figures was a little frustrating and it will be interesting to see how the 5 yr old copes with that.
