iPhone App - Designed for iPhone, compatible with iPad

If you're looking for a way to improve your spatial reasoning skills then look no further than Pictorial.

The app is designed to challenge users to solve geometrical puzzles by rotating objects. You use the touchscreen to rotate constellations until they are upright and create an object. You'll come across numerous different shapes, including stars, houses, animals and more. There are two different themes in the game, including Night City and Arctic, and the game's developer promises more are coming soon.

"Spatial reasoning is a common part of intelligence tests, pre-employment tests and admission tests to certain educations," Pictorial's developer says about the app. "Also spatial reasoning is generally regarded as one of the most basic reasoning abilities together with verbal reasoning, logical reasoning, numerical reasoning and abstract reasoning.

Some constellations are simple while others are quite challenging. But the game has a "help" feature that rotates constellations for you, revealing the true shape of the object.

Pictorial is available for free on the iTunes App Store and is compatible with the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. Check out a preview trailer of the app below.
