### 4/5 — Extra daily puzzles

*2022-08-19, version 3.7.13*

How do I get the extra daily puzzles. Clicking to watch a video goes nowhere

### 4/5 — Good, but sync feature does not work

*2021-11-17, version 3.7.8*

The graphics and UI are very well done and there are plenty of puzzles to keep you entertained. I just wish the sync feature worked since I like to play on both ipad and iPhone. Each time I load the app on either device I get a message about cloud sync settings have changed but the state is never transferred from one device to the other. Would love to see that get fixed.

### 4/5 — I wanted to like this game

*2016-08-15, version 3.4.6*

I WANTED to like this game, but the paradigm shift from every other griddler/nonogram/picross I've played of an "X" meaning a square is FILLED made my brain hurt too much to continue. If you don't have a lot of experience with these types of games, you'll probably enjoy this!
N.b. If the game offered the ability to switch (so that an "X" meant a square was NOT filled), I would definitely give it another go.

### 2/5 — Nothing to do with picross imo

*2016-04-10, version 3.4.3*

There are no pictures to be solved just random dots on the screen. All puzzles need to be solved at lightning speed otherwise you won't get enough stars to buy new puzzle packs and the adds are very intrusive. Could be so much better.

### 4/5 — Cool but disappointed

*2016-01-04, version 3.2.3*

I love the daily nonograms! Very sad that since the new year they haven't been loading 😞 Hope that there's a fix in the works!

### 2/5 — Not as good as other Nonogram apps

*2015-11-05, version 3.2.2*

With most nonogram apps you can figure out one line at a time and take your time. This app you have to be able to see the big 'picture' (which isn't even a picture) all at once in order to complete it, and in order to get 3 stars you have to do it in only a couple seconds (although it does let you replay over and over to get a chance for that).  Also, the app did crashed fairly often in the half hour I used it.

Overall, this app is okay, but there are better ones out there, including an older app called NonogramZ that actually makes pictures with it and has colour options and Christmas themed.

### 5/5 — Addictive!

*2015-10-13, version 3.2.1*

Can't put it down. Not getting any work done at work... :/

### 5/5 — Love love nono

*2015-09-09, version 3.2*

Yes yes to nono! I play every day!

### 5/5 — Love it....Wish

*2015-06-03, version 3.1*

Wish you could have new puzzles added twice a day.  So I could solve while having coffee in the am and the while on lunch break.

### 4/5 — Great but

*2015-04-18, version 3.0*

I'm used to timers in picross games and sudoku but having it also tied into a three star system makes it feel completely rushed. I enjoy zoning out in these types of puzzles and felt unable to because of that. Having said that, this is by Far the best user interface of any of the picross games on iOS. The look is crisp, clean, and professional. The others that I've played have just looked kinda hokey and the ui terrible.

### 1/5 — Long Ads (30-second) Mess up the Game!

*2024-09-18, version 3.7.16*

9/18: It happened again!! Why do I have the feeling that you’re ignoring your users and simply are no longer reading these messages?!?

Two weeks later, this is still happening!! Can you please fix this?!? Whenever a full ad plays (not the usual 5-second variety) I have to restart my iPhone. This is annoying!! Please fix this!! I would hate to have to delete this game which I have enjoyed for years! This is STILL HAPPENING!! 1 month later: STILL HAPPENING!! What’s going on over there?!? Another month and it has happened THREE TIMES in the last 24 hours!! A suggestion from a user: maybe don’t be so greedy and don’t opt for the looooong ads. Your system runs fine on short ads! Not at all on the long ones!! A disappointed user who has had it up to here!!

### 1/5 — Bad update

*2020-07-09, version 3.7.2*

I updated the game recently and had to remove it from my phone as it was staying the battery really fast. Very disappointed. Also would like to suggest you add a way to flag puzzles that aren't correct or at least aren't showing all the numbers which make them hard to complete.

### 1/5 — Bugs

*2016-11-29, version 3.4.7*

There is a bug in the app that takes away the stars you've earned. Very disappointing to make so much progress and not be able to continue due to the bug.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2016-03-17, version 3.4.2*

Have gone to intrusive ads, even after paying for no ads. Don't waste your money!

### 5/5 — Genius puzzle game!

*2023-11-07, version 3.7.16*

Can you the 14 daily puzzles in 10 minutes or less?

### 5/5 — Favorite

*2021-12-05, version 3.7.8*

I really like that you changed the stars for Halloween and fall. Hope you do this for other holidays

### 5/5 — The best!

*2019-11-08, version 3.6.8*

This game is the best.  Easy to learn, fun and addictive.  It ranges from easy to challenging.  It’s my must-do puzzle every morning.  My goal used to be to simply solve each puzzle, but as I’ve gotten better, I now find myself trying to solve puzzles either under one minute or under two minutes for the more challenging puzzles.  I’ve tried other sites but this one has perfected the play experience.  As a bonus, it’s good for your brain.

### 5/5 — Great app, great support!

*2018-10-12, version 3.6.3*

I love this app, I have spent more time playing it than any other game for months now! I contacted the developer with a small issue and shortly after, he rolled out an update fixing it. Super support!

### 5/5 — 😍

*2017-04-23, version 3.5.1*

I love this app.  I never get tired of playing.

### 5/5 — Love it!!!! Get it!!!!

*2016-09-27, version 3.4.6*

Awesome app. Do it everyday! Free!!!!! Need I say more?  :)

### 5/5 — The Best crossed number game

*2016-07-28, version 3.4.6*

I tried a lot of crossed number games and this is the only one I have continued playing.  It doesn't have the fancy graphics that some have, but it has the best game play.  The numbers are easy to read and the boxes are big enough that I don't accidentally press the wrong one. If I make a mistake it lets me fix it and lets me figure out where the mistake is, instead of immediately showing me the mistake or making me start the game over the way some number games do.  It tells me how much time it took to do a puzzle and if my time has improved.  It tells me if I have finished a puzzle within its time goal, but doesn't insist that I finish a puzzle within a goal time in order to continue the game.  The game is free to play if you watch commercials, but you can skip the commercial after the first few seconds.

### 5/5 — Good game

*2016-05-21, version 3.4.4*

Easy interface and no need to pay. Solid game.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2016-04-28, version 3.4.4*

Fun game, although the ads are getting rather annoying. I listen to podcasts while playing, and sometimes the game won't let me play my audio at the same time.

### 5/5 — Fun game, achievements unattainable

*2016-01-04, version 3.2.3*

I love the game. I love having achievements , but not enough ways to actually attain them. Cannot get enough puzzles to complete it, I have even purchased packs and it is not counting those puzzles completed.
