It’s a lot of fun. I think I’m a fool for subscribing though. I can restore purchase time after time and it doesn’t apply. It may once then work for a few days then it’ll default back to the non-subscribers status. You go to restore purchase and it says successful but it doesn’t work. Also, it didn’t sync well between devices. I play mostly on my phone. When I try to play on my iPad I’ll have to replay some levels. It also doesn’t sync up purchases or any of the season passes you purchase despite using the same account. ### 3/5 — Game is good. *2025-07-17, version 2.9.7* The game is good. It is a little tough if you would benefit from zooming closer in small sections so the boxes in those areas are easier to access, to make the boxes larger so shaky hands and large fingers don’t hit wrong boxes by mistake ### 4/5 — Good game but there is a bug with the audio *2024-06-12, version 2.7.9* There is a bug where after a video ad plays, the audio in the game stops working. The only way to get audio back after that is to restart the game. Please fix this! ### 4/5 — how to use energy points *2023-11-16, version 2.6.7* Could someone please inform me how to use the energy points at the top? I’ve looked in all the settings, and buttons and i can’t find anything. Not sure what to do, id like to use up the 188/14 energy points i have! ### 3/5 — Needs work *2023-07-13, version 2.5.5* My main issue is that it’s so hard to press the correct square when they’re very small, maybe have a zoom in feature? ### 3/5 — Don’t buy AD FREE *2023-07-04, version 2.5.5* Love this game and recently bought the ad free version. All this did was disallow me from watching ads to get another chance. There are zero options except to pay using your coins that don’t add up that quickly. I thought it was going to just get rid of the ads between games not give me zero options when there is an extremely difficult puzzle. Wish I wouldn’t have bought ad free. ### 2/5 — Too many ads, too small a grid *2023-06-18, version 2.5.3* Once you get to the 15-square puzzles it’s almost impossible to do on your phone. And the ads go on forever before you can x out of them. Getting a different version ### 3/5 — Worst ads *2023-06-12, version 2.5.3* Dragonscape ad does not close so when that ad comes up I have to end the game. Super annoying! ### 4/5 — Great but I have some questions *2023-06-10, version 2.5.3* I love this game but I’m not sure what the lightning is used for? ### 4/5 — Love the game but… *2023-04-28, version 2.4.4* I love this game and enjoy using it to de stress. However whenever it’s time to update the app it ALWAYS seems to forget that I have turned off life limits. No matter how many times I toggle the option and/or close the app and re-open it those dreaded three hearts show up again. I pay for VIP to avoid this and it’s frustrating being forced to start over again and again ### 3/5 — A little frustrated *2023-04-12, version 2.4.2* I thoroughly enjoy this game and have for a very long time. So much that I paid for less ads and occasionally buy the golden ticket,HOWEVER the gold coin price to get three more chances has gone up from 250 to 900?!?!!! AND I the option to watch a video for three more chances has been taken away almost entirely, so you either start over or pay the increased price of 900 coins!!! This is ridiculous! And huge jump in price! I wish I didn’t love playing this game so much because it makes me so angry, but I thought my opinion needed to be heard!! ### 2/5 — Latest update *2023-04-08, version 2.4.2* I love the game but haven't been able to play it. It keeps greeting stuck on the main screen saying loading resources. ### 2/5 — Too easy *2023-03-29, version 2.4.2* It’s a cute game but there’s absolutely no challenge to it. For me it’s way to easy and every puzzle can be solved in about 10 seconds. You also receive coins for completing levels but no where to spend them so they’re pointless. For a newbie with nonograms this is good practice but otherwise I wouldn’t recommend it. ### 2/5 — Ugh *2023-03-12, version 2.4.1* I got this from commercial and it was showing that you need to do pieces and then you will get the whole picture… when I downloaded it just have simple ugly cubes in results and when you make them they will add on the picture some stuff… I hate when there is a lie about app, why should I even spend money to fools other people when you post another commercial… 🤮 ### 2/5 — Too many ads that take too long. *2023-02-22, version 2.4.1* Like mainstream media more ads than play. ### 4/5 — game not good anymore *2023-02-19, version 2.4.1* when i first downloaded this game i couldn’t stop playing it during summer but now i don’t like it because you guys got rid of the “watch a video to get three lives” thing. now i have to get rid of all my coins to win the levels. ### 3/5 — TOO MANY ADS!!!! *2023-02-12, version 2.4.0* I know I can pay for them, but still I do not see that it is necessary after every puzzle, the need for an ad! It’s frustrating! ### 2/5 — I used to play this daily *2023-02-09, version 2.4.0* I quite enjoy these style of puzzles and would play daily for a quick game. However, as of recently I have received multiple messages from my iPhone saying, “Nonogram wants to open Borrowell”. I don’t know why a game would want to open an app that tracks my credit score. Needless to say, I got very weirded out that I kept getting that message, even though I clicked on “close” every time. After it happened several times within the span of 4 hours, I deleted the app. I don’t need this game to access my credit information. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — VIP *2026-04-27, version 2.9.12* Payed for vip because of the promise of unlimited lives. Tried renewal although I had just bought it. Didn’t work. Ripoff. ### 1/5 — Flawed *2025-12-29, version 2.9.11* This game is addicting. It’s a lot of fun. I think I’m a fool for subscribing though. I can restore purchase time after time and it doesn’t apply. It may once then work for a few days then it’ll default back to the non-subscribers status. You go to restore purchase and it says successful but it doesn’t work. Also, it didn’t sync well between devices. I play mostly on my phone. When I try to play on my iPad I’ll have to replay some levels. It also doesn’t sync up purchases or any of the season passes you purchase despite using the same account. I canceled my subscription. Good bye. ### 1/5 — Nonogram fans avoid this game *2024-04-28, version 2.7.7* Game contains puzzles where they are not able to be logically solved. Avoid this game ### 1/5 — Not recommended *2023-11-12, version 2.6.7* Really frustrating and some levels are just based off of luck. I don't understand one of the levels that is where the total is 3 blocks on top column and 1 on bottom column, but it says I must fill in 8. Tutorial honestly doesn't help at all. ### 1/5 — One Ad *2023-05-11, version 2.4.4* One Ad was all it took to make me delete this game. Loved this game, then about a week ago, this ad popped up for ASMR Doctor or something like that. TOTALLY DISGUSTING. I ignored it for awhile, but won’t do it anymore. I will never download this or any of their other apps again because of that one ad. I know ads are necessary, it wasn’t that it was an ad, but what the ad was… ### 1/5 — Constantly crashes on older iPad *2023-05-01, version 2.4.4* Continues to crash mid-game. My iPad is older, but this game isn’t that graphically complex and still claims to be compatible. ### 1/5 — Ads still happen even after paying *2022-12-19, version 2.3.2* I keep getting redirected to the App Store for gambling apps even after I paid for no ads. ### 1/5 — Deleting due to impassible ads *2022-08-15, version 2.2.2* So. This was fun and the ads were tolerable. But now there’s a “tap to kill zombies” ad that doesn’t come up with the x to close it. Done. ### 1/5 — Unwinnable *2022-08-13, version 2.2.2* The 20x20 grid is so small you will get eye strain and you will make mistakes, making the game borderline unplayable. Find another game. ### 1/5 — Game does not work *2022-08-10* I downloaded the game and it won’t load past the first screen, i deleted the app and reinstalled and it still wont load past the loading screen. help please ! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — love!! *2024-09-03, version 2.8.3* I’ve been looking for a good nonogram game and I tend to be picky about the gameplay/functions of it and this game checks off everything I want! I love the progression and how you get to do puzzles in order complete a large image. I’m a collector so I find it very satisfying to look back at the completed photos I’ve done in the gallery. I hope more people play this game and support it, I’m recommending it to all my friends who also love doing nonograms! :-D ### 5/5 — Thank you ❤️ *2024-04-09, version 2.7.6* Tyvm for fixing the continue button issue. ### 5/5 — The best puzzle game *2024-01-11, version 2.6.9* This game is hands down the best. I have been playing daily for over 2 years. It says 9999+ levels but that an understatement. There’s daily challenges plus like 150+ game packs which come with 200+ levels each, plus they have the actual levels, which I’m on level 1500 something, and it doesn’t seem to end. If you want a game forever you need this game! ### 5/5 — Quality Fun *2023-11-21, version 2.6.7* Good game that lets you get better over time. I wish it would have tournaments like it displays in the app but I can never seem to find them. ### 5/5 — Sound bug *2023-06-14, version 2.5.3* Sound just randomly cuts out, but makes a weird, but correct sound briefly when adjusting the volume on my phone. Very annoying when the sound cuts out. Other than that 10/10 ### 5/5 — favorite app *2023-03-08, version 2.4.1* this is my favorite app. in one month i will have had it for a year, and this game never fails to entertain me. i still find some puzzles challenging, although i am improving as a player. not only is this game fun, it runs smoothly and has haptics and sounds that can be turned off (although i quite enjoy them). overall, it is safe to say i love nonogram and would recommend it. ### 5/5 — Levels??? *2022-11-05, version 2.3.1* Is thawed gonna be more levels??? I’m at 4801 and it says I’m at the end. I absolutely love this game and if that’s the end imma be so sad ### 5/5 — Missing coins *2022-10-25, version 2.3.1* Be careful purchasing additional coins because I just purchased some and did not receive them but they surely charged my card ### 5/5 — Need bigger squares or zoom!!! *2022-08-06, version 2.2.2* Please make the squares bigger for phones!!! Or give a zoom option!!! I keep messing up and loosing lives because i cant tap properly where i want on the larger 20x20 boards ### 5/5 — Obsessed! *2022-07-09, version 2.1.3* I love to play this game while listening to podcasts or YouTube videos. It’s easy and thoughtless. Ads aren’t too in-your-face because unlike similar apps, they don’t pop up in the middle of a puzzle. I’ve probably completed hundreds of puzzles in the short amount of time I’ve had the app, it’s so addicting. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
