Doesn't work on phone. I prefer no lives. So if I misclick I don't have to start over. Very hard on phone. Would LOVE more puzzles. And for users: Play on AIRPLANE mode. Or you'll deal with annoying ads. ### 4/5 — Small font *2021-08-30, version 2.1.0* Enjoyable game but the font on the genius games is too small - an option to increase it would be helpful for those of us with poorer eyesight. ### 4/5 — Fun game *2021-03-13, version 2.0.5* Wish you would update this app and give us more levels beat all 107 levels and saying common soon but hasn't in a while ### 3/5 — At Times Frustrating *2021-01-05, version 2.0.5* I really enjoy this game, however there are a few issues. With the color puzzles it’s sometimes hard to differentiate similar colors as well as some of the colors are not available to choose. Also if you play the challenge be prepared to only be able to do one month until an update is completed which could be months. As soon as the new month starts there’s an error message saying to update the app however there is no available update. ### 2/5 — I monthly update in 3 months *2020-12-07, version 2.0.4* I was waiting to see how many days would go by before they updated the monthly puzzle, but nothing in 3 months now. I’m upset about this because it’s part of my daily game playing, but getting tired of looking everyday for nothing ### 2/5 — Good game but... *2020-10-25, version 2.0.4* I greatly enjoy this game. However, i am disappointed that there has not been an October update and October is almost over 😒 ### 4/5 — Good puzzles *2020-10-10, version 2.0.4* The puzzles are good. The big ones are a bit too hard to see and tap on a phone screen. The Challenge has been saying I need to update the app but I have the latest version. ### 4/5 — Did enjoy! Now not so much *2020-10-09, version 2.0.4* I loved this game but I’ve completed all the levels and the daily puzzle for the month of October still hasn’t been released. Releasing the month long daily challenge on the 1st of the month would a good idea and adding in some more puzzles would greatly improve the game ### 2/5 — Release Monthly Updates on Time! *2020-10-08, version 2.0.4* This app is generally great, but it needs more total puzzles in each difficulty. Also, if you’re going to have 1/3 of the app devoted to a puzzle that releases daily, you MUST release the monthly updates ON TIME!! Today is 10/8, and the October update still hasn't released. It’s a bad move for the app because it greatly reduces your ad revenue, plus it’s really annoying for the players, because there’s nothing to do since no new always available puzzles are ever added either. ### 4/5 — One glitch *2020-10-07, version 2.0.4* On the daily challenge it Keeps telling me to update app but when I try it just opens. I love the app, just this one glitch! ### 4/5 — Best game but needs more pictures *2020-07-16, version 2.0.0* Plz make more pictures I really love this game! ### 4/5 — Still a great game, but... *2020-07-15, version 2.0.0* What happened to all the missing stuff? All of the old daily challenges have been replaced, and all my progress on the big pictures is gone! I appreciate the visual update, but a lot changed. Also there is no March 2020 for the daily challenges. ### 4/5 — Gotten better *2020-07-05, version 1.0.19* I reviewed this game a while ago and since then the developers have fix my main concern, the lack of music. Now the game feels a lot more welcoming and enjoyable. Keep up the good work. ### 2/5 — Plays random songs. *2020-05-04, version 1.0.18* Every time I solve a puzzle, it starts playing a song from my playlist? How can I stop this? ### 2/5 — Buggy *2020-04-14, version 1.0.16* Starts playing my phone music after every single game... pretty annoying ### 3/5 — Like the app but.... *2020-04-09, version 1.0.16* Good app but why does it keep accessing my music? Can’t work out how to stop it. Any advice it there? Thanks ### 4/5 — Love the game, except for one thing... *2020-04-05, version 1.0.16* EVERYTIME I complete a puzzle and am presented with the pop up with a green button to continue to the next puzzle in the pack, my app somehow starts to play my music from my phone?? It will stop my Spotify/playlist that I am listening to, and begin to play a random song from my music library. Very annoying, but nevertheless, I love the app! ### 4/5 — Love it, but needs more game play options *2020-03-29, version 1.0.16* I love this game, I especially love the color puzzles, it’s been hard to find a really good app for color nonograms, that doesn’t require you to purchase anything. That being said though I really dislike the life function when making a mistake in the game, it’s especially frustrating when you accidentally click the wrong square or you forget to switch colors, please make an option to switch the auto check off so that we can fix mistakes on our own, also add an option to auto cross completed rows please, thank you! ### 4/5 — Fun! It is my favorite game. *2020-03-20, version 1.0.14* I want to give it 5 stars but I can’t. It’s to hard to distinguish some of the colors. I am over 60 and yes I wear no line bifocals, but the colors are so close I make to many mistakes on a few of them. The black and the dark gray on the Accessories catagory the 17th puzzle and the blues on the 23rd puzzle. That’s just Two. I have had problems with others also. The colored puzzles are my favorite. Please make the colors easier to distinguish. ### 4/5 — One of the best *2020-02-29, version 1.0.13* I’ve been playing Nonograms for quite some time and in the past there wasn’t that many apps to find. Recently they’ve gained popularity and I’ve tried pretty much any that I’ve came across. This is one of the best I’ve played and has replaced most of the others I’ve tried. I especially enjoy the color puzzles. However, there are some cons. One of the biggest is there is a major glitch with the music. Even with music & sound turned off in the settings, the music can randomly start playing after an ad. Also, you can mute most ads, but they start with sound. If I’m listening to something else or don’t have my sound muted, this is a problem. There is another issue where the bottom row of most color puzzles isn’t spaced correctly. Some of the colored puzzles are very difficult to differentiate similar colors. Just as a preference of mine, I don’t enjoy the life system. On the larger grid puzzles (which I prefer) I like to use x’s to plot out the spaces to fill. Finally, more puzzles would be great. 😁 ### 4/5 — Fun to do in spare time *2020-01-09, version 1.0.10* I really like doing this in my down time or when I just feel like procrastinating. But one little thing that bothers me is when I’m playing the game it just shuts off my music in the background, and there no option to turn off the sound of the game. Also on the daily puzzles I think there may be some mess up, where one of the puzzles is missing, so the daily puzzle you’re doing is actually the puzzle you solved for the day before. Other than that it’s a great game! ### 3/5 — Noise *2019-12-28, version 1.0.10* Cannot stand the music and no way to turn it off without muting ALL sounds on my device. PITA!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Please fix *2020-12-28, version 2.0.5* It keeps crashing and it won’t load I’ve tried everything please fix the game 😩 ### 1/5 — Where is the update *2020-10-20, version 2.0.4* It is October 20th and you still haven’t updated the daily challenges. It’s kind of hard to enjoy this app if I cannot play it ### 1/5 — Weird bug, and feedback won't send. *2020-04-14, version 1.0.16* I was enjoying this game but every time I finish a picture when the pop up to congratulate me comes up it starts playing a random song from my music on my iPhone! If I am listening to podcasts it SHUTS OFF THE PODCAST and starts up something random from my playlist. I tried to send feedback but it never activates the send button so I am not sure how else to reach someone about this issue. Is there a way to turn this off in the app? If not I will delete it because it is extremely frustrating. ### 1/5 — Payment coming out weekly. *2020-03-25, version 1.0.15* I have payment come out weekly for no ads. This needs to stop now. ### 1/5 — Not what was advertised *2020-01-06, version 1.0.10* The only reason I downloaded this, instead of any of the hundreds of other similar apps, was because is said there were color puzzles. I do not see this option anywhere. There is also no option to change the level of difficulty. ### 1/5 — Can’t erase and .... *2019-12-14, version 1.0.9* You can’t erase and make mistakes??? Horrible. The way I figure out the puzzles is to map out the possible places to color and erase the wrongs ones after. You can’t do that in this app. And where are the color puzzles??? Get rid of the lives option and let us make mistakes. My fingers are too big not to make any. Doesn’t make sense at all. Deleting the app ### 1/5 — Bad lives system *2019-10-17, version 1.0.4* The nonograms themselves are pretty good. The bad thing is you only get 3 lives, which makes it incredibly difficult to enjoy. As most of the players are on mobile, the combined lag and inaccurate/accidental tapping can be very frustrating. Additionally, there are way too many non-skippable 30 second ads. If you’re going to play an ad every time I finish a game, at least make them a bit shorter. ### 1/5 — Okay *2019-10-15, version 1.0.4* It was ok, had good and challenging puzzles but it lagged making it difficult to accurately do anything. ### 1/5 — Truly dreadful *2019-09-02, version 1.0.2* The grid doesn’t fully display on the screen and you cannot move or zoom in/out - just totally unplayable Avoid at all costs ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2019-08-30, version 1.0.2* i love games like this and was really excited to play this one but having the ability to only make 3 mistakes per round is frustrating because you can’t do it perfectly the first time. it would be perfect if they didn’t have that ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Puzzles and events *2021-10-07, version 2.1.0* Needs more puzzles and needs events with a clocks showing how long is left. ### 5/5 — Updates PLEASE *2021-04-08, version 2.0.5* I am out of puzzles. Please update. ### 5/5 — The Best *2020-07-14, version 1.0.19* I’ve tried many Nonograms app games and found this one to be the best! You give different option game types and the pics are really cool!! Thanks for giving me hours of fun 😄 Joy ### 5/5 — Complete game. *2019-12-19, version 1.0.9* Everything about this game is decent. In other words, this is an agreeable one. I really like to play it. ### 5/5 — Good going. *2019-12-13, version 1.0.9* With great features and design the app is doing very well. I just love it. ### 5/5 — Beautiful game. *2019-12-13, version 1.0.9* I have to say a beautiful app developed by a team of talented designers. Very cool one. ### 5/5 — Lovable *2019-12-04, version 1.0.8* I really love to play this. Griddler puzzles are interesting ones. I would strongly advocate it. ### 5/5 — LOVE the color ones *2019-12-02, version 1.0.8* Found this after finishing another Nonogram app. When I got to the colored ones, I was stumped. Quick YouTube tutorial and I was off and running. Finished ALL of them over Thanksgiving weekend. Literally ALL of them. Now I need MORE!!!!! Will there be more? Please give me more! My only complaint is the autocorrection. Please make this a feature that we can turn off/on. I hate it. I want to figure out my own mistakes, even if I have to start from scratch. I hate that it immediately tells me the correct answer for a square if I’m wrong. And, please give me more. ### 5/5 — Nonograms *2019-11-25, version 1.0.8* Love the game!!! Please bring more levels!!!!! ### 5/5 — Correcting myself, brilliant game if nanongran is what you’re looking for *2019-10-29, version 1.0.5* I said the game needed one little update with the easy levels showing you the picture but stupidly commented on the game before playing more and it’s only the easy ones that have this which is completely understandable, if you want a good Nonogram game that looks nice, plays nice and gives you good variety then this is the app to go with, brilliant job guys even when I look online for nonogram games for my laptop they’re never as good as this app and trust me I’ve been through pages and pages trying to find them, one thing could be added though and that just an option to edit the number or square you have. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
