They don’t have a ton of free ones you can play and there’s a ton of ads but they’re short. My main issue is that the game runs progressively slower over time to the point that it is lagging for multiple seconds by the time I am playing my second game. My phone over heats too. I am on an iPhone 12 Pro max so it’s not like my phone is some ancient and out of date model. It doesn’t even make sense to me that it makes my phone work so hard. It’s not like it’s a graphics heavy game and it shouldn’t need to use a bunch of my phone’s resources to run a simple Nonogram. ### 3/5 — It’s a decent game *2021-06-10, version 6.2* The game itself is fun for when you’re bored. There are a lot of ads though and it’s annoying when you just go to open a game and have to watch a 30 second ad before you can do anything ### 4/5 — Relaxing and yet requires brain power *2021-05-13, version 6.1* I am enjoying this game quite a bit. My only complaint is that on an ‘event’ I’m working on; I have worked a puzzle 3 times, there appears to be no other result, and it shows I’m 100% finished with it, but it won’t clear. I cannot find a way to contact someone to help me fix it. Otherwise, a great way to relax! ### 4/5 — Interesting App *2021-05-08, version 6.1* Interesting ### 2/5 — 🤔🤔 *2021-01-25, version 5.5* Really enjoy this game. They recently updated it so that you have to use diamonds to play levels which is fine. The major issue is that you only get 10 diamonds to play with, making this useless unless you are a VIP. Majority of the levels cost 8 or more diamonds, so we can only play 1 level every hour or so?? Also the daily reward does not work. I am only able to collect day 1 rewards each time even though I “login” every single day. ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2021-01-20, version 5.5* The only problem is that you can not get out of the end screen when you finish a puzzle. 👍🏻 ### 3/5 — Freezes. Have to restart phone. *2021-01-17, version 5.4* Good puzzles and I like the auto fill feature but when I tap to recent my reward, the app freezes and I have to restart my phone to continue play. This doesn’t happen with any other game apps and it is frequent enough that I’m ready to uninstall this game. ### 4/5 — New update is problematic *2021-01-08, version 5.2* Enjoy this game! Like that blanks are filled in automatically when you fill in all the squares on a row. BUT the new update glitches and I have to exit the app every time I finish a puzzle. Also, not happy that EVERY puzzle now costs diamonds to play. ### 3/5 — Bugs *2021-01-04, version 5.1* I’ve played this game for quite a long time. My daily rewards don’t add up and I collect day one rewards every single day. Clicking on The New Year’s Event locks the app and I have to force close in order to escape. There’s several other apps similar to this, and the bugs don’t exist in those apps. Also, the ads are excessive in comparison to other Nonogram apps that are free to play. ### 4/5 — Overall entertaining *2020-12-27, version 5.1* I enjoy playing this game and I have completed all the events except for the a Thanksgiving event. I was never able to get the event to open. Every time I click on the Thanksgiving event, the game freezes and I have to shut the game down. Other times, the game is very slow. I have excellent internet connections and I keep my devices updated and cookies cleared. So, none of the problems I’m having are on my end. ### 2/5 — Stopped Running *2020-11-07, version 4.7* I’ve been playing this game for over a year but months ago the app would not open after an upgrade. Only got a blank screen. Hoped a future upgrade would resolve but still not working after a couple of upgrades. So frustrating. ### 2/5 — Don’t like the new format. *2020-09-09, version 4.0* Really dislike the new layout of the game board. It feels like the boxes are even smaller and the lines seem to run together. Bring back the old layout. This one if difficult to see and annoying. It’s made me switch to a different app, but I would definitely come back. Before the change my rating would be a 4 out of 5. It was great but I didn’t like having to use coins for most of the puzzles and I’ve already used up all the ones there so I wish there were more new ones than the daily. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 有bug *2023-01-25, version 6.4* 有的关卡明明完成了 就是不出奖励 ### 1/5 — More diamonds *2022-04-17* We should be able to use the coins to buy diamonds. ### 1/5 — Riven with adverts *2021-02-12, version 5.7* Riven, I tell you ### 1/5 — HOW or WHY can’t I contact the developers for help!? *2021-01-10, version 5.2* I will be more than happy to give this app 5 stars, however with the most recent update I ambeing charged "3 diamonds " (?!?) even though I just recently paid $49.99 for the annual VIP membership!? PLEASE RESOOND & explain to me WHY I have to pay for these games when I did not have to before the recent update)? ### 1/5 — Event puzzles no longer free with subscription *2021-01-09, version 5.2* Event puzzles are no longer free with my monthly subscription after the last upgrade. Please correct ASAP. ### 1/5 — Update *2020-09-03, version 4.0* This update is terrible! I hate the new format. It makes it near impossible to play ### 1/5 — No. *2020-08-16, version 3.9* Do not download this game. - Serves up constant ads (I pressed the Settings button and was shown an ad before the menu) - You cannot make any mistakes. Meaning, you cannot accidentally tap in a square with the wrong marker selected (a filled square or a cross to close the square) without losing a “life”. - You have 3 lives and if you make 3 mistakes you need to spend gold to get more lives. A single life costs waaay too much gold. - So so many ads. And there’s the audacity to make the close button super tiny. - Tons of the 5 star reviews are fake. ### 1/5 — Fake *2019-09-26, version 1.2* Fake puzzle. ### 2/5 — Too many ads, Limited free puzzles *2025-06-07, version 7.3* I have had this game for at least a year and will no longer tolerate the many ads that appear to claim the daily prize, start the daily puzzle, finish the daily puzzle, and finish special event puzzles. After completing puzzles, people are supposed to have the option to double their earnings by watching an ad. However, the ad played even when choosing to not watch the ad for double their earnings prize. While there are some free puzzles for each difficulty level, it is easy to finish them quickly leaving only the paid puzzles remaining (aside from the free daily puzzle). The special event puzzles are paid with different prices. It is also easy to spend all free game currency on the paid puzzles. Users who choose not to spend real money on game currency can easily spend game currency on paid puzzles faster than earning prizes on completed puzzles, even with choosing to watch ads for double the rewards. Play knowing the downsides on this app. ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2025-05-02, version 7.3* Anytime you get into the app you are bombarded by ads and then once you choose to draw a picture the same thing happens. This is a fun game and I like it but there needs to be less ads. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-05-16, version 7.0* This game is entertaining and usually i dont do reviews on games i play but this one is very entertaining and fun ### 5/5 — good game *2021-03-26, version 5.9* i love this game it’s so fun def recommend ### 5/5 — Fun *2021-03-17, version 5.9* I’m very fun and challenging game and they don’t overdo it with the ads ### 5/5 — Enjoyable *2021-01-08, version 5.2* And challenging ### 5/5 — Great *2020-12-24, version 5.0* Fantastic game so far!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Love it *2020-12-01, version 5.0* It’s great!! ### 5/5 — Fun *2020-11-08, version 4.7* I keep this for pure fun. ### 5/5 — Great but money makes it lose its charm straight away. *2020-07-29, version 3.6* Very well made, fun to play but asking for $9.99 a month is ridiculous and greedy. I'm playing the free 3 day trial. Although I love this game, in no way am I paying that amount per month when there are so many similar games for free. I would be happy to pay perhaps £2 p/m (I'm in the UK), as I do understand the developers need to me a living, but the price as set is just a joke. Really excellent game though, fun to play, colourful and entertaining. Please lower the subscription price!! ### 5/5 — Best Nonogram app I’ve used *2020-07-24, version 3.6* I like this one because it automatically puts the x’s in when you’ve filled in all the squares. Also, there aren’t quite as many ads on this app as some of the others I’ve used. ### 5/5 — Shegriffith *2020-07-02, version 3.4* Love it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
