### 5/5 — Endless Fun

*2026-08-06, version 29.0*

I love how they keep adding new puzzles every so often.

### 5/5 — Love

*2026-07-27, version 28.0*

Can’t get enough and I’ve played a ton of picross games

### 5/5 — Addicting. Love this app.

*2026-06-10, version 28.0*

I love this app. I’ve played this for several years at this point, and I still love it. I’ve finished all 3188/3188 big mode puzzles, and 6287/6287 normal mode puzzles, and am always anticipating the next update, which usually comes every couple months. Review updated 10th June 2026.

### 4/5 — Literally my favorite nonogram BUT!!!!

*2026-06-04, version 28.0*

PLEASE make a no ad version like i would literally pay for it. The ads are so annoying on this and now theres a constant banner at the bottom?? Girl ill spend a gross ammount of money to not have ads on this

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-04-25, version 27.0*

Been playing this game for at least 7 years. This is the game I always come back to.

### 5/5 — The Best Free Game I’ve Found

*2026-04-23, version 27.0*

I wasn’t even prompted to write this review—I went looking for a way to do it. I’ve been playing this game for years, and puzzles are regularly added. This game is a class act. While others try to make money by pushing ads in your face until they get you to quit, this game has always kept it to one ad per game, no endless arrows or Xs to click on to end the torture—and always under 30 seconds OR LESS. The best thing about these nonograms is the artist. His or her perspective on the images created is IMHO pretty genius. Always recognizable even in the easiest, most pixelated puzzles, the pictures capture the essence of both ordinary and unusual things without being obvious and with using the fewest pixels so puzzles stay under 30x30. I continue to be impressed and I hope my review is a worthwhile reward.

### 5/5 — Addicting. Love this app.

*2026-04-18, version 27.0*

I love this app. I’ve played this for several years at this point, and I still love it. I’ve finished all 3063/3063 big mode puzzles, and 6287/6287 normal mode puzzles, and am always anticipating the next update, which usually comes every couple months. Review updated 18th April 2026.

### 5/5 — BEST NONOGRAM APP EVER

*2026-03-12, version 26.1*

Not even a bot rn, this is the most user friendly and satisfying nonogram app developed. 
I like how you can change the colors, and the cursor pad really helps with the larger puzzles that have smaller boxes. Every puzzle completed is saved in each category to be later admired. Minimal ads, 10/10

### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVER

*2026-03-12, version 26.1*

i love this nongram app so much!!! please never stop making new levels, this is the best puzzle game out there

### 5/5 — Great!

*2026-03-09, version 26.1*

I’ve had this app for some years now and it awesome! No adds during puzzles unless you need a hint, and even then adds are short. And the pictures are fun. Great game all around. Keep up the great work!
