### 2/5 — What happened? Can’t play

*2022-02-10, version 3.0.3*

I have been playing this game for years. Suddenly, it can’t connect to the internet…. But everything else on my iPad can. So what the heck is up?

### 3/5 — Confusing

*2021-08-21, version 3.0.3*

I have been playing this type of game for a while iPad and paper. But I can’t understand why it jumps out to the Home Screen when I complete a game. I just started yesterday and I will try some more but it’s becoming tedious no fun. Will update.

### 3/5 — It could be better.

*2018-07-07, version 3.0.3*

It would be really good for me if it had music in the background for thinking, but I’m just being picky. Although, when you’re in a puzzle, the marks for when you aren’t using a space is a dot. I was confused at first, but got over it. Also, if you finish a row or column, it doesn’t tell you. That messed me up a bit. But, it gets the nonogram idea across.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2018-04-02, version 2.7.0*

This game is garbage.  When you swipe a row or column with the dots it should fill out only the blanks.  Instead it replaces everything.  The color versions make no sense as sometimes there are spaces between colors and sometimes not.  It's just all around very annoying to use.

### 4/5 — One Small Change

*2018-03-15, version 2.7.0*

Perfect except for a small detail. The option to be oriented different than landscape. An older version had this until it was changed to exclusively landscape. I preferred the other way and would like that option back.

### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY ANYTHING IN THE GAME

*2017-06-22, version 2.6.1*

EDIT: DO NOT BUY ANYTHING IN THIS GAME. YOU WILL BE CHEATED OUT OF YOUR MONEY AND THEY WILL NOT WRITE YOU BACK ABOUT REFUNDING YOU.

It's a fun game but you need to be careful. If you click too quickly when the game is giving you stars, you'll lose the stars that weren't registered. I paid $2.99 for 150 stars and only got 60 because I guess I clicked out of the page. I'm waiting to hear back from them about what they're going to do about the missing stars that I paid for.

### 3/5 — Forces you to use hints

*2017-06-02, version 2.6.1*

As you go along, puzzles are no longer solvable by logic alone. You are forced to use hints, which defeats the purpose of solving these puzzles, IMO. I have enjoyed the app until I hit this pay wall. Uninstalling because there are other alternatives.

### 1/5 — Close to impossible to complete

*2017-05-28, version 2.6.1*

Too hard

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2017-03-28, version 2.6.1*

Far too many ads to make this enjoyable.

### 2/5 — Videos ads have glitch

*2016-12-02, version 2.6.1*

The video ads have suddenly developed a glitch where they have shrunk to miniature pixels up on the left side of the screen.  I can't access the puzzles at all as there is no way to exit out of the un-viewable ads.
