The only drawback is that is after a few weeks the daily rewards system caps out, means that you don’t earn that much, which can be a pain during more expensive levels. ### 4/5 — New Games? *2026-06-01, version 3.4.0* I’ve been waiting six months for new games after the factory and tea room. Is the game over? Or will they ever create new games? ### 2/5 — Game constantly crashes since 26.5 iOS update *2026-05-28, version 3.4.0* No clear way to contact support from their help guide to report / assist! ### 3/5 — Fun, challenging game, but… *2026-05-25, version 3.4.0* Where the heck are some new levels? We haven’t even gotten any monthly world challenge packs or anything in several months. What’s going on? I miss my puzzles. ### 2/5 — Consistent crashing *2026-05-10, version 3.4.0* I have enjoyed this game. But now despite contacting support the candy crush ad is ruining the game. It doesn’t close and you have to close game down over and over again. This occurred in other games but after contacting support it was sorted out. Why has this been ignored ### 2/5 — You can get stuck with no tokens?? *2026-05-08, version 3.4.0* I got to a point in the game where I was earning less tokens then what I was spending per level, that’s fine many games have a limit like that for whatever reason, I didn’t mind because I was still passively earning tokens as time went by. I was really into the game so I bought some tokens but then the game stopped giving me tokens as a reward for finishing levels, and as you continue levels the required tokens to challenge them get exceedingly larger, more then you could possible be earned (even though at this point I wasn’t even earning any tokens). Once played all the levels I could I’m now at a spot where I can’t play any levels AND im not passively earning tokens by time, SO IM STUCK??? You can earn some tokens by doing surveys and playing other games but the surveys are very personal and Im not comfortable giving that information and the whole “play other games to earn currency in our game!” Thing is really sketchy. The game LOOKS like it has a lot of work put into it but it kinda seems like a big money scam… ### 2/5 — Where are the new puzzles? *2026-05-04, version 3.4.0* Updated 04–05-26. Still no more games. Sorry, but I’ve lost interest now. Old review 23-04-26. Four months since the last two puzzle sets were added… time for some more! ### 3/5 — No new updates *2026-05-03, version 3.4.0* I’ve been playing this game awhile and it appears that the creators are no longer updating it. There have been no puzzles added for several months. ### 3/5 — Updates *2026-05-02, version 3.4.0* Updates are slow to come. I have over 3000 points awaiting new puzzles. When are new puzzles coming out? ### 2/5 — Abandoned in place *2026-05-01, version 3.4.0* No new levels released in over 3 months. Did 2 help tickets to learn about the hold-up and when to expect new levels, with no expected release date disclosed to me. ### 4/5 — New Games? *2026-05-01, version 3.4.0* I’ve been waiting four months for new games after the factory and tea room. Is the game over? Or will they ever create new games? ### 4/5 — Background Music is a BANGER *2026-04-29, version 3.4.0* This is a fun and challenging game, and not timed which is great. Perhaps the most challenging part of the game is collecting enough tokens to play the puzzles that cost more than the maximum token recharge will allow. Ads always suck of course. The game is worth downloading for the background music alone ### 4/5 — Where are the new puzzles? *2026-04-23, version 3.4.0* Four months since the last two puzzle sets were added… time for some more! ### 3/5 — No new games????? *2026-03-26, version 3.4.0* I love this game, but I’ve been waiting for around 6 weeks for new one. I’ve completed everything and waiting!!! ### 4/5 — Time to update! *2026-03-23, version 3.4.0* I would never play this game because of the excessive ads, BUT! I finally read the fine print and as soon as you buy just ONE coin upgrade (min. $2.99/max $9.99 and you DO get an equitable amount of tokens for it), then it stops the ads and only plays an ad IF when they give you the option after finishing a game to watch an ad to get 10 more tokens on top of that for completing a specific level. So it’s basically like the original in that and I love that game. I now love this one too again. I gave it 4 stars because I’m sure there is SOME way to keep making it better like an exchange program of coins for tokens (1,000 for 1 token). Oh and I like that you can solve old puzzles for tokens and it’s like 25 coins per token so if you do a super hard for 125 coins, you get 5 tokens! TOTALLY worth it! ### 4/5 — Just ads and hint system *2026-03-14, version 3.4.0* When I try to double check by tapping on the bar of the row, it pays with my coins and now I’m all out :( . Also ads are sometimes kind of annoying but still a pretty good and fun game :D ### 2/5 — Too many options! Confusing *2026-03-04, version 3.4.0* Game keeps switching between sets and I can’t figure out how to get back to a set in progress. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — good game, too many ads. *2026-08-25, version 4.0.0* The game is fun, but there are waaaaay too many ads. Either reduce the frequency or have the option of paying to not to see the ads, please. ### 1/5 — Unplayable *2026-05-29, version 3.4.0* Crashes or freezes constantly. Completely unplayable. ### 1/5 — No new games????? *2026-04-27, version 3.4.0* ***EDIT*** STILL NO GAMES- I’m giving one more week it’s now 27th April 2026 - then I’m DELETING the App. And I would suggest everyone else to do the same. It’s obvious now you’re happy just for people to log on and play the advert and you get paid for doing NOTHING! ***OLD REVIEW***** I love this game, but I’ve been waiting for around 6 weeks for new one. I’ve completed everything and waiting!!! ### 1/5 — Bug *2026-03-07* New version bugs so often. Please modify. Unplaya ble **Developer response:** We're sorry to hear you've had a problem and we'd like to help you with this. Please contact us via the in game help or at support@puzzling.com so that we can assist you. ### 1/5 — Be careful of time zone changes *2026-03-07, version 3.4.0* I hate writing a bad view, but I need to warn people about this. I’ve been playing this game for years now and never really have had anything to say. However, recently, I was travelling for work between time zones. I logged into and play this game every dayas I’m winding down right before bed. I logged into it a bit after midnight the other day per usual. I did not get my daily bonus, which I figured. OK I probably logged into it earlier which usually happens. However, it turns out that it hadn’t caught up in time zone and I am now losing out on over a six month streak which they will not reset. Very disappointed that they couldn’t even take this into an account and trust me when I say that yes I did login every day. So please be careful of time zone changes and make sure that the app is recognizing it. Super disappointed that there is no resolution, but it is what it is I suppose. ### 1/5 — Love the game *2026-03-05, version 3.4.0* I love this game and play it daily! But I think it might be corrupt or have a virus or something? I’m not exactly sure how those things work, but sometimes it’s really sketchy. It will make my phone freeze up and open random apps or switch to safari and say “your iPhone may be hacked” or something like that. Anyway, I really love this game, and I’ve only had this issue with this app :( ### 1/5 — Can’t play because level unlocks cost more than max energy *2026-03-03, version 3.4.0* I played through the first set of puzzle and halfway through the second, unlock costs are higher than my max energy so I cannot play at all ### 1/5 — Contains a virus *2026-02-24, version 3.4.0* Update to review below: I uninstalled the game because one or more times per day I would be working on a puzzle and I would suddenly be taken out of the game and into a web browser. The browser would then say unable to launch webpage due to security concern. Therefore, I’m convinced this game has a virus. I previously wrote: Addicting and relaxing game that really gets you thinking. I like the format of the puzzle selection screen where each set of puzzles is in a category, and as you progress, you unlock more puzzles. I also like that ads are not intrusive and are easy to dismiss. The puzzle playing screen is nice also, with a gently moving background. Rated lower because the music is only 1 song that repeats. Would like to hear more songs shuffled in. Update: I received a response from the developer apologizing about the banner. This was not a banner. I was taken out of the game and into a web browser where a page with security concerns tried to launch. ### 1/5 — Contains a virus *2026-02-18, version 3.4.0* Update to review below: I uninstalled the game because one or more times per day I would be working on a puzzle and I would suddenly be taken out of the game and into a web browser.

Can’t even play. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Used to be better *2026-07-29, version 4.0.0* I have played this game for at least 10 years. Can no longer earn tokens by replaying games. Coins are useless unless you need clues which I hardly ever use. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-07-26, version 4.0.0* Picture cross color is amazing it is one of the best games that I play and I keep on getting drawn back to it. ### 5/5 — One of my favorites / play it everyday *2026-07-04, version 4.0.0* I’ve been playing PictureCross for years. The puzzles are in color which I appreciate. Love that there’s a new World City puzzle every month in addition to the large puzzle I’m working on. Absolutely love this game. ### 5/5 — Fun! *2026-06-23, version 4.0.0* It is so fun to do in my free time ### 5/5 — Favorite for Years! *2026-05-23, version 3.4.0* I’ve been playing Picross & Picross Colour for over a decade. The updates with new puzzles typically come every few months, but it’s now been over 5 months and I’m wondering if there are plans for anything new? ### 5/5 — Best game ever! *2026-03-18, version 3.4.0* I’ve been doing picture cross and picture cross color daily for years. Looking forward to having new puzzle packs added to color! Please keep updating. ### 5/5 — Hi *2025-11-20, version 3.3.0* I have a 108 day streak, so obviously I love the game. However… the daily reward remains 15 tokens with 30 every multiple of 5 day. But for the most part, I’ve only been getting 15 tokens a day for TWO MONTHS. I feel like I deserve a bit more than that… ### 5/5 — Entspannung die süchtig macht! *2025-11-06* Ich liebe dieses Spiel. Habe den Vorgänger komplett durchgespielt und finde die Version mit Farbe einfach nur gut. Zwischendurch zur Entspannung - es ist einfach gut. Nur manchmal nervt die lange Werbung... ### 5/5 — Freezes *2025-11-04, version 3.3.0* I love this game and have been playing it for months but upon reaching the bazaar level it has been freezing, sometimes several times in a session. It’s frustrating to have to reboot my I-pad every time this happens. ### 5/5 — Fun game with cute old-school style *2025-08-23, version 3.2.0* Love the game and the adorable style! I also haven’t encountered a bunch of ads yet! Hopefully it continues to be great!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
