### 2/5 — Access to my camera?

*2016-01-22, version 1.1*

Puzzled why a simple picross game would need this. It's a very basic picross game, very little puzzles for free. Not worth it imo.

### 4/5 — I loved it but ....

*2014-03-27*

Very good, but it keeps closing in the middle of the level. Plz, fix it!

### 2/5 — Crashes, takes money

*2014-02-06*

Love this game, but it crashes and needs more levels. I bought more levels, but it took my money and then didn't give me anything!!!! Please fix and I will give 5 ⭐️s

### 1/5 — KEEPS CLOSING IN THE MIDDLE OF A LEVEL!!!

*2013-12-08*

This app is great but has two problems one is it doesn't have that many levels. I'm almost done with all the levels and I have had this game for mate two days and have played this game for a few hours. Next the app keeps closing in the middle of a level. I get really far and then the app closes and doesn't save and this happens frequently. Oh and one more thin I forgot I have actually tried to save a level to see what happens and nothing happens I saved it went back into that same level and nothing was saved.

### 3/5 — Quick and easy

*2013-11-23*

This is a quick game for experienced players.  Once I completed the first pack of puzzles, I moved on to another game.  Like the colors.  Need more puzzles to make this game worth it.

### 5/5 — The best picross out there

*2013-11-04*

Excellent controls.  Needs more puzzles, maybe community submitted?

### 3/5 — Nice game, but still crashes

*2013-10-11, version 1.1*

Nicely put together. Would be good to have some levels with larger grids. Unfortunately the game still crashes sporadically.

### 5/5 — Pixel fun

*2013-10-10*

It's rare I write a review, but this game is exactly what I have been waiting for. If you love Picross, try this game!

### 1/5 — Keeps Crashing

*2013-10-06, version 1.0*

Dunno if it's not iOS 7 compatible, but continually crashes on iPads!

### 5/5 — This game changed my life

*2013-10-03, version 1.0*

Before I played Pixel This I was a loser with no friends and Sasha ignored me.

Yes, you may think that Picross is for nerds but Pixel This is super rad.

Now I'm the coolest kid in town and hang out with Sasha at the mall every day.

Download this game and you too can be cool with friends like Sasha.
