About

Pixel Album

Read full description

Every nonogram in Pixel Album hides a small pixel picture. Paint the cells the numbers ask for, and when the grid is done, the picture appears in color and takes its place in an album. HOW IT WORKS • The numbers beside each row and above each column tell you the lengths of the painted blocks in that line. • Tap to paint a cell, drag to paint a line, switch to X to mark cells you know are empty. • Numbers turn gray as you finish their blocks. • Every puzzle has one solution you can reach one row or column at a time. You never have to guess. WHAT'S INSIDE • Starter album with 30 pictures, free. • Animals, Ocean, Food, Space, Garden, City and Winter Holidays albums, 30 pictures each, from quick 5Ɨ5 grids to 20Ɨ20 pictures. • A finished album turns into one big page of all its pictures. • Daily Picture: a new free picture every day, with a streak and widgets for your Home Screen and Lock Screen. • An optional daily reminder at the time you pick, skipped once you've solved the day's picture. • Filter an album by grid size when you're in the mood for a quick one or a big one. • Endless: fresh puzzles made on your phone whenever you want another one. • Hints that point to a line and explain the logic, instead of just filling a cell. • Pinch to zoom on big grids; the numbers stay at the edges of the screen. • Optional 3 lives mode and mistake highlighting. • Game Center leaderboards and achievements. • Light and dark mode, VoiceOver support, haptics. FAIR PRICING No ads and no subscription. Each album is a one-time purchase. All Albums unlocks every album, including the ones we add later, and gives unlimited hints and Endless puzzles.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Pixel Album at none against LayerArt's shown. LayerArt's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
