Solve a picture, keep the page. Nonogram Journal is a nonogram app built around collections. Each album is a set of pixel-art pictures on one theme. Read the numbers, fill the cells, and the picture appears. Every card you finish becomes a dated entry in your journal, and your albums fill up as you go. PUZZLES YOU CAN TRUST • Every puzzle has exactly one solution and can be solved by logic alone, one line at a time. No guessing. • Boards from 5×5 up to 20×30, in four levels from Easy to Expert. • Pinch to zoom on the big boards. PLAY YOUR WAY • Relaxed shows a mistake as you make it and has no timer. • Classic keeps mistakes hidden until you ask for a Check. • Pure leaves out Check, Reveal and the automatic crosses. • Stuck? In Relaxed and Classic you can reveal a cell, as often as you like. NOTHING BETWEEN YOU AND THE PICTURE • No ads. No energy, lives or coins. • Plays offline. • Earn stickers along the way. • Optional iCloud sync. • Light or dark: follow your device’s setting, or choose one in Settings.

Hexorbit
Read full descriptionHide full description
Hexorbit is a hexagon puzzle built on one satisfying idea: place a pair, turn a ring, start a chain reaction. Drop two-gem pairs onto a honeycomb board. Join five or more matching gems and they clear. Then the twist: the board is made of rings you can turn, sliding every gem one step around the centre to line up the perfect match. When gems clear, everything above drifts down and can set off a second, third or fourth wave for multiplied points. FEATURES • 30 journey levels across three chapters, each with goals, a move limit and up to three stars • Free Flow: an endless, relaxed score chase • Daily Orbit: one new board for everyone every day • Pulse: charge it by clearing gems, then blast a seven-cell area • Undo your last move when you change your mind • Stones, locked rings and marked cells keep later levels fresh • A guided one-minute tutorial to get you started PLAY YOUR WAY • Every gem has its own shape (circle, star, triangle, diamond), so colour is never the only cue • High-contrast mode, reduced motion and larger text options • Plays completely offline FAIR AND PRIVATE No adverts. No in-app purchases. No account. No tracking. Hexorbit collects no data at all.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hexorbit at none against Nonogram Journal's 5. Hexorbit also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
