A great way to pass time whether you have five minutes to wait or an hour to kill. The levels aren't too easy but aren't too hard either. They're just the right kind of challenging & the ability to seamlessly switch between two game modes lets you choose your own difficulty. Any ads are unobtrusive & even pop-ups can be exited after a couple of seconds, which is leagues better than most free apps. The devs are friendly & helpful & take the time to answer questions. A good game by good people!

The puzzles themselves are a lot of fun and I found myself quite addicted but the ads got progressively worse. It was on my mind to buy the ad free version until I had to watch ad after ad and eventually uninstalled. I understand the need to make money but there's a balance that needs to be had. Furthermore, when you get to the 15x15 puzzles it becomes very easy to make a mistake coloring a wrong box with how small they are. It's very frustrating and then you're hit with ads to restart.

It's a good puzzle game. And it does heat the phone up quite a bit. If you have a battery saver setting, I recommend using. It will reduce the heat mildly. As far as the challenging aspect of this game, it will challenge many, but it's a bore to me. I had hoped that, by adding colors, it would have increased the challenge from their black and white version, but it doesn't. I won't rate this game based on challenge because it will challenge some people. It's just nor for me.

Pretty good game, but not as good as the original. I feel like it should have a difficulty option, as the daily puzzles can be harder, but the difficulty is often random. Instead, I think it should have the standard easy, medium, hard options for puzzles, like the original. Aside from that, the nonograms are entertaining and fun.

1) I love that there's colors but don't like that a bunch change after the pictures are complete. Just let me fill them in, even if it makes it more complex. 2) Too many ads!!! Banners ads, and pop up ads before AND after every single puzzle! Some are static images, others are videos. Some banner ads make the entire screen flash! Could've have been really good. Uninstalling.

I really enjoyed several levels of this game, but had to uninstall because it was killing my battery. There aren't very many ads at all... Mostly if you need another heart to keep playing classic mode. Not sure who's in charge of the art, because some of the things they claim the pictures to be bear no resemblance to that at all. But that really doesn't affect the gameplay itself. So, overall good, and I'd reinstall if they fix the battery issue.

1. Asked for rating to soon (at second level) with no option to skip. 2. Control are easy to confuse and loose a life (only 3 lives per level). 3. Tried colors after playing several levels of the no-colors version. The concept is the same. It's a little fun at first, but stop being a "puzzle" at higher levels. There's no way to solve unless you spend steps (3) and lives (3). You must watch a 30 seconds add to get just one. There's too many ads anyway. 15 x 15 aren't puzzles. Just ads mines.

I love Nonogram Color. There are too many ads, though... every time I click into a new game or restart a game, there's another ad and I need to wait for the "x" in the upper right corner to continue my game. I would play it much more but don't have the time to wait for all these ads (which I ignore anyway). It wouldn't be so bad if it were every third or fourth time, but every click brings another ad. It's just too much.

I like this game. I don't mind waiting through the ads for hints. However there is some ad right now that starts and the screen stays completely black and never goes away. You have to close the game and reopen it again which deletes all your progress. If you could figure out which ad that is it would be much appreciated, or make it so it saves your progress if you have to close the game.

I loved this app and it was tons of fun. I especially enjoyed the little challenge postcards. Pictures were always high quality and no guesswork was needed. Unfortunately it has a habit of randomly freezing or crashing, usually in the middle of a puzzle, which causes you to lose all of your progress. It's not a memory issue, my phone has 5 extra gigabytes. In the end I had to uninstall. Very sad, will definitely increase rating and reinstall if this issue is fixed.

This is a worthy puzzle challenge! Out of ~120 puzzles that I've completed, only one of them seemed to require guessing. (Granted, many of them are plain hard, which is part of the challenge.) I always play in classic mode, because I don't like being told if I guess wrong. I want to be afforded self-reliance. One suggestion: When I select the "X" tool, it would be better if none of the colors were still selected. I have trouble with the toggle button, because I forget to look there.

I like this version of the game a lot. The color addition is great. Some of the end pictures are a bit comical and a stretch at best. I stare at it thinking, "how can it possibly be ___". I don't mind the ads between games. I do wish there were more lives on harder levels. I end up accidentally hitting the wrong square and have to watch a full video.

I love the game, but the 30 second penalty/advertisement is ridiculous, hence the 1 star. It makes the game way longer than it should be. It's frustrating enough when you forget to change colors or you hit the wrong square on your phone, but then to be penalized 30 seconds is horrible. If the penalty/advertisement was 5-10 seconds, that would be much more tolerable. Please fix this then this would be a 5 star game. Uninstalling until fixed.

Quite good. The puzzles range in difficulty from going through the motions to staring at the screen for an hour. Ads are pretty often, but most quickly skippable. Events and daily challenges make for a decent break from main puzzles. I wish there was a way to draw without directly touching the squares, like with arrow keys and a moveable selector or something. Overall, it's a great way to kill some time.

So. Many. Gosh. Danged. Ads. Good gracious, it's not worth it. Edit in response to developer: when your puzzles take less than a minute to complete and then I have to watch a full 30-45 second ad, you can take your keeping it free and shove it. This app would be fun if not for the full unskippable ad after every, short, easy puzzle. Find a better one.

I have loved playing this game since I first downloaded it. However, the most recent change has made the game not fun anymore. It used to be that the puzzles came in a random order from easier to more challenging. But now there are 3 levels, and the easiest one comes with half the puzzle already filled in, and it's very boring to play. If the maker wants to offer super easy puzzles, then please let us choose the difficulty level we want to play.

Not Challenging at all. It's a waste of time. I just got an ad for this game with a really huge nonogram. It looked like a lot of fun. Unfortunately, most of the ones I got were 10 x 10. Half of thise had a bunch of filled in x's as hints. After around 100 levels and playing all of the January daily puzzles and it was still mostly that easy, I Uninstaller it. The nonogram in the ad is not part of this game. It's a scam ad. Disappointing. After seeing that ad, I had to lower my original rating.

I love nonograms and pictocrosses, and this company's color version and the original (1 color) version is easy to use. I hope you add two features from the original to color. Those are the ability to choose difficulty and the addition of expert levels. my biggest complaint was that I was forced to start with extremely easy puzzles when I'm already an expert at these. Also, I have an idea that would make seeing the grid a bit easier. try making it so tapping on the numbers highlights the row.

Love the original B&W version, but this isn't quite the same. First, the advert for the game is NOT how the game is played. You don't build pictures that then build to a larger full picture. You build simple 10x10 or 15x15 squares only. Which leads to point 2, the pictures are bad and barely recognizable to what they say they are. Overall, skip this version and pick the original.

I find myself struggling to care about this. There's no way to sync progress with multiple devices, even through Google Play. Puzzles don't even look vaguely similar to the art that shows up afterwards (event puzzles can be exceptionally bad in this regard.) To top that off, all of the adverts are just obnoxious to abhorrent. There are better Picross/Nonogram games out there, emulated or otherwise.
