Really fun but disappointing because of how few puzzles it has. It only starts you off with 40 easy puzzles and then you have to buy the rest. :(

This is the best interface I've used for a nonogram puzzle on a phone, particularly for the larger boards where individual squares get small and hard to pick. The puzzles themselves are ok; too many are very symmetrical for my taste. Limiting them to 15×15 max limits the options but keeps the gameplay reasonable on a phone, and no puzzle takes too long to solve.

Graphics are great, but the controls are bad. I prefer the 2 button controls, because it doesn't take 2 taps just to fill in a square.

This is the best picture logic puzzle app around. Clear instructions, an attractive user interface and intuitive, easy-to-use controls. No more fishing for microscopic squares with big, fat human fingers. And when the puzzle is solved, the picture appears in glorious colour! A real winner.

Good game to pass time with. The only thing I don't like is having to tap the fill in or cross out button. Would prefere to choose it when I tap on my square.

Looks nice BUT 1. Not difficult enough. 2. Needs toggle button, too much tapping currently. 3. Can't do rectangular selection which sucks. 4. No zoom?!

I've tried out many picross games on the play store, but this is the best one so far. The user interface is very intuitive, especially when using a stylus. The puzzles are fun too. The color reveal after the puzzle is solved adds an extra reward to the end. I would definitely recommend this game to picross puzzle lovers.

I don't at al like that you have to select what to fill in every time, so annoying :( Takes so much extra time.

The color at the end is fun, but the interface is a pain. And if it's this annoying on the simple levels, I can't imagine how bad it will be on the more complex ones.

Best picross nonogram game I've found so far, as long as it doesn't make me buy levels soon I'll be rating 5*!

The gameplay isn't bad, but the puzzle are woefully easy, you can get way better value from crossme or crossme color

I like that you don't have to fill in all the boxes with something. As for the in game tools...easy to use!

Wish they gave more levels for free or had a points system to unlock new levels instead of having to purchase more!

A bit too easy, plus it crashes everytime you leave the app to do something else (even if it's just pulling down the notification bar). But I am hooked I must admit, and I'm definitely going to take this as far as the free game will let me

Just finished the first 40 puzzles after around a month. Bought all the extra one because this game is worth it. If you like puzzles, get it.

This one has a lovely graphic design, but the controls are less effective (need to press at least two times for every move; only linear selection is possible), the puzzles are very small, simple, and consider only one color solving. There are other much more sophisticated and free puzzles available on the Google play market...

I like the colors at the end of the puzzle. The interface is innovative and especially helpful if you made a mistake. I finally figured out that you don't have to lift the stylus to choose in the interface..

It'd be nice if the default option colored in blocks.

Would give 5 stars if had slightly better controls but other then that its a good game
