JCross Nonogram – Puzzle Game Review
JCross Nonogram is a Puzzle game from Amir Kadyrov, first launched in 6th August 2015.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 59+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes JCross Nonogram Stand Out
Nonograms appeared at the end of the 20th century and became popular all over the world. They are also known as Japanese crosswords, Japanese puzzles, Japanese drawings, PathPix, Griddlers, Paint by Numbers, Picross, hanjie etc.
Japanese crossword is a very popular puzzle game.
In the Nonograms, unlike conventional crosswords and arrowwords, a picture instead of words is conceal by means of numbers.
Please have a look at these black-n-white Nonograms. They are divided into several groups by resolution depending on the crossword width and height.
If you like Philippine puzzles, you will definitely like Nonograms too.
All Nonograms have their own single solution.
The grid is formed by horizontal and vertical lines. Numbers on the top and on the left show the sequence order of blocks of filled-in squares horizontally and vertically correspondingly. The blocks are unbroken, and two nearby blocks must have at least one empty (unfilled) cell in between.
The blocks follow one another exactly in the order shown by the corresponding numbers.
Nonograms are solved in the following way:
– First, you need to determine which cells are to be filled;
– Second, you need to determine which cells cannot be filled: these are marked with crosses.
This process is repeated until the crossword is solved.
App features:
– More than a thousand of free Japanese crosswords of various width and height sizes (10×10, 15×15, 20×20, 25×25, 30×30 etc);
– Zoom mode allows you to solve even large Japanese crosswords;
– Portrait and landscape orientation support;
– Undo option (up to 100 actions can be undone);
– Light and dark color scheme support;
– Font size is automatically changed depending on the size of the crossword and your device screen orientation and size.
If you think of yourself as a genuine enthusiast of Nonograms you absolutely have to give JCross a try! This original Crossword Painter is without any doubt a remarkable representative of its genre. Just think about it: why download several different apps when you can have one with tons of various Picrosses already in it and a lot more on their way. It really doesn’t matter whether you want to rack your brains by doing a sophisticated Nonogram or you need a trivial Paint by Numbers to kill time – JCross has all of them!
Put it all together with some nice intuitive interface tempered in the best testing rooms and JCross is what you get. My God, can this app be more awesome? Just download it already while it’s still free!

Community Insight:
There are so many puzzles we couldnt get through all of them if we tried for 100 years. They are so much fun and you keep to the point that x small is easy. Up to X-Large being hard and some extremely hard. Its nice how you can choose by dimension by fives with so many puzzles, on x small we were able to choose from 1010, 1015 1515 2015 and it just keeps going with loads of puzzles on each. We like how it dosent tell you if your wrong so you can do the puzzle how intended. Its goes from 1010 all the way up to 100100 which is so huge. Great app, great interface. Good job.
Great app. Crashes more than Id like but we can handle it. The one thing we hate is how it drains our battery. Looked at what apps were using battery and this one uses way more than apps we spend more time on.
…there's a lot of puzzles that are numbered wrong which makes it impossible to solve…otherwise we rated 3 stars due to the plentiful amount of puzzles and the ability to listen to music/books while doing the puzzles! Thanks! We hope the puzzles can be corrected.
The interface on this app is pretty good–not our favorite, but way, way better than most other ones. We appreciate the no-frills app and the sheer number of puzzles included. BUT. There are several repeated puzzles. We haven't gotten through all that many, and we've done that one same anchor puzzle in the Small section at least 3 times. And some of the puzzles are unsolvable without guessing. We've done our fair share of nonograms of many sizes, but some of these just aren't logically possible. Thanks for all the puzzles, but we're getting frustrated doing the same ones over and over again and with having to abandon puzzles that aren't designed properly. We recommend doing a once-over on your puzzles to check for duplicates and problems in the designs.
Very user-friendly. Variety of puzzles. Love the updated "X" fill helper. Good work.
Ive tried so many of these apps. This one has the simplest interface and is so easy to play. Its exactly what we were looking for. If youre a fan of these puzzles ignore the one star reviews and give this one a try.
Great app generally, but 1-starring because music stops while playing. Makes it a bit worthless.
Even after an ad has stopped playing the music continues.
We don't think we could play all the puzzles offered if we tried. The controls are also amazing.
Wonderful game we really enjoy playing. It helps us pass the time while waiting for doctors appointment or anytime we find ourselves having to wait for an extensive period of time. Download and challenge yourself.
This is one of the few puzzle games that we can continue to play. We never get bored and there are always more puzzles to complete. Keep them coming.
Hands down, the best puzzle app we have found so far. Once the difficulty progresses far enough this is game so enjoyably, challenging and satisfying. We were hooked from the first one.
The game is a pretty interesting game. Really fantastic if youre looking for a real time waster. Great for waiting room at our doctors office.
The game offers a wealth of game scenes. Players can play to their imagination. Game is simple and fun.
This is a great game. The game easy to play, addictive. Good game to pass the time.
This is a fantastic game when you are all alone and are in need of some of kind of puzzle to di. We started playing this a few days and now whenever Im traveling or am taking a break for 5 min, Im glued to this. As you keep solving the next levels keep getting better and better.
