Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We really like that you changed the stars for Halloween and fall. Hope you do this for other holidays.
The graphics and UI are very well done and there are plenty of puzzles to keep you entertained. We just wish the sync feature worked since we like to play on both ipad and iPhone. Each time we load the app on either device we get a message about cloud sync settings have changed but the state is never transferred from one device to the other. Would love to see that get fixed.
This game is the best. Easy to learn, fun and addictive. It ranges from easy to challenging. Its our must-do puzzle every morning. Our goal used to be to simply solve each puzzle, but as Ive gotten better, we now find ourselves trying to solve puzzles either under one minute or under two minutes for the more challenging puzzles. Ive tried other sites but this one has perfected the play experience. As a bonus, its good for your brain.
We love this app, we have spent more time playing it than any other game for months now! We contacted the developer with a small issue and shortly after, he rolled out an update fixing it. Super support.
We love this app. We never get tired of playing.
There is a bug in the app that takes away the stars you've earned. Very disappointing to make so much progress and not be able to continue due to the bug.
Awesome app. Do it everyday! Free!!!!! Need we say more? :).
We tried a lot of crossed number games and this is the only one we have continued playing. It doesn't have the fancy graphics that some have, but it has the best game play. The numbers are easy to read and the boxes are big enough that we don't accidentally press the wrong one. If we make a mistake it lets us fix it and lets us figure out where the mistake is, instead of immediately showing us the mistake or making us start the game over the way some number games do. It tells us how much time it took to do a puzzle and if our time has improved. It tells us if we have finished a puzzle within its time goal, but doesn't insist that we finish a puzzle within a goal time in order to continue the game. The game is free to play if you watch commercials, but you can skip the commercial after the first few seconds.
We WANTED to like this game, but the paradigm shift from every other griddler/nonogram/picross we've played of an "X" meaning a square is FILLED made our brain hurt too much to continue. If you don't have a lot of experience with these types of games, you'll probably enjoy this! N.b. If the game offered the ability to switch (so that an "X" meant a square was NOT filled), we would definitely give it another go.
Easy interface and no need to pay. Solid game.
Fun game, although the ads are getting rather annoying. We listen to podcasts while playing, and sometimes the game won't let us play our audio at the same time.
Have gone to intrusive ads, even after paying for no ads. Don't waste your money.
We love the game. We love having achievements , but not enough ways to actually attain them. Cannot get enough puzzles to complete it, we have even purchased packs and it is not counting those puzzles completed.
We love the daily nonograms! Very sad that since the new year they haven't been loading Hope that there's a fix in the works.
Can't put it down. Not getting any work done at work… :/.
Yes yes to nono! We play every day.
Wish you could have new puzzles added twice a day. So we could solve while having coffee in the am and the while on lunch break.
We're used to timers in picross games and sudoku but having it also tied into a three star system makes it feel completely rushed. We enjoy zoning out in these types of puzzles and felt unable to because of that. Having said that, this is by Far the best user interface of any of the picross games on iOS. The look is crisp, clean, and professional. The others that we've played have just looked kinda hokey and the ui terrible.
Tic tac toe of Sudoku. Very addicting. Race against time adds a challenge.
We really enjoyed playing this game, kept us thinking on our toes.
We like this puzzle its easy to play and fun!will play this always in our device.
We Like this game, its very Funny.
New concept. Pretty innovative and addicting.
This is a terrific game. Game play is fast and fun. Very addictive. Excellent user interface. Very well done.
Can't open game. Related to ios8 upgrade.
Love the game. Wish there were more puzzles.
We love this game. We've played most of the nanogram apps available for iPad and PC and this is our favorite. Love it, love it, love it.
We like the challenge. But you almost lost us in the instructions. Nice game.
Fun and addictive! We have been looking for a good puzzle game And we think we finally found it.
Never played such before! Enjoyable and seemed hard too.
Nice puzzle game, well balanced difficulty. Hope they keep improving on the graphics on future updates.
The game is different, but requires the use of your brain. We enjoyed figuring out the puzzles.
So many other games are just copies of other games. This one is unique, challenging, and fun. Great puzzle game.
This simple puzzle game is highly addicting and is very easy to learn. Working on the 4th level as we type this :).
Thoroughly enjoying this game! One addition that would put this over the top would be for users to be able to make their own puzzles to share with others. Thanks for a very nice app.
Awesome brain teaser, and a great way to pass the time.
Very clever and addicting puzzle game. Keep up the good work.
Every time we open this game we want to keep playing! Super fun and works the brain :).
Once we got the hang of it we really enjoyed playing.
NoNo works so much better with the update! Love the game.
We are a huge fan of this game. It's easy to play, yet challenging in all the right ways. We love the graphics and the happy, infectious music the game is set to. We also feel like it's improved our powers of deduction and skill with numbers. Rock on NoNo.
This update is a definite improvement over the last version… The puzzles are playable and enjoyable… We're not far enough into it to tell, but it looks like you still might need to drop some cash to unlock the random puzzle sets… If we could earn more stars and not have to drop cash to unlock the random sets we would give it five stars for sure.
Just read the other review. Our experience with this game is great. We liked everything about it. Awesome game.
Fun and addicting game, but having to buy lives ruins it.
