Our favourite game for years!!! And we mean years literally! Keep it going guys you rock.
This is the only app Ive ever spent money on and let us tell you it was worth every cent. We spend hours on this game. The pictures make sense as soon as you complete them, its not a vague image that only makes sense after you finish. The puzzles are creative and theres HUNDREDS of them, and they put out updates frequently. We downloaded this game roughly 10 years ago, and not ONCE have we had to pay more money than what they charged us at first. Even when we got a new phone and had to redownload, we played a few levels before renewing our subscription and the only ads we were shown were to unlock a level. ONLY to unlock it. Never did they force us to watch one mid-level. Never after we finished. Only beforehand and we could leave and come back as many times as we wanted to that level without watching another ad. THIS is the way game apps should be. This is THE best nonograms game. We cant recommend it highly enough. We play this game all the time – to the point that people ask us what game Im always playing. Plus? You get black and white puzzles AND color puzzles in one game. Just switch sides on the main page. Absolutely perfect, absolutely no complaints from us at ANY point in the past 10 years. Thank you so much for being such an amazing app.
We love this app but cannot figure out how to use hints. Help.
Love this game. Simple and challenging at the same time. We appreciate that most (if not all) games can be figured out with logic. Play both color and b&w versions. Each take a slightly different strategy. As far as paying again. When we switched from Android to IOS we were pleasantly surprised that it was free. We feel these developers have done a near perfect job and deserve more than our original investment.
Hey there devs, Im being honest when we say this is probably our most played mobile game of all time. Ive been a fan for years, and we appreciate the update. But which puzzles have been removed from the game? You said you removed duplicates and unsightly puzzles but what do you mean by unsightly? We dont like the idea of puzzles being randomly taken out. If theres a better way to contact you guys and ask you, Id love to ask. Thanks.
We have been doing the Original CrossMe since 2018. The most recent upgrade made some changes that we are having trouble with. We find that we are no longer able to use our finger to touch the squares to turn them black. A pencil slides along and colors in the blank square. We find this confusing and searched all over Google to find explanations of how to use the new controls. Did not find any information/instructions as to how to use the newly updated controls to play the game. We really miss the Original version that we purchased in 2018.
Can of the game but the last update caused us to lose hundreds of our completed puzzles. Not sure we have the desire to go back and do them all again.
We have played this game 5+ years as a decompressor. Its absolutely disheartening to open the app, and see the 5 years of check marks of completion to be completely gone. Along with the new mechanics of no pencil option to mark off X areas and not allowing for the colors to be dragged over multiple vertical or horizontal lines has made us very frustrated while playing. We are debating deleting and finding a similar app, but we have been loyal and truly enjoyed the mechanics and the puzzles that have been provided over the years. We will most likely keep the app in our app library, but its lost its place on our main screen for now, especially if an update doesnt come.
What happened to the largest color puzzle in the game? It was originally the very last puzzle and after this update it is now gone. It took us two days to finish that one.
This is sooooo much fun. We stopped playing it for a bit and when we played it again we were sorry we had stopped. Theres a lot of strategy involved which is great fun.
Best 5$ we ever spent (or 10$ for both games)and you dont have to pay it to try it out, but Im sure you will because its the best one out there. We have been playing this game for over 10 years. This is the best nonograms game no need for any others after you download this one. They are always adding new puzzles and adding things to improve the game. ( like the hints. That wasnt an option when we first stared playing.) we love that they put CrossMe and CrossMe color in one app.
Whether youre new to Pic-Cross puzzles or are craving some new ones, this app has it all. Ive had this app for years and we always put it down and come back to it but its always fun and great.
Listen, Ive been playing this app for almost 9 years and although other apps come and go from our phone, this app is here to stay. The only thing is that we wish they updated more frequently! (Even though they have regular updates already). We hope they continue to update puzzles long into the future, because Ill still be playing! Thank you to the devs for making our favorite app.
Love these puzzles! One of the few nonogram games we've found that doesn't turn the answer into color after the end of it, letting the black and white pixel art shine through. The 5$ key was worth it for us, but not necessary if you don't want to spend on it. Hints are rechargeable so you don't need to spend on those, and overall such a enjoyable game to play while relaxing and listening to a podcast.
This app has given us countless hours of relaxation. Its well designed and has a great range of puzzle difficulties. We tried several nonogram apps before we found this one, and it is certainly the best and well worth the money.
Love the game! Ive been playing it for years! Just wondering when the next update will be? Ive solved all of the B&W ones and we dont enjoy colour ones that much :) so please please please release more B&W.
This app is fantastic! We love how much it makes you think and it really keeps our brain active! The pictures are awesome too.
We love this type of game and the functionality is great. Just need lots more color pics.
We used to play this on our kindle like 10 years ago we had forgotten all about it until now. If you like pic cross this is the best one in our opinion.
Ive played this game for years. Our husband asked us how many puzzles Ive done so far. We had never thought about it but some quick math said 2,845 puzzles!! Holy cow! The lowest level puzzles take a few minutes to solve. The ones Im doing now can take 1-2 hours.
Been playin this for years. Never gets old.
Ive probably logged a thousand hours with this app. Our all time favorite distraction after a good book. Im housebound, a retired computer IT specialist, and mathematician by degree. Other nonagram puzzles are not as well designed. This is the best.
We have played this game for years, beginning on an older iPad, but using our same login. Now our new iPad does not show the dozens of images we have previously done, and making us start all over. Overall, we love playing this game, and solving each image.
Been playing for years and years on Android nono fee , and just got an iPhone. Do a handful of basic puzzles, and then they want to charge towards of $7 to unlock. No thank you, we just spent a stupid amount of money on this phone, and am not sure it was at at all worth it.
This game has NO ADS! And it is free. Also, you can toggle between color mode and black and white mode in one app! The downside is no sound for tapping.
No ads, that should be enough for any review. The puzzles range from easy to confounding, which is great. We cant figure out the hint system, though.
Love this app and have been playing for years one suggestion, would it be possible to add a greying out feature for the color version when a color has been fully used (like greying out the option to click at the bottom that we could adjust in settings) to make it easier to keep track.
Great application, Ive been rooting it for years. Regular updates of the puzzles, perfect performance. Highly recommend.
Ive completed all the black and white grams that we can access. We can only access one colored one and it wont let us do anything. How do we get more.
First, this is a great game. We have been playing for about a decade now. We love this game because its fun and challenging, and the pictures are satisfying to make. However, a couple years ago, the developers removed all irregular puzzles in an update. Irregular puzzles referred to puzzles that were not strictly solvable by the normal solution logic method. However, we used a method that reliably solved most of these puzzles. And for those that didnt work with, we enjoyed figuring out by trial and error and recognizing shapes. There was one puzzle we were stuck on for like six years and then finally realized what it was supposed to be, and we were so proud to complete the troll face puzzle. The developers had previously added an option to hide irregular puzzles, presumably because they bothered people who couldnt figure them out, which was fine. But then the puzzles were just removed without warning, and all those puzzles we had spent time solving were lost. And we miss the extra challenge. After playing for so long, the game gets easier, and irregular puzzles are a welcome challenge. To the developers, if you dont want to keep making irregular puzzles you dont have to, but please at least bring the ones that have been removed back into the app.
We love this type of game and this is one of our favorite apps!! We play it all the time and love the fact that you guys are always add more new puzzles!! If we could give more stars we most definitely would. Love, Love, Love.
Ive been looking for a good nonogram/picross app and a lot of them do not have the functionality you need for a touch-based game. This is the best app we have foundit has zoom, it has the ability to draw a quick row of symbols, and it marks off the numbers of rows completed which makes things move faster without ruining the challenge. Has lots of puzzles and we like the challenge of the color-style puzzles as well. A great, well-designed app.
Not only is this a wonderfully done picross / nonogram / Japanese crossword puzzle apps, it is very clear from spending time with it on just how well thought out it is across the board. While we will hopefully keep this brief, if you are on the fence about this app – give it a try. While it may seem a bit daunting at first, they treat you gently in the beginning – and youll have that Ha – moment – where the picture makes sense. (But to be fair, some – like the turkey really require you to squint a bit) The funny thing is, our daughter loves it when we show her as we make progress and she guesses and sees if she is right at the end. And there are so many puzzles, there is plenty to get into the flow – so you rarely feel like youre overwhelmed. And once you are getting in the groove, it is easy to relax prior to going to bed, or like in our mothers case – in focusing on this instead of other things like chemo or waiting. One of the simplest but easily overlooked is just the ability to tap / hold / drag to fill in other marks in a straight line – but this works with all the types of marks. So if you wish to count the number of spaces – you easily have the heavier tick mark every 5 paces – or as we realized recently – you can erase but also drag on unmarked spots and it will tell you how long spaces are. The only bit of feedback we might give is that the next button – sometimes may seem to jump around a bit – and even now Im questioning whether or not it is intentional. You dont just remember chicken first and dog next – because it might not be in that order – and even that makes it feel a bit more pleasant especially if you replay sections again. Thank you for putting this app together and for taking the care in working so hard on it.
Best picross app!!! Ive played for ten years and have completed 2512 of 7000+ puzzles. The game updates with new puzzles pretty often. 1000% worth it.
This is the definitive implementation of this game. The gameplay is smooth and intuitive. Its beautifully executed and so enjoyable to play.
We have enjoyed your app for a long time, but some of the Nonograms are getting too big for the iPad. Which reduces the size f the grids and makes it hard to them. We have to enlarge the page which helps, but can only view a portion of the puzzle. Help.
We love this game, it is definitely worth buying the full version. There seems to be endless game boards as many boards are updated and added over time. Its our favorite game to play when relaxing. The interface is super easy to use and without adds makes it even better.
Switched to an iPhone. We had CrossMe and CrossMe color on Android. We purchased this app. It says black and white and color are mixed. Where are the color puzzles? We cant seem to find any.
UPDATE 08/02/22: Great game, BUT … After youve paid for the full version & later want to move the game to a new Apple device, there is NO restore purchases button. When we had this problem in the past & contacted support, they denied having any proof of purchase & wouldnt help us, so we had to REPURCHASE the app to play it on our new device. Fast forward to the present. We have a new device & cant restore purchases AGAIN (though, oddly, the app loaded on the new device recognizes all our progress). This time, however, there is NO WAY to contact support ANYWHERE!!! There is as a link to a form in the App Store on the NEW device, but it wont EVEN let us fill it out because it says theres no record of a purchase. On the device where we have the fully purchased version, the link & form are missing altogether. The web site only contains links to buy apps & nothing else. Ive already purchased this twice & Im not doing it again. Reputable businesses are transparent, support their customers, & try to do right by them. That is not Dynamix Software. Downgrading from 5 stars to 1. PREVIOUS REVIEW: Awesome! One of the best apps out there. Great user interface. Great game format. It's all there.
We like the game but couldnt find out how to use the hints?? Got directions from the developer. Thanks.
We're addicted to the game. We enjoy solving puzzles one by one.
Only complaint is that on the puzzles with really small grids, we spend a lot of time correcting errors caused by hitting the wrong box.
We found this game the first time in Amazon AppStore. Ive kept playing it across multiple phones and devices. Thousands of puzzles, different difficulty levels, and lots of fun pictures! Super easy to figure out and interact with. We always look forward to updates! This is the most addicting and satisfying game Ive played.
Have been playing for yearsthe puzzles are beautiful and challenging! This is a great way to keep your brain active and unwind at the end of the day. Many levels keep you moving. We hope you keep adding more.
We downloaded this in our freshman year of highschool, 6 years later, 4-5 new phones and many other nano gram games deleted, we always choose to come back and download this game to pass by some of our time. This game has helped our anxiety so much, we got to completing too many, so we bought both the color and non color versions. WORTH THE MONEY! We spent so many hours playing this and completing so many puzzles! We love how detailed the puzzles can get and how we can identify some of the characters or images! Absolutely beautifully crafted game.
Try to mark lines and it drags the image around instead. Have to sit and wait until the mark changes color before you can drag a line. Can't drag regions at all.
This is our favorite game to play. All of a sudden, our non color version is in color. We paid for both versions so what happened to the non color version? Im so disappointed.
Love the game, have played for years. Suddenly, we are now back at the very beginning with the simplest games. What happened.
We love the app the controls work well and it is really fun. It makes cool pictures and it is not that hard.
Love this game but we didnt receive any new puzzles with the most recent update as it said we would.
