Review summary

Users enjoy the challenging puzzles, good UI, and ability to save progress in 'Nonogram - Jigsaw Puzzle Game.' However, many are frustrated with misleading and excessive ads, the necessity of in-game currency to play puzzles which can hinder progress without payment, and puzzles that sometimes lack unique solutions requiring guesses or hints. Technical bugs leading to crashes and lost progress also detract from enjoyment. Some feature changes have negatively impacted the user experience. Overall, the game is fun but marred by monetization and stability issues.
Pros
  • Fun and challenging nonogram puzzles with varying sizes and difficulties.
  • Ability to save progress and return to puzzles later.
  • Good user interface with smooth controls and additional features like magnified mode and secondary puzzle types.
  • Reasonably priced one-time purchase to remove some ads, with ads that are often skippable.
  • Generous availability of puzzles and relaxing gameplay experience.
Cons
  • Excessive and misleading advertisements, including ads required to play and for rewards despite purchases to remove ads.
  • In-game currency (diamonds) required to play puzzles, leading to slow progression or forced microtransactions.
  • Puzzles sometimes have multiple possible solutions, requiring guessing or paid hints, which undermines logical solving.
  • Bugs causing crashes and loss of progress mid-puzzle and issues recovering saved progress or purchases.
  • Changes to helpful features (like hints) that reduce user experience.

Two stars only because the game is actually fun. The ads are impossible. In the store it says "any purchase removes ads" and it is a lie. It removes interstitial ads, but you still have to watch ads for any additional rewards. That is NOT stated anywhere. When it says "remove ads" I expect it to do just that. If you don't remove the interstitial ads, it will play a 20 second ad before it asks you if you want to watch a 60 second one for a bonus reward, which is just amazing btw.

Cute, easy to use interface. Puzzles range in size and difficulty. I really like the 15x15 ones. I LOVE that you can back out of a puzzle and come back to it with SAVED progress. Sometimes I just need to see a different puzzle, or to come back to it later. I open as many puzzles as I can to play all day while diamonds regenerate. Aside from watching ads, gaining coins or diamonds as "prizes" take forever to build up. Overall fantastic game.

Its like the game doesn't want me to play it. It costs increasing amounts of energy to play each successive puzzle, so eventually you can only play once before having to wait 2 or more hours for enough energy to regenerate to play another puzzle. Or you can pay money for energy. Maximum energy is 30 and to finish one of the areas I need to spend 35 energy on the final puzzle which means I'm either forced to watch an ad or I have to pay. Instead I uninstalled the game and wrote this review

Don't fix what isn't broken. The hint system used to clear a row of your choice. This was extremely helpful, especially for some of the harder puzzles. Now, it not only doesn't solve the whole row, but you can no longer choose which row to use the hint on. This was an unnecessary change, and even though I didn't use hints often, it has ruined the experience. Which is a shame, as this was a really good game, that I played regularly.

Game itself is okay but each puzzle costs diamonds, and after few puzzles you will run out. Turns out you have to buy or engage in slow grind.. A shop more decorated than christmas tree wil pop up and they will offer you various other games and what not.. Everyone has the right to monetize their games but this is not honest practice. Reason for one star review is because they should have been upfront about it.

Terrible game! The background music is dreadful, there is 0 Disney or licensed pictures, you have to do seasonal puzzles each with 50 mini puzzles it's all bland green and you have to pay a minimum of 8 💎 to play a level but most levels you only win coins if you do win 💎 its only 2 at a time. Other nonogram games are better! delete this app!

I've played this game for years and always liked it, but I recently started getting ads for THIS game in other games (for some reason) and they are completely full of lies, not representative of gameplay, false advertising and bad. I'm sure they will apologize and say they don't control the content in their own ads upon seeing this review and I say that's not good enough. You should have final say on what is representing your product and if you greenlight this garbage, you get one star.

So game had an update and ever since the update while in the middle of a puzzle the game shuts down, when I go back in all of the progress I have in the selected puzzle is gone instead of me being able to continue. Fix this bug please it's rather annoying to have to do a single puzzle all over again because the game crashes. This was never a problem before!!

This is the best phone nonogram game (Picross on Nintendo DS is still the king) and has the best controls. The ad-skip IAP is one-time only, relatively inexpensive, and worth it IMO. My only complaint is that later in the game there are too many puzzles where you have to guess where to fill in and there are a lot of interchangeable fill spaces. When I say guess I mean guess, like there's no eliminating spaces by testing it and working forward until you hit a broken row.

Lots of ads. Sometimes there can be more than one solution, but any correct solution with solve the puzzle. The move by move backup is really cool. Love the magnified mode to do larger puzzles on phone. Edit. I've keep playing this app. Ads are now between puzzles. This game has a huge number of 15 x 15 puzzles. But, I've done all the bigger ones, it could use more. Love the new themes. I can finally play on a black background.
