User Reviews for Pic-a-Pix: Nonogram Color

Except for the cost, it’s first class!

I really love this type of puzzle, ever since I first saw them in Games magazine, and doing them in electronic form is the best way! I just can’t afford to keep buying them, as fast as I go through them. So periodically, I will go through my finished puzzles and reset them all to have more fun with ones I’ve already done. I find myself redoing mostly mediums, and rarely ones a little harder. One thing I love about these is that they’re always (in my experience so far) solvable using logic, not guessing. Another game I. Played often had more than one possible correct solution, and those are just bad. I wish I could afford more, but I have to live within a budget, so I have to find ways to save.

Best Picross app available!

I tried 10+ different Picross apps and this one is the best by far. There are hundreds of puzzles of varying difficulty levels to choose from and the controls are great. Cursor mode makes doing large puzzles on my small iPhone 7 screen totally possible. Other apps have terrible controls, lots of bugs, and their puzzles are way too easy because they have to fit on small screens. The Easy level in this app is like other apps' Max Difficulty level. Also, the developer updates this app and adds new puzzles regularly. Most other Picross apps on the App Store have been abandoned. Minus 1 star because the pricing model is a bit expensive if you do a lot of puzzles. You buy puzzles in packs of 20 for $0.99 to $3.99 based on size and difficulty. I wish there was an option to get all the puzzles for a one time fee. Or at least more puzzles per pack. Relative to other apps and games on the App Store, these puzzle packs are expensive. But worth it!Feature request: Dark mode or dark themes for playing at night!

Stress Relief and Makes Waiting Easier

I’ve used this Pic-a-Pics app for years. I’ve purchased hundreds and I’ve cleared old ones to play again- although I was surprised to find that I remember them. They also spark memories of whatever else I was doing at the time I worked it.I have lots of doctor appointments, but 99% of the time, working these little puzzles at whatever difficulty fits my mood, truly helps.One problem now and then that I’ll finish a puzzle with one error and no ‘x’ blocked. Happens maybe 1 in 200 puzzles but it’s a relatively minor glitch. I roll through the whole thing already worked and that usually finds or fixes the error. I’ll go months without touching it but I’ve always come back. I often even look up something I didn’t know about, especially famous portraits, landmarks, etc.I typically go for the mid sized puzzles as I’m often on my small iPhone Also there aren’t nearly enough Landscape oriented puzzles.I can’t justify taking a star away for any of the trivial problems I’ve mentioned. And I’ve mentioned all the problems I’ve ever had in this review.Good luck

fun puzzles, but have a strong wish

UPDATE: The developer's thoughtful response has earned back the 5th star. However my wish remains. Adding additional palettes, perhaps to specially named groups of puzzles, could certainly retain contrast and solvability, if done with the care typical of this company. ~~~~~~ ORIGINAL REVIEW: I love doing these puzzles. They're fun, yet encourage you to think, and to be be careful!!! And the implementation and navigation are surprisingly workable. I wouldn't have thought it possible to create an effective way to do these puzzles without paper and pencil, but they've done it. Love 'em!!! ......WISH LIST - I'm tired of the limited color scheme across all the gazillion puzzles that you offer - this company has the best navigation, but additional beautiful colors, shades, and tones should be offered after all these years. There are some other puzzle sets by other companies that are inspirational with their artistic beauty.

Ten year veteran of this game

Shocking to think it’s been this long, but there’s no other game that has held my attention like this one. As an artist, I appreciate the cleverly done and sometimes humorous designs. Working out the logic gives my old brain a nice workout. I’ve gradually worked up to doing some “very hard” puzzles, which feels like a real accomplishment even though I have allow myself a few “hints” by testing the results of marking a square. But after tackling those, the ones simply marked “hard” seem much easier. I’ve only encountered two trivial bugs in all these years, and tech support has been responsive and helpful. True, it can get a little pricey if you go through the puzzles like potato chips, but they’re a healthier alternative.

Very challenging

I like the puzzles. Time flies when playing this. Often I think I’m stuck, only to then solve another block, which usually then reveals more blocks. So far I’ve been able to solve all with straight, simple logic and no guessing. Early on I switched back and forth between black/white puzzles and color puzzles because the method of solving changes a little. I’ve gone 100% color now. Originally I wasn’t happy with the limited number of puzzles with my purchase. But even with only 60 total, there are many, many hours of puzzle solving included. And there are hundreds of additional puzzle packs you can purchase for a small fee. One of my favorite games on my phone. Conceptis is has many more games, of which I have several.

Great puzzles!

I’ve been doing this kind of puzzle for years. These are some of the best. This app includes genuinely challenging puzzles. You don’t have to spend money to try some harder puzzles. And after you get through them all, there’s also a free weekly released puzzle. I liked it so much, i did buy a couple of puzzle sets. I really enjoy this developers puzzles and I want to support him or her. (If you haven’t seen the other puzzles, you should really check them out... personal opinion, they’re all good.)I like the interface... the way you choose color or lack of color is intuitive, and the ability to lock the row and column selector is a great feature I don’t remember seeing anywhere else. It’s epically usefully for the large puzzles. I highly recommend this to experienced puzzle players. Beginners, there are a few easy games and a set of instructions, but it puzzles get harder fast. I’d say try it. If you find the puzzles too difficult, check out any of the dozen or more competitive apps that have a full set if easy puzzles to warm you up, and then come back and try these again.

Love the new Zoom tools!

I’m a longtime fan of Pic-a-Pix puzzles and tend to choose the largest, most challenging color packs. As a result, even on a 10 inch tablet (ios 12.1), it was getting more difficult to avoid eye strain when working within the tiny squares of the larger grids. I decided to risk updating and try the new zoom tools.Wow, what an improvement! I now lock the number clues and zoom the grid to a comfortable size. I can move the grid around and work on particular sections, zoom out when needed. I found I actually prefer the crosshairs ruler for working large grid puzzles, so I’m glad that was retained when adding other options for filling in squares. Wishlist: option to display system clock; auto-dimming of solved clue numbers.

Fantastic game, I'm addicted!

FYI you get 42 puzzles free and one new free puzzle a week. Other packs cost like 2-3 dollars and come with like 20 puzzles. But they're so fun. And it actually has good pictures. I can't find other similar apps that make as good of pics or are as fun to complete. Also I love that there are themed packs—I bought a romantic theme and it had all these cutesy pictures of love and it was adorable! I would totally recommend this game if you like logic puzzles.Edit: I do have one complaint about this game. I play it on a phone and primarily use my thumb, but the color choices are on the top of the screen, so they aren't comfortable to reach. The bottom of the screen is completely empty, and it seems like it would be a good idea to put the color choices down there where they would be easy and comfortable to reach. It's a little thing but something that's begun to irritate me after playing for a long time. I would love to see this changed in a future update :)
