    Great game!

    For a while, I found these types of games almost impossible to do because I just had a hard time learning strategies to use while playing them, but now that I know a few tricks I absolutely love them! This one in particular because there are so many that range from super easy to super hard and you can just play forever.. That is if you have enough tokens, which is one of my minor complaints about this game. You can earn hundreds of coins in a short amount of time, but hardly any tokens which you need to unlock each puzzle. It’s kind of annoying because I would play these all day but I constantly run out of tokens and have to wait until the next day for the daily reward or watch a bunch of ads for one token each and you can only watch 8 ads per day as a way to earn tokens. There’s packages you can buy but I play free games because they’re free, not so I can spend money. Especially with how fast the tokens go. The puzzles don’t all cost the same amount of tokens to unlock so they can go pretty quick. So I just open the game every day and earn my tokens to save up for a bit and then play until I run out, and then do the same thing over again. Other than that I love it! If you like these types of puzzle games then you’d really enjoy this game.

    My favorite game in the App Store!

    Apple user since 08 but have never left a review so here we go... I have had this game since May 2018. It is September 2019 and I’ve done over 1500 of the puzzles, never using any real money to play. I’ve seen a lot of people complain about having to buy tokens. With enough patience it’s possible but I do have to agree that the tokens to coin ratio is a bit of a smudge on an otherwise phenomenal game. Right now I’m sitting on over 105,000 coins and have completed all of the packs but like 2 of them but now I’m to the point where I can do one puzzle a day most days and that’s really disappointing, unless I open one a day and then don’t actually play for about a week. I appreciate the daily prizes and the doubles for watching the videos, but on the Paris and New York packs, you have so few 10 tokens or below, it takes you months to get enough tokens to cover them all. I have to say, I enjoy the color ones even more than the black and white one and I hope you guys release more of those levels. You guys have done a great job with this game, and I’m not sure what’s different about this game in comparison to the other nonogram games, but this is my favorite. Keep creating more level and I will continue to keep playing!

    So obsessed

    I dont usually write reviews, and by usually I mean never this is the first one I’m writing, but it said to write a review if I’m enjoying the game, and I’m really enjoying the game. I don’t even know how long I’ve had this game but I absolutely love it. I didn’t think that a puzzle game would ever not be boring, but somehow I’ve never gotten bored of it. I love how the packs are themed and it makes a big picture that goes together. I’m really surprised that I’ve had this game for so long, I usually get bored of games within a week but according to the stats thing I’ve spent almost four full days in the game. The ads aren’t even that bad, you can skip them after 5 seconds. I usually get really annoyed by ads but they aren’t bad. I really like how you can watch ads for one puzzle, but I wish the option came up more often. I wish it were easier to get tokens too but then I guess it would be boring because you could do them all at once. This is a lot longer than I intended it to be but basically, this is a GREAT game, and I’m obsessed. The only downside is I have to wait for tokens which is why I’m writing this but I’m not complaining about the tokens, it makes sense. I guess that’s it. Awesome game!

    A fun, typical game

    This game is very intriguing, and has puzzles that get your mind active. There are different difficulties of puzzles, and many to choose from. This game allows you to play any puzzle, as long as you have enough tokens. Now, for someone who constantly plays games on their phones, this might be restricting as you have to wait for the tokens to build back up over time. But for someone like myself who only plays a little bit at a time, it is a perfect system. I don't always play, so my tokens have built up to the point that when I do play, I can do any level I want and not have to worry about needing more tokens. Furthermore, if you're in the middle of a puzzle and need to stop, you don't need to worry because you can come back later and the progress you've made on the puzzle will save. You can also restart puzzles if you've messed it up too much, and it doesn't consume tokens. Overall, I would recommend this game to those that need a good game that will keep them concentrated and thinking for a short break in their day. An addition: you can change your time for more tokens. Easy quick way to get them, never pay.

    Finally!

    A wonderful logic pic cross puzzle! It's got some good challenges but also not impossible to beat. The color puzzles are a nice change and challenge! The format is nice too! I really love this game and have been playing it for a couple years. I love that there's awesome updates too! A couple of wishes though, I wish you could exchange tokens/gold for coins/ green tokens to play games as I don't often need hints and have a lot of gold racked up. I also feel likes there's a lot a lot of ads even for a free version. I don't mind the watching ads for more levels but sometimes really long ads pop up when I win a level and it can crash the game. I wouldn't mind a pop up picture ad but the videos always cut off music and take forever to get to the next level and I find myself closing the game instead of continuing to play. ( Side question what ads disappear when you buy something? All of them or the banner or? I was unsure. I'll gladly buy something if the video ads go away at the end of levels! ) But for real this game is awesome!

    Great game, some small improvements.

    I love this game. People are complaining about having to use real money to buy tokens are wrong. You can replay any level which will now cost “coins” (which are plentiful). Once you complete the replay you can receive up to 3 tokens each time. Even if you replay the puzzle it is still a challenge as you can hardly memorize an object and it’s squares so it is still fun and a good time filler. Some levels have certainly been difficult and occasionally have stumped me but you can solve all of these using logic and process of elimination. A hint is never required to solved. I only give this 4 stars because of course there are numerous ads as with most free games. I do opt for extra ads to gain more tokens and/or the occasional free level. However sometimes the tokens do not appears as stated in some reviews. It is frustrating and happens more commonly than I would expect. The biggest downside I have noticed is the game does not seem to sync across devices. I have started playing on my ipad primarily because it isn’t as small and my progress is not saved on my account and therefore cannot continue from where I left off if I were to switch to my phone. Lastly, I would love to see more achievements and challenges as they only can be achieved within the first puzzle pack and I am beyond that point.

    Good but needs a few improvements

    First let me start off by saying I absolutely love this game. It’s challenging so it keeps me occupied but it’s not impossible to beat which is how a game should be so good job on that. I do have just a couple of suggestions for improvement though. 1) I think it would be great if y’all could add a way to zoom in or something because on my phone the squares are really really small so it’s easy to accidentally tap the wrong one. 2) I think that for playing levels you should earn tokens more often instead of coins because the game requires tokens to keep playing and coins are only used for hints, which I never use. I have like 16,000 coins and hardly any tokens, which is aggravating because I never use coins. Or something y’all could do instead is make a way to buy tokens with in game coins that you’ve earned so that I can actually use my coins. 3) There are a few too many advertisements. Every time you click on something in the game it brings up an advertisement so I think that if there are going to be that many advertisements there should be a reward for watching them. Overall though this is a really great game and I really love it, I just think it could use a couple improvements.

    Overall pretty good but has so big downsides

    I overall love the game and are addicted to playing it. Only the problems I have with are some of great concern. First, the games level systems are completely weird, sometimes I’ll play an easy level which would end up being harder than a medium level and medium and hard levels are pretty much the same thing. Second, occasionally when I get my daily tokens, it just doesn’t give them to me. This especially happens when it is at the bigger rewards. Take today, I go to get my daily tokens, the screen pops up and I press collect, the screen goes away and I haven’t gotten my tokens. This really is a problem as tokens are the only way to play a level. Third, the levels cost way more tokens the. The. The app gives us, without having to resort to paying with real money. As you go through the levels the start to cost more to play, so even go as high as 60 tokens, this usually wouldn’t be a problem for games but in this one it is because they only refill your tokens to 10. You have to find ways to gain the extra 50 tokens. As someone who can’t afford to pay for more, collecting that many could take a pretty long time for just one level. Even with all it’s downsides I wouldn’t stop playing the game. I just wish they would fix them so I can have more of a good time, instead of a stressful one while playing.

    Addicting but could use some tweaks

    I have been playing Picture Cross for about 3 months now. I absolutely love it and would recommend it to anyone. I am just VERY frustrated about the tokens, like many others. According to other reviews, the cost of the puzzles accelerate. I agree with changing the way the tokens work and I also do not use my coins. But....the thing that gets me the most is the stupid TAPJOY. It says take a short survey for 53 tokens and I’m like sweet!! I spend 15 miserable minutes complete the survey, press finish, go back to picture cross, and get 0 TOKENS!!! I would like to earn my tokens when I complete things like that. Also I sometimes take a survey that uses personal information and then after like 15 questions it finally says: sorry but you have not qualified for any surveys! If these things were fixed, I would absolutely love this more. OOH last suggestion I think that you should be able to use whatever tokens you have. For instance, if this puzzle costs 20 tokens, but I only have 10, I could put in the 10 I have and wait until I have another 10 to complete the cost. If these things were fixed I would never stop them laying this game!!! Also, question. Does the 10 tokens recharge every day or do you have to use them?



  • By Dumpster Diva

    Wish I could give it 5...

    Because everything about playing is spectacular! I actually give this game credit for helping me quit smoking - kept me so distracted and occupied that I made it through the temptation! It’s challenging, problem-free, friendly interface, I love this game. BUT - you earn barely enough tokens to play, nor enough coins. I did spend money along the way to buy tokens (considered it better than spending on cigarettes). And I have replayed most all the medium / hard puzzles countless times to get more tokens, and have endured the ads over and over again as well. But there’s just no way to enjoy this game unless you’re willing to spend money. As you accumulate tokens, It raises the cost of the games. It has all the silly quests etc., but you get virtually nothing for completing them, nor for completing a board. And having completed EVERY puzzle, I am in the situation where I can no longer play at all. I can’t earn coins anymore because there are no new puzzles, and without coins I can’t even replay puzzles. So developers - Check my account - I’ve spent a considerable amount over the last few months. And you’ve effectively locked me out. Come off you’re greed just a notch or two and I’ll gladly give you five stars.

    Overall bad

    I love playing nonograms. I would consider myself to be extremely good at it. I play them 24/7. Actually playing the game itself is fun. It’s just everything else that isn’t. The whole solve one nonogram to unlock the a part of the puzzle seems fine, and I can understand why some people like it. But I personally don’t, and it’s hard to zoom in on a certain piece you want to do. I would try and zoom in and accidentally press a piece I didn’t want to do and accidentally use my tokens to play it. I would much prefer have levels instead. Tokens itself are bad. For some levels, there’s a timer to see how long it takes you to finish the puzzle and you will use that amount of tokens for how long it takes you to finish. The “pause”button isn’t even a pause button. It’s literally the button that looks like the settings. The only way you know it’s the pause button is because it says pause at the top. The puzzles are deceptive. I would consider “hard” levels to be super hard. Most puzzles force you to buy hints too. You look at a puzzle at every single angle and there’s literally not even one move you can make without having to buy a hint. It forces you to use coins. The game mechanics could be a lot better too. I could keep going on and say at least 8 more problems but I feel like I’ve gone far enough. There’s definitely better nonogram games you can get.

    Money Hog! 🐷

    Waaaay too token orientated with limited options for getting tokens without payment!!! Asking for money ALL the time !!!! A complete turnoff!!!!! Sure, you get some free tokens per day, but these are hardly enough to play even one game! You can watch ads for a few more tokens, but again, may not be enough to add up to playing a game! Although they offer ways to get tokens free by completing some vendor ad requirements- I've tried some of these & I NEVER received my tokens- so it was a waste of my time!!! All this particular game is designed to do it tease you with a little, so that you become a buying machine for tokens!!!! BUY, BUY, BUY MORE TOKENS!!!!! This is the mantra of this game!!! It's Especially irritating when you finally have enough tokens saved up for a game & the puzzle turns out to be a simple one!!! I enjoyed this game in the beginning, the designs are cute, BUT NOW ITS a TURNOFF. The coins are useless & serve no purpose for me, & you can't turn them into tokens- which are the only thing you can use to buy a puzzle! The tokens are too hard to get without payment, & even if you have tokens, the amount needed to open a puzzle is ridiculous!!! Frankly, there are too many other choices out there for pixal logic puzzles that don't have these issues for me to bother much with this particular version!!! Don't waste your time or money!!!!!

    Misleading to the point of being fraud

    First of all the game itself is fun and addicting. The problem lies in the tokens. They only give you a hand full of tokens and once you get far enough each puzzle costs 20 to 30 tokens. They don't regenerate very fast so unless you do the "quests" you can't play the game anymore unless you pay real money (lots of it). So you look through the list of quests and they look pretty simple. That's where the fraud comes in. I find one that says "take a 2 question survey for 38 tokens". So I click on it, take a 5 question survey and get 2 tokens. Ok whatever, let's go to the next. This survey says 4 questions for 60 tokens. So I start the survey and it starts asking for all sorts of personal info, but I go along with it. About 50 questions later (when the app says it would be 4), I get a prompt that I have to actually order a product with real money to finish the survey. That wasn't what I agreed to so I skip it. I get zero tokens for that, but they took all my info. So basically don't expect to actually get tokens from the quests, they rarely actually give you what they say they will. Between that and the constant barrage of ads, I can't recommend this to anyone. It's a blatant money grab game that will flat out lie to you in order to get you to click on things. It probably should be pulled from the store IMO

    Great game if you have money to give away

    Let me start by saying that I love this game. Played it every day. I am a paraplegic in a wheel chair so this game kept me occupied and I loved playing it. That being said, you cannot keep playing the game unless you want to wait days for coins to accumulate or you have to buy coins. They do run special deals on coins at times where you get 1500 for the price of 1000. This is when I would always purchase them. I would buy two “mega packs” which would give me 3000 coins. I was doing this a couple times a week at what should have been $20. But, and it’s a big BUT, several times I was charged for three mega packs instead of two. The first time I didn’t do anything because I thought maybe I ordered three by mistake. After that I was very careful of what I ordered and made sure I only received the 3000 coins. The second time i was overcharged I knew I only received two mega packs, but again was charged for three. I contacted the company and they refunded me for the third pack. All good, play on. The third time it happened I messaged them again and, guess what, they won’t refund the extra pack they charged me for. This game is expensive enough without being overcharged every time you order coins. For this reason I am forced to give up on a game that I really enjoyed playing.
