Nonogram.com Color: Câu đ‪ố‬ 12+

This app is by far my favorite so far for these puzzles and I have to admit- I’m hooked! However I’ve been running into a big issue/glitch pretty consistently for a while now. Ever since around the 1000th level (I’m now on the 2900th level), the game has been getting slower and laggier. It tends to be fine if you reboot the app, but after a few levels, the app gets very laggy and doesn’t register all your clicks immediately. And once this happens, it only starts getting slower and slower until you reboot. Now weirdly enough, the app lags your entire phone, not just the game. When you try and exit the game, or even fully close it by double clicking the home button and swiping up, your whole phone lags.
Either way, it’s just an annoyance but it won’t stop me from trying to complete all the levels in the game! (I believe there’s 3500 right??)
Thanks!

Hello, thanks for writing a review. We are sorry to hear about your experience! Could you please contact us through the 'Help' in the app at your earliest convenience? We'll do our best to solve this problem.

Edit: this developer consistently makes updates that are counter-intuitive to the user experience. If you play both the black and white game and the color game, you’ll know that if you leave a puzzle in the middle there is an option to either continue or restart. In the original black and white game, the continue button it on top, and the restart button is on the bottom, while in this game they’ve inexplicably reversed it, so if you play a lot and by muscle memory you’re going to be completely screwed in this game and constantly restarting things you didn’t intend to. It’s IMMENSELY frustrating and not at all necessary. Just another in a series of puzzling decisions that make me wonder who is designing their UX, or if they actually play their own games.

This is a great update to the black and white game. The color totally fixes my main issue with their first game (which is that it’s hard to see whether you have the X or the block selected, and clicking on the toggle switches you automatically, even if you wanted the one you were already on). With this one, because it’s color, you select the color and the block type, so it’s much easier to tell, and the toggle function doesn’t automatically switch back and forth. Perfect update.

Hi! Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. In our recent updates, the order of the buttons in both black & white and multicolored versions of our Nonogram app was made the same. Please update the app to the latest version in the App Store. If you have any further suggestions on how to improve our app, please feel free to contact us. Thank you!

I don’t know why I’m going to bother writing this, because the suggestion will go nowhere. I am addicted to the b&w version and decided to give this one a try. It fixes some of the issues from the other, but can be much better. The biggest problem with the game is visibility. It uses rectangles to identify the color, and small white numbers. It’s not terrible with darker colors, but near impossible to read on the yellow and pink. I probably wouldn’t have had the issue when I was younger, but now it’s hard to see the difference between the tiny white 2 and 3 on the yellow background. The font size is much better on the b&w version. Using the larger iPad didn’t help. Would you consider using that larger font, and applying the color to the number instead of having the background?

The other issue is it’s hard to tell the difference between the pink rectangle and the washed out (completed) red. There have been many times I thought I completed squares but found out they were pink after attempting to X them out.

Now that I’m older these are the type of games I like. I can’t help but believe you are losing a large segment of potential users (and ad revenue) by having these usability issues.

Hello! We are reaching out to let you know that there's a new version of Nonogram Color available in the App Store! Please update your app for app stability improvements. We made numbers black on lighter colors to make the numbers more visible. We'll keep working on improving the app. Please stay tuned for our updates!
