About

You know that feeling when a puzzle app interrupts you with a full screen ad the moment you're concentrating? Pictolo is the opposite of that. Pictolo is picture cross (also called nonograms or picross): use the number clues to fill in squares, and a little hand-drawn picture appears. It's the crossword's artistic cousin, and it is wonderfully moreish. WHY PEOPLE STAY - No ads. None. Not even on the free plan. - No lives, no timers, no energy to run out. - Every puzzle is checked to be solvable by pure logic. You never have to guess. - Works completely offline: flights, ferries, waiting rooms. - A fresh daily puzzle and a gentle streak to keep you company. WHAT'S INSIDE - 540 hand-drawn puzzles, filed in 27 size folders from tiny 4x4 up to sprawling 30x30. Pinch to zoom on any puzzle, so no square is ever too small for comfortable tapping. - Smart touches: swipes lock to a line with a run counter as you drag. Your marks are your own: the app never fills in answers for you, so every solve is honestly earned. - A ninety-second interactive tutorial: learn by solving, tap by tap. - Hints for when you're well and truly stuck. - Your progress saves itself, mid-puzzle, always. FREE AND PRO The free plan gives you a proper taste: the 4x4 and 5x5 folders, the daily puzzle every single day, and three hints a day. Pictolo Pro opens every larger size folder, unlimited hints, a live preview of your picture and red numbers flagging a line with a wrong square, as a small subscription (monthly or yearly) or a single pay-once lifetime price. No pressure either way, and new sizes are always in the works. Made in Ireland. Questions or a puzzle you'd love to see?
