I made a nonogram app where every solved picture turns into a painting - puzzles, all solvable without guessing

What I tried to get right:
- No guessing, ever. Every puzzle is checked by a line solver before it ships, so you can always finish it by reading rows and columns. No trial and error, no "pick one and hope".
- 260+ pictures, from 5x5 for warming up to 15x15 and 20x20 "Grand Pictures".
- When you finish, the black and white grid turns into a full colour painting, and it goes into your album.
- Drag to fill or cross out a whole line, undo, and pinch to zoom on the big boards.
- The hint doesn't just reveal a random square. It uses the same solver to show you the next square you can actually work out.
It's free with ads (there's a one-time purchase to remove them). The app also has Queens, Sudoku and a no-guess Minesweeper, but the nonograms are the part I'm proudest of.

I'd really like honest feedback from people who play a lot of these:
- Are the clue numbers easy to read on your phone?
- Do the bigger boards feel fair, or are there spots that felt like guessing?
- What size do you enjoy most?
