What people like
- Works perfectly without an internet connection
- Easy to check answers for accuracy
- No ads interrupt your gameplay
What they complain about
- You must pay after three free games
- Clues are vague or use British English
- Cursor jumps around illogically after updates
GREAT!
Great pass time, helps to keep my mind sharp and focused.
No menu
What happened to the menu…there are no options to change preferences
Level
Would like them harder
Not USA clues
Nice features but I don’t think the puzzles were American made. I have found many clues don’t make sense to American english.
Awkward progression
Good clues but cannot traverse back and forth between Horizontal and Vertical answers.
Fun, fun
Great fun. Straightforward. Not weird clues.
Vague clues
Clues are vague and some of them are of non English origin.
Great Puzzles
Great puzzles but what they don’t tell you is that after you play 3 games you have to pay to play any more. If you like doing puzzles these are good. Worth the $2.99 to get. So far it hasn’t frozen or shutdown on me and NO ads!!!
Difficulty level
If you do the New York Times app these puzzles are Monday level. Fun but easy. I did however only start one of the puzzles… Maybe some of the other puzzle packs are more difficult.
Good but Annoying
To start I am a novice at crossword puzzles. I like this app as it is easy to check answers and crawl along. In many features it is good for me. But I am only on my second puzzle and I have found a number of clues that are just wrong. Like durable wood, this answer should be Teak. But there answer is Pine? How about a clue of obscured. Their answer is Perdu which has a definition nowhere close to obscure, Annoying.
Great app
Easy to use and very consistent and reliable app. Love it.
Too many repetitive answers between puzzles
I like the puzzles but many of the answers are repeated in most puzzles. They may have different questions to get to those answers. It would be nice to see the answers repeated in maybe one out of ten puzzles instead of one out of two.
Poor update
I WAS enjoying these crossword puzzles. But this update is terrible. When you insert a letter, the cursor now jumps to another word in a very different and illogical manner. Please return to the former way.
Not bad
Purchased the packs (540 puzzles). Not bad overall. Too much British influence in clues and answers. Many repetitive words (don’t know how much more ova, era, and err I can take).
The Best
I’m so enjoying this crossword puzzle. The most enjoyable, challenging and very reasonable I’ve ever played. Thank you
Okay
This is an okay app. The clues they give are too vague to be helpful. This causes much consternation and trial and error when you do happen to figure out a clue. This could be much better if they made specific categories for each crossword too (e.g., philosophy, history, pop culture, geography, metaphysics, etcetera). As of now, even though I paid for all the packs, it is a delete.
Great to pass the time
I used to have an Android phone and this was my favorite crossword puzzle app. I’m glad it is on the App Store too. Aesthetically it is also better too. Only problem is that completed puzzles don’t seem to register as completed. Backup also crashes the app.
Great
Just the right level of difficulty to be enjoyable.
Great Until I Have to Purchase to Continue
Thought this was the crossword I'd been looking for until I have to purchase future games. No thanks. Deleting from my phone after this review.
Challenging
The 2 points I applaud are: 1. I almost always learn a word new to me in one of these puzzles. 2. It is possible to check a letter or a word for accuracy.
Latest updates aren't worth it
The clue has been moved to the bottom of the puzzle and it randomly moves the highlighted square when it's the last letter of a word. Unrelated to the updates: puzzles are decently challenging but sometimes I think they are stretching a bit with the clues and intended answers. I like it when I'm sitting in a doctor's office or on an airplane. Helps pass the time.
Good app
Greet for short stints of downtime. No need for connection. Can be played in airplane mode.
MB
Great app for learning how to do crosswords and improve skill...really helps!
Latest update
Thank you for your latest update that corrected my iPad issue. This is a very nice app and I highly recommend it.
Crossword
Pretty decent crossword, there’s plenty of different puzzles and once all of the puzzles have been completed all you have to do is clear each puzzle. When you open the crossword after all of the puzzles have been deleted, the puzzles get reloaded with new hints and answers. I’ve had the app for well over a year and have reloaded a couple of times and very few hints are the same as the previous puzzles.
