Crosswords With Friends for Positive User Reviews
✓ Entertaining but need more free coins it’s my one good thing for the day and I don’t want to gambleLove it.Version: 3.8.7
✓ Ads.The newest ads are very annoying. They say you can skip the rest of the add after a certain number of seconds and still receive the points reward. However, when you skip the ad at the appropriate time it throws you out of the game & you must restart the game again to continue. And you still receive no points. Absolutely misleading & frustrating. Thanks for giving me the chance to “sound off”. Love the game other than those ads. My problem is with ads as well. Many times I completely watch the ads but do not receive credit points. At other times I am cut off after one or two ads with a message saying that no more messages are able to run and to try back later. Many times I just lose the chance to earn more points..Version: 4.1.2
✓ Makes one thinkGreat everyday puzzle game, with different themes. However please don’t switch “show me the wrong tiles” on automatically - I like to chose when to use my coins. Thanks !.Version: 50.11.509
✓ Watch video for free coins not workingMay 10, 2023 Great game but the watch video for free coins is not working..Version: 51.3.1015
✓ Agree great butI thoroughly enjoy this app except for its most annoying habit of using many more tokens than it says are needed. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to the reduction in the number of tokens to download a puzzle. Otherwise I would recommend this app for many happy hours of entertainment..Version: 2.7.3
✓ Crosswords with friendsExcellent game. Keeps your mind active.Version: 2.2.0
✓ Wilkos DadI like the daily challenge but living in England many of the clues are difficult as they refer to American culture, sport etc. Overall I enjoy the crosswords. The music crosswords tends to be mainly rap artists. It would be nice if this could include other genres of music. This is still part of my morning routine in spite of my comments above. Have you considered giving extra points for beating previous best times. Looking at the best times some players have achieved I find it astonishing that some can complete a crossword in 0.1 seconds! How is it possible to even read one clue in that time? I don’t even think you could hit the hint buttons quickly enough. I am still enjoying my morning ritual of the crossword in spite of my previous comments, particularly the best times of fellow competitors being sub 10 seconds!.Version: 4.1.29
✓ Well presentedGreat to get answers given on people you have never heard off Which lets you finish puzzle.Version: 2.0.0
✓ Won’t let me playI have been using this App and playing Crosswords with Friends for a very long time. However, yesterday (14/Jan 2020) when I click on the App to play it just goes to the home page of the game and then literally seconds later it disappeared. I’ve tried several times with no success. I’ve deleted the App, reloaded it, shut down my tablet...all to no avail. Has anyone got the same problem and if yes how did you solve it?.Version: 3.9.1
✓ Very interesting, but incorrect coin reductionI find this game fun and interesting, but if we were to choose a puzzle from older dates, the app suggests that it will deduct 10 coins, but it actually takes away 30 coins. Not acceptable 😡.Version: 4.0.3
✓ Love my daily crossword!Finally got to 100 days in a row. Love the extra challenges along the way. My suggestion would be to add more bonuses when completing mile stones. 100 coins for 100 days is a little underwhelming and the next milestone is 200 days. We need a few more bonuses to keep it interesting. Would also love a few more Australian questions. I have no hope with American sporting trivia..Version: 4.1.4
✓ Achievements broken?Socialite stuck at 70% but I know I’ve added more than 10 people. I’m on day 105 of a streak and never for my 100 day achievement. Also, no more content available apart from daily puzzles. Even all packs can only be claimed, not played. Apart from those niggles, which are annoying, I look forward to doing the daily puzzle every day..Version: 4.0.3
✓ Reasonable wake up gameAs. UK resident, I find game a bit too American but that's to be expected if constructed in US. That said, it starts my day whilst waiting for my morning cup of tea to brew. I would like to see the ability to earn coins introduced. If we have to watch adverts, at least give us coins for doing so, like the Bonza word games app. I've tried the "watch a video for coins" button but continuously get the message that vids aren't available. Needs sorting! Also, just to add not everyone on the planet uses Facebook. I can't get points for some things as I don't do FB. Provide an alternative? Still enjoying my daily crossword! Finally, still can't claim badges which is annoying especially since I've earns them!.Version: 3.6.0.3532
✓ Great game - I love it but it’s not working and hasn’t for daysThe app won’t open, it freezes. A banner came up saying ‘ the environment has changed’ Please rectify as I haven’t been able to play for 5 days.Version: 50.2.1
✓ Crosswords reviewThe puzzles are fun and challenging. The only complaint that I have is when you go to “watch videos” for extra coins, I continuously receive error messages that there aren’t any videos to watch. This is long before you receive the “reach your limit” message. I wish that they would fix that because it’s extremely irritating! They also have these ads which have lasted at least 5-minutes and you can’t skip it because then the app locks and you don’t receive any credit. If any of these ads last longer than a minute, you ought to at least 10 credits instead of the insulting 5 credits! What else is irritating, is writing down a nickname that they want to use before sending a review. Another thing that is irritating is NOT receiving the credits after you watch these ads! However, you have to pick one that hasn’t been used!!! You know how many people use this App?!! This is ridiculous!!! It’s been over 3 months and guess what, the issues still aren’t fixed! With one exception, haven’t seen anymore of those infomercials..Version: 3.8.4
✓ Nice quick brain workoutPretty easy puzzles, nothing too brain challenging, or weird high-brow unused vocab, but just enough variety of topic sources to give you a 5 minute brain workout. Could be 5 stars, but far too many Americanisms like TV channels, brands and local sport celebs that are not internationally known. Also, there are more Great Lakes than just Erie, but its vowel-heavy name makes it an easy fit I guess. Lots of repeated 3-letter-words that pop up most weeks. But like I said, still enough variety to keep me interested for over 600 days so far..Version: 3.6.0.3532
✓ AwesomeGood fun each day. Would be good if you could earn coins through the puzzles a bit more. Also what happened to the bonus puzzles? Haven’t seen them for ages..Version: 4.0.0
✓ EnjoyableI enjoy this game. I try to complete one puzzle a day but it's not always possible and coins are needed to play previous day's game. But I can't see how coins are rewarded. It's possible to buy coins by viewing an advert, which I'm happy to do, but most times I try to do this the facility is unavailable. Very frustrating..Version: 3.8.4
✓ Great crossword BUT!Absolutely love this crossword, I play it everyday BUT! I wish the developer would make it so you don’t accidentally push the hint buttons. I lose so many from just grazing the top of the hint buttons while pushing the letters above. If the developer reads this put in a ask if you wish to continue to use this hint. Other than that keep up the good work..Version: 4.1.2
✓ Good way to waste some time.The answers are very American. So as a simple Aussie, it can make it a bit hard sometimes. Also very hard to get coins to be able to check wrong answers. But overall a good way to waste some time..Version: 3.7.0.3594
✓ Crosswords with FriendsI am really enjoying playing this. A lot of fun..Version: 2.2.1
✓ BrilliantSo much fun and possible to achieve!.Version: 3.6.0.3532
✓ CampbunyI have played this for a couple of years. Always enjoyed it till now. It keeps shutting down and I have to start over. It erases all my answers. Yesterday I had to start over 5 times before I could finish it and then only because when I had two blank boxes, I quickly spent 10 coins to fill in the last two letters. If I thought it wouldn’t shut down again, I would have taken a few minutes to to figure it out. Today, I’ve tried to remove it and then put it in again and it is still shutting down almost immediately. I’m not going to keep trying. All other programs I have are working fine. I won’t try more than once to do the puzzle and if it keeps shutting me down, I will delete it permanently in a few days. they fixed the shutting down problem and I am now enjoying it again. I feel it is a good game to keep my brain exercised..Version: 4.1.29
✓ It’s fun but...I have played Celebrity Crossword for years, but when I had to switch over to this game, it was like starting all over again. In some ways that was ok, because I got many coins in the beginning. But now even though it says in my stats I have played this 61 days in a row, I didn’t get the coins for playing any of the consecutive days. I agree with someone who was not happy about the hints eating up coins. I hit one by accident, but made no mistakes so didn’t realize it. The next few days I also made no mistakes. It wasn’t until 4 days of losing coins each day, I made a mistake and then noticed it was on, and that my coin numbers were way down. It would also be good to be more realistic about the tournaments. How can anyone with a life ever win? The top winners, unless I am not understanding something, has to be playing 100s of games in a week!! I guess in this case the old adage that “you have to spend money to get money”, is true. The most stars you can get in a week is 21, so people in the top leader board with hundreds of stars are spending lots of coins to get lots of coins. One week I figured the leader had to play at least 30 puzzles a day!! But, the clues are fun and just challenging enough to not get boring. I enjoy the bonus puzzles and the chance to win badges ( those are realistic). I do recommend this app to crossword puzzle fans. Unless you are an avid NYTd puzzle solver. Then this is way too easy..Version: 2.6.0
✓ It’s that Hit to the head when needed…They’re not always challenging….frustration on top of frustration is hardly the solution.., But often they’re just enough to distract you from what’s bothering you… giving your head the space to unconsciously find the solution you didn’t know you were even considering…. Keep it up!!.Version: 50.0.55
✓ Audio problems are worse nowIt was bad enough that the sounds would turn on for ads despite the phone being on silent mode. Now during the middle of game play the sound turns on and it cannot be silenced..Version: 51.10.1472
✓ Good for the ego!My experience with Crosswords with Friends is a happy one. The clues aren’t too hard, so it’s possible to complete most games, yet there is enough of a challenge to make it worthwhile. My only criticism is the extreme American bias of the clues. Luckily we’ve all been exposed to enough U.S. news, sport and entertainment to understand you!.Version: 2.8.0
✓ Crossword daily puzzleLove this game. Object to having to buy clues! I will leave the puzzle unsolved before I would subject myself to pay for clues. This is a game for enjoyment after all..Version: 51.7.1286
✓ For Crossword LoversGreat crosswords with added challenges and interesting themes. A little addictive but too many ads. I'm paying money to play often and still have to watch ads! App works well but have to be connected to data to use..Version: 3.2.0.3305
✓ PatsyEnjoy doing the crosswords everyday..Version: 4.1.29
✓ The crossword puzzleThis is a great crossword program, more ydesigned for the USA purely because many clues are American orientated, I am a New Zealander, never the less, it is making me more conscious of USA products and areas etc, I like it and suggest you try it out for yourselves..Version: 2.2.0
✓ Fix problems!Have been playing for sometime but in last few days keeps shutting down, and then you have to keep buying, yesterday it shut down three times before I could finish the puzzle and tonight it shut down twice, I have bought coins several times but if it's going to start messing up I will quit playing. Last week would have give 5 stars but not now. I bought 500 coins yesterday and I have already lost 20 last night and 60 tonight because the game keeps shutting down and every time you start over it takes 20 coins, also an ad about oil keeps coming on and usually that's when it shuts down! I've enjoyed playing this game but I'm tired of losing money! On 9/8/19 I had to update before I could get on app, I did and since then I cannot get app on my I pad, I have several coins on the app that I just recently bought, need to fix problem!.Version: 3.8.6
✓ Fun and Helps Exercise Your BrainGreat app. Love to play games that require a little thought instead of just luck. Would be nice if there were more ways to earn coins..Version: 51.3.1015
✓ I’d pay for no ads.That’s all hate ads..Version: 51.7.1286
✓ Hating all the adsI’ve enjoyed playing this for years now but lately the number of ads in between games has become ridiculous. It’s gotten so bad I’m thinking of deleting the app..Version: 51.3.1015
✓ ExcellentLike the new format of the game and that you can get lots of coins now! Only problem being is it’s back to not giving you the full amount of coins without a struggle! Can’t complain though really they are free!!.Version: 4.1.20
✓ Great gameInteresting, educating and good for the brain.Version: 3.6.0.3532
✓ Crosswords With FriendsVery entertaining. Surprisingly, it makes me more curious and aware of who and what are involved in various areas of the news that have usually been of very limited interest to me. Thank you for opening the door to new avenues! It makes me think it’s an opportunity to review my knowledge of current events. It also makes me think about the person or persons who are responsible for developing the puzzle itself. For example, so many expressions are commonly used in my particular part of the country, which isn’t a very large or well-known part and yet no matter what, it seems that we share a similar knowledge in their usage. It’s fun to realize we have a connection, no matter which part of this wonderful country we have grown up in. I don’t know if this makes sense when I see what I have written, but I have laughed when a correct answer is a word or thought that I believed was strictly a part of my hometown and not familiar with a heavily populated or sophisticated area..Version: 4.1.29
✓ Crosswords with friendsGood to do each day but the new version is not very clear and I can’t see at a glance what I can do next. I don’t want to be told I like to choose I think that’s where the clarity is missing. The actual crosswords themselves are good.Version: 50.0.27
✓ Great to unwind withHaving been doing this crossword for about five years now and always look forward to doing it everyday as part of a little “unwind Me time Even now a few years on I still love this game as it helps me to unwind & relax👍👏👏👏👏❤️🤝 This simple game has become a bit of my daily “ME” time 😉👍🤝👏👏👏.Version: 3.9.1
✓ Enjoyable game but crashes too oftenCrashes upon Launch. Enjoyable however, far too many americanised questions..Version: 50.0.40
✓ Good crossword but very AmericanThis is quite a good crossword to do - not difficult at all and good to get your brain working early in the day. However, some questions are about American TV, sports etc so I find that irritating to be honest.Version: 50.0.51
✓ Fun, but...It’s a fun game to play and I love the “extra” puzzles that they have every week to earn badges & extra letters and such. To win more coins to spend, you can watch ads, but...sometimes the game doesn’t give you your coins that you’ve earned after you’ve watched the ad. There have been plenty of times that I’ve given up watching when I noticed that I wasn’t being credited the coins. Why waste my time? Otherwise, it’s a fun game to play and I love to play it daily. UPDATE: I absolutely HATE the Word Seeker Mini Games that they occasionally put out. You scan on the letters to make words and your words aren’t even on the list. And then their words are words that don’t make any sense or you’ve never even heard of. It’s frustrating. I don’t play those word seeker games anymore when they pop up on the Home Screen. I’ll forgo the badge and “prizes” that you get when you play that mini game..Version: 4.1.4
✓ Crosswords with friendsI only ever play alone, and sometimes it’s hard because it’s Americanised, sportsman we don’t know, or little known in GB a tors etc., but I usually finish it anywhere between 6-10 minutes, part of my morning routine, ales my brain up. All my family do it now, it can be addictive..Version: 50.1.0
✓ Good fun and addictiveLove the challenge, but too many American sportsmen, celebrities , Tv programs etc which mean you have to be able to buy more points to be able to complete the puzzle effectively if you are not American..Version: 2.8.1
✓ Rating. 4 stars. Love the game, but free earned coins format is lacking.Still 4 stars because of the ads now lately . One or two are shown over and over. The war one repeats all the time and half the time doesn’t give you the coins or freezes. Game play stops in the midst of plat once in a while, too, which is annoying. Game hops from one part to another during play at times as well. Ads are better now. I will not buy coins. I love the free ad views for free coins, but lots are public service announcements that repeat too much. Took off ads that were just fun or gave a safe challenge or preview of how to play. Love the golf play ads. Don’t mind the ads for free points. The bonus puzzles are nice for people who are here for a great game & challenge. Lots of us just love this game! Also words with friends. All in all, still a great game and I love it. I still love both games. But lately the ads repeat over & over, time after time. Wish they would not show the same ones over & over. Best games play, however, that I’ve ever had ! Like the extra puzzle. Great game ( crosswords) Like to play individually..Version: 3.8.7
✓ Good wake up routineThis is a good way to get your brain going first thing in the morning, however the Weekly Rewards facility no longer works. Even after completing both puzzles all week my coins do not increase, hence the 4 stars.Version: 50.7.288
✓ Puzzle tockensThe puzzles are good. I like the extra random puzzles, I would prefer less number of tokens to catch up on past puzzles. There is also a bias on American sports, politics and culture questions, being Australian I struggle with Hall of Fame, team locations, players, etc. Thank you PD.Version: 2.9.2
✓ AD INTERRUPTION makes it IMPOSSIBLE to complete puzzle.Impossible to see lower keyboard when pop up ad for LAZY WORK OUT comes on. It covers up the keys and is not transparent. How stupid is that! If I try to tap the uppermost part of a hidden key I am constantly taken to the App Store. I do enjoy the crosswords but this ruins the game every time..Version: 51.9.1361
✓ Don’t like the ads blocking the puzzlePlayed this for years,and love it but lately the ads are interfering with my crossword where I can’t see the puzzle cause the ads blocking It’s pissing me off!.Version: 51.3.1015
✓ Latest update a failUpdate Jul 25, 2021. Not sure why the interface for this game was completely changed. It is glitchy and harder to read and find things. e.g. 1) During games with items awarded, when I finish the word, it doesn’t go to the next word. It just randomly goes somewhere else. And some squares aren’t white, they turn pink. 2) I don’t get a message at the end of a game that something is wrong if I’ve messed up somewhere. It used to tell me. Now it just sits there using up the clock until I figure it out. 3) I have to click on each puzzle pack to see how many coins I need to finish it. This used to be easily seen on one screen. Too much back and forth between screens. Developers, what happened to regression testing?? Update Aug 5, 2020. Ever since the last update, coins are not awarded for completing a puzzle pack. And I’ve searched and searched and can’t figure out who to send a request to! Crosswords are always a good way to pass the time. This game is easy and straightforward. I just wish there was a way to know if someone accepted or rejected your invite..Version: 50.0.24
✓ DisappointingI ordered a top off of one of your advertisers and paid with a credit card. I never received it and that was a year ago. I wrote them several times to inquire where it was but just got vague replies back. You need to be careful about the ads you place on your games because now I would never order through them again! Barb.Version: 51.2.943
✓ Great start to the dayI love completing these crosswords every morning before I start the day. Keeps the brain ticking over. My only criticism is that it is very American and being from England there are often quite a few things I’ve never heard of and a few spelling differences between original English and American English. For example a car tyre is spelt tire in the US and a mother is spelt mum in the UK but mom across the pond. After a while though you get used to the kind of questions that pop up. I’d like to find a UK version but this one is still really good..Version: 4.1.4
✓ Non AmericanI enjoy this crossword every day and look forward to solving it. I am from Scotland and have very scant knowledge of American sports and television so this means I have to use search engines to get the correct answers, but it all adds to the pleasure when I see the stars at the end. Very enjoyable indeed and keeps this 77 year old brain ticking over. Thank you.....Version: 4.1.4
✓ Coin accrualWhilst I enjoy the game I think there needs to be a reward system for finishing the puzzle. The reward can be a sliding scale based on getting it done without assistance and right first time.Version: 2.3.0
✓ A great app for crossword addictsWritten for an American audience but this does not detract from this app. for a Brit! The questions are not too challenging which is great for gently waking up in a morning. There are coins and badges to win and extra puzzles occasionally. I have been a constant user for some years now and look forward to it every morning..Version: 4.1.20
✓ Cross words with friendsTop Notch app! This is the best app ever to get for a free game to play and still have a great time! But as of today, I cannot get in to the game itself! Do not know why yet and at this point in time it will cost me a lost streak day, yet again, unfortunately.

IT IS ONLY FAIR PLAY, DEVELOPERS! PLEASE GET BACK TO ME SOON! THANKS!.Version: 4.0.0
✓ Great gameGreat game but as most people are saying, the amount of tokens needed are a big excessive especially with them being difficult to get back after playing for an amount of time..Version: 2.5.0
✓ Crosswords with friendsGreat crosswords. Wish I didn’t have to pay for old crosswords though. Would be great if I could access the videos for free coins.Version: 4.1.28
✓ Great butI really like the crosswords, the ads are annoying and you use too many tokens per game. The other difficult thing is not being able to do a previous days crossword without using tokens if you don't get to it on the day it is posted. But I enjoy the crosswords so I will just play the days I can.Version: 2.2.1
✓ Crosswords with friendsEnjoy playing the game but very frustrating when trying to get coins by watching the videos as more times than ever it says try later. Also after updating, can’t see my friends on my list..Version: 50.0.45
✓ Great game, problem with adsLately there have been several ads that basically lock the game on my iPhone 11 with latest OS. The exit X is placed so far up in the right corner of the screen as to be in a system are and will not close the ad. The most recent is the new Olympic ads. Very annoying to have to shut down the game completely to just play. Also the newest format change has a few bugs. Once full the back arrow no longer works to erase so you have to tap on squares to make corrections. Also currently when you answer one of the highlighted answers say horizontally while doing down answers you get the you got it right effect it seems to switch you back to across instead of continuing on down..Version: 50.0.24
✓ BuggyFor some reason I can’t connect to app when I’m using my mobile data. It says ‘there’s an error and it can’t connect to server’. It connects fine when I’m using WiFi but I can never use the app on the go..Version: 4.1.3
✓ Sometimes FrustratingI play it daily with my sister but ongoing issues with being unable to send each other gifts is beyond frustrating. Gifting friends is not working AGAIN..Version: 51.10.1472
✓ Fun but irritatingFixed the ad loading issue but now it takes 2 to 3 taps to activate. Second, why does it take up to30 seconds to recognize puzzle completed? Puzzle incorrect is instantaneous. You have to know that I’m within two letters of correctly finishing. Why not show a thermometer of completeness? They stopped allowing points for ads. Every other app never has a issue with displaying ads. This one can’t display more than one in a day. Can only get 5 points a day. If you make me wait 30 seconds to see ad can’t load, I should get the points anyway. Seeing ad cant load is very irritating. Fun to beat the timer but too easy to lose points. Points are too hard to get. Should get extra points if beat the best time. Watch ads should give more points and not be limited to one a day. Winning a badge should give more points than it takes to accomplish. Video not available should still give points..Version: 4.1.28
✓ Why so many ads?Edit to ad: I’ve been playing this game for several years. I once had two straight years of solving the puzzle of the day. But the ads are getting ridiculous. I understand the need for a revenue stream and I don’t mind paying to play. But this is excessive. I purchased the ad free version but it turned out to be $8.99 per MONTH! Maybe worth it per year, but come on. Now it takes forever to load even with high speed internet, I guess it’s the ads or they are mining my account! Fun puzzle. Too much emphasis on celebrities, rap and modern news but enough “old” to keep interested. Not sure why we had to update to the “with friends” version but it’s still fun..Version: 51.9.1361
✓ Daily crosswordA great way to start the day!! I sometimes have a little difficulty with clues that are germane to the US but not the UK, but there are ways and means to work them out. I enjoy solving the puzzles very much and would heartily recommend this app to anyone.Version: 3.8.6
✓ Crosswords with friendsI really enjoy the puzzles but don't like the fact that it costs coins every time you play. It says "free game" but still takes 10 coins. Why? And there’s too many ads!.Version: 51.10.1472
✓ VideosGreat game ,When everything is working properly ! I watch the videos to get coins but never get them!!Why does the game take my coins when it says the game of the day is free,What a rip off!Please fix this problem…June 14th 2023 you still have not fixed the problem with the videos to get the coins …I am to the point where I will go to social media and tell everyone who plays this crossword game to boycott it or to delete it !!😡😡.Version: 51.5.1179
✓ HarveyNeed an easier way to get back to a question you have not been able to answer when other answers give you letters for that unanswered question. Very frustrating aspect..Version: 2.7.3
✓ Good but annoyingLove doing the crosswords on this app but has a few downfalls. I love doing the crosswords but you can’t continuously do them as you need coins to unlock different crosswords! Also, it’s all American orientated, there is no English version so some of the questions are simply impossible to do by an English person!! ENGLISH VERSION PLEASE.Version: 2.8.0
✓ Too US centricGreat game but the makers say they want this be the best crossword in the world. They need to understand therefore the world extends beyond the shores of the USA. The rest of the world knows little of NFL, NBA etc. There are other sports that are far more familiar to a global audience. Similarly there are TV shows with a global reach that could be featured and with clues that go beyond what (US) TV channel such a show is on. I know many in the US are unfamiliar with the world beyond their shores, but come on..Version: 2.7.3
✓ ProblemsI really dislike the new “upgrade.” I’ve had some problems, especially with the “mandatory” ads at the end of a game. Several of them will NOT allow you to close them. The only solution is to close the app and then you don’t get the tournament points for that puzzle. Also, the Simparica ad, which is shown repeatedly, causes the app to crash. I have reported it numerous times, yet nothing has been done. The only response given is a form email asking me to take a screenshot. The customer service is horrible. Generic responses, with the occasional “too bad for you.” If you ever have any problems, these people aren’t going to lift a finger to help. They’re only here for the money..Version: 50.0.41
✓ Crashes constantlyI have purchased the newest and latest iPad. I love this game but it keeps crashing and is so frustrating. Every time I reboot, I have lost money because it deducts a new set of coins from my winnings or purchases. I am so over this I can only rate it poorly.... Since my last posting, there seem to have been some major improvement or updates that has stopped the problems happening, so I give full points back to this game. It is brilliant, mind working and challenging..Version: 3.8.6
✓ Really funLove it.Version: 3.8.3
✓ Nice daily crossword gameYou can play each day’s puzzle for free, and one ad is shown after you complete it. Puzzles from the archive cost 10 game coins to play; you get coins by completing achievements, playing partner apps, watching ads or buying them with actual money. It’s possible to get plenty enough coins without paying so the game works pretty well. One thing to be aware of: if you turn on the “show wrong letters” option, it comes on for every game you play, unless you turn it off again in the settings. That costs an extra 20 coins per game, which eats your coins unbelievably fast..Version: 2.8.0
✓ Awesome gameI love it.Version: 2.4.1
✓ Having trouble againI have been unable to get into the crossword as the little blue icon just spins and does nothing. I reloaded the app but that only got me one day and I still cannot get onto the actual game. Can you please fix this or I will have to delete this app.....Version: 4.1.1
✓ Can’t access supportHi I can only find faqs, my question is very different. When I started playing I used my married name. I left him & changed my name, wanting nothing more to do with him. I changed my name in the app. However every time I open the app it displays the original name for at least 5 seconds, then changes to the correct name. I have tried uninstalling & reinstalling. Signing out & back in. This is definitely adversely affecting my game play. How can this be fixed?.Version: 50.0.55
✓ Good GameThis game is great. It’s annoying when you have to restart the app because the ads for free coins don’t load. It would be helpful to get a reminder to play your crossword or you lose all the days you have played.Version: 4.0.2
✓ Something has changed.We have been using the app for many years and lately, it is impossible to achieve some of my previous times. Too many actors or actresses we have never heard of. I dont want it too easy but its not supposed to be the NY Times..Version: 51.9.1361
✓ Petunia PatI really like this game. It’s somewhat challenging, but usually is entertaining. One of the reasons for the 3 star rating is that I feel you could provide more information on the amount of stars it costs to play a game. For instance, when I elect to play a game, up pops a ad that says 10 points. Well, that’s not exactly true. The games are already set up for 30 or more points and this is a bit deceiving. Why not be more open about this OR take down the 10 point sign. Just a thought. Another reason for the 3 star rating is the amount you charge for buying points. Why so much??? It’s not like I get anything for playing. Yes there’s badges, but let’s face it, I’m buying a picture of a badge. There’s no mention of names, except for the 25 or so names on the boards. I did not write this note just to complain. I really like your games. I’d also like to see your contests expanded, the coins needed to play should be reduced, and let’s face it, it takes a lot of playing to get most of the categories. I’m sorry to say that I have made my last purchase on your site. I can no longer justify the cost of your game. I also won’t write to you again. What’s the point? It’s not like you ever answer. Thanks..Version: 4.1.22.351
✓ Crosswords with friendsI really enjoy your crosswords every day...lots of variety, hard enough to make me think but not too difficult to finish. Many thanks for a lot of enjoyment. Lynette may.Version: 4.1.29
✓ EnjoyableGreat daily crossword app, just a shame it’s very americanised, sport tends to be baseball, basketball or American football; similarly with TV 🙄.Version: 4.1.29
✓ Okay enough to keepThe clues can sometimes be redundant and are a bit easy (especially in regards to the “filler words” surrounding the slightly more difficult “theme answers”). But on the bright side - it’s free, the ads are minimal and non-intrusive, and there are plenty of extra puzzles you can purchase with in-game tokens you earn from the achievements and events. I don’t spend a crazy amount of time on this app, but I like crosswords and I’ll pull up this game about once a day to do the daily puzzle. My main suggestion to improve the game would be to make puzzles with different difficulty levels. If that were a feature, I’d be a lot more invested in this app. However, if you’re looking to complete a quick puzzle on a break at work or something, this app is perfect for that..Version: 4.1.20
✓ Great game but so many bugs and annoyancesI’ve been playing for a long time. Every so often my streak gets reset. Very annoying when you’ve reached 200 consecutive games! Or even 20. The adverts are repetitive and annoying and you can’t close them when they’re finished. How about sorting out your methods of claiming coins - it really is pathetic in this day and age..Version: 51.10.1472
✓ Free find a wordI hold back one star due to the problem with the free find a word are too close to the letters of the alphabet and should be moved elsewhere Have had so many problems trying to play this game, keeps crashing. Very disappointed ☹️.Version: 50.0.41
✓ TapjoyLove the game but don’t like the false ads on it. Shame on you. There are enough legitimate ads you shouldn’t have to use false ones. Plus I never buy from any ads. If I think it’s something I might be interested in I go online and research the item. Most time they’re a scam..Version: 51.2.943
✓ Good but a bit repetitiveIt’s nice to play crosswords but sometimes the words that come up are quite repetitive from one puzzle to the next, e.g. ‘aria’ has been overused. It’s also quite difficult to get the coins. But for now I’ll keep playing.Version: 2.8.1
✓ RewardsAs much as I love doing the daily puzzle and occasional extra games, it’s getting more and more frustrating that the videos you can watch for extra coins don’t add into your total after watching the entire video. The Not Available is also annoying as it’s become more common than videos being available. This is getting worse and worse. Update: 5/8/20 The videos have been better in the last few weeks. Points are adding in correctly but getting notice that a video isn’t avail and to try later is still happening. Update: 3/8/21 Once again, the videos are not available. If you sign off completely and back on, you might get one. Very frustrating. Update 7/5/21: Getting videos had improved but sometimes still necessary to completely sign off and log back on to continue..Version: 4.1.29
✓ Fun to playEasy to use. No probs so far.Version: 2.10.0
✓ Kicks my morning offI usually do this crossword before going to work, I agree with other comments re very American with regard the questions, a more British version would be better, especially the sports questions. However that said I still enjoy trying to complete the crossword..Version: 2.2.1
✓ Love this game but…coinsUpdate on 11/3. Still one of my favorite games but am no longer able to play the puzzles listed on the page. Also, am no longer getting the crossword or find the words game. I don’t want to have to delete and restart because I will lose everything. I have played this game everyday for a few years. I love it. But for the last month or 2 every time I try to ‘’earn’’ coins by watching ads I watch the ad and as soon as it’s over the game crashes so I never get more coins. I read the ‘’help’’ section and looked for Tapjoy to contact them. I couldn’t find Tapjoy anywhere so I contacted them to explain my problem and they ignored me and closed the ticket. I am down to 15 coins and when they are gone I’m done…which is a real shame since I love the game. Update on 12/7. Still love but every time I try to see my standing in the weekly tournaments I get kicked out of the app. Everything else works fine!!!.Version: 50.16.686
✓ Love using it, but....It is so easy to lose your coins! Please, pretty please, move the buttons from the bottom of the screen, or at least put in a “are you sure” option! Also, I get that you are proud of your Cruciverbalists’ history, but can you get then to not be so American-centric with their clues? There is a big wide world out there that uses the WORLD wide web!.Version: 2.10.1
✓ AverageQuite an unreliable app. Always an issue loading the page even with a wifi connection.Version: 4.1.4
✓ Ads obscuring puzzleThe ads hide the top left corner of the puzzle and cannot be closed so that you lose your timing waiting for the ads to go away in order to see the words in the grids! Not good!.Version: 51.6.1247
✓ Great stress relieverThis app is quite good. It asks easy questions that require easy answers. Also, a fail safe with inserting letters when you have a mental block. I highly recommend Crosswords with friends...Version: 3.8.0.3664
✓ EnjoyableI look forward to my daily puzzle. I suggest you move the help button which overlaps he "n" key, several times I've accidentally hit it and lost coins on a help that I didn't actually want. It's a little too America centric (especially the sport clues) for a game aimed at an international market..Version: 3.8.9
✓ ReviewGreat game to improve on knowledge and very addictive but difficult to earn coins. Puzzle packs are all the same price and doesn’t change, I think the game creators could take a look at putting some on sale or lowering the costs.Version: 3.8.7
✓ Love this but in app purchases not loadingI really enjoy this game but recently I needed to purchase extra coins. I tried 2 times- nothing. Apple refunded these purchases. I have just tried again and nothing. I followed instructions within the game but had to resort to a refund. There is also no opportunity to earn free coins by watching videos. Is there a current glitch?.Version: 4.0.3
✓ Make it so coins are easier to getGreat game but trying to get coins is difficult as the videos either don't work or you get get any at all. Why can't you make it a bit easier for people to play..Version: 2.2.1
✓ Update WarningsMy tablet is old and I had completed every themed puzzle since October 1, 2012. August 30, 2023 I installed the new update to cause my app to crash. Because the app doesn’t open I can’t do anything to keep my work. I love the puzzles, they are one of the ways I keep my mind sharp..Version: 51.8.1332
✓ As addictive as words with friendsGreat little app. Seems simple but a few are hard to finish without buying credits. Less USA dominated answers would be appreciated..Version: 2.2.1
✓ Great but issue with adsI love this game. I play every day, all 3 sizes of puzzle. I hate with a passion that I have to face 20/30 seconds of the SAME advert (usually royal match bragging how their game doesn’t have ads) after every puzzle, in a loop of next/try close/next/try close. Please please do something about the ads or at least make them more varied or it will eventually make me stop playing..Version: 51.2.943
✓ I Love It!!! But I’m disappointed!I love it and do it every day! I really think it’s terrible that you have to use your hard earned coins to play past puzzles!! If you didn’t have to pay to do old puzzles, I would give 5 stars!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I wrote this a year or two ago. Recently, the game crashed and I couldn’t play. When I got a message from you saying it was fixed, I had to reload and update the game. In the process, I lost everything. I couldn’t remember my sign in name or anything. I had to start completely over. I had been playing for years. I had played all the puzzles and was now having to replay them to get extra points. I had over 1500 coins. I had earned the coins, not bought them! After starting over, I have 530 coins. I’m disappointed!.Version: 50.0.41
✓ Household Fav!One of the two best Crossword apps ever! This is a fav in my house, even the elementary school kiddo loves it! You’ll have plenty of puzzles to do when you get lucky and have downtime. You just have to take 20 seconds from your hectic day to open and close out of today’s puzzle before 10pm EST and it stays unlocked for you to come back to and solve during your downtime. Once the next days puzzle is posted, it’ll cost you 10 coins to “unlock” another days puzzle; unless you opened it before the next days was posted. It’s also pretty easy to get/build up your coins, too so you can spend 10 coins to solve puzzles from before/ones you forgot to “unlock” before the next days was posted..Version: 4.1.29
✓ !Grandma!I love playing the crosswords and would do it all day if I could but I can’t afford to pay for each game and the free stars run out too quickly. Supposedly, youare able to getting 9 stars at a time and that only gives you enough to play 2 puzzles/games in a 12 hour period. The newest hurdle is the not available message that keeps popping up. You can’t play a puzzle without enough points and the points can’t be gotten. For the past month I have only been able to get 2 stars for a nine hour period. It is VERY frustrating and I am being forced to change my crossword clue company!!! To me, that is giving me nightmares. I really do love your puzzles but on a regular basis!!! Is there anything I can do to fix this????? Marge Friedman (74 years “young”🤪.Version: 4.1.21
✓ Crosswords with FriendsReally enjoy these daily crosswords, eat breakfast and do not move till completed, then dash about to get ready. Hooked, totally hooked - just keep them coming. Fantastic, keeps the old brain matter working..Version: 50.0.45
✓ CrosswordsGot me hooked! Paid mega NZ dollar to be able to play another crossword! Harsh not to be able to do if we don't spend the monies????????? N' then need to wait long hours till another one appears! Need to see ads and earn coins for playing - not to just get free ones when go in and 9 out of 10 times cuts out and don't get the "5" awarded points anyway???? I'm happy n' hooked - lol - but you ones might need to upgrade??????.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Mrsmargery fletcherGood game but for days you cannot access the free points or you only get five points then nothing I don’t think I will be paying the twenty pounds again if this continues its supposed to be a bonus ,I think you are just being greedy..Version: 4.1.29
✓ I have loved this game for more than five years...It has been a daily entertainment. But now you have become greedy and made it impossible to play without paying cash for points. You initiated the watching of videos to gain points, but for three days that has not worked. You had puzzle packs that allowed getting puzzles at a lower rate,but suddenly all the packs are gone and there are no more in the store. A couple of times you have announced that there were NEW puzzle packs available, but in reality there were only one or two games left in the one pack you offered. I am good at this game, but I can not afford to pay to play, so I will be leaving and finding a better game that is not so greedy..Version: 4.1.20
✓ Double dippingSince when do you pay for tokens to play as well as being subjected to 30 second advertisements between games? Then there is no reward for watching this advertising. This is double dipping in my book. Tokens are also expensive, too many are used to play and rewards to earn tokens are miserly. You need to make the experience more reasonably affordable for your clients, as the incentive to continue paying is quickly waning..Version: 4.1.29
✓ Crosswords with friendsGreat fun, makes you think.Version: 4.0.2
