Daily Themed Crossword Puzzles for Negative User Reviews
✓ Sound in ads makes this app unusableFor those of us that use this app while listening to music, the (very unnecessary) sound in ads is unbearable. I use this app to help fall asleep so I play calming music in the background and having it always interrupted by some pointless jingle is the opposite of relaxing. It’s a shame as I like the overall app but if this doesn’t change I’ll have to give up on it and find a different one. Please consider, at the least, turning off auto play on ads.Version: 1.572
✓ Would like it in englishThe game is good but american spelling is letting english spelling users down. For example, As in ecg which is electronic cardiograph in engish being ekg in america means what ? So do you spell cardio with a K then? How are we supposed to know that? All users should be able to play. Etc. How confusing. No good for us. And if you subscribe having limited play with show wrong words on constantly would be good with a one off a year price to pay..Version: 1.444
✓ Not relevantShould use less old music and more modern singers and songs in musical category.Version: 1.600
✓ Very annoying bugThis app is fun when I can actually play. More than half the time I open it though it’s an entirely black screen with a rectangular box (an orange gradient color) with a green rectangle inside that. Force closing and opening it again doesn’t fix it. Super annoying..Version: 1.380
✓ ???Fix the glitches sooo annoying freezes ALOT lately, to many ads as well and annoyingly long will delete game if not revised!.Version: 1.584
✓ Genuine reviewGood game, way too many ads it’s frustrating so I’ve deleted it.Version: 1.488
✓ Apps always bugging on my IPhone x last ios versionWhen i open the apps, i have the title page then it switch to a black screen with what is like a commercial banner but with nothing in it except colors. Very annoying!!.Version: 1.360
✓ Buyer BEWARE!!!!I like the App HOWEVER when purchasing coin packs I am constantly being charged DOUBLE packs every time. I have reported the issue at least 5 times but to no avail. Each time it has happened I report it and receive a refund BUT how many other thousands of users are being SCAMMED as they may not notice the double charges.Version: 1.578
✓ Do NOT downloadThis game used to be fun but now the ads are excruciating. You sit for a minute to support the game and then you're stuck in the ad and have to restart. The developers seriously need to reach out to the ad producers for more user friendly ads. I support the use of ads but not in this manner. We are Uninstalling this game from all of our devices and also now telling people to avoid this game..Version: 1.568
✓ Waste of time. Game is too slow.This game takes foreeeeever to load. When it does, I repeatedly click the X to close out “connect to Facebook”. I don’t want to connect to Facebook, stop popping up. When the game finally gets to the home page, it takes too long for me to be able to select the daily game. The puzzle opens up and you think you are ready to play, but no. You need to wait some more while the next screen loads to ask you if you want to show errors. Finally you are playing the crossword puzzle. You type in your answer and the letters don’t show up. You wait and the answer finally appears. You go to the next word and type in a letter. It doesn’t show up so you press it again. Now that letter shows up in the next word too. I have a newer iPad with all the updates. No game should run this slooooooow. I detest ads that take you to the App Store. Show me an ad and let me click X. I would gladly pay for this game if it would load quickly and not have any delays when playing. Waiting 5-10 seconds for a letter to appear is ridiculous. I refuse to spend my money and get the disappointment of having the same slow game..Version: 1.542
✓ I like it, but…It takes longer to get through the ads than to play the games. No matter how many times I have to press the X to close the ads, I’M NOT DOWNLOADING THAT GAME!!!.Version: 1.574
✓ Where have the other games gone?I love the crosswords however they do tend to be repetitive after a while. Someone has already said this but it definitely would be great if it was suited to all people as at the moment, it is purely targeted for Americans. Also, there were some games like the word search or making words from the letters given to you... where have they gone? I genuinely enjoyed them and I wish they would bring it back again.Version: 1.414
✓ Needs improvementPuzzles are a little on the easy side but fun to play. No easy way to win a lot of coins, unless you pay for them. Rewards need to be more substantial for the time put in!.Version: 1.356
✓ TOO AMERICAN BASEDThe American bias is manageable but fun completely eradicated by the recent update, which resulted in being unable to play the game and now it doesn't appear to be recognising that I have completed the game. I realised only when I'd completed the same puzzle 3 times!! I'll delete the App until the issues are sorted. The game principle is excellent. Only fair to confirm they’ve sorted the bug issues..Version: 1.118.6
✓ PainfulIs fun doing the crossword of course, but very annoying you when the game makes spelling mistakes nearly every time, completed a bigger one the other day and could clearly see about 2 non existent words in there, so that makes it frustrating..Version: 1.372
✓ Would’ve been 4* but...I used this app every night as my chill out from a long day of workin at a prison. I absolutely love it. Some words are challenging. Some are easy. It’s a good balance. Also some people on here complain about coins. But compared to other apps, you get more for your efforts. But I had a Situation where I accidentally made a purchase. Therein is where this app gets 2*. I had used the help button options a few times. It sends you to your email app to send an email. Then you’ll get an automatic response saying someone will get back you (typically within 24 hours) and within less than 2 hours I got a personal response with the next steps to help my situation. Well this time I didn’t get that second response. It has been 3 days and I don’t dare play the app. I was able to resolve the situation, but not through this app, through Apple iTunes or something like that..Version: 1.98.2
✓ Ads ads and more ads!Loved the game - but lately there is more time watching ads than actual play, which really took time away from competing in the mini games Too bad cause it’s a great game but my patience ran out and I deleted it.Version: 1.582
✓ Changes to the gameI’ve been playing daily well over a year now and I play for free. I play for free and because of that do I really have the right to complain? Probably not but I’m going to anyway. I came to see what the last update included but all it had list was your normal debugging. There wasn’t anything about no longer revue if a gift when you complete the first or three daily puzzles which was a goal. There wasn’t anything there about no longer having goals 2 and 3, all the daily goals just vanished without saying a thing. It would of been nice if you gave players a heads up about the changes imho they were kids big. Not sure if I’ll keep playing no skin off your nose though since I only play for free except the part where I watch the very long ads your required to play..Version: 1.564
✓ Was great till nowI’ve been playing a long time and it’s great! But the last few days I do the first daily goals (complete todays puzzles) and it keeps reverting back saying I haven’t done them and won’t let me do the other goals. It has ticked the day off that they are done but still locks the other two goals!? Please fix this so I can go back to enjoying the game..Version: 1.520
✓ Too many freezing adsToo many of the ads shown are freezing so when I get rid of your app on my phone and reopen the app, I am not credited for extra letters, etc. please check all your ads and remove the ones that freeze up. That is why I gave you a one-star rating..Version: 1.584
✓ Are you going to stop the Vita Mahjong For Seniors LONG ADS?Vita Mahjong For Seniors is another ad takes over the game and the only option I have is to kill the app and reload it to continue to the next crossword puzzle! - Recently, you have been running more, long-running ads between games than ever before. Do you even look at the ad contents and length before you inject in during and between puzzles? At the halfway point in the small matrix puzzles the Zen Color ad always comes up and doesn’t stop running! I timed it this morning and gave up after three minutes of the same screen and stopped my DTC app, the reloaded it to finish the last two small puzzles. THEN….before I could start the Daily Puzzle, the SAME AD started again and wouldn’t end! So, i had to kill your App again and restart it to complete the next daily puzzle!.Version: 1.582
✓ This new update...I love this app and I do the crossword every day, but this new update... I hate it❤️the letters are way too big now and they’re too thick and all around ugly. I’m not impressed by the new update or the revamp of some of the buttons. I much preferred it before. It’s genuinely so ugly I might have to stop playing at this point. As the letters are now so large that I could see them from a mile away, it also moves the keyboard down to where it’s barely on my phone screen anymore, don’t like it please revert it back to how it looked before xoxo.Version: 1.430
✓ Too many adsThis used to be a real good crossword app but now there are way too many ads - way too many!!!.Version: 1.574
✓ FrustratedI have enjoyed this app for a very long time, BUT, the addition of even more ads is so annoying, and then when you do watch them and you can’t tap on the cross to close it really peeves me off. To have to shut down the app, reopen it and lose time when trying to compete with others is making me contemplate removing the app altogether. I do hope you can fix the ads issue and stop being so greedy by more in..Version: 1.568
✓ Getting frustrated with the game.In all this is a great app. Very American themed, the contestant lagging and freezing of the game is becoming very frustrating. (Yes I have updated game and phone and running current versions) Another issue I have is lack of support. 5 days now with no reply. Coins from referring friends haven’t been credited neither have coins for downloading a game. If all above is fixed I’d be happy to give a 5 star review..Version: 1.394
✓ Not a real puzzleI have been playing with DTC for awhile now and you know what? I thought I was smart to finish every level. But did you know that most of the answers on all the level so far that I’ve played are practically I mean literally all the same answers but with different questions. I don’ even have to finish looking at the questions I already know the answer. Even with the mini crossword have almost the same question as the main crosswords. All the theme days are practically the same answer but on a different days. Sample: Movie Mondays and next week Movie Thursday have almost the same answer but different questions. However I still play with it for memorization and to fall asleep at night. I think DTC’s data base have only 200 main answers but with 1000 different questions. 😜.Version: 1.552
✓ Love it - but it has frozenI was thoroughly enjoying the challenges BUT I intended to top up with 5 coins by watching an ad but it just went black and nothing I can do will enable me to get back to the home page or indeed any other page - FRUSTRATED I have lost the game and it won’t download again either. …...Version: 1.534
✓ Fun but loaded with bugsI enjoy the daily puzzles and the different subjects on each day. It’s fun while you’re in a waiting room, bored, have extra free time, etc. But, be prepared - no matter how many times you update the app, it’s loaded with bugs. You’ll finish a puzzle but at some point, it shows you didn’t. The countdown of days you’re playing in a row seems to reset itself. Normally, I wouldn’t care but you’re supposed to get free coins for playing so many days in a row. After two years of playing, I can never seem to get to the 180 consecutive days for the 100 coin bonus. Maybe it’s because the puzzles aren’t counted as completed, even when you do finish them. It’s a decent app but if you’re a perfectionist or you like keeping score, find a different app..Version: 1.338
✓ Length of ads and freezes very frequentlyDon’t waste your time with this game. You spend more time watching ads than playing the game. Some ads are two minutes in duration and when you try to close them, it takes you to another page. The game freezes very often during ads which is so frustrating..Version: 1.578
✓ Very AmericanisedI do enjoy the crossword but like some of the reviews have said, some of the clues are obscure due to American terminology.. and any clues related to British culture are very limited to toilets and male or female description. Lol you have to think outside the box .. clue .. lies on a beach .. well I would think rests.. sleep .. relax etc but answer tans!! I would have thought clue should be something like …what happens to skin after lying on beach!! Another clue for eg … Labrador favourite pastime … I am thinking .. what does a Labrador like more than other dogs .. but the answer actually relates to all dogs .. so why not say what is a dogs favourite pastime ?? Overall fairly relaxing if you can work through the some of the odd clues..Version: 1.552
✓ Did love this app- no moreLoved this app until recently. Used to be able to watch quite a few ads in order to receive coins. This was great because when I got stumped this enabled me to choose the option for answers or letters to help solve. I would rather watch ads than go to “cheating” websites that have answers for free. Unfortunately, things have changed and I am only able to watch one ad which gives 5 coins. You need 10 coins for most help clues. When I go to watch another ad for 5 more coins, I am now told I have to wait well over an hour before I can watch an ad to receive 5 more coins. Ridiculous! If the point behind offering the coins is to make people watch ads, why would they make you wait well over an hour now? I have actually watched ads and downloaded games from them. Oh well. I am now deleting this app off my screen and have found other crossword games that do not do what this has chosen to do. Lost a customer that has purchased off this app in the past and downloaded from the ads..Version: 1.430
✓ Too many adsThe amount of adverts this has is absolutely ridiculous. You click to play a crossword and you get an ad, you finish a crossword you get an ad. Pretty much everything you click you get an ad. Way too many. Reduce the amount and the app will be so much better.Version: 1.544
✓ Maybe a Little TOO Easy?I’ve been playing with this app a LOT during the pandemic and am grateful for the distraction it has provided me. It works well on my iPad, and dealing with the ads has taught me patience, especially since the game is free. I like the combination of thematic and mini-puzzles, and I especially enjoy the competitions between players and the chance to earn points through these inter-player matches. It’s just one more weird way of bringing people “together” during these difficult times. My only issue is with the puzzles themselves. They are seldom challenging; rather, the constant re-use of the same words (I will NEVER eat an Oreo cookie again!) and the blatant ease of some clues - “_____ the door (rhymes with ‘hut’)” - can make the game rather dull, especially when competing and doing many puzzles at once. I realize this is a family game and that I wasn’t promised the Sunday Times crossword! Still, we are blessed with millions of words and names, and I feel like only the tiniest percentage of them are being used and constantly rearranged to give the puzzle-makers a break. Sorry about the quibble (hey, THAT’S a word you could use!!!).Version: 1.390
✓ CrashesI really enjoy this app a lot, the only issue I have with it is that it runs really slowly unlike everything else on my phone and crashes often so when I played the search word game earlier which required me to find as many words as I could in a short time, I couldn’t manage to get as many as I wanted as it was taking too long to register what I had highlighted. I hope that one day this will be fixed as I enjoying sitting at the end of the day before bed doing my daily crosswords as part of my wind down routine..Version: 1.518
✓ Inappropriate adI like this game and really wanted to give it a great review however in the middle of a puzzle after solving a clue a pornographic ad appeared for about 15 seconds with now way to close it. I often play this game with my 9 yo son watching. VERY INAPPROPRIATE. Will be removing this app. If you’re a parent then maybe look at a different crossword app..Version: 1.382
✓ Good, but the ads are nastyEDIT: it's such a shame but I really can't recommend this app. While the app itself is good, the ads are devious and obnoxious and, the more I play, the worse they get and the more regular they become. Also, there's an option in the game to get some coins by installing one of the dev's other apps and playing it. I did that, but of course I didn't get the coins. Bottom line: Great crossword app, ruined by greed and dishonesty. Nice way to pass a few minutes each day. Good interface. The ads are those annoying ones that advertise a game AND show you a demo of the game to play, and then give you a small close button and it you don't hit it pixel-perfect then it opens the App Store. But as far as free-to-play games go, this one isn't too bad. PREVIOUS EDIT: I've had to update this review to mention the ads again. There are some really nasty ones in there. They use all sorts of devious tricks to open web pages and App Store pages. It's a real shame because the game is good, but the ads are a turn-off..Version: 1.402
✓ DTCUpdate- so I’ve decided to delete this app because of the ads always having Norton popping up. I don’t want malware and virus so sadly this app goes - until they get proper safe ads. Not scams. I like the game as it helps my old brain. But my Norton Anti Virus keeps popping up with “unsafe we recommend you do not visit this site” for every ad that comes up. You need to find some legitimate ad sponsors. The Keto ones are so fake. Not the same people from fat to skinny. Nor have the Celebrities ever endorsed them. It’s just so wrong. For that you lose stars..Version: 1.506
✓ Too easy and repetitiveI like the app. The problem with it is… well actually there’s a few problems. Firstly, it’s American based knowledge. I’m not particularly knowledgeable in US government departments and their abbreviations, for instance. Secondly, to reveal a word or reveal which letters are incorrect, I have to spend 20 coins, or 10 to show a word or get some letters. Which is annoying because I only ever have maybe 1 letter that’s incorrect, and that’s because it’s some American question. Thirdly, you only get 1 coin when you complete a puzzle. Fourthly, it’s repetitive. The same questions and answers over and over, except for the few themed questions and answers. But the rest are always the same. It needs some more thought put into it in that way. I seem to be subscribed to the app, which is fine, but so far the only thing I’m getting out of the subscription is no ads? I still have to use my coins to unlock packs. I have to use my coins for heaps of things. If I’m getting low in coins, I have to buy more… with real money. So what exactly am I getting out of the subscription? I like the app. I play it all the time. Every day. It’s just those issues above that need to be looked into. ALSO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE STOP MAKING THE CROSSWORDS SO REPETITIVE. IT IS THE SAME ANSWER OVER AND OVER AND OVER WITH THE CLUE JUST WORDED DIFFERENTLY..Version: 1.492
✓ I have to pay an ongoing subscription just to get rid of ads?The game has potential to be great, however the developers are just plain greedy. An ad after every game, no option to make a one time payment for an ad-free version like everyone else offers, instead I have to pay some extortionately expensive ongoing monthly or yearly subscription payment in order to keep the ads off it! Therefore, unfortunately it makes this app complete garbage..Version: 1.542
✓ Daily crosswordLove a good crossword. DC is really stingy about the coins they award in comparison to what they charge you for the help buttons and extra puzzles that want you to pay to play them. The commands are really sketchy when trying to correct a word and jumps all over the place and changes correct answers while you're trying to correct a answer. My biggest complaint is the location of the help buttons are too easily to press by accident when typing. Nothing burns me more than wasting 20 coins on a mini puzzle that I'm about to complete when my thumbs graze the help button. The coins are too hard to earn to be wasted in such a manner when I suspect those buttons are placed there intentionally for that very reason. I understand that the programmers need to make money but this doesn't make me want to buy anything from this app since I keep feeling cheated out of my coins. Also get a bigger vocabulary, tired of all the puzzles having most of the same words. Thank you for all your hard work, but there is room for improvement. JURKILLA.Version: 1.370
✓ Would be more stars, but...I really enjoy the daily puzzles, but I used to be able to earn additional coins by watching videos, sometimes up to 10 videos per day were available, earning me an additional 50 coins, but they have since discontinued this practice, and now I can only watch 1 video per day for only 5 coins. When each puzzle could potentially cost you 20+ coins, if you want to see the wrong letters or buy a word, you use up those coins very quickly. I know they did this to make you purchase additional coins, but I feel they should have kept the option to view several videos to earn free coins rather than make you buy them. Chances are when I run out of coins I’ll stop playing the game and will look for another crossword puzzle app..Version: 1.238
✓ App doesn’t work since updateI really enjoyed this game, loved the 3 daily crosswords and the extra games like the word search events, however, since the update the app won’t load, I just get a black screen! But seeing the other review regarding the update, it looks like the update wasn’t for the best anyway..Version: 1.546
✓ No longer works as used too. Don’t playUpdate: STILL no response to my question about accessing the Quest puzzles. I believe it is a language issue. English is my native language. I wish the developers would add someone who reads and speaks English to their team. Still can’t get a straight answer as to why I can no longer play any of the Quest puzzles. Have emailed and sent detailed email. All the developers will say is something about the ads. I didn’t ask about the ads. I asked about the Quest puzzles. Doesn’t anyone comprehend or understand English? Emailed Twice to support link and NO RESPONSE. No support AT ALL. HAVE GIVEN UP. GAME IS BROKEN AND DEVELOPERS COULD CARE LESS. DONT YOU DARE TELL ME TO CINTACT YOU AS YOU NEVER NEVER RESPOND BACK. Don’t waste your time on this game Extremely disappointed. As of March I can no longer access any of the extra puzzles like the quest. The in app help is broken so you can’t contact the developers. I tried emailing but got no response. How sad that the developers don’t care at all about the customers and users. No longer recommend this game.Version: 1.536
✓ Too many ads get stuckI get it that I have to suffer through ads if I want to use the app for free (I do). However, too often an ad gets stuck and I have to close out the app and restart. When that happens, I lose whatever points or tickets I’m due. This is beyond annoying. I’ve also completed every possible free/available crossword puzzle including the mini puzzles and all packs. I have to wait until new packs come out and the new puzzles each day. It would be great if packs come out more often than what appears to be once per month. Generally about all I can do are the two daily puzzles. I enjoy the crossword puzzles but just two is disappointing. The ads are annoying and stupid and the ones that don’t accept my pushing tge X to exit drive ne crazy. I’m looking forward to hitting 365 days because then I’ll stop using the app so I can have a bunch of puzzles to do..Version: 1.494
✓ Too simpleDaily crosswords as the name suggests but far too many repeat words. Like, if I see another crossword with bra, brr, rio, adam, eve, ire, oil, or abs I’m going to go crazy. The clues are way too easy as well with extra hints such as “rhymes with x” Gets very boring very quickly..Version: 1.460
✓ Fun…but the latest bugs are huge!I’ve been playing DTC for a year or so, with very few complaints or problems. BUT—there’s always a but, right?—the last couple months have been horrendous. Certain ads will lock it into a black screen and the only way I’ve figured out how to clear it is to delete the app and reload. Pain in the rear when you’re in the middle of a tournament or within grasp of an achievement that you’ve been working towards. I’ve deleted and reloaded 4 or 5 times lately and I am seriously tired of having to rework puzzles that I completed a month or so ago. Only plus so far is that I’m fast as h*ll and have won the tournaments, etc. for the last 90 days or so (helps tremendously when you’ve just completed the puzzle recently). You guys want some serious cash for a game of this caliber. I’ve thought about it, but with my current bug issue, I can’t see dropping that much on an app that has as many bugs, syntax errors and language-translation issues that I’ve seen in the year or so that I’ve used it. Guess I’m just going to have to keep slogging through the other crossword apps until I find one that suits me and doesn’t have such an issue with my iPhone..Version: 1.564
✓ The ads don’t work?Been playing on this app for 4-ish yrs. Now the past month or so I am forced to watch an ad, or I watch an ad to play a “free” game (as long as you watch ad).. problem is lately many times I watch the dang ad then after it’s completed the ad is frozen, and I have to swipe completely out of the game then bring it back up to unfreeze, then I try to play the “free” game and it states no ads available do you want to purchase. So I decline then go back again, it gives me another (sometimes over minute long) ad and then same thing happens. Many times these frozen ads happen 4-6 times in one group of daily games offered. (They happen different times, sometimes to play free game, sometimes after I complete a game etc etc). It is becoming increasingly irritating to say the least. I have updated and I check for bug fixes updates often and especially when these glitches happen. I really enjoy playing, but I’m tempted to see if there’s a better crossword app available. If I notice an improvement and the ads stop freezing/glitching so many times I’ll update my rating/review. An occasional glitch can happen but I’ve played 2 crosswords today and it’s happened 4 times already. Really frustrating..Version: 1.584
✓ Black screen of deathI do love this crossword app but this is the second experience I've had where I essentially get the black screen of death whenever I open the app. This continued happening for a number of days over a week ago and the only fix was to delete and reinstall the app (which meant I lost all my progress). I have now began my progress in the app again but am facing the same issue of a black screen being the only thing I can see whenever I open the app..Version: 1.556
✓ When open, screen is just blackI love doing my crosswords every day but I haven’t been able to because when I open the app it just has a black screen. Are there any bugs that need to be fixed because I would love to do more crosswords?.Version: 1.536
✓ Hard if you are not AmericanI totally agree that these puzzles are impossible because I don’t know about American sports. I like crosswords because I have little or no interest in TV shows or movies so no way I can answer most of the clues that aren’t about sport..Version: 1.434
✓ Black screen on openingWould be a great crossword app but 3/4 of the time the app opens up to a black screen and there’s nothing to do but quit and try to open it at a later time because if you try to reopen it right away, it’s just a black screen again.Version: 1.370
✓ Buggy, Ads OverwhelmingUsed to be a fun app, but over time, updates have made the app less responsive and ads have gotten longer and un-closeable (you sit through the full ad, an x appears to close it, but tapping it does nothing). It’s so burdensome, I can only surmise it’s intentional by the app publisher to force users to pay to avoid ads. Used to be fun with reasonable advertising..Version: 1.570
✓ To many American questionsAds are getting worse and way to many questions that are American based, such as places and sports teams etc. Way to many ads and they are way to long! More time spent watching ads now than playing the game! Used to be such an awesome app..Version: 1.410
✓ Frustrating ads. Insanely expensive.I’ve had this app for a long time and enjoy the crosswords and new games section but FAR OUT I feel like every week the ads get longer and longer and more frequent. Before you used to be able to skip after a few seconds after two or three games (but not before having to tap, be redirected to App Store and come back to game) Now the ads are 10+ seconds. I legitimately will NOT buy any game via the ads simply because they’re so freaking annoying. I don’t need additional coins but also don’t like ANY game enough to pay, what works out to be nearly $280 Australian dollars a year, for a weekly subscription. I’ll be looking around for a new crossword app with a more reasonable amount of ads or cheaper, once off subscription and suggest who ever is reading this, does too..Version: 1.560
✓ WillyI hate it when it says "FREE" on a puzzle but then takes away coins!.Version: 1.198
✓ Ads cover the keyboard!Fine game, puzzles are so-so on a challenge level, entirely too many “mini games” mixed into challenges for me and not a great interface. The Home Screen is quite cluttered and there are some odd choices with button placement and behavior versus typical patterns you see in other apps and games. All that was fine and I tolerated it until a recent chnage: My big problem is recently they started placing non-closable banner ads that cover the entire bottom row of my keyboard. Literally can’t play without clicking the ad or closing the app and reopening it because the keyboard is covered and it’s super annoying. Even that doesn’t always get rid of the ad so I can start typing again. I also agree with another person’s review that hints are too expensive given the rate at which you can earn coins to buy hints. Gonna go look for another crossword app..Version: 1.552
✓ Ok - to a point…So I have been playing this game for a few weeks now and it is good but the one thing I don’t like is that you have to pay coins to do some of the crosswords. I have been trying to do this week’s themed crossword which has 51 levels and I have realised that once you get past about level 40 every other level requires you to pay 10 coins to complete that level’s crossword. As you only get one or two coins now and again and very rarely 10 coins they obviously expect you to pay for coins, I would say I would rather watch an advert to play certain levels but you have to watch ads anyway AND pay to complete certain levels…not good…..Version: 1.544
✓ To Many AdsI really love the game and would play more except for the ads. There are waaayyy too many ads and their incredibly long. My down time is valuable, reduce the ads or create an option to remove them.Version: 1.578
✓ Great but always pay to play.I really liked the app to begin with, I even purchased a tidy sum of coins. But after playing for a few weeks and the coins have dwindled I don’t think I’ll be buying anymore. I like doing puzzles to unwind, they help my insomnia. I don’t enjoy apps where you have to keep paying out of pocket just to play more than 3 games. I found a much better alternative in CodyCross, I have access to everything and didn’t have to pay a penny..Version: 1.472
✓ This apps pricing model is brokenThe game is great. It’s Fun, Challenging and the word discovery adds a very fun element to solving. But, the pricing model is broken. The ad model which works for some games is too frequent and the ads run too long. The ad model doesn’t work IMO. It could be easily fixed by slightly shorter or less frequent ads. Personally, I would go to a subscription because I enjoy it but its difficult to find. There are references in the FAQs. There’s one banner for it. And only premium which seems to have limits on it. The write up in the app marketplace and what’s in the game are different - different prices, different terms which seems shady to me. The purchase coins option also makes no sense for player retention. Perhaps give free coins for playing consecutive days or solving puzzles. As it is, this is a try and uninstall. Low on net promoter because you’ll just waste your time. Now looking for a paid alternative..Version: 1.546
✓ Easy puzzles, annoying adsI enjoyed their puzzles and depending on the day, they can range in difficulty but are great for beginners or advanced users. At first, I didn’t mind the ads too much, but after a few more plays, I noticed that sometimes, I’d HAVE to play a mini (ad) game in order to continue on to play or exit my current puzzle. There was also a little counter in the bottom-left corner, which starts ticking backwards from 30 seconds, so although I never waited for it, I assumed this was the amount of time you had to wait to hit the “X” and close the ad. In addition, many of the ads (disguised as mini games) had graphics very similar to this app’s overall theme. This was probably done intentionally, so younger users and new players would confuse it for the game itself. This sort of behavior is unacceptable, and was 100% the deal breaker reason I decided to immediately stop playing and delete from my iPhone. NOT worth it!.Version: 1.582
✓ Good game, tech issuesGood game. Perfect difficulty level although, a few repetitive words throughout. Unfortunately the game has now started to crash with the most recent update..Version: 1.472
✓ Ads are ridiculousDeleted it. The ads became SO LONG. Five minutes of waiting for the candy crush ad on the same screen to finally close out..Version: 1.576
✓ FreezesThis game would be fun, except for it freezes on all the odds after the ex pops up and you try to close it it doesn’t respond you end up having to swipe out of the game and then you lose your points for watching an ad! Super annoying!.Version: 1.584
✓ Fun but beware!Highly populated with ads that are terrible in the way they’re presented. They use a super slow emulated progress bar and you get constant pop ups on any interaction. It’s a huge battery killer as well! iPhone 12 Pro and it drained it in 51 minutes, heating up like crazy with nothing else running. Actually a very decent crossword game but it’s a shame these things let it down..Version: 1.476
✓ Not For MeI liked this app but I don’t like the mini crosswords they have and that’s basically ALL they have. Some of the stuff that’s supposed to help you figure it out was really stupid, for example mine said “because”. Like how is that supposed to help me figure out a word that’s 8 letters down?! Because. That’s it. There were no other hints. Plus, getting from across to down was annoying! They don’t have it where you can just flip to one or the other, you had to hit the arrow until it changed from across to down (or vice versa) by itself. Lastly, I had it where it was supposed to show me when I words wrong but after doing one puzzle that stopped working even though I had it turned on still. I only had this app installed like 30 minutes before uninstalling it because all of that happened that fast. This app isn't for me. If you like “mini” crosswords and being timed while doing crosswords then you might enjoy this app. I didn’t and I wouldn’t recommend it..Version: 1.252
✓ Too many adsDeleted app. Same ad playing constantly.Version: 1.580
✓ I don’t knowWhen it works it’s great, but most of the time I can’t open the app. It opens with a black screen and a purple banner and stays that way..Version: 1.370
✓ Ok for the most partI’ve been using this app for the past few months and I have really been enjoying it. As of late however (the last month or so) the “see wrong” button keeps turning on by itself and each time my total stars drop by 20 when I hadn’t even asked for this. I had lost over 100 stars when I finally looked into the settings and realized that by some mysterious ways the option to confirm hint use was unchecked when I knew I had checked it initially when I downloaded the app. I checked it again and things were fine for a few days until again “see wrong” started turning on by itself each time I started a new puzzle. I went to the settings immediately and confirmed it was in fact checked. I’m not sure if this is on purpose or if there is a glitch in this app, but either way the experience became frustrating enough that I just uninstalled the app, and I’ll be looking for another crossword puzzle app in the App Store..Version: 1.372
✓ Crashing and freezingAbsolutely love the app WHEN IT WORKS! I usually play everyday to complete the daily challenges but EVERYTIME iOS updates the whole game crashes and freezes. Usually goes on for a few days after the update and the game was still playable to a degree - as long as you keep shutting things down and restarting them. Did manage to message developers and had a single response to say they were looking into this latest issue but this is much worse as the app will not load at all, just flashes the logo then goes black screen. Not worked properly since iOS 17 update on Saturday 14th - now on Wednesday 18th no further communication from support despite me responding to their message promptly nor a working app. So went wobbly as usual when the system updated but whatever they are trying to do to fix the problem appears to have made it worse. Expected much better from a game I’ve been using regularly for ages..Version: 1.572
✓ Fun but wish there was a multiplayer mode :(I love this app and have had it for a few months now, however, i wish one of the new updates would include a multiplayer mode instead of just bug fixes :/. My boyfriend and I play it together, but only if we are visiting one another, and it’s harder to do over the phone, so I wish there was a way we could do them together instead of having to complete two separate puzzles, both individually on our phones instead of completing one puzzle together. This is one big factor that makes me consider other crossword apps, because we kept doing them together when we got to see each other in person but we spend more months apart then together, so it’s a fun way to stay connected even if we are hundreds of miles apart. please consider adding this option on one of the next updates! I think it would make the app more popular as well :):).Version: 1.304
✓ Loved this app! And then….I’ve been playing this app for several years. Love it because it can be a quick little puzzle to pass some time while waiting. I love to challenge myself on the time it takes me to complete a puzzle and try to shave a second off the last personal recored. HOWEVER, about 6 or so months ago it just stopped working. Like one day it was fine and then it just came up with a black screen. I tried closing it and waiting a bit before opening again. I deleted it from my phone and downloaded it again. I accidentally deleted from my home screen and didn’t know how to get it back so just left it. Just reset it on my home screen and still nada. Highly disappointed as this was really helpful to me during a difficult time in my life..Version: 1.544
✓ Too busy, too US centricThe UI is very busy, and the clues are often incredibly US based, I’ve never wanted to visit the US so not sure why I should or would know a lot about it. I don’t like the feature of solving a clue giving random letters across the board, or that it does things like tells me to solve an event puzzle, but that to continue I have to watch an ad. Feels like it’s trying to get me hooked on to the app, just a little too money hungry for my liking, so uninstalled. That last part dragged the star rating down a whole star..Version: 1.476
✓ It’s ok, but some terrible questionsExtremely Americanised, if I hadn’t travelled there so much I wouldn’t be able to answer many more of the questions without help. Because of the sheer number of errors and “made up” answers I wouldn’t ever spend any real money on this game. With some actual effort and tweaking it could be good, but it’s currently severely lacking. Weirdly random questions and answers: Timepiece - era Little League coach, often - dad Low ___ on the totem pole - man Previously heard - old Well ___ -da! How fancy - lahdi Tar Heels state (abbr) - ncar Court record keeper (abbr) - clk Chooses with “for” - opts Who am ___ to judge - ito FedEx unit, for short - ctn “If that’s all she cares for, ___ it” Amen - sobe Common pasta suffix - ini Real-estate units: Abbr - rms Pants, for short - trou “We attended the Sunday ___ husband and wife for the first time” church service - massas Red army member - ant Wrong/strange/misspelled answers: To the point - apt Frilly curtain covering (slangily) - valence Brit’s mild oath - gor ????? “By ___!” Brit’s oath - gor ????? Fruit that isn’t ripe - raw Hee-___ (horses neigh) - haw Japanese capital - yen Definitely an American term, elsewhere gouge means to carve out (plus poorly worded question: Informal term for overcharge someone for something - gouge A point worth noting by the makers: Finland, Monaco and Denmark are countries, not states..Version: 1.384
✓ Used to be good 😕I used to love this game but the ads are getting harder to close after watching them for coins or access to a puzzle, would be nice if they automatically closed as I’ve just watched 3 ads and still can’t access the puzzle - I keep closing the app and trying again but the ads are by the same dev and won’t close!.Version: 1.466
✓ Could be betterAh, the joys of modern technology, giving us delightful apps that promise hours of fun and entertainment. Just when you're getting into the groove, mastering every twist and turn, what pops up? An ad. Not just one or two, but after every single level! It's like being on a thrilling rollercoaster ride only to have it stop midway for a brief commercial about socks. It feels somewhat out of place, doesn’t it? Of course, developers need to earn their keep, and advertising plays a role in that. But one has to wonder if there's a balance to be struck. Instead of an onslaught of ads at every level's end, maybe sprinkle them in here and there like surprise confetti? A bit of unpredictability to keep us on our toes! After all, we're here for the fun, and while a sock ad can be entertaining in its own right, we don’t necessarily need a reminder after every triumphant moment..Version: 1.562
✓ Cannot use bonusesGain bonuses, but the events are never available to use them and then the bonuses are gone the next day.Version: 1.592
✓ Major discoveryThis game cheats by changing letters you typed in correctly so that you’ll spend coins to see which ones are incorrect. Several times I have noticed that despite being absolutely sure I put in correct letters by checking both as I type and after I type, that by the end of the puzzle it will say “one or more letters is wrong” with the option to pay 20 coins to see which. Each time, when I go back and recheck all the clues for spelling I notice a word with a letter changed that I know I had spelled right. For example ice gets changed to icw to make unsuspecting folks think they hit the letter next to the correct one while typing. After it happening so often, I discovered it wasn’t me.... this game makes its own rules..Version: 1.350
✓ Updated reviewThe latest annoying thing is I have 2 games in progress from several months ago. If I click one it takes me to the correct puzzle but then freezes. The puzzle is shown with no clues anyway. No matter how many times I’ve tried going back to those 2 specific dates the game freezes or there’s a black screen. Please fix! Could’ve been 5 starts but...I agree with most reviews that the coin system is severely lacking. Overall a great game but 2 things I have a real problem with: one is the volume when doing the bonus packs for instance. I have the sound turned off in the controls but when an ad plays the volume is ON which is not great if you’re sitting in a waiting room for example, plus it’s just downright annoying in the first place. Second is the small ads at the bottom of puzzles. I have epilepsy and the ads blinked and flashed so rapidly I thought I was going to have a seizure. If it happens again I will uninstall the game..Version: 1.92.2
✓ Fun, but buggyLove the game, but it drains my iPhone XR battery quite quickly and heats up the phone after about 30 mins of play. Phone performance degrades over time. Restarting the app frequently seems to prevent both problems, so my guess is a memory leak of some sort..Version: 1.370
✓ Taking more moneyI object to the fact that now each time you click to start a crossword you have to click to see the wrong answer and this takes away your points or whatever you may like to call them and so costs you more money to be able to do this. Before you changed it if you paid once it stayed that way until you ran out of points. Hope you understand what l am on about. I think it’s a cheek as l enjoy playing this but will not now because of this..Version: 1.304
✓ Bad Puzzles, Annoying BugsCrossword fans look elsewhere. Repetitive clues game after game, every game has Mika Kunis, Ale, Ooh, Aah, IPA, Game of Thrones clues, sci-fi clues, people and abbreviations you’ve never heard of. Tons and tons of clues are abbreviations or stupid phrases like “I see” or “is at” or “at no”. Sometimes half the puzzle is like this. Not true crossword puzzles. Very badly done. The bugs are almost all associated with ads. You have to watch a 30 second ad before AND after each puzzle! They get stuck, volume blares even if you have volume off, and they are for very weird apps where pleasant games have been paired with drowning bears or women about to be attacked by viscious dogs - it’s like a single teenager obsessed with his Mika Kunis/Sci-fi world had to come up with 300 tiny crossword puzzles and he gave up trying to think up new clues, or exhausted his vocab. and started looking things up. Really bad. Don’t waste your time..Version: 1.350
✓ DtcWay too many ads!.Version: 1.572
✓ Not worth the trouble.This app opens sometimes, but then other times it will freeze up and you can’t finish the game you’re playing. I have removed it from my tablet..Version: 1.584
✓ A fun game when you’re stuck in the houseI’ve been playing g this for a while and I enjoy it, but it reuses the same clues over and over, so it’s not like you get all new puzzles each day. A lot of the words just keep appearing in every other crossword. I have an issue with the amount of coins it costs to get a hint or see a mistake, especially since you are only awarded one coin for each completed puzzle. The worst part is, they will randomly deduct coins , even when I don’t use any hints. I understand deducting them when you use a hint, but the creators of the App will randomly deduct 10 coins for no reason. There’s a place within the App to reach out if you have questions or issues, which I did, but I never heard back. My advise is to accumulate as many coins as you can by watching the annoying ads. It’s the only way to ensure you keep a stockpile for when you need them..Version: 1.320
✓ Riddled with adsGame used to be great, now it’s unplayable with ads every 5 seconds. Do not download this game..Version: 1.572
✓ It’s Fun, but…There is far too much going on. Tournaments, dailies, rewards, packs, quests, goals, calendars, etc… and tons of pop ups for each of them. Like at least me personally, idc, I just want to do crosswords, not turn it into some crazy competition. My other gripe is the greed. No one time payment here for turning ads off. It’s a … (drum roll please) SUBSCRIPTION!!! In case you can’t tell, I don’t like those. Especially for a mobile game. Mobile devs are crazy if they think I’m gonna pay another expensive subscription in this economy, especially just to remove ads and gain … bonuses? Again, who cares, I’m playing to do crosswords, not compete. So anyways, aside from that, the crosswords themselves are fun, and the ads are relatively non-intrusive. Not awful..Version: 1.572
✓ Not terrible, but not precise enough for me1. There are too many clues and/or answers that are vague, incorrect, or culturally specific (Britain, India, America?). (e.g. One clue asked for a 5-letter words that was “part of a cowboy’s boots.” The answer was “spurs.” Except spurs aren’t part of a boot, they are a separate device affixed TO a boot.) (e.g. Another clue asked for the leading car in a race. The answer was “polecar”... which I assume is the term in England, but in the U.S. we call it a “pacecar”, neither word is right or wrong, but shouldn’t the clue allow for only one answer? 2. The misspellings! Holy moly! Almost one per game. ‘Ema’ Stone wouldn’t be happy about that. 3. The repetition of clues and answers from one puzzle to the next is too high. 4. The game has way too many ads. There’s one after every. single. game. And they’re all the same. 5. The amount of coins earned compared to how much a booster or clue costs is a little ridiculous. One booster would require me to watch an additional four (4) ads, which aren’t even always available..Version: 1.318
✓ Very AmericanNot a bad app but be warned that if you come from a country that speaks real English, you’ll have to put up with bad American spelling and grammar (they think the plural of roof is roofs! and lots of other things). Also lots of references to US culture and abbreviations- not a bad thing if you’re from the US but the rest of us wouldn’t know a lot of this stuff. Overall a goodish app for US based people but maybe the rest of us should look elsewhere..Version: 1.360
✓ Update keeps crashingThis was the best app ever, but new version keeps crashing. Need to find another app that doesn’t keep crashing.Version: 1.448
✓ Fix the Ad issues!Like many other users are commenting… ads have become a real nuisance. There are WAY TOO MANY and they won’t “x” out when they are done playing. Have to exit the game, swipe it closed and then restart the app to get to the next puzzle. Always enjoyed this game but I’m prepared to delete it if you don’t fix the issue..Version: 1.578
✓ Would be a good game but re uses words and tries to take your money at every opportunityGame is good and works well but u have to pay for literally everything u get 2 free crosswords a day one being mini and then the rest are money plus constant ads that u have to pay for to go aswell as once u have finished a crossword if u have letters wrong sometimes only 1 you have to pay to reveal which letter is wrong which is very very frustrating. Other then that the game is smooth and works well and the crosswords are fun but ruined by corporate greed..Version: 1.464
✓ Good games but ads block keyboardThe crossword daily themes are fun, but this app has too many ads. I can’t click on the keyboard and type the letters because ads block it..Version: 1.584
✓ Daily themed crosswordThis game is fun but far too many ads, my game keeps freezing on the ads.Version: 1.588
✓ Daily themed crosswordsWhy is this site always Down? Can you not fix the bugs?? Please fix now in the middle of a tournament and been down at least 3 hrs.Version: 1.596
✓ It’s proop heapy dumb the most horridThe worst thing all year, best; POKÉMON Game game and the game is awesome but it is the best app ever. I have to admit I would be a great witchcraft reader.Version: 1.530
✓ Good but…Really like the game but the ads are very annoying. There are lots of them. They take a long time to load and often don’t finish so I’m left hanging and end up leaving..Version: 1.584
✓ Interesting to play but...This game would be better if more questions were suited to the country you live in rather than all US questions...also the ratio games to coins could be improved & more fairer ..20 coins to get help in a game & only one when you solve a puzzle...5 when you watch a repetitive game app video!!.Version: 1.368
✓ Ads are intrusive, clues repetitiveI’ve done many crossword puzzles, and I know there are somewhat “standard” clues for a given answer, but when “ale,” “Oreo,” “HBO” “Els” to name a few are in every other puzzle...then it’s not a fun challenge anymore, it’s a grind. The ads. The. ADS. I understand they’re necessary, particularly on free apps, in order for the devs to make money. But there’s no discretion as to quality, bugs, etc. There isn’t even variety. I played for 10 minutes the other day and got the same diet pill ad five times in a row. I won’t even get into why these types of ads are harmful to people recovering from eating disorders, or that dubious health claims shouldn’t be promoted in any space. Why the same ad so many times in a row? I didn’t click the first time, I won’t click the second time, I’m still not curious the third time. By the fifth time, I’m annoyed. My phone’s storage is full. Guess it’s time to let some apps go....Version: 1.436
✓ Love this app….butI love playing this game but the ads, especially the one featuring the King character, (as you can see, I always look away because it is so long and annoying) is impossible to close on my iPad unless I actually shut my iPad down. Please correct this. I don’t even look at any other ads due to this very annoying glitch. You should be able to let an ad play, then click it off and continue playing without shutting down your computer. If the intent of the game developer is to entice you to download their game, I’ll never download a game that causes me to shut down my computer in order to be able to return to my original game. If you’re allowing a developer to place ads like this on your game, I will then be forced to stop playing your game, even though I really enjoy it. That’s the only reason I gave this game 1 star, otherwise I would be rating it 5 stars..Version: 1.570
✓ Too AmerocentricAs others have said, whilst this could be a time filler, it boggles belief that the Dev team don’t understand that there is a “rest of the world”. the theming actually makes this much worse than if the crosswords weren’t themed, i might guess the name of one nascar driver from other clues, but four of them, when the other clues are about baseball? if you are going to release a wordplay app in another country you have to localise it. As it is, this is a frustrating waste of time for those of us in the UK ..Version: 1.464
✓ Keyboard is non standardLike the app but I get frustrated that I can’t type, the keyboard layout is not the same place as the standard iOS keyboard which means missing the keys or pressing next especially with a and p. Wish they would keep the standard iOS to match the phone layout for muscle memory..Version: 1.564
✓ Quest cost exceed reward & repetitiveThe cost of quests is absolutely ridiculous compared to the rewards for completing it. I kept track of the most recent quest. It cost 225 coins to complete the 60 levels. The total rewards for completing it.....45 coins. That’s 20% of what it costs to complete it. Nice way to reward people. The first 8 levels cost 50 coins. There is a reward between levels 8 and 9. The reward was 2 coins. Why would anyone want to complete a quest when you don’t actually get rewarded? I’m still out 180 coins after completing a quest. I will no longer be completing any quests. Rewards in general are very low compared to cost. It cost 20 coins to see wrong letters. The daily reward is typically 1 coin. If you’re lucky you might get 2 coins. There are a few other issues. Several of the clues/words are repetitive. Oreo is one of the most frequently used words. There are several others. They frequently misspell words. The final issue is a minor annoyance. The show wrong and help buttons are on the bottom making it easy to unintentionally slide your finger across them. They should either move them or have a secondary confirmation process so you can cancel it. I hope they fix theses issues but for now I won’t be playing as often. I will only be doing the free daily puzzles. It’s not worth the cost to play..Version: 1.482
✓ Not enough coinsNot enough opportunity to get coins, you’re made to wait over an hour to watch videos for coins. I have finished all the mini puzzle packs so I can’t earn anymore coins that way..Version: 1.380
✓ An app of ads and a few crosswordsI had to delete. I have NEVER ever played a Game with as many ads as this app, they are intrusive and almost a MINUTE long and they pop up EVERY time you finish a crossword, every time you move to another one, literally touch something in the game and an ad pops up, it’s insane, it’s extremely disruptive and I can literally only do maybe one crossword a day because of this. I understand you need to make money but holy sh!+, this is bad, greedy and over done I would NEVER download Royal match either because they advertise everywhere THAT MUCH I can’t stand the sight of it. PLEASE, reduce the amount of ads! It would be 5 stars if it wasn’t an app full of ads with a few crosswords thrown in.Version: 1.596
✓ Not at all happyThey changed the format and stole the coins I had. I paid 27.99 for them and had at least 100 remaining. This new format is junk..Version: 1.570
✓ Ads With PremiumFor what it is, it’s a good little game. You’ll see a lot of the same clues, so it’s not overly complicated or challenging. Every now and then you’ll see a new one that makes you think, but then it’ll be familiar like everything else. This could probably be because I put a LOT of time in here, challenging everyone on the leaderboard and advancing in rank because of you’re not first, last. I put so much time in to this that I decided to spring for the Premium because I was getting ads every other puzzle. It may not sound bad, but when you’re completing puzzles in 3-4 minutes then it feels kind of excessive. It reduced the amount of ads I get, but I still have to watch ads before I can play a puzzle. While I did only have to watch one instead of two, it’s enough an inconvenience for me that I’m cancelling the Premium and uninstalling this app. Take care, everyone!.Version: 1.510
✓ Improvements needed!!The app itself is ok. I have had only a few puzzles that have had an issue. (Letters I type not showing leaving box blank) I’ve played for a few weeks now and majority of the puzzles have had the same clues/words. (I have had the word era in nearly every puzzle! Several other ones as well) Otherwise the game itself is ok. Let’s talk about coins....watch a video you get 5 coins but then have to wait 2 hrs before you can watch another one. Daily gift...so far all I have gotten is 1 coin in my box. Letters and see wrong options cost 10-20 coins. See the problem!?!? Cost of “helpers” needs to be less or rewards need to be higher and there needs to be more ways to quickly earn coins. I plan to give this app a little longer and see if there are any improvements worth continuing with this app.. if so, I’ll come back and update my review. If not, well, I’ll have to delete this app and look for a new crossword app..Version: 1.370
✓ Ready to deleteEver since I have updated my phone I have had nothing but trouble with videos not working correctly and when I have tried to write to the app it self it won’t allow it. Yes the app has been updated. I use to love playing this game every day but I’m ready to delete it as it’s a hassle when the videos freeze and you have to shut down the game completely and you don’t receive the coins or letter that you just watched the videos for..Version: 1.584
✓ Just ok, the proliferation of ads makes the experience unpleasantThe crosswords are very relevant and challenging but the ads are way too many for even small crosswords and the subscription fee to remove them is too expensive. It’s line ball whether to keep playing or delete the app !.Version: 1.568
✓ Good App BUT Too many ads!I love passwords, but this has you waiting all the time while you HAVE to watch another app. I so wish I could pay a bit and pass on the ads..Version: 1.576
✓ DTCBrilliant used to give it 5 Stars but unfortunately this game keeps telling me that no videos are available. Been doing this for the last week keep trying every hour. I would have thought that a game like this would have plenty of videos to get 5 free coins. Unless this is a strategy to get consumers to buy coins which I feel does not meet your agreement..Version: 1.544
✓ GamesI enjoyed this game very much. Now there are too many ads, and some of them just stay on the screen, you can’t play..Version: 1.576
✓ Don’t Buy CoinsI really enjoy doing the puzzles, but get really frustrated when I finish a puzzle and random amounts of my coins have been used without me even knowing it was happening or why. I never play a puzzle when it says I have to use coins to play - in other words I only play when it claims the puzzle is “free” or “free with viewing an ad video”, but I’ll get done with the puzzle and sometimes upward of 30 coins will have been used without my knowledge - and this is without using any of the “help” items at the bottom of the puzzle which use coins. I wouldn’t care as much if I only ever used coins I earned just by playing puzzles, but sometimes I buy the coins so it is really irritating. It would be nice if something would pop up warning you that something you’re about to do is going to cost you and list the cost..Version: 1.228
✓ Not too badNot a bad game, alot of American answers and everytime you earn coins they disappear before you can use them on hints which is very frustrating, it’s hard enough already trying to earn those coins and then when they disappear is even more of a pain.Version: 1.484
✓ Annoying adsThe game is great to play and wile away a few minutes in the morning however the ads are beginning to become a problem for me. I don’t mind the ads and I’m happy to ignore them for a few seconds between daily games or wait out the 30 seconds to unlock some of the other games but it becomes very old, very quickly when almost half of the adverts play sounds even though my phone is on silent. I keep my phone on silent for a reason and I don’t appreciate ads that have come on at full blast still..Version: 1.534
✓ Freezing ads are spoiling the experience.I think the time has come. Love the crosswords, but every time I have an ad, it freezes and I can’t finish crossword! Let me know when you fix this please! 7/22. That’s it. I love this app, but the freezing ads have done me in! Goodby. Let me know when it’s fixed,.Version: 1.450
✓ Ads!This game is regularly hanging, I assume this is due to the large number of ads that are playing in the banners or waiting to load between rounds. There’s far too many ads for what is, essentially, a simple game to fill five minutes of my day. I’m at the point where I’m considering deleting the app due to this poor performance and over reliance on ads. What a shame, over time the developers have got greedy and spoiled a reasonable app..Version: 1.514
✓ QuestionWhere did the weekly challenge go? The one that Started each Sunday. I was enjoying this game until you started taking away the extra “challenge puzzles”. Now it is not as fun at all.Version: 1.592
✓ Okay game but!The game itself is okay but too many ads unless you pay £4.99 to get rid of them, which is too much and to earn coins you have to watch a 30 sec ad, which only gives 5 coins, and you only get 6 videos to watch every 2 hours which is very stingy, especially when you’re stuck and need to use coins it’ll make you spend 10 coins to reveal 5 letters or 20 coins to see what you’ve got wrong. It should be the other way around I feel as to not annoy the player because it takes so long to build up a decent pot of coins to help them out when they need it..Version: 1.380
✓ App tried to open FaceTimeWhat kind of Crossword application needs to open and use FaceTime? I only caught it because I uninstalled FaceTime when I got the phone due to privacy. Very suspicious application..Version: 1.596
✓ Used to be goodI used to play this game all the time and then stopped for a while. I’ve started to get back into it but it’s been super super laggy, to the point where I’ve spent triple coins for one hint and shuts itself off so much I’m getting sick of trying to play it. I miss the old version so much. Hopefully it clears up soon, don’t want to have to delete it..Version: 1.548
✓ Becoming frustratingLike every other freemium app, it’s becoming intrusive and frustrating. Adverts that suddenly appear while playing and you get no reward for. Can’t play the game until you watch all 30 seconds of the ad. Pop ups appearing asking you if you want to earn/buy help because you tapped on a different word from what was highlighted, which appear right in the middle of the screen and if you tap it by accident because you’re selecting a different word, yet another advert to watch for 30 seconds. I realise the game is “free” but it’s supposed to be “fun” and a way to pass time and release some stress but it has the exact opposite effect due to constant pop ups while attempting to have “fun”. Otherwise it would be a great game..Version: 1.492
✓ I just wanted a crossword.This came up as a possibility for a crossword app, which I’ve been wanting. I opened the first one, typed in a word... and letters were spat across the rest of the puzzle. It told me I could turn it off in the menu, so I exited... and it wanted me to open the free “mini” puzzle for the day. I had to do that before going to the menu. I went back, typed, and when I made a mistake, it popped up something telling me I could see all my mistakes. No. And then it popped something up telling me I could skip a word for free if I was stuck. I wasn’t stuck, I had just typed the wrong letter a couple of times. Halfway through a word, it popped up a box saying I could get “coins” if I let the app send me notifications. Then I finished the puzzle, and it told me that I could finish a puzzle every day for a streak and get something or other. I just wanted to do a crossword puzzle. Nothing fancy, just fill in the words with my wits. The puzzle was pretty easy, and there was just too much in the way..Version: 1.318
✓ Fun to play, but...I’m enjoying a new puzzle each day but find the balance of coins is out of whack: if I want help in the game it costs 20 coins, but I only get one (!) coin when I solve a puzzle. Watching an ad gives me five coins. Probably won’t continue playing once my coins run out.Version: 1.356
✓ Fun but way to many addsWay to many adds, and they are long!!! Some you can’t even « x » out off. Have to close the app completely and re-start!!.Version: 1.566
✓ More annoying than it’s worth90% of this game is just annoying ads and pop ups. The game basically forces you to watch a fifteen second ad after any action. The pop ups are ultra annoying because they’ll pop up whenever you just tap on a row to edit it. Sometimes three pop ups will appear back to back. The gameplay itself is also pretty limited. You get one daily crossword and one mini one. If you want any more puzzles you either have to watch ads or spend coins, which are unnecessarily difficult to get. The clues are also super repetitive, to the point that I have many of them memorized. Basically you’re having to sit through absurd amounts of ads for very little actual gameplay. And the gameplay itself is repetitive to the point of it being boring. Don’t waste your time on this..Version: 1.520
✓ Can’t turn off soundI’m going to take this app off my phone. The crossword puzzles are fairly simple, although some can present a challenge or two with unique words. The worst part is that in the last week, it has become impossible to turn the ad sounds off. I want to be able to be alerted to important information on my phone and ads aren’t that. They are jarring and annoying. Stop blasting me with noise!.Version: 1.572
✓ Recent ChangesI’m fine with ads on a free game, of course. However they have made changes recently so that some ads play through, then the “X” appears in the top corner where you should be able to tap and move onto the next level, but the X doesn’t work. Even if you wait a long time it’s stuck on the ad and you have to shut down the game and restart in order to get the next puzzle to load..Version: 1.590
✓ CoolThe app is addictive and I often fall asleep playing it. My only pet peeve is that the “Royal Match” ads play soooo much that I’ve grown a hatred for it. I wish I could block it. When I try to exit away from the ad, App Store keeps popping up 6-10 times to download Royal Match before I can continue playing the crosswords, and I KNOW I’m hitting the “x” button. It’s so repetitive that I’ve considered uninstalling this app. I’ve even had to shut down this app completely and reopen it just to get that ad off my screen. Now, I play crosswords with my volume down so I won’t have to keep hearing, “Help meee” from that king, or whatever he is. It’s almost like a virus smh. I’m certain that at some point I may uninstall this and install another crossword game to run from those repetitive Royal Match ads. It’s as if I’m almost being harassed to download it—as comical and unrealistic as that sounds. I see it during regular ad air-times, when opting to watch a video for extra letters, AND when opting to watch a video for coins. Can’t get away from it. Pleeeeease turn it offffffff. It’s unbearably annoying and overplayed. Even the real-life human promoting it in different ads. Can’t even fully enjoy this app. It’s a relief just to see a different ad the very rare times that I do..Version: 1.542
✓ Coin costWhen doing this weeks challenge, I’m being charged 5 coins for each puzzle, is this broken? On previous weeks it only charges for coins on 1 in 3-5 games, this week it’s every game. Or is it only asking for coins because I have +60? If that’s the case, then that’s pretty bad. I like this app because you don’t have a tonne of ads but I’m going to have to spam adds if I want to keep going at this rate..Version: 1.468
✓ Daily Themed CrosswordThe new ad for Instagram is stopping use of playing, it stops and I can’t get out of it, often I have to restart my device to get rid of it. I really like this app, but if I can’t use I will look for another app.Version: 1.566
✓ AdsDisgusting ads. Abused, freezing, starving women and children, in a game!!!.Version: 1.562
✓ Deleted all my coins - WASTE OF MONEYMade the mistake of updating app, when it opened it was just a black screen. No matter how many times I closed and reopened it, same thing. Restarted phone, same thing. Deleted app and re-downloaded and all my coins were gone, so just deleted it again permanently. What a waste of money..Version: 1.576
✓ Ads freeze the gameI understand that you have to have ads - no problem - hate ‘em, but it’s a revenue thing. My beef is not with the gameplay, the gameplay is good!! But the ads ending and freezing the application. I’m on the most recent version of iOS and I’m on an iPhone 13..Version: 1.578
✓ Don’t get this whatever you do.It is so add ridden that you’d be lucky to even play once ever, I mean it’s crossword for gods sake does it really need to be jam packed with cheap adds that NO ONE will fall for? And don’t even get me started on the micro-transaction pop ups that are 100% made for you to miss click and accidentally buy. Seriously it’s not worth downloading at all..Version: 1.472
✓ Ruined by adsGreat concept and being in the UK I can accept the American spelling and USA based questions. However this game is ruined by the regular intrusive ads that usually last 30 seconds, then a prompt to go the App Store appears and when you cancel that there’s another small countdown. Then to access a grid to solve you have to watch 2 ads or I ad among the free ones. It can constantly freeze and just frustrates what could and should be an entertaining general knowledge game. There’s no continuity if you delete and download the app again. Although the app is regularly updated it fails to address the bugs and issues the app has. You will soon get weary of this game due to these issues..Version: 1.504
✓ Ok GameIt’s a good, fun game to play and I really enjoy the theme days and stuff but the reason I only gave 2 stars is because the game doesn’t give out nearly enough stars for winning or watching videos. You only get 5 stars per video that you watch and everything in the game is between 10-20 stars, so at minimum you have to watch 2 videos just to get a small hint or 4 videos to get a bigger hint. So to me that makes it not worth playing because you spend more time watching ads than you do actually playing the crosswords. And for me it’s all usually over only a few letters if not just one that I got wrong/couldn’t guess. I enjoy the challenge and being able to learn things that I hadn’t known before but I can’t do that unless I buy more stars which isn’t in the budget for me right now unfortunately..Version: 1.530
