Crossword Jam: Fun Word Search for Negative User Reviews
✓ Black ScreenHave been playing this game for months and really enjoyed it. I could even deal with an ad between each game. I was somewhere in the 1250 level (I don’t remember the country) and started getting a black screen, like it was trying to load a video ad and couldn’t get it started. The only way to get out of it was to close the game down and restart it. That is until yesterday… when I close the game and try to restart it, it just opens back to the black screen. I’ve restarted the game several times, made sure the app was completely closed out, shut down & restarted my iPad several times, and even let the app stay open to the black screen for hours hoping that it would close on its on after a time however, nothing happened. I hesitate in deleting and reinstalling it because I would rather not lose the levels achieved. From the recent posts I’ve read, this is not an isolated case and appears to be tied to a recent update. I hope the developers are busy working on the problem and will have an update to fix it very soon and please fix it so we don’t lose our current progress, coins or points. If you can fix the problem I will update the rating..Version: 1.206.2
✓ I’ve enjoyed reaching the level I’ve achievedI’m a bit disappointed now as I’ve never bought packages to better my score as I wanted to use my brain and knowledge. I feel I can’t compete with the folks that are obviously purchasing words etc - so I wonder if there can be a challenge or reward or incentive to keep myself and others involved - probably not as it is a $ driven game - cheers.Version: 1.236.0
✓ FrustratingHave got through to level 2659 and it shows that only 1.11% of players get this far.... my target has always been to get under the 1% mark. Now it just freezes every time I try and play it which is so frustrating! I can’t play any more tournaments so I keep getting demoted in badge colours. After reading the reviews it seems to have been a common complaint, and for a long time. You’d think the creators would have sorted this out by now. I’m reluctant to delete and restart from scratch as I’ll lose all that progress! I’m hopeful that one day I’ll open it and it’ll actually work for me. Until then I’ve found better apps to occupy me..Version: 1.216.0
✓ App crashesI have used this app for three years. Just recently, it crashed on me and wouldn’t start up. I uninstalled the app and then reinstalled it. I subscribed and paid my money per month so I didn’t get adds and now it has crashed again. I would love to continue playing it but I’m not starting again now..Version: 1.210.0
✓ GLITCHES AND YOU LOSE ALL YOUR SCORESI have really enjoyed playing this game and thought the app was really good . The first time I downloaded this game ( iPhone) after having played it for about 10-15 days , the screen would go completely black every time I tried to open the app. I tried everything to make it work but had no luck. In the end , I had to delete the app, lose all my precious score, reinstall the app and start from scratch. I have now been playing for about 10 days and the same thing just happened. It is incredibly frustrating when this happens as all the time and effort put into accumulating a score literally ends up in the bin. I afraid won’t be downloading this game again..Version: 1.208.0
✓ NopeIts not a bad game to kill time if you buy it. However, the contests and the puzzles are rigged. The contests you will be in first all the way up until the end when someone with way less puzzles solved will come out of nowhere and take it from you. Pretty sure they are bots and not people. One “person” jumped 400 points in their score without actually completing anymore puzzles then when i checked their profile just an hour earlier. The puzzles are rigged because only certain ones let you find 3 letter words and certain ones don’t. They don’t want you to get “bonus” words so quick that you don’t have to buy coins. I got this game because i thought i could play with family you can not. Just the random bots they put in to keep you playing. So done with this crap. What a waste of $6..Version: 1.298.0
✓ Too many pop-upsI love crossword puzzles so when a friend recommended this app to me and I tried it, I quickly purchased the ad-free version. While the puzzles are really fun, this game has so many darn non-ad pop-ups that it takes away from really enjoying the game long-term. For example, you are automatically entered in tournaments and then provided your results and whether you are promoted or demoted to other leagues, whatever the heck that means - different leagues seem to have no bearing on the games. You are automatically put in timed-events sometimes. You have to navigate through two or three pop-ups each day you launch the game. I just want to do crosswords; I don’t want all of the incessant pop-ups. Buying and doing crossword puzzles in a paper book is more enjoyable than this app/game but it’s not always convenient to carry around a book and a pen like it is a phone. I wish there was a version of this game or someone else would offer an app that’s simply crosswords and none of the other extraneous junk this game forces players to sit through..Version: 1.256.0
✓ Not great…Well, I like the game in principle, I’d actually be willing to pay a cost if it meant we didn’t have to watch any adverts of any kind while playing the game. This really detracts from what could be a decent game, and it would be nice to be able to skip to harder levels. I mean, 15 minutes in and I’m still doing two & three letter words… C’mon..Version: 1.276.0
✓ Add’sThere are so many annoying adds and they go on and on which distracts from the game.Version: 1.320.0
✓ Good gameI don’t understand but they advertise a different game deceiving people.Version: 1.326.0
✓ Bad faultWhat really winds me up is the symbols on right hand side, I build a nice pile of coins and catch the 120 button with my right knuckle and it wipes out all my coins, I don’t want that sort of help it is very badly placed and you don’t even get the option to X it like on the middle one. Otherwise it’s a good game. What are you doing with the ads i now have to remember to turn my sound of, one ad is so bad my poor dog nearly had a heart attack, i loath bingo and an ad that starts with a kd srerchung is very, very unpleasant. And just as i managed to save some points the STUPID 120 gets touched and they all get used IAM BEGINNING TO HATE THIS GAME AND WILL UNINSTALL IT..Version: 1.220.0
✓ Where are my coins!Hi there, love this game, however was particularly stuck today and bought 250 word coins for $2.99 Australian dollars. The payment went through fine, however all I got was 20 word coins, I tried to buy again thinking this hadn’t gone through but a pop up came up and said I had already paid. I check the word coin offer and it says you get 250 coins for $2.99. Please can your sort this out. Thank you.Version: 1.228.0
✓ Good game but needs improvementMy biggest issue is that coins are a very sparse. It’s not ideal because hints cost so much. If this changed it would be a much easier, user friendly game. Even if you were to use your own money, it would be very expensive. Not worth it! Google is your friend with this game but that should not be the case. Stop being stingy! Also, you get a LOT of the same words over and over. Overall, if the coins were more available then I would say this is a great game. However, they’re not, so it’s 3 stars..Version: 1.230.0
✓ Fun but..Don’t get me wrong I LOVED this game. To be honest it was one of my favorites. But these new updates that they are adding just doesn’t make the game appealing anymore. For starters, they added the update where you have to buy the coins you EARNED from the piggy bank, which is really annoying especially if you earned a lot of coins, and it doesn’t go into your coin count. The game just uses that to make more money. Another thing, the game just randomly crashes when you get to higher levels. The last thing is that even if you buy no ads, the ads are still on the screen, which is a real scam of money like the piggy bank. I don’t recommend getting this game, unless your willing to spend a lot of money trying to make it better..Version: 1.198.2
✓ Really disappointed!Loved laying this game. Got way up in the levels, and it suddenly stopped playing. Black screen. Deleted the game and downloaded it again, got halfway to my previous level, and it did the same again! Up until this point, it was very enjoyable, with a daily challenge, and frequent challenges against other players, both of which you could choose to play or not play. Really pleased I didn’t pay to have the ads removed..Version: 1.204.2
✓ AdSame ad over and over for days. I understand these adds pay for the game, nice change will be nice.Version: 1.318.0
✓ Fun but....I'll listen to an audiobook or music while playing the Crossword Jam game, and an ad will pop up. I understand there are going to be ads. I even play extra ads for the bonus content. My problem is what the ads do while they are running. The ads blare over the audio I was enjoying while playing your game and at an alarmingly loud decimal while completely disabling the audio app I was listening to while playing. I’ve turned off the gameplay sounds and the background music in within the app's settings and have muted my phone to no avail. I have no problem with the ads am; I'm not willing to pay $9.99 to disable the ads as that is too much, plus the Crossword Jam app will freeze my phone 10 out of the 10 times I play it. Is there some way to disable all app sounds, including app ads, while the Crossword Jam app is running so that I can continue to listen to the audio I was already enjoying on the other audio app? Nothing in your app’s settings nor my iPhone notification settings seems capable of correcting this problem. The only settings for the app in my phone’s setting menu are the generic notifications settings which are already turned off. I want to know why you choose to override my preferences and blare your advertisement’s audio over my music or audiobook and at such alarmingly loud levels? I’ll watch the ads with zero complaints but shutting down my preferred audio is not ok. How are you going to fix this?.Version: 1.246.0
✓ Is alrightBut the dictionary is a little weird and it is not a scrabble dictionary..Version: 1.326.0
✓ Crossword JamTHIS GAME CHEATS. IT WITHHOLDS POINTS AND FINALLY STARTS EXITING THE GAME REPEATEDLY. WORST GAME EVER. This started out great! It quickly became my very favorite game! In fact, I am currently on Game 2360, country is Montenegro, and the percent of people completing that game is 0.85%. Now...the problem is that for the last few countries the game has cheated me out of Bonus Points. It will either turn to a black screen or just not give the points. It varies. I first thought it was just a one time thing or maybe a few days’ thing. Wrong. I also questioned my internet but that was not an issue either. The withholding of points worsened as I continued completing the games and going on to the next country. It is now to the point that I rarely get any points at all. Today it didn’t give me the consecutive day points. This is a serious problem that needs to be addressed. In the beginning and 3/4 of the way to where I am I would give it a five star rating. Now I wouldn’t even give it one star. The puzzles are difficult enough as I progress. Crossword Jam should not cheat and withhold points. Shame on them. I TAKE AWAY THE ONE STAR I GAVE THIS GAME IN MY PREVIOUS POST. It will NOT let me proceed. It keeps blanking the screen and exiting out of the game—repeatedly. Currently I am on game 2505 and the country is Bolivia. I have tried and tried and it will not let me finish the game. In addition, it WILL NOT GIVE me ANY points even though I earn them..Version: 1.148
✓ Blank screenI also have had this game shut down and stop working. When i open it now, it’s just a blank black screen. I’ve emailed the developer and not heard back. I’ve tried a bunch of things to fix it but nothing worked. I’ve paid for coins so i’m guessing i’ve now lost that money. Poor performance on all fronts. Be careful if you make it a long way with this game….that it doesn’t go blank on you too..Version: 1.210.0
✓ Great game, but ad banner is running malicious malware.This is a great little time wasting game but the ad banner that runs across the bottom of the screen is running malicious script and malware. My virus protection program keeps picking it up. Will be deleting game to to this..Version: 1.322.0
✓ Black screenI have enjoyed this game for a while, so still 3 stars. When black screen appeared the first time I even reinstalled it again. I can even stand the repetetative , annoying adds if they give you some coin. I have learned to avoid unwanted adds that play between levels that don’t do nothing by closing and restarting the game. Now the black screen is on again. That’s the end of that…..Version: 1.218.2
✓ LevelsAfter about 250 levels you get really bored of it and it always has the same words.Version: 1.326.0
✓ Inconvenient adsFun but too many ads. Most of the ads also have sound which stop my music or audiobook so I can’t do both at once. I only play games while listening to audiobooks so I guess I can’t play this game..Version: 1.326.0
✓ Pretty goodI enjoy this game, but not for long periods. I find it difficult to play on my iPad as the game graphics will not turn either sideways or upside down. So if I need to charge my iPad, I can’t play the game at the same time, since I cannot turn the game so that the side with the charger is any place except where it runs into the cover. I don’t seem to see I have to watch any ads at all which is really nice I must’ve paid for the ad free version? If I did, it works. So if you’re somebody who likes to pay to have no ads and it’s a reasonable price go for it because I haven’t had to put up with any ads even the optional ones. Also, I find the background music/noise annoying. I probably need to figure out how to turn it off….Version: 1.306.0
✓ Crossword jamI’m enjoying playing this game and always on number one spot but disappointed I can’t get and claim my rewards points of 250 ..it happened twice now..recently today October 12, 2020 my score is 5127 and last time was 7554 and my name is Mhel So it’s wasted my time and effort playing this game without getting rewards for being number one 😟😟 February 13, 2022 It’s a rigged 😒 I’m playing to the dummy players... When I’m on lead score..suddenly came out the other dummy players from no where with high score ahead on me...they playing but their solved puzzle never change...just wanted you to keep playing.. Waste of time😟 where’s the real player?? Player photos all the same...using other players profile as dummy/poser.. In the beginning it’s so much fun but later on you competing to the dummy players😕 Please be real!!! February 21, 2022 Why???? How this player got 500+ words in a minute??? Not even change their solved puzzle I’m on the leaderboard when the player appears with that score and put me in the second place..thinking what the..*@#$ Not happy anymore and decided to delete this apps 😒😫.Version: 1.236.0
✓ Horrendous AppIt pointlessly and aggressively promotes things you’ve repeatedly declined (and can access from the main screen should you ever change your mind). You’ll see a little of this mindset when you first use the app and are given tutorials which cannot be skipped or even delayed. No thought to user experience. More fundamentally, the app does not have any clear approach to words which are included and those which are excluded. I wish I’d taken note of the numerous examples while I tried to persevere with this app but I did not. It’s just denied the word (which ruins the streak which is important for maximising points) risqué for example which is a perfectly valid word. I believe it’s accepted delta and iota previously but rejected beta. Had only iota been accepted then I’d think this was logical since it’s commonly used in English but delta is less commonplace by far and its specialist use is also be true of beta. My point is that not only are totally valid words excluded but it’s seemingly totally arbitrary. Another example I just remembered was that the word quire was needed on one level. This is included while risqué is not? This is preposterous. My phone autocorrected me several times in my attempt to write out quire (including just now, annoyingly) to quite, quote etc more than once in the former case..Version: 1.280.2
✓ Too many adsWas a fun game but after a few levels there’s an add after every level.Version: 1.318.0
✓ Be aware!For a while I was enjoying this game until they showed on the screen a purchase certain amount of money which I hadn't requested. It just popped up quickly like I had purchased already. I also started to notice that they wouldn’t put the coins if I had won, once again lousy scheme to force or mistake the player on a purchase. Be careful..Version: 1.186.0
✓ Advert supportedI appreciate you need and use ads to survive. What l do not appreciate is full volume blaring crap asking me to download a game l do not want. My wife loves waking to that. As much as l love your game, l will most likely be uninstalling and moving on soon. I play the game on silent. Your ads should follow your controls too..Version: 1.322.0
✓ Pretty much what jenbjenbjenb said plus a total deathI was liking this game. I am not one to put out cash to play, but I did as the initial amounts were small. Then not so small. I gave up on the piggy banks when I had to shell out $7.99. I did not need the coins anyway. The tournaments were interesting also. I run the game on my two iPads (one for home and one for travel) so I had two separate games going. I was using my home iPad and the screen went dead black. Out of charge…nope. The game went black. When I reloaded it I got the first screen…then fade to black. I went to my travel iPad and the same happened. 🤔🧐🤔🧐🤔 oh well, it was fun while it lasted. Second review 9/9/21 Ugh! Huge ugh! I have never played a game with more glitches! I lose time, I lose coins, I lose my patience. I sit through an ad, glitch to black. I reboot. I watch an ad for coins, glitch to freeze or to black. I reboot. I am giving them one more week, and I am gone if I see no update improvements. I am so very glad I did not sink more money in this game. 😡🤬.Version: 1.212.0
✓ Fun to play...This is a great game to learn new words, there meanings, and a fun way to pass the time. The only thing I can’t wrap my head around is something with the scoring in the diamond tournaments. I look at the ranking and I’d be in first, and then I’ll play 1 puzzle (takes me about 5 minutes) and immediately look at the rankings again and somehow the person below me jumps up nearly 300 diamonds in 5 minutes pulling way ahead! It seems to only happen when I get near the top of the leaderboard which seems kind of odd. It’s happened several times. Not sure if it’s some kind of glitch or somebody who literally does nothing but play this game. Even still, getting 300 diamonds in 5 minutes comes out to finding a word literally every second. Doesn’t seem possible. But other than that in my opinion this is a fun game to play.Version: 1.90
✓ Game keeps freezingWas loving this but now it keeps freezing which is annoying. It is causing my word score to drop because it glitches while I’m part way through spelling something and creates an error. Then it is just frozen for minutes while I sit and wait. Please fix the bugs! This game is great and I would have scored it 5 stars if not for the frustration..Version: 1.230.0
✓ Repeats the same level twiceThis game is a lot of fun which is why I gave it 2 stars. However, once a level is completed it plays an ad and then takes me back to the same level to repeat. I have been completing each level twice. It’s very annoying and I probably won’t play it anymore because of this I have only rated it 2 stars.Version: 1.288.0
✓ Ad is misleadingOk game but I downloaded it based on an ad that showed a much better and more complex game. The ad is basically a huge lie..Version: 1.100
✓ No adsI have paid in order to get rid off the ads but I still get them which is very frustrating and I have tried to contact you through your game and it doesn’t work which is suspicious I have tried five times to contact you and just I can’t send you my question. Sorry couldn’t you please fix this. Thank you.Version: 1.312.0
✓ Noisy adsGreat game until recently the ads come on with SOUND despite sound and music turned off. Very startling when playing in bed with baby asleep next to me. Not on 👎🏻. Please fix.Version: 1.148
✓ WordMy game isn’t saving this is irritating!.Version: 1.324.0
✓ Enjoyable word game, except for…The fact that you cannot access the coins you earn by playing unless you pay REAL money to do so. Not the first game I’ve played with the buy back ‘piggy bank’ structure but certainly the first where all your game rewards are inaccessible otherwise. Stupid and greedy because I bet I’m not the first or last to say bye bye because of it. Shame because the gameplay was good..Version: 1.222.0
✓ ReviewEvery time you have a contest that ends it asks you to see the scores or has continue and yet it won’t let you, it freezes. For 2 hours I couldn’t get the game to play. No issues with other games. Only way for me to get out of it was to shut my iPad down. Don’t understand why I need to shut my iPad down just for your game to play. Next time I will just remove the game completely..Version: 1.140.0
✓ Victoria reviewHey guys it’s me again I actually figured out a way to make it work for me because I just things of money I put a good five dollars Fred but it was definitely worth it so originally I gave it a start because of all the issues I had and if you saw my first review you’ll know what I’m talking about is basically kept on kicking me out I mean we download and everything like that so I just want you guys to know that don’t say that reveal cause I think it’s a fun game like a lot and I really like it it’s good for long car rides so if you’re ever bored in the car and do you wanna play Word Search go to Crossword Jam because it’s a really really really fun game so yeah this is why I’m gonna be giving it three stars I didn’t get much better but I did get somewhere I got two full stars that are the only two reasons why I didn’t give it the extra two stars is because I soft watch ad and you didn’t you just get help without having to pay for it that is still annoying anyway if you need help just ask them you don’t have to pay any of your money right now the actual money in the game is a big money why do you have to pay for that why did you run out and you still need help like cause it’s rude really rude so yeah I love you guys bye.Version: 1.316.2
✓ Limited VocabularyI have been playing this game for about 6 months now and noticed that it takes forever before new words are added to the games. Makes it boring real quick. The worst thing that happened to me is accidentally clicking on one of the ads which automatically opened my Safari as well as the App Store. When it opened Safari, it closed all the tabs I had opened causing me to lose a lot of important research I was working on. Safari’s appearance changed as well after that. I went ahead and did the iOS 16 upgrade and hopefully remove any viruses or Trojans on my phone. The App is not deleted from my phone and cannot trust the creator of this software now..Version: 1.268.2
✓ Game freezes constantly just 1 issue among manyI paid for a no ads package but when I play it on another device I still get the ads. Worse still, it’s always freezing and the only fix is to shut down the iPad and on one occasion I had to delete it and reinstall and lost all my progress and had to start from the beginning AND had to pay again for the “no ads” package 😡reading other reviews I can see the game freezing is a common problem which the developers should fix!.Version: 1.222.0
✓ RecommendationThis game is really nice. You can learn to spell short and long words. But the downside is that if you want to delete the game it only deletes from your Home Screen. Meaning you can never delete the game because it will stay in your library . Unless there is a trick which I don’t know. It stinks because I have low storage and that is basically the reason behind it because it won’t delete. Now I am not exactly sure I’m looking at the wrong picture or something because I don’t know a way to get rid of it. But there may be a way. So I would really like to know how to get rid of it from my phone. Other than that the game is pretty good. I even had downloaded Word Trip..Version: 1.286.0
✓ A series of ads linked by occasional game playThe review by jenbjen (etc) is spot-on. The basic behind the concept is great, but the avalanche of ads is overwhelming. You truly do spend more time enduring (horrible, low quality) ads than you do playing the game. Surely a business model exists wherein the devs can profit without bombarding players with garbage ads! And, as an aside, someone really needs to come up with a counter to that “save the king” game wherein we have the opportunity to set fire to the king— I know I’d play! As jenbjen… pointed out, this “game” misses a whole bunch of legitimate words, so it’s not much of a learning aid. Not that I can see anyone wanting to improve their English skills putting up with the ads. And the tournament play is *highly* suspect— presumably just a come-on to increase ad views. There are MUCH better free games that are far less annoying than this one. After countless hours wasted on this sequence of ads, I’m done… for good. My advice: don’t waste your time installing this. Find a good crossword game and spend your time working puzzles instead of watching ads for a stupid fat king..Version: 1.308.0
✓ Screen keeps going black & crashes!!!This is a great app to play but theres a downside. It keeps crashing! After watching some of the advert videos that pop into the puzzle the screen goes black & you can’t get back to the main game so have to reload the game. Such a shame as without this annoying glitch it would be very good & get 5 stars..Version: 1.230.0
✓ Please make Bloom Rush / Treasure Hunt optionalI like this app for the challenge and for keeping my spelling/vocabulary sharp but frankly 2-3 mandatory Bloom Rush / Treasure Hunt each week is too much! Sometimes I enjoy the challenge (and usually place well) and other times I just want to do a puzzle or two to clear my mind or unwind and then another dang mandatory challenge pops up. PLEASE consider adding an opt out feature. The most recent challenge was during Christmas. 🤨 48 hours later there is another one. I either have to join the challenge or stay off the app for a few days. It’s getting to where I have to join or stay off the app more often than just casually playing. This one small tweak would make a big difference in user experience..Version: 1.282.0
✓ I used to like itRecently, nearly every time I complete a game, it wants me to submit my name for, I’m not sure what. There is no way to get out of that screen except to submit my name, or turn off my device and start it up again. Then I play another game or 2 and that comes up again. I just want to play the game. I don’t care about statistics, scores or tournaments. Please just let me play one game after another by allowing me to exit that “submit” screen. Otherwise, I will stop playing & delete the game. There are plenty of similar games. Update: I started playing this on my iPhone instead of my iPad. The above problem went away. But I often get an ad and can’t get out of it. Clicking done or X doesn’t work. Today when I opened the game a screen came up about tournament results. Nothing happened when I hit “see results” & it won’t X out. The only way I can continue is to turn the phone off & on again. Then soon an ad won’t close & I have to turn it off & on again, and again...Version: 1.166.0
✓ Misleading AdI have never downloaded a game based on an ad but this one looked interesting. It wasn’t. It’s basically a less sleek version of Wordscapes. This is not a crossword meets word scramble. It’s just a word scramble…and not a very good one. Deleting this immediately. Why would anyone lie in an ad??.Version: 1.314.0
✓ All efforts lostHey CrosswordJam App team, I’ve been playing this game for months and amassed a very high score. It’s been an enjoyable experience learning curious, sometime obscure words and accumulating lots of bonus points along the way. That all stopped very recently as the game loads and the screen then goes black. I assumed by reloading the app, it would resolve the issue, but alas, I just lost all the legacy points that I accrued over the past months. Terribly disappointing..Version: 1.212.0
✓ Problems!I’ve been playing this for a long time and really enjoyed it but I’ve got to say that the farther you “travel” in this game the worse things seem to be getting. I’m inputting words in (often more than once in the same game) and they get rejected. Then, at the very end when I’ve only got one or two words left to fill in, all of a sudden I try one of the rejected words again (having no other choices) and after using points to try to find letters, it turns out that the words that were previously rejected are not suddenly correct! This is definitely a system error!! It’s getting rather frustrating! I’m on level (?) 1487 and this issue seems to be getting worse the further I go. Please fix it!.Version: 1.294.0
✓ Good but needs improvementsThis game is good, it’s fun and enjoyable but what I really dislike is that you cannot get rid of your piggy bank, I have tried but it is literally impossible to do. I don’t want to waste money and I earned the coins that went into the piggy bank so why can’t I get them back?! Now I can’t get any coins without paying for them cuz my piggy bank is full and the extra money that I have earned has gone into it. Please sort this out..Version: 1.254.0
✓ Crossword jamLike the game but there are so many adds. Even during the game you are playing. Going to delete it..Version: 1.324.0
✓ A complete disappointment after 1.5 years of playingLove word games and puzzles. I’ve been playing this game for about a year and some change. One thing I’ve been noticing is, the game doesn’t credit your points. Example, from time to time they will throw in the option at the end of a game, to watch a short advertisement. At the end it says you’ll get “10” tokens, then when you get back to the game and notice it didn’t give you those said coins. Same as for when you finish a chapter it says it will give you 20 or 30 tokens, you once again see that you never get credit for it. Not sure if it’s a flaw or what, but it makes playing the game useless. It could be a way to get those who are hooked to buy some in their play store. Either way, don’t fall for this game!!.Version: 1.284.0
✓ Bugs in the systemI really like this crossword puzzle game that I downloaded last week. At first it was smooth sailing then the game began to glitch. India was when the glitches first started. By the time one is at Turkey its so bad it becomes very frustrating to play. Screen freezing not only whilst creating the words and in other places as well. Have taken screenshots of all this if you want to view them. This is the only app game that does this You have some serious bugs in the software that need addressing. Please fix as would like to continue playing Thank you.Version: 1.202.0
✓ Game audio issueGame audio comes through phone even if the privacy slider is engaged. That is not normal functionality, but the game is fun despite this..Version: 1.316.2
✓ Ads to frequentI used to play this a few years ago. Now I know why I stopped. There are too many ads compared to other games I play. I enjoy this game so it's unfortunate..Version: 1.324.0
✓ ChallengingI like this game and I play every day. But the points don’t make sense. I agree that I am not getting the points I seem to earn. Another time, I had almost 900 and then the next day I was down to a little over 200. Not sure why. I do use hints but not that often, certainly not 20 times in a day. Now I add up or deduct each time I use the hint. And what do the other buttons do? I don’t want to select them to find out because they require use of more points but what are they for? (Thunder bolt and pointing finger). Please add descriptions in how to play the game. Also explain if there are any other reasons that point are deducted or not added. I think that would help. I like this game but I lowered the rate because I don’t understand some of the features..Version: 1.98
✓ Money pinchersThey’ve made an enjoyable game worse the updates have taken away the daily scratch card where you could win something for free it wasn’t much but it was something, then the daily free spin they’ve changed from every four hours to six hours for a free spin again not much is won but they’ve took it away to try and squeeze more money from people, a little bit goes a long way but these have now turned into money grabbers.Version: 1.272.2
✓ Black ScreenThis is a really fun game. I enjoy the tournaments except for one thing. The past few days I have been getting a black screen when I’ve tried to play the game. I’ve turned my phone on and off to restart it but I’m still getting a black screen. Everything else on my phone is working fine. I’m almost wondering if it’s intentional. I’ve won 3 tournaments in a row without needing to make in app purchases. If this is a way to give preference to players making in app purchases over players that watch ads, it would only be fair to mention this upfront. If it’s a technical glitch, it’s been going on for several hours now. You may need a more knowledgeable IT employee so there is less down time. It’s the only game I’ve played that something like this has happened. I would have given the game a solid 5 star review if it weren’t for this issue. The game itself is a lot of fun..Version: 1.206.2
✓ UghMy coins disappear! Like from well over 200 to suddenly 10. A game comes on that I don’t want to play and interrupts the game I do want to play which I downloaded! If I wanted to play the other word game I would have downloaded a game like it. And after this game appears and then I go back to playing the original game is a lot of the times I lose lots of coins. I am forced to play in tournaments. I believe that there are either bots playing or people who have computer programs that they’re using to cheat since sometimes some of those players jump MANY, MANY points VERY FAST! Then I’m either promoted to a higher level where there are more bots or computer cheaters or I am offended by being demoted! I am FORCED to press the play now button for these tournaments or I can’t play the game anymore. If the tournaments are mandatory then why make me press the button??!! I hate being forced to join tournaments. I was offered 50 coins for a reward for signing in with Facebook but when I did that I didn’t get the reward! I used to really like and enjoy this game until all of these thing began occurring..Version: 1.274.2
✓ Please develop additional levels soon!Too bad I can’t give this game a 0. I’m giving up on an update, so I’m deleting it. Too bad, because I used to really enjoy the game. It’s been so long since this game was last updated that I wish I could give it a 0 rating! It’s been weeks, if not months, since I could last play this game. If I could, I would give it 0 stars! This game STILL hasn’t been updated! What gives?! I had originally given this game four stars (see original post below), but am downgrading my rating because it’s taking the developer so long to add additional levels. I’ve paid extra to be able to play more, but so far my money is being wasted. No fair! I enjoy this game very much, but I HATE being hassled repeatedly to “show them some love.” I continue to give this game a four-star rating, but am seriously considering dropping it to three stars because of this hassle..Version: 1.194.0
✓ USED to love your game, USED to 😢I don’t know what you did the beginning of 2024, January or maybe February, but now the game freezes CONSTANTLY!! I used to love the game, but now it takes 3-4 tries to open properly, it opens and freezes. Most recent competition only had 40 participants, 40, that’s very few, something is wrong with that!! 😢😢 Even typing a review in game wasn’t working right and freezing!! I typed a review in the game, but words were invisible, cursor kept moving normally but no words showed up. I sent the invisible review, then opened App Store download, went to review section, went to start a new review, which caused my sent one to open (with words….. hurray), and this is the “edited” version!! 😢 Fix it, you’ve lost a lot of players. I love your game and want it to quit freezing!! 🙏🙏Anna.Version: 1.326.0
✓ If I could give zero stars I would!!Game advert within an other game showed this to be interesting yet once downloaded and played it was nothing like the ad shown so for that reason and that alone other than the two day wait for support I’m deleting the rubbish! And wouldn’t recommend anyone else to download the game! Disgrace either fix the game to suit the adverts in other games or fix the adverts to properly show the game or end up being removed from the app stores for false advertising! Pish game anyway!.Version: 1.310.2
✓ Disappointing ‘upgrades’This game has been ‘improved’ to its detriment. Multiple additional layers seem to have been added to it which don’t add to gameplay, nor streamline it in to something better; rather they unnecessarily complicate it. Additionally, when you now toggle the order of the letters at the bottom, they appear in a different order with a shadow image of the letters in their original position as an overlay. Visually confusing/over stimulating. The effect of this is to make the game less accessible/inclusive..Version: 1.146.1
✓ Crap game, very unfairEvery few days there is a tournament. I’ll be in first place, play one game and be down by 500 points all of the sudden. It’s impossible! You get 15-50points per game. I’ve paid the fee to not have ads. That makes it doubly impossible! I’m on nearly level of 4,000. I don’t think they get harder as they go up. I played 2 games ago and only earned 13 points, but the next game had a lot more letters, thus causing more words to solve and more points. I got 46 points the last game I played. That’s when I was up be 300 pts, and all of the sudden I’m down by 500! There’s no way anyone could earn 800+ points while I solved a single crossword. I’ve spent so much money on this game only to be cheated daily! Last tournament I lost by 20,000 points! That’s not possible. Unless, they played 24/7 and got high point crosswords each time! Just beware, if you’re competive don’t invest in this game! The only people who get points after the tournament is 1st place! Second place gets zilch! That’s a lot of hard work over 70+ hours. I’ve invested too many hours to start over with a similar game..Version: 1.286.0
✓ Game freezes upThis game continually freezes up. So rather than get points for continuous day playing it does not recognize you trying to play. Also when the “piggy bank” is full why should I have to pay to redeem. I sure earned it. Other games just give you the reward. May just delete the app especially if there is no response seems all nicknames are used will try another guess there are a lot of complaints!, ok now 5th try all others are used. Going on my 15 try 16 Dog. Again game is frozen 11/27 will give 1 more try and if not working will delete. Liked the game but the freeze ups are annoying. Plus never a reply from the developers. There are many other games available Patches here seems quite a few of us are getting disgusted with your inept problem solving. Now that you have had my $$$ I should either get the coins or a “double” my money..Version: 1.276.0
✓ App crashesI played this game for a long time and and enjoyed it. The app then started to crash and for a while doing a restart worked. Then it crashed all of the time so I deleted and reinstalled the app. All my progress was lost! I had used the app with my Apple login but all progress gone. Won’t use it again..Version: 1.204.2
✓ 👌It’s ok lol.Version: 1.320.0
✓ Ads are InappropriateHi to whoever is reading this. Crossword Jam is a great game, but has constant ads, and most of them are frightening or inappropriate. The last ad I saw was an advertisement for a pill that makes you lose weight. This kept popping up over and over, so I just turned off my Wifi and played that way. There was another ad that was about “Royal Match”, and the ads are frightening. One of the so called “Playable Ads” showed a king underwater, and you had to solve a puzzle to keep him from drowning. If you want to make a game that kids can play, can you at least make the ads appropriate? Please and thank you? Also, some of the words that are in the dictionary are apparently incorrect when you match it up here. Isn’t RING a word? This is very annoying, especially when it’s the last word of the puzzle. Please fix this so these words are valid! Otherwise, this app is great! The levels seem to go on forever and there are more than one hundred countries you can go through. The power-ups aren’t bad at all, and the levels are challenging..Version: 1.230.0
✓ Utterly Disappointing.You label your game as being a “Brain game for adults”! Why then, do you initially present people with such incredibly simple ‘tasks’ involving 3 or 4 letter words? The required skill level of these tasks is probably better suited to a primary school child. And that’s just the first turn-off. I doubt very much if you considered the possibility that someone whose interest is piqued by the phrase “brain game” is likely to be motivated by being rewarded with “prizes”. And certainly not by a tinny voice complimenting you on having completed a four letter word. Furthermore … Just look at the stark skill-level difference between your promotional image, the one which asks us to try to get 20 words from the letters within the circle, and what you want us to do. That merely invites a disappointing initial response. CR - Melbourne, Victoria.Version: 1.280.2
✓ Bugs!Keep having to redownload this game as it freezes with sky mobile app 6gb for price of 3! It’s always the same app and I’m certainly not paying £9.99 to have ads removed. I got to silver the first time, if anything it was too easy, but can barely get to 4 letter words before it freezes. Time a lot of these games were removed until the errors are fixed once and for all. My nickname is genie and it’s what I want to continue to use but it says the names taken. OF course it is, by me. For a game that when you delete says history will not be kept, it’s certainly kept my avatar but not my playing history!.Version: 1.172.0
✓ Not as good as I thought.While the game starts being so exciting and new, one eventually runs out of good words. Some words like 'isle' and other repetitious words can always get you out of a jam. However, eventually the game becomes predictable. Sometimes one spell words knowing they are indeed correct and should be able to obtain mega bonus points, the game does not recognizes them and you don't get the bonus for the effort. Sometimes I connect the letters and form the correct word however it does not catch. It seems the game wants me to use all my bonus points but the object is to leave me without bonus points for when I really are in a jam. When this occurs, it really becomes frustrating because the cue to the initial word in question, is the same word I just connected. And I was right. Not good. It seems that if you want to improve people's brains, redesign the game to include a comprehensive on command dictionary. For those words that are unfamiliar to you. So, this game helps you to parrot and repeat usual words. Not so much brain exercising but mimicking and parroting. Not so much de eloping brain. More like a broken record. Copy some traits like Kindle. It has a comprehensive dictionary for those words you want to learn meaning to. Then, you learn to use them properly. It also has a Wikipedia link and Internet link. I do't mean to through shade. Only providing points so the game could be a real brain exercise..Version: 1.82
✓ AddWAY to many ads for my liking.Version: 1.322.0
✓ Not as advertisedI downloaded the game for the crossword puzzle clue aspect, but that part does not exist. The ad shows solving the puzzle using clues, but this is just like all the other scrambled-letters apps out there..Version: 1.98
✓ There's better apps out there with the same conceptThe game is fun at first, but has a lot of faults. You have to pay to access the coins that you earn in game, they're held in a "piggy bank" but aren't stored there until you've played for a while, so you can access them at first but can't later (you need coins for hints, which you'll need after a while, trust me). The app doesn't recognize all words in the dictionary as actual words, so it limits the bonus words you can accumulate (which help you earn coins that you CAN access). The amount of ads is actually ridiculous, I don't think I've ever downloaded a game before with the amount that this one has in it. There's an ad after every game, even if it's only 3 words that need to be found, and every time you open the app. I started only playing this game when I wasn't connected to wifi and turned off my data so I didn't have to deal with them. There's also daily challenges where they want you to watch EVEN MORE ads. The app will host tournaments where you can earn a lot of coins if you win, but once you approach higher levels the amount of coin prizes drops. When I first started the tournaments there were awards for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, but the most recent tournament I entered only had a prize for first place, so unless you play the game 24/7 you won't win. The theme is cute and if you like these kind of words games then you'll have fun, but all of the issues I stated above are why I'll be deleting the game..Version: 1.180.0
✓ A good game spoiledIs this a con?i Have been playing this game off and on. for weeks, enjoying clearing my head, but wishing it would get harder. Today I reached where only 5% of people were bothering to solve it. I wanted to reach The End. And what happened? It flipped back to almost the beginning, with only 5 letters. Fed up. Waste of time. If you're of a competitive nature, don't bother. Will delete it. Also, when I said I wanted to comment, it asked if it could communicate vie Gmail. I said yes, and it showed an inaccurate address. Doh! As I said, Delete! Two weeks later...here I am again...have begun making a note of the groups of letters...I know I've played some of these games before. Re-rate as One Star..Version: 1.18
✓ Some goodChallenging, it quickly gets very hard..Version: 1.316.2
✓ Love this game but tournament rigged?So I am start the tournament and eventually take the lead. Less than a minute later three scores pop-up with almost double my points ahead of me. Less than 2 minutes later, top score is almost 3 times my score. I am new to this game and this is my 3rd tournament and this always happens a couple of times during the same tournament but never this dramatic for scores. Fine, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. It was a fun game but I hate games that cheat so goodbye to this game. Will delete now..Version: 1.120
✓ New Frenzy ModeI normally don’t update many apps because a lot of the updates that apps make are ones that I find to be unnecessary. But I decided to just update all of them one day and all of a sudden Crossword Jam has this “Frenzy Mode” that zaps and fills in a bunch of letters and now it’s made the game way too easy. Before this “Frenzy Mode”, the game was fun and challenging and had the thrill of working your brain to solve the crossword. Now it just feels like the words are literally being handed to you and no effort is needed in order to pass the level. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make there be an option where “Frenzy Mode” is optional and can be turned on or off in settings. My mom also plays this game and agrees that it’s an unnecessary feature for a game that should be fun yet challenging. Until there becomes an option for “Frenzy Mode” to be turned on or off in settings, I will no longer be playing the game..Version: 1.312.0
✓ Will not work with updateJust updated it opens goes the startup procedure then promptly shuts down. Rebooted the IPad to no avail. I have enjoyed the program having solved 3400 odd puzzles but it looks like it is the end of the line for me. The operation system is 12.5 and cannot go higher. If it requires a later operating system it would have been nice that advice to that effect was given.Version: 1.304.0
✓ Screen is Suddenly BlackI’ve rediscovered how great this game is and have been playing daily, achieving lots of objectives and earning coins etc. I’m currently in Emerald category, but this afternoon, the game loads and the screen is black, with music in the background. I have the most up to date version and it’s very frustrating not to be able to play my favourite game. Please sort out a fix for this bug?!.Version: 1.236.0
✓ Being demoted is counterproductiveI have enjoyed playing this words game up to now, but the developers have turned me off by having a tournament system where you can be demoted rather than ‘not progressing’ - this is depressing and not smart when all around us we hear bad news daily. Intelligent apps should always be motivational and uplifting, not negative in some aspects, so I will probably delete this game..Version: 1.220.0
✓ Expert Levels - What a Joke!So I can finally go to my grave knowing I finished all the levels of the countries only to have my score reset from 0.01%. You now take us to the flowers and call this Expert Levels. In the beginning there were a lot of 3 and 4 letter worded games, near the end you started repeating the same games over and over again, like your devs got bored and thought, no one will notice! Now you basically take us back to the beginning, call it Expert Levels and we are starting all over again with 3 and 4 letter words. Expert levels would have 8 or 9 letter words not rad, red, nag, not, ton, dog, god…… No comment about having multiple adverts running during the game. Deleted for good this time..Version: 1.298.0
✓ Frustration plus!!!The set up for obtaining rewards from the Bonus Jar is ridiculous. After having found sufficient extra words to fill the jar, you’ll then have to watch a video to empty it. At this point you will then have the block of the message “no video available” repeatedly and cannot empty the jar. If you try to carry on playing, any extra words you may find will be lost and you are constantly being told to empty the bonus jar - basically there is no point or pleasure in continuing to play so why even have the game taking up space? Deleting it as soon as I post this rating because it’s a waste of time and effort. Poor design fault in my opinion..Version: 1.90
✓ Keep your eyes open! It Cheats!Updated review: I’ve been playing this game a long time and all the issues that plagued it when I started are still there. In fact the loss of points has gotten even worse. I think I actually get points about one out of ten games! All the garbage that pops up right in the middle of playing is awful. I can be right in middle of making a word and the bonus word jar will pop up saying it’s full with only one word in it, as well as the piggy bank stating it’s full. Then there’s the other ridiculous pop ups also right in the middle of the game. At least me finish the word. if you’re right handed, the word hint (costs 120 points) is right at your knuckle and I’ve lost almost all my points by simply tapping my knuckle on the button when I’m making a word. It either needs moved or have the option of not using it. It needs some serious work to get a 5 star rating, as it’s far from it. NO POINTS AWARDED after Royal Match Ads. SECOND Update😡 Now all the new ads that don’t have a 5 second limit, DO NOT AWARD ANY POINTS! No point in sitting through them when you’re just cheated anyway..Version: 1.310.2
✓ Not quite fair.I started in a “tournament”. I was number 1. I was ahead by 22 points. I noticed at the end of my next puzzle ( less than 2minutes) that I was suddenly #4 and someone was ahead of me by 56 points Seriously, what the heck is that?!!?.Version: 1.318.0
✓ Fun game…misleading leaderboardI do enjoy the game but a few things bug me about it. 1) There are numerous occasions where actual words are not considered words (even bonus words). The dictionary needs an overhaul, as apparently “ding” is not a words. 2) The leaderboard...absolutely fake. I played last night and the “person” in the #2 spot was at 3602 points (I was in 3rd). I started playing again this AM, but checked before I started…”person” was still at 3602. I played ONE round which took under a minute, and immediately dropped to 4th. The “person” in 2nd went up to 3802. So in that short span, this player mysteriously started playing at the same exact time and somehow managed to get an impossible 200 points… I have no doubt that if I spent money on this, the outcome of #2 would differ greatly, but I’m not spending money on a word game. Just get rid of the leaderboard success placebo as it’s just false advertising..Version: 1.228.0
✓ Good game - too many ads and sneaky with the coinsThis is a great game, BUT there are WAY TOO MANY adverts, which is unbelievably irritating. Also, when I have 5 coins for clearing 4 puzzles, for example, only 4 coins actually get added - this has happened a lot of times. This is unfair and a cheeky way for the developers to try and get people to part with their money to purchase coins!! Nice try, but I won’t fall for that..Version: 1.262.0
✓ Cheats on pointsI love word games and my vocabulary is quite large. Usually I finish quite quickly, but sometimes I get stuck on a word and come back to it later. I am over 2,000 in points and have never left a puzzle Uncompleted. However, this game cheats you out of points all the time. I was twice over 1700 and knocked down to 1500 for no reason. Also the bonus words tell me when I have accumulated 40 points but only 15 or 20 are added to my score. This game would be a lot less frustrating if it did not cheat you. I rarely use a suggested letter which cost points, but still lose points. I think the reason for this is bc they would like me to buy coins which I would never do. If I ever ran out, I would quit. I don’t like being cheated..Version: 1.84
✓ Crashed and lost it allI’ve given a 1 star rating since your game crashed and I lost the ad free play that I paid for and the level and coins that I had were also taken away. I don’t have the game connected to Facebook or Apple, and I sent a screenshot of the receipt for my ad free purchase, along with the level 535 that I was on and the 960 coins I had. It was all lost when your app crashed, and you never restored it. I followed the instructions in your email and it didn’t work, I never got a reply and left multiple emails and contact forms. Terrible customer service, I feel ripped off of the $12 I spent and lost with the game. Seems like a scam, I am very disappointed since I really enjoyed the game before it crashed and I lost the hours of play I spent getting to that level and the money I spent on ad free..Version: 1.208.0
✓ Videos unavailableKeeps telling me videos unavailable it has been for over 2 weeks now so must be a glitch or are you deliberately stopping me from earning extra coins if so get it sorted please…..update on update installed the new update for videos unavailable it worked once was able to play videos and now getting the same VIDOES UNAVAILABLE every time l click on it PLEASE GET IT FIXED Also the daily spin is getting worse by giving mainly the burst wins instead of being fair and giving out more of the free hints l have notice up to4 or 5 of the bursts wins in roughly 10 spins but the free pick wins maybe 1 or2 in 30 or 40 spins come on make it fair and even and give out equal wins across all spins…again today on the daily spin more and more of the burst hint less and less of the free hints and free pick hints should be random and not fixed like it is now. It’s now going blank during adverts and stays blank definitely a glitch get it fixed or l will be deleting the game NOW PLAYING UP SO I CAN NOT CLOSE ADS GOING BLANK KEEPS FREEZING AND ALSO TELLING ME TO UPDATE WHICH I HAVE DONE TWICE IN 2 MINUTES THIS IS GETTING WORSE NOT EVEN PUT UP THE X TO CLOSE ADS GET IT FIXED OR I WILL BE DELETING and now the adverts are coming in with SOUND even though l have my iPad on MUTE why is this if l have it on MUTE l do not expect to hear absolutely nothing GET IT SORTED.Version: 1.314.0
✓ UnscrambleJunk ,shame on you for making such idiotic rules.Version: 1.322.0
✓ I enjoy the game, but…I enjoy the game - I log on and play regularly, but some adds are inappropriate to the game. As an example, decision making games based on family drama - not ok. Thankfully they are 30 seconds or less. Also adds with moving imagery at the bottom of the screen (a new thing), they need to STOP now - or I stop. You’ve tried them, I appreciate why, but ‘no’..Version: 1.266.2
✓ Great until it got stuckWas really enjoying this game until it got stuck in a level and the only way to get forward was buy coins. With all the advertising you have to watch I felt like this was a bit of a cheap trick..Version: 1.230.0
✓ AdsI understand the reason for ads and I really don’t mind when they appear but, these talking ads that you’ve started putting on some of my games are driving me mad! They are so distracting & really irritating. It’s not easy to turn the volume off. It’s completely putting me off playing & I'm now looking for an alternative game. Please stop using this form of advertising, it’s awful!.Version: 1.310.2
✓ Good in the beginningI finished this game from start to finish. There's times when you input a word and it'll say the word isn't in there just so you use coins or a spin. Then I would put in the same word AFTER using my coins and the word would be in there. Once you get to the upper levels you don't get as much coins (I get it because of a challenge) but at least I would have liked to get better spins. Then they charge you more for a hint as the levels go up. I started to see glitches but I kept the game until I finished it through. Like I said before I liked the game in the beginning towards the end I was ready to uninstall. Not many coins. It sikes you into purchasing coins and you get bull spins and they charge you more coins per hint smh..Version: 1.32
