Crostic Crossword-Word Puzzles for Negative User Reviews

Really enjoy the gameLove the game, hate the ads. Paid to have no ads and still have to watch ads. The daily calendar has ads for each day you do. At least make it so you don’t have to watch ads for that day. Previous days, to catch up, you have to watch ads. This keeps people coming to your game every day..Version: 2.9

ADDS!Another game with too many adds.Version: 2.1

Too many ads!!Good game but way too many ads!.Version: 1.5

Ad NightmareI hate giving such a negative review to a game I could see myself enjoying but the amount of ads in this game is beyond ridiculous. I tried ignoring them and skipping through them but every single puzzle has an ad before AND after you complete it. I don’t think I want to play a game where 99% of the time I’m watching ads and being forced to pay $5 to get rid of them..Version: 2.7

TitleIt’s an ok game in general but way too many ads, doesn’t work without 5 bars of internet and crashed many times for me. I would just get a different puzzle game..Version: 2.1

Slow with a lot of lagsWould be fun but there is so much lag between keyboard and screen display. Frustrating to play while constantly clicking keys waiting for display to catch up..Version: 1.5

Ads ruin the funLike many games there’s too many ads but this takes it to the extreme. Before and after anything you do are these longs, repetitive ads. I can’t take it anymore so as nice as it was to learn facts, I’m deleting it. No one’s buying hundreds of games on here, people are over it ✌️.Version: 2.8

Can even play the game…Downloaded the game, but for some reason whenever I tried to play or tap anything it said connection lost or just played an ad?!.Version: 1.7

Had potentialCame to say what pretty much everyone has already, but the concept of the game is really fun but the ads are a killer. I can’t even turn off my wifi to play without ads? Feels like a huge scam and I’m disappointed I couldn’t play more than two levels without getting bombarded with 5 ads in that span of time.Version: 2.9

Too many adsSolved the tutorial level and instantly got hit with an ad. Upon closing the ad, it repeatedly keeps popping up, waste of time this app.Version: 2.8

App Doesn’t WorkI downloaded this app and played it for an hour (also paid to remove ads), then closed out of it. When I went to open it back up later, it just gets stuck on the loading screen and never opens. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it worked again, but I lost all my progress. Then I closed out of it again and went to reopen it and the same problem happened! I can’t get past the loading screen..Version: 2.0

GREAT GAME - Too Many AdsThe game itself is fun and gets your brain gears rolling. But after every level there’s an ad for another game and it’s frustrating when you’ve gotten into flow and would like to continue to next level. The ads a long, & on top of that, you can’t skip them until like 10secs or more. I deleted it from my phone for this reason. As I said the game was fun - ads not so much..Version: 2.8

Too easyUnfortunately this game is not for adults as it is way too easy. Each level can be solved in under 20 seconds and there are ads after every level. Cute idea for young kids but for anyone older there’s no challenge or difficulty making the game lackluster..Version: 2.4

Good gameGood but every time I pressed on the hint button it gave me an ad but no hint good overall though.Version: 2.2

Great game but app keeps freezingI love this game but there are too many ads. The app also keeps freezing..Version: 1.6

Great game but terrible programmingLoved the game but sadly the ads try to force you to download other gaming apps. I couldn’t get past the first game.Version: 1.6

Over all a good gameI have to agree with everybody in the comments. Maybe after every 5 games or 3 you have a ad, because your levels after you beat every single one you have to watch, skip, exit, and back out of the App Store just to get back to the game…. Maybe if you offer (free) “hints” for watching ads it wouldn’t be so bad. Might delete, it’s a lot extra to skip the ads when I can buy a cheap crossword book 😅 someone let me know if they update and change!!! Would love to try again.Version: 2.4

Want me to buy & Subscribe?Love this type of word puzzle! With that said, there is much the devs can do to improve this app! First off, the style, coloring, just the general appearance needs to be better… way better!!! Feels like an app from 10 years ago! Come on, modernize it! Second, desperately need DARK MODE!! There are numerous apps with this type of word puzzle, even another from this same dev. What makes this one stand out to me are the interesting “facts” given after you solve a puzzle! Keep those facts coming!! But PLEASE 🙏 Improve the appeal of your app!!!.Version: 2.7

BadCan’t figure out how to type the words.Version: 1.6

Can’t Completely Remove AdsI purchased the Remove Ads package but still have to sit through Ads for the Daily puzzles..Version: 2.3

DisappointingI played one game, it went to an Ad then the whole thing froze. It wasn’t interesting enough to keep deleting then downloading again 👎🏻.Version: 2.2

Ads ads and more adsReally like the game. Wanted to try it before paying. Bombarded with never ending ads. And some, you need to restart the game as it freezes. There are too many purchase options. There should be a way to put all ads on silent.Version: 2.9

Crostic FameCan be frustrating fun as all is not what it seems!.Version: 2.2

Educational but full of adsEach round gives you information on things you may or may not already know. However, there is an advert after each round which does become annoying after only 3 or 4 goes. This has put me off as I prefer to play the games that I download. It will now be deleted from my phone..Version: 1.5

Literally unplayable because of an ad that will not go awayI never leave reviews on games or apps but I had to here. I played one round on this game then got an ad, totally normal. For some tiki solitaire game. No biggie. Not interested in the ad, I let my phone sit for a minute waiting for an option to close the ad to appear. After 2 minutes nothing appeared, so I decided to play along and play the small demo for the game within the ad. After finishing, the screen shifted to suggest I click to download the game from the ad. Not interested, I again let my phone sit waiting for an option to return to Crostic. Again, nothing happened. Defeated, I clicked the option to download the ad game hoping it would make the ad go away and I could resume playing. No luck. Repeatedly for 5 minutes I tried pressing everywhere and anywhere on my screen, but it would only send me to the App Store to download this new ad game. I have never removed a game from my phone so quickly, shame because I felt like this had potential. I have downloaded hundreds of games over the years and this is the first time I have ever given a 1 star review..Version: 2.2

Reason for 3 starsI rated this 3 stars out of five because I paid to get no ads yet I’m still getting ads. Huh?? Yes it’s less but I still have to watch ads to do previous months’ puzzles. Why did it say no ads if purchased?? Otherwise it’s fun. They should be more clear on the no ads purchase and if we still get ads it should be much cheaper than $4.99..Version: 2.4

Loved it until it stopped loadingI loved this game. I love word puzzles, and this one was fun. I really enjoyed playing before bed. I purchased the no ads option. Shortly following this, it stopped loading. There was an update so I updated my phone, restarted it, uninstalled/reinstalled three times (each time having to do the stupid tutorial). It works for a session, but then to open the app again, it does not load..Version: 2.0

Great game, but ……Down loaded and paid for it and now wont load. Very disappointed. Considering asking for a refund..Version: 2.0

AdsThe game itself is great. I would love to play it. But when I have to spend more time waiting for ads to play than I do playing the game it’s just not worth it. Let me know if you ever fix that. An add after every game is too much..Version: 1.5

Paid to remove ads, why do I have to watch 2 minute ads for daily puzzles?This game is a great time waster (you can decide if that’s good or bad), but it feels really crappy to have paid to remove ads and support the developers and then still be forced to watch the worlds longest ads to play daily puzzles. Please fix this devs, these gardenscape ads are going to drive me to madness..Version: 2.9

Ads ruin the gameplayIt plays an ad after each solved puzzle which is very irritating. Ads generally last 20-30s. Not good. Deleted..Version: 1.9

Soooooo many adsI understand why apps have ads, but they could certainly be less intrusive. I played one (10-20 second) game before watching a loooooong full screen ad. One for every 5 or 10 minutes of play would be reasonable, but I can’t watch a long ad every 10-20 seconds. Too bad - this seemed like a fun game..Version: 2.3

Too many ads.You spend more time watching ads than playing. Plus, the game is very slow in responding. My other games are fine, so I’m not sure why it runs so slow.Version: 2.2

Paid for no ads, still get adsI paid the one time fee for no ads and I still get ads… annoying and frustrating and makes me close the app every time.Version: 2.6

Zero stars if possibleI like the idea of the game but I don’t like that I can’t even get into the game and it doesn’t even work 🤬🤬😡😡👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽.Version: 1.6

GoodGreat concept. There are too many repeat words that you see too quickly after finishing a round. There is a current glitch where you can’t exit the ads when they’re finished and you have to close the whole app then try again..Version: 2.9

Too many AdsLove the game but way too many ads!.Version: 1.5

Same sentiment as everyone elseWAY TOO MANY ADS. You would think they would take action based on these reviews but they only care about money. Shame..Version: 2.3

HowHow do you even start the game?.Version: 1.6

Game blocI did the update , and now my game is locked.Version: 2.0

Good game play- too many adsThe game like so many is spoilt by too many ads after each level..Version: 1.5

Too many ads, too many bad puzzlesIt’s not enough for me to uninstall, but enough for me to complain. Like everyone else here said, there are WAYYY too many ads, and they won’t allow you to play offline despite the lack of online/multiplayer functionality. In addition, the puzzles on here often don’t line up with the hints given. The most egregious example so far was with the hint “Wealth” and the answer “means”. How do those words line up at all? Not to mention the tidbits at the end of completing each level have gotten way shorter than they were when I first began playing. Things I shouldn’t have to notice barely 24 hours in..Version: 2.6

Looked interesting but…When I watched the advertisement, it sounded fun! I downloaded it, but it isn’t loading. It’s just stuck on the loading screen. I’ve tried refreshing the app, re-downloading it but it still doesn’t work. Really frustrating, was looking forward to playing..Version: 2.0

Rip offWhat a crock, $5.00 for one day without adds. Played on first day and thought cool game worth five bucks. Next day comes and now full of adds and go to restore purchase and says none available. This game is not worth 150 a month. So tired of these mobile games charging these outrageous prices or making you sit threw 15 minutes of adds to play for 1/2 hour..Version: 2.6

Addictive. Kills battery. Ads ads ads!Challenging and addictive. Kills battery life VERY fast! Points reset everyday and you can't use your points to buy hints so I'm not sure what the objective is, except to kill time. LOTS OF ADS! Get thru ads quicker by catching fast forward icon (>) and X on top corners of screen..Version: 2.8

Ads can’t be x’d outUsed to like this one, but lately you can’t x out of the ads which means you lose the explanation of the puzzle you just solved. Ruins the game so I am deleting it.Version: 2.9

AdsNothing I hate more than a game that has ads after every level. Could have the potential to be a good game, deleted it after about 5 minutes due to ads.Version: 1.8

App doesn’t work offline (which makes the low ratings about ads much more concerning).Usually with games like this, they allow you to use the game offline since you’re literally only playing by yourself 9 times out of 10 and as such have no reason to need Wi-Fi for data that can be downloaded when the app isn’t open or when the app is installed…Not with this one. Very disappointing. I have a bad feeling that the ads, like other ratings have mentioned, will be egregiously prominent and keep me from enjoying the game..Version: 2.8

Good but…Ads are stupid long..Version: 2.9

Mostly goodOverall, the game is easy to learn and play. There are more ads than I’d really like and sometimes they pop up at odd times. Most of the puzzles are rather easy, but occasionally a word or two will be more difficult to solve. Besides the ads, my biggest complaint is that the ‘facts’ they show when you solve a puzzle aren’t always correct (like ‘Australia has poisonous snakes’ when they actually have venomous snakes). Not a super big deal, unless you like to remember the bits of trivia..Version: 1.5

Don’t buy the full version you still get adsDon’t say that your paid version “gets rid of the ads” when it doesn’t. Complete rip off!! I should not have to see any ads (especially 20 second unskippable ones) if I pay $7 for an ap. Ridiculous..Version: 2.5

Can’t openWhat’s up with game? Updated & now won’t open to play, just remains in load in initial open screen 🤔🤦🏻‍♂️.Version: 2.1

Fun, but skip this oneThis is just adding to the pile of reviews talking about the issue with ads. The game is fun, but not enough to justify the number of ads you’ll need to sit through. There is an ad after every single puzzle, which means you often spend more time watching ads then in the game. There is an option to pay money to remove ads, but this only works for the regular game ads. Daily puzzles and the like still have ads baked-in. This means that no matter what, even after paying money, you’ll still get ads. It’s disappointing because the game has promise, but the ads problem make it a pass..Version: 2.9

User bewareI would be VERY cautious using this app. Read their terms and privacy policy. There’s absolutely no reason to be collecting this type of data from users. I deleted the app right away. No game is worth giving up your personal info. Shameful..Version: 2.4

AdsI just recently downloaded the game and found the amount of ads insane. I did decide to pay for the no ad version but less than 24 hours after my purchase they are back again and it’s asking for another payment to get no ads. This really impacts my satisfaction with the game..Version: 2.3

Ads!Love the game but spoilt by so many ads ……deleting.Version: 1.7

AdsGame is ok but the amount of ads after every game I putting me off..Version: 1.6

Still seeing adsExplain to me why I am still subject to full length ads to access daily levels after having paid to remove ads. Game is fun, but paying for the ads to be gone and then still seeing them in 50% of the app is fraught..Version: 2.3

Too many addsAmerican centric, weird answers, constant ads and $7+ to get rid of them? No thanks..Version: 2.2

Too many adsGames is really fun too many ads not willing to pay five dollars almost to get rid of as probably won’t play games very much if at all I really hate games that have ads every five seconds are after every time you play one level really sick of these supposed free games but you have to pay to get rid of ads or pay to get things you should already win.Version: 2.3

Too many adsGreat game to play but your spending more time watching ads than playing! Not worth the time..Version: 1.5

Ads ads adsI had to delete this app. Can’t play offline thus useless to me..Version: 2.1

Love the game, hate the ad frequencyI understand that ads are necessary for earning revenue but goodness gracious! You open the app- get an ad. Select begin- get an ad. Complete the puzzle- get an ad. Read the trivia- get an ad. Go back to the home page to do nothing more than select begin again- get an ad! And these aren’t at all the brief ones that you can exit in 5-15 seconds. These long ads seem to be to intentionally annoy players into paying for the subscription. Well the annoyance part has been effective. Cool game but I have to uninstall as it causes more stress than it relieves..Version: 2.5

Fat glitchThere is a glitch at the start that makes the game so bad. It is to hard to play..Version: 1.6

EhGame seems fun but can’t play offline so was a pretty quick delete..Version: 1.8

Too many adds!Stop start all the time..Version: 1.5

Be warnedIt’s a fun game, truly, but for every 20-30 second “page” where you put in your answers there’s a one minute or more advertisement. You can’t shorten it or skip it. And the game doesn’t work offline, so you can’t play whenever and wherever you want or use that means to stop the aggressive advertising..Version: 2.8

Lots of adsGame is challenging, but 50% of the time you are watching ads. Every round there are at least 1-2 ads. No worth having on my device for all the ads..Version: 2.2

New updateThe game was great until the new update. Can’t get past the loading page unless you reinstall which causes you to lose all your progress. Can’t get past 400 points when it does work….Version: 2.0

CluesSome of the clues are appalling. Cryptic is great but some of the clues are neither basic or cryptic..Version: 1.6

AdsToo many ads.Version: 2.2

MehI was excited to try this because of an ad. Then you get the game and it auto fills the rest of the letter under that number for you, which to me takes away from the gameplay, and you have to sit through at least part of an ad after every single round of the game. I deleted it very quickly. Super disappointed..Version: 1.8

Ads galoreGame is cool but I’ve deleted it after a handful of go’s, so many adds on this one it just wasn’t worth it.Version: 2.4

Too many adsI installed this game months ago and promptly deleted it because I spend more time watching ads than playing the game. I installed it again today, and immediately remembered why I deleted it before. I get very little down time in my day and I’m not willing to spend it watching ads. Love the game, but it’s getting deleted again..Version: 1.6

Fun but too many adsOnly deleted because the ads were chronic. Too bad, was fun!.Version: 1.9

Saving progress???Just backed up my phone only to have all my progress wiped… have to start from scratch… help!.Version: 2.3

OkayThe premise of the game is good however, the ads are beyond ridiculous to the point of irritation amounting to quitting the game. Also the riddle at the top you solve there’s no rhyme or reason to the riddle no clue no idea no question it’s just blank until you solve other clues which is fine but the top then makes no sense as to a connection to the game whatsoever..Version: 1.7

Ads are insane!!Wayyy too many ads, and the price to remove them is wayyy to steep… I’d do it for $2 but $7 is pretty criminal!.Version: 1.5

CrosticToo long ads.Version: 1.7

Too many and too long adsLike the game but when I spend at least twice the time looking at ads as I do actually playing any game I get rid of it. I know your automatic reply is you have them so you can continually update the game or fix bus, but this one is by far worse than many others available on the App Store..Version: 2.3

Does not workGreat game, but if you stop playing it for more then about 10 minutes, it just stops working. It freezes on the title screen every time..Version: 2.0

Not much funIt is all about ads. When a puzzle is complete it switches immediately to ads, and there is no time to read the question, not even a second. After showing severals ads and opening new browser windows, the page comes back, but half of the time the original question you completed on the top is too long and half of it is cut off. The only way to read it is when the puzzle is 98% complete. This gets boring fast..Version: 1.9

Ads?It’s so disgusting with all these ads. Deleting it now..Version: 1.9

Won’t even loadHave not been able to play at all. One game loads I get an error saying connection lost. Not my system as I can play all my other games fine. Will be deleting..Version: 1.7

Waste of timeEnjoyed the game. Ads were too much. Paid to remove them. Now the game freezes and won’t start. When you uninstall and reinstall it might work but you start on many of those initial levels so it’s no longer challenging or worth playing. I look forward to the developer copying and pasting the exact same reply I’ve read 20 times already to others who’ve had this same issue.Version: 2.0

Spoilt by adsI really enjoy the acrostics, but all the ads go on for too long and come up too frequently . I considered paying for ad free, but it costs way too much. I rarely delete apps because of the ads, but this one’s going ….. I know ads are necessary, but these are much longer than other games I play. And I’d pay for ads free if it cost less.Version: 2.5

BiasedMultiple unrelated questions about Israel’s illegal occupation. Free Palestine..Version: 2.3

Long adsGreat game but ads are too long.Version: 1.5

Ads after 1 puzzleDownloaded the game, finished ONE puzzle, got an ad, uninstalled. Ridiculous. Update: I don’t go into games hoping for no ads. I DO go into games hoping that I can actually get a sense of what a game is before being advertised to. I understand that ads help pay for the development and improvement of games, but there is NEVER a reason to have an ad after the first puzzle-which was literally only a tutorial puzzle..Version: 2.9

Go buy a book insteadToo many ads, I’d rather spend $7 on a book of these puzzles.Version: 1.7

Adverts after advertsThe adverts in this are absolutely brutal. After each round there is yet another advert, the majority of which you can’t cancel very easily..Version: 1.5

Good game, poor planningWas so excited to play this game regularly. But to even play a second/ third time I had to uninstall and reinstall the app. Doesn’t save progress and I even paid the $8 for no ads. What a rip off!.Version: 2.0

Bad informationThe game was fun and challenging, but I repeatedly ran into the issue that the clues and the answers didn’t make sense, also some grammatical errors. My biggest beef was, when the answer referred to Charles Lindberg and they threw in that he was a polygamist. Not sure where they got this information, but it made me question how many other instances of erroneous information there are in this game..Version: 1.8

Used to Love ItSince the new update of IOS I can’t get it work. I have reinstalled the app several times. It gets stuck at the opening screen. Secondly, the app doesn’t save my data in the cloud even though I paid for the ad-free version. Maybe I need to seek a refund. Each time I reinstall it works once or twice and then not again. It just get stuck. Moreover, I keep paying the same games over and over because it didn’t save the level I achieved. I’m sooo disappointed..Version: 2.0
