Crossword Helper for Negative User Reviews
✓ Latest versionI updated to the latest version yesterday and now it crashes as soon as it opens - you don't even have to put a word in and it crashes - already tried rebooting phone, didn't change anything.Version: 2.1
✓ No ad-free version?Love the app, very helpful, however sick of how often the ads pop up. Clicked in app on “get ad free version” as I’ve used it enough to want it, but just directs to App Store page without any option to actually buy an ad free version which is not only frustrating but very misleading. Would rate much higher if it actually delivered what it advertised..Version: 3.2
✓ AnnoyingDeleting this app because, although it's very helpful with words, it keeps jumping to the App Store for no reason- wanting me to buy apps I guess..Version: 2.4
✓ CW HelperEasy to use app in previous incarnations but the pop up adds from the latest update are annoying and closing them can make the app. crash. A good lexicon of words, definitions, synomyms, etc. but not great. Links to Wikipedia are handy, links to Wikionary or other dictionary databases would be an improvement..Version: 2.1
✓ Ads are very intrusiveThe same ads for 15 seconds every time you look up a word..Version: 3.2
✓ ImpossibleGetting impossible to use. Keeps jumping to another internet page. Before that it was 5 star. Stopped using it, more the pity..Version: 2.4
✓ Too longI don’t mind the Ads but there’s too many and last too long using up my data.Version: 3.2
✓ Was good, now awfulUsed to be very useful but now only useable for a few seconds at a time before it opens ads in Safari without warning..Version: 2.4
✓ HelpfulIt's certainly a helpful app but I keep having this issue where it will only scroll down through the list of words so far then act like it's at the bottom of the list when it's not. I've tried closing the program and restarting but keep having the same issue..Version: 1.5
✓ Crossword HelperI updated this app a few days ago and absolutely hate the update. The pop-up ads are very annoying!!! Through sheer frustration, I today deleted the app. Thankfully I had the previous version in my iTunes so, while making sure I was disconnected from the Internet, I reinstalled the old version. Yay!!! I'm now back in business with the old reliable, user friendly CW Helper..Version: 2.0
✓ New ads really annoyingUpdate hasn't improved - would rather pay for better app with no ads.Version: 2.0
✓ This App Has Been Wrecked-Look For a CompetorThis was a great little App. Now it is unusable. I don't mind seeing adds, but it constantly takes you out of the App while your trying to use it to somewhere trying to sell you a game or something. It is really annoying!! Don't get it!.Version: 2.4
✓ Opens "mini games"Trying to use, scrolling down screen, and it pops up "loading mini-game", and loads some other app. This is unusable for all the popups. Never another AFKSoft app. Never. Absolute fail..Version: 3.2
✓ Ads make it impossible to useCan’t even type in 3 letters before an ad pops up. Impossible to look up even one work because the ads pop up every second - no exaggeration..Version: 3.2
✓ Used to be great. Hijacked by adsI've had this app for 5 years. Is now unusable as it keeps opening the App Store - without even touching the screen. Change your advertisers or lose your users!!!.Version: 2.4
✓ Solves many difficult cluesThis is a great app. I can often get stuck on the very hard clues but this app often gets me through. It would be even better if the dictionaries were more comprehensive because it goes to wiki far too often..Version: 1.5
✓ KerryFar too many ads...boring!!.Version: 3.2
✓ Video ads finally made me delete this app.I was fine the static ads that are at the bottom of the app and even those that pop up when opening the app but the ads that play video are a step too far. App deleted..Version: 2.4
✓ AnnoyingTerrible intrusive advertising of these mindless games is ruining this app!.Version: 3.2
✓ Really disappointedI use to love this app and used it a lot but now it is almost unusable with the incredible amount of popups advertising other games. I will look for another app to help solve crosswords. DON'T download. Look for another app. Very disappointing..Version: 2.4
✓ JohnFound it an excellent app on loads of occasions. Further to the above I have dropped it down to 3 stars because of the constant and annoying pop up adverts, get rid of them PLEASE. Have also found on a few occasions now that the app will just stop working..Version: 2.2
✓ WAS good now terrible!!Have been using this app for ages and it WAS the best around. Now the ads, without any input, auto-open Safari and then the App Store all the time and the app is unusable. Do NOT download. Other apps with the obligatory ads are at least useable. This isn't. The app needs rewriting to allow a sensible advertisement strategy..Version: 2.4
✓ What went wrong?Things have gone seriously wrong with this app. It keeps reverting to an internet page. I have emailed and sent pictures of the problem but it is getting worse. I have had no response as to why this is happening. I was such a lovely, user friendly app but it has severe problems. Can someone please, please sort this out. This app was wonderful. Then it was updated - stupid adverts - gross colours - it seems to have fewer words in its memory. Why couldn't it be left as is was? There was nothing wrong with it - change is not always good. Can I have the old version back..Version: 2.4
✓ Update full of ads & pop upsHave used this app for a few years - always found the ads very annoying but now they pop up and flash as well - pretending to be facebook messages. About to uninstall the app & buy another :( The developers shouldn't get so greedy.Version: 2.0
✓ RidiculousAdverts now make it unusable. Deleted..Version: 3.2
✓ A Decent AppWorks okay as a crossword solver but isn't that helpful when it comes o colloquialisms, slang, etc..Version: 0
✓ Too many adsApp is impossible to use as ads appear every few seconds which forces you to buy the full version! Do not bother downloading!!.Version: 2.4
✓ Terrible terrible terribleThis app would of been good if it wasn't for the adds taking you away from the app all the time. I had my phone sitting beside me and before the screen timed out, it automatically switched to an add on another page. Also, it needs updating. Some words were just not there.... After this I'm deleting..Version: 2.4
✓ Not worth it anymoreThis used to be a great app, now it randomly opens Safari and surfs to ad sites without being touched. I can't complete typing in a clue without several openings of Safari - incredibly annoying. I would buy the paid version because the app is useful, but don't want to reward this type of hijacking. Have deleted instead..Version: 2.4
✓ What happened?Was fantastic and I used all the time. Recently having same problem of constant pop up ads. I can barely type a word before it opens safari. Is now unusable..Version: 2.4
✓ Was greatLast update makes it crash a lot when opening, something to do with adverts. When it eventually shows the advert properly without crashing it works great. It now fails to lookup alternate words.Version: 2.2
✓ Wat too many ads.You can’t use it without another ad popping up. I need another app. I’m disappointed in this one..Version: 3.2
✓ AdsFar too many ads..Version: 3.2
✓ Aargh! Pop up hell!!!Used to be great, I used it to help me design puzzles. Haven't used it a some time, but now that I've come back to it, I've found it unusable. It hijacks my phone to a browser window of ads. I don't even have to touch the screen, I open the app and in a matter of seconds I'm whisked away to an ad. Close browser, back to app only to be spirited off again. I can't even get one play out of it before I'm off to view another ad. Useless to me. I'm killing it..Version: 2.4
✓ More ads than helpUsed to be a great app. Now between the streaming ads and the popup ads, you may as well use a book..Version: 3.2
✓ Too many adsWay too many ads, some 30 seconds long. I’ll find another..Version: 3.2
✓ Yes what went wrong?Nasty nasty. Constant interruption to an unknown website on Safari then to App Store to load unwanted app. No longer usable. Do not recommend. Previously I had given this 5 star rating when it worked and was useful. Now it is time wasting and useless and possibly unsafe..Version: 2.4
✓ Bugged with OS4This app was working quite well appart from not knowing what alot of its suggestions mean when you look them up. However since OS4 it bugs out and minimises before you can use it..Version: 0
✓ Ad maniaThe product is helpful and well designed. BUT it now is bent on launching ad websites. Even without following links the f$&@#* ad links get launched. It has now become impossible to use. I will be deleting it..Version: 2.4
✓ Crossword HelperThis is the most frustrating app with ads being displayed as you try to type in a word. I will be deleting this rubbish from my phone and telling all my fellow crossword people how rubbish it is.Version: 3.2
✓ Too many adsVery tiring as there are long irrelevant ads between each word we try to solve! Very frustrating!.Version: 3.2
✓ Too Many AdsI like what the app does, but every time you touch your screen an ad pops up! Drives me crazy. I deleted the app after three days..Version: 3.2
