Penny Dell Daily Crossword for Negative User Reviews
✓ Those adsThe new ad for some very sugary sweet cereal that I would never eat much less give my kids, takes two to three times to run. Sitting through two minutes is not the same as sitting thru a 30 second ad. Is it you or them? And as I just read from another review, some ads crash. Get it together. Or is this a hoax? Are you reading these and laughing? I'm giving you one star. A week or so later... Tonight when I started your game I noticed that the ad was taking a while so I decided to time it. It’s been on for over 11 minutes and it’s not over yet. I know you want us to pay to use your game so we don’t have to watch the ads but this is a bit extreme. I have noticed that there’s a whole new way ads are run and new types of ads, not just for other games. And this is true for other games I play. I have seen this ad many times now (for iPhone photo school) and it’s length varies. So, when I finished a game and the ad started - it was the same ad and was going to run for 15 minutes. Are y’all aware of this?.Version: 5.6.7
✓ Fix this app!I have done thousands of puzzles in this app and have thoroughly enjoyed it. But in the past month or so a bug has crept in that is very frustrating. If I get stuck in a puzzle and I click on the button to watch an ad to turn on errors often instead of playing an ad I get the spinning wheel of frustration like its trying to load an ad but can’t quite get it done. It then locks up and I can’t come back to the puzzle until at least the next day, or else I have to reset my iPad. It’s getting to the point that I’m about ready to delete the app because there are other crossword puzzle apps out there that don’t have this problem..Version: 5.6.47
✓ Ads Lockup GamesIt used to be that the only problem with the free version was that occasionally an ad would not appear and I would be unable to do anything unless I rebooted my iPad. That still happens, unfortunately (amazing after so many years with this problem!). But the BIG problem is that you cannot get out of a couple of ads at all and play the puzzles. The biggest offender is the Lending Tree ad. Impossible to get out of it or get rid of it. Sometimes it goes away by itself. Usually it is hours before I can continue with the puzzles..Version: 5.6.19
✓ UpdateSince it was updated a few days ago I'm unable to play crosswords as it doesn't load properly The update has ruined the app Also now after watching the Ads after it finishes it won't go Keep pressing the Cross but nothing happens Loved the game but it's not worth the trouble anymore.Version: 5.6.1
✓ Too many adsThe puzzles are great and I enjoy doing them but there are way way too many ads that interrupt the game. I can understand one or two but every time you want to do something with the puzzle choices like hints, you have to sit through ads. Just way too many to make the app fun and I may have to find another app that doesn’t interrupt playing with ads. Please don’t tell me to buy the ad free version - I don’t do that because you can’t get your money back if you decide the app is not for you..Version: 5.5.2
✓ My ReviewI am having trouble with these crosswords , they are not particularly difficult but as I amAustralian , lots of the words I haven't heard of.Version: 3.0.0
✓ Penny PuzzlesPlayed one game and couldn't continue until a review was written. So...not sure if any good or not yet. Back later....Version: 1.24
✓ The ads!!!I love this game but the ads have gotten horrible lately. They get stuck and I need to close the app and start over then the ads come again. I expect ads and the game has always had one before it starts but now it’s horrible. PLEASE FIX THIS! The ads were working fine for a while but now they are horrible again - not all of them. It seems to occur with the ads for the word game. You can’t get out of them. They never show up completely then if you touch the screen the screen for purchasing the game appears. If you close that, the screen is black. If you touch that screen, the screen for purchasing comes back up, and on and on!.Version: 5.6.75
✓ Just one thingI have thoroughly enjoyed this app. It is one of the few that I have actually spent real money on. Which leads to my only real complaint. Each difficulty level for the daily puzzles they want me to watch a 30 second ad. Sometimes even multiple ads per each level. I've paid you $30-$40 for your puzzle packs. The least you could do is allow me an ad free experience. I've actually refused to play for over a week due to the long and intrusive ads that were forced on me. I have no qualms with deleting this app if you persist on forcing me to watch long ads in order to play. If this is fixed, this is an outstanding app. Reward the people who pay you their hard earned money with an ad free experience..Version: 5.5
✓ Ridiculously annoying adsI get the need for ads in a free app, but when you make them stupidly annoying I delete the app and see none of them. Congratulations. Tell your advertisers you ran me off. And no, Mr. Developer Response, I won’t be annoyed into paying $15 to not be annoyed. Make your ads not annoying. The developer response is a perfect example of a scripted answer pasted in for marketing purposes regardless of what the review was about. At least have the courtesy to respond to what was actually written, which was how hideously annoying your ads are, not the fact that they're there. Then again, a developer whose ads are as hideously annoying as this one's are doesn't care about users anyway..Version: 5.5.2
✓ Too easyThis game is awesome to play in terms of how it functions. However, it is way too easy!.Version: 5.6.62
✓ 3 starsGood app and I like the alternative clues, but way too many ads..Version: 4.4.0
✓ Who Writes These Puzzles??Again, I ask, who writes these darn puzzles?? Is it one person? A team of people? A computer word-generator?? Whoever or whatever it is, they need to quit being complacent and think up some new words!! I do at least the hard and medium puzzles every day, and I can give you ten words that each have a 75% chance of being in either the medium or hard puzzle, or both: Era, eon, age, eer, ere, ewe, erne, ore, oer, and owe. Not to mention any clue that includes doing something “again.” You can’t just use the prefix “re” before anything and make it into a real word! 95% of puzzles also include one or more clues for a random Greek letter... There are 24 Greek letters! They might as well use the clue “pick a number between 1 and 24”! Not only do they reuse the same clues every day, they aren’t even good! “Before, to a bard”??? These clues are so, for lack of a better word, cheesy! If it’s one person writing these puzzles, read a dictionary! If it’s a team, have more brainstorming meetings! If it’s a computer, supply it with a new database! So I say, pun intended, to whomever or whatever writes these stinking puzzles, get a clue!.Version: 5.6.5
✓ Crossword?No, a good word game!!.Version: 4.1.0
✓ Bad AdsI love this game but why is the fake Wordle still being advertised..Version: 5.6.50
✓ Not backwards compatibleI just did an update and now it won't work on my older iPad. Even deleted and reloaded. Won't work Don't do an update!!.Version: 5.6.55
✓ TerribleThe app works the first time you open it, but then it bombs you with ads and will not let you use the app. The ads crash it. Deleted. Gone..Version: 5.6.60
✓ Buggy adsWas going great until I started getting ads that go on forever. I have to quit the app to get out of the ad. But now I can’t check for errors..Version: 5.6.36
✓ FrustratingThe ads are increasingly becoming hard to get past. They keep freezing and it's impossible to play. Move on and find something more user friendly!.Version: 5.6.43
✓ Awful experienceI downloaded yours because I wanted some easy crosswords, I have used your books, and what I got was one fun and easy crossword. When I tried to do another at medium difficulty, another 45 second ad, then when I asked for a hint ,or something else simple, another 45 second ad, only this one wouldn’t give an X out when it finished, so the only way to proceed is to shut the game down and restart and , yep ANOTHER 45 second ad. I’m sorry, I know you needs ads, but in the short time I’ve had this game, more time has been on ads than playing the game, that’s ridiculous. Just charge a couple bucks and get out of the way. I’m deleting this now , which is a shame, because I like to support companies that are not intrusive with the data they collect. But this is abusive..Version: 5.6.41
✓ Too AmericanIt's a fine app, but clues & answers are too American, often a different language from ENGLISH English. I was using the British "Clean Crosswords" app, but it failed with the event of iOS 9, and they haven't bothered to fix it. So we're stuck with USA English. Wish there was a "neutral" English..Version: 4.2.0
✓ Not the bestNeeds updating, needs options to win coins/prizes the smart select needs to go to the words with missing letters.Version: 4.4.1
✓ Ads freeze game from starting. Have been playing for years.What seems to be the problem?.Version: 5.6.62
✓ Only okAds are way too long- lost interest.Version: 5.6.4
✓ Doesn’t work anymoreAds won’t close, can’t play the game. Deleting app..Version: 5.6.46
✓ What Happened?Recently (since an update?) about every other day the Easy puzzles are no longer easy. There are words and concepts I have never heard of. Do you have a new crossword puzzle designer? I used to be able to do the puzzles every day, rather easily as I like, but something has changed. They are more like Medium difficulty puzzles which I would select if I wanted them to be more challenging! I would say it was me except that some days they are like they used to be (easy and do-able) and some days they are not..Version: 5.5.7
✓ Too Many AdsI love doing crossword puzzles and used to buy the Penny Press Puzzle Books in the stores, which had multiple types of word puzzles. I thought this app would be similar but it is not. First, there are way too many ads. Second, in order to enact the error mode, you have to watch yet another long ad and it’s only for that puzzle. There’s an option to make it ad-free, which I almost did. Being half asleep, it costs $9.99 to remove the ads, compared to other apps that’s outrageous. The most I have paid to remove apps from a game is $0.99-$1.99..Version: 5.6.43
✓ It’s fun to doI have to remove the app n reinstall frequently bc it doesn’t always open. Maybe bc I don’t pay for it!.Version: 5.6.74
✓ Like it well enoughPlaying the free daily game, I know I have to put up with ads but it’s annoying all the same. Wish the free book in their digital library had more challenging crosswords. Has three tiers (easy, med., hard) and the difficulty is pretty much “as advertised”. These aren’t NYT level crosswords; they’re from Dell, like what you’d pick up in the checkout line at the grocery store, and to be appreciated as the light diversions they are :) The app has been reliably stable the past two or so years I’ve had it..Version: 5.6.7
✓ WrongDoesn’t work with iPad rotated upside down..Version: 5.6.70
✓ $30 To Remove Advertising?Not even the best Crossword App out there, and they have the crazy $30 charge just to remove advertising? Uninstalling today..Version: 5.4.3
✓ Puzzle good - ad time badThis puzzle is fun to do. However, about a month ago, it became a pain to get out of most ads. I know ads are needs and they want us to read/see them. I don’t have a problem with that and some are fun to look at. But putting me in a loop when I am trying to exit the ad is becoming quite annoying and turns me off to the product being advertised. At first I thought it was just a developer problem with the ad, but it continues week after week. WordPlay (I think that is the name) is the worst. And the Makeover one follows in second place for keeping me in a loop..Version: 5.6.42
✓ Ads freeze and too much reliance on Greek letter cluesI’ve used this app for several years, and I’ve tended to have very positive thoughts about it. My only annoyance has historically been that the puzzles tend to rely too heavily on the clue ‘Greek Letter’ or ‘Greek vowel,’ or some variation. Seems like a lazy way to craft puzzle. Lately though, the ads have been very problematic. After having watched them, they freeze, and you can’t get back to the puzzle. Ultimately, I need to close out the app, but then when I reopen, I have to watch the ad again, and it freezes again. BLAH.Version: 5.6.14
✓ Great but way to many and too long of an adGreat but way to many and too long of an ad.Version: 5.6.61
✓ AdsAds are extremely intrusive and sometimes, we’ll probably mostly, are impossible to stop. The most frustrating app I’ve ever used..Version: 5.6.42
✓ I’ve really tried to understandI’ve been playing this crossword for a pretty good while. And I understand that providing a free game is costly and revenue has to come in. So they do this by providing a space for ads. Totally got it. However, there are a few apps out there (this being one of them) that has turned horrible. You can not exit the ads. No way. It turns what used to be a pleasant way to waste time into a frigging battle with the stupid app and the stupid ads. I would not recommend this to anybody. I’ve even gone so far as enduring this for a long time. No more. App is deleted and review is submitted!!.Version: 5.6.41
✓ OkayThis is fun but some of the clues are a bit dodgy - it helps when they give you an alternative but sometimes it's easier to work out the words around the blanks. Fairly easy to follow..Version: 3.0.0
✓ Used to love itI used to love the app. Been doing it for years. But now they have a dangerous ad in the app. I don’t know why anyone would put a dangerous ad like "Outbrain" on their app. I know they need ads to support their app. But at the cost to their app users??? The ad comes in 2 parts. It comes up with questionable links. The X to click the ad away is hard to click and generally takes you to a questionable "click bait" link. When you finally get away from the questionable link and get back to the game, part 2 of the ad comes up and you try and click that X and the same thing happens! I don’t get how these ads are allowed on games. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬.Version: 5.6.60
✓ Recyclable and ReusableNot very happy with this one. It appears PD have taken much OLDER crossword from the past and made a few current amendments and wallah and there you have it an old made new. Except most of the time, the new from old is very far stretch and not a very good puzzle. Honestly, i scratch my head sometimes with the answers they come up with. It’s almost as if they are trying to make a square fit into a circle. C’mon…. Plus it would be great if the developers could make the orientation horizontal for IPAD users with Magic Keyboards. And one last thing, for frequent air travelers, like myself, it would be nice to be able to download all three crosswords to play while in Airplane Mode. ***** PLEASE UPDATE *****.Version: 5.6.63
✓ Aggressive adsYour ads are getting longer and more aggressive to get rid of. Don’t push it ! You’re not the only crossword app available..Version: 5.6.43
✓ Freezes while loading!I have had to re-download this app over and over again as it will show the little loading circle and does not stop, even if I leave it alone for a day!!! If I didn’t like this app I would have changed apps long ago. Please fix this! I do like having 3 levels of puzzles to do each day and it is nice having the library of puzzles as well. I also like the option of showing mistakes without paying. The very long ads are somewhat annoying, but I’ll put up with them if you fix this bug soon!.Version: 5.5.2
