  • Love it - worth the $4!

    The price was a bit off-putting, but I consider it 4 bucks well spent. I even bought the additional books. Am now waiting on the next addition. Hurry up guys! :)
  • LOVE THE APP ... BUT All out of puzzles

    I have worked through all of the Books, Headlines, Aerocrostics and am now sinking into depression because there are no more to be had.

    Seriously.

    Please tell me there will be more to buy and download soon.
  • Crostix

    Well worth playing for the full version. It contains enough puzzles to keep you entertained for a long time. A very small number of the clues have answers that are region-specific & unfamiliar to a lot of people, but that's the fun of acrostics — you can work backwards to figure out the answer. The split-screen layout is adjustable, and it's so easy to keep track of where you are within both the clue and the quote. I truly love this app!

  • App updates but no new puzzles

    This is one of my favorite apps. It eliminates the drudgery and inevitable mistakes of copying between clues and quotes and leaves the pure fun of solving. I have a few quibbles but I will defer them till the major problem is solved. We need WAY more puzzles! These guys need to team up with a company like Penny Press which publishes hundreds of a acrostics every year. As it stands I buy new puzzles as they become available, solve them all in a few day, and wait months for more.

  • misspelling

    I love this app but I have to point out something that was frustrating. in book 5, puzzle 'tornado', there is a misspelling in the quote. I don't want to give anything away. it made solving the puzzle frustrating
  • Best Puzzle App

    Sharon creates very challenging puzzles which make them all the more enjoyable to solve. Frakes' puzzles are much easier but still enjoyable. Thanks Sharon, keep up the good work amd keep the challenging puzzles coming.
  • crostic fun

    These are good puzzles, easy to keep track of, and plentiful though I may go through them too fast. They showed up in my "library" in ibook or iread or whatever the reading app is.
  • About The New Book

    Hi, all. It's Brian, the developer. It looks like I set up the application so that it only checks for new puzzles every 30 days, so even though you have upgraded, and the puzzles are there in the application, it doesn't realize it. Yes, that's pretty stupid, I know. Sorry about that. I will fix this problem in the next update, but in the meantime the book should magically show up in the Library list within 30 days, or you can remove and reinstall the application on your device, although that will cause Crostix to forget where you are in the puzzles. Again, sorry for not having foreseen this problem, and thanks for playing Crostix.

  • More Puzzles, Please!

    This is easily my favorite game, but I'm getting close to the end of the list. I've already purchased Book 4, but I hope someone is working on Book 5 (and 6, and 7, and 8, and .…).
  • Well done!

    I like crostics in the newspaper, but you end up spending so much time transferring letters from the clues to the quote and vice versa. This does it automatically, so you can spend your time on the fun part - the solving. This app's clean, well-designed interface makes it easy to use, though the puzzles aren't easy to solve...
