### 1/5 — Quit Working

*2024-05-28*

I have enjoyed the crossword puzzle but it has stopped working. The only way I can make it work is the delete it and redownload it. This is not acceptable!!!!  Please fix what ever it needs to work!!!  Not a happy person!!!  I am thinking about not using it any more.

### 1/5 — Advertising

*2023-11-16*

Nov 15, 2023 
Hello I have an iPhone. I've done these puzzles for years suddenly there is advertising in the upper left corner which covers a 1/4 of the puzzle so I cannot complete the puzzle nor move onto the next one. I downloaded the app it still happens when I want to do more puzzles. I really am displeased about this. Thank you.

### 2/5 — Problem

*2023-11-17*

I love this game but Google has started putting ads on it that covers part of the puzzle. Terrible!!!!

### 2/5 — New puzzles don't load

*2017-08-10*

There seems to be a "new puzzle" button missing on the iPad app. In order to get a new puzzle, I have to close the app and wait several hours or more. WTH?!

**Developer response:** Version 2.0 fixes this. There's a "New Puzzle" button when appropriate now, and the "More Free Crosswords" button doesn't go away now if the app is closed.  One of those two buttons is always displayed now, as long as you've at least finished most of the current daily puzzle.

### 3/5 — I keep having to delete and reload app

*2025-03-18*

I truly love this crossword puzzle game but for the past 9 months it won’t advance to the next day. In order to play a new daily game I have to delete the app and reinstall. I probably do this 3-4 times a week. Please fix it.

### 3/5 — Skip letters already filled

*2024-08-31*

I guess I have the same problem, that other people have had in the past years , can’t you keep this up-to-date. Yes I’m talking about when you go to fill in a word , when there is a space already filled ,skip that. Otherwise it’s a good game.

### 3/5 — App Not working Sometimes

*2024-05-22*

I am having problems with the game not working. I open it and it still has the game from yesterday or it just while not work. I have enjoyed the crossword game and wish it would work. I have looked for an update and found nothing.  Help!!!

### 3/5 — Boatload crosswords

*2020-12-01*

Way too easy.

### 4/5 — Quit working

*2023-01-16*

I like the puzzles, but for the last several days, it has stopped working. It just won’t load up. When I click on it to start the app, my screen remains blank.

### 5/5 — Crosswords

*2024-03-28*

I have been using Boatload of Crossword Puzzles for years and I love them. I’ve never had any problems with the app and I play every day.

### 5/5 — Excellent update!

*2020-06-29*

Thank you, thank you! You have just eliminated my pet peeve by now skipping the completed letters! Much better. And I appreciate the small amount of memory it uses. Keep it up!

### 4/5 — Problem with puzzle

*2020-05-02*

I play this several times a day.  Starting today, the program will accept any letter in any box. OOPS!

Please fix this issue.  You can test puzzle #38001.

Thanks...

**Developer response:** You must have unintentionally used the "Hide Errors" button. To go back to indicating incorrect letters in red, use the "Show Errors" button.
