App needs work.

UPDATE: I haven’t played this app in a few months and I noticed that they’re still not a way to skip completed letters or words. I did send an email to the app owners to see if this is possibly going to be fixed in the future. I’m sure you’re with me in that it’s very cumbersome to have to go over words and letters already completed.

ORIGINAL POST: I like this app, but it lacks many of the basic features that other crossword apps have. It doesn’t skip completed letters or words making it hard to complete the puzzles without creating errors on words or clues you have already completed. I don’t play as often due to this. In fact, the app was inactive and when I played it again, I knew why I rarely played it. Please fix these problems. Your app will improve greatly.

Be prepared to pay up

Using the free app with all of the advertisements is aggravating. After completing the puzzle, there’s no indication you’re complete. And if you have an error, you have to pay to have the error identified. So you think you’ve solved the puzzle and you’re left hanging. Not a good experience.

Well designed

Good app

Classic Crossword Puzzle

Like the puzzles but not the ads for other games!

Ads won't close

Unusable. Tik Tok ad close button does not work so cannot do puzzle.

The best crossword game

Great range of crosswords, I just wish there were more free puzzle updates as well as the daily crossword

Great app but…

This is a great crossword app but a couple things that actually really bothersome. First when you use coins to see something wrong then leave the puzzle and come back you have to rebuy it.
The other problem I’m having is the in-progress tab. Completed puzzles are still in the section they don’t move to completed puzzles and I usually do packs so I can’t even try the other puzzles in the pack. I’ve started packs but can’t finish them because it only shows the last completed one and have no option to see the incomplete puzzles I had yet to start.
I do really like the app I play it quite often but would play it more if those were remedied.

Playable issues

I’m a big crossword player looking for a new app. It’s disappointing you have to pay coins to see errors and you can change settings for auto move to next word. I don’t mind paying 20$ a year for a good app but there are plenty other apps that have a flat rate

Forced ads

You get zero stars. As soon as you open the app up you are bombarded with adds and forced to choose allow for the app to force personalized ads there is no DECLINE option. Garbage app and same can be said for the ones who made it and force you to only accept ads there is no opt out AS THERE SHOULD BE.

Nice

Challenge

Fun

Great game. Fun to play.

Hate this

Paying constantly. Boo

Obnoxious ads

Adds come on and just sit there showing some picture I don’t want to see

Error

Today’s puzzle May 8/25 has an error. The word Britain is spelled wrong making the “down” words both wrong (pirsnip and tshart), and causing me to use the “see wrong” option when I actually didn’t have any errors. It has now happened two days in a row May 9/25 also. Each time I have had to waste a “see wrong” only to see that I was right and the puzzle was wrong. Todays incorrect word is “pliant” the puzzle has it as “plaint” For the third day in a row the puzzle is incorrect today May 10, 9 across/13 down the answers for “laugh at & stew” should be “scoff & fret” not “scofe & eret.

May 14/25
Another error on your part. Bottom left corner the clue is “rob”, you have the answer as ”strea” making the 3 “down words”, as well as steal all incorrect. I’m really getting annoyed at having to use the “see wrong” option and losing points, only to see that I didn’t have any wrong.

Fun but glitchy

I have completed several puzzles that say “In progress” and even gone back to use coins to show mistakes, and there are no mistakes but I’m out 150 coins.

Invasive.

Multiple pop-ups immediately after opening game.

Ads instantly upon selecting the daily crossword.

I downloaded the app. Opened it. And in under 5 seconds it gives me a pop up telling me to accept personalized ads. Another popup saying to buy coins, and another to buy packs/remove ads or whatevs. Then got an ad instantly after clicking the daily crossword. I bet if I continued for another 5 seconds the ad count would’ve reached the double digits. I strongly don’t recommend.

Good challenge

Good challenging puzzles but I wish there was more than one a day.

Relaxing

Enjoying these puzzles. They are challenging and fun

Weird clues

Apart from the constant AI ads, the clues are getting to be too much for me to keep this app. Why have I answered Israel for 5 clues? There have hardly been any other countries referenced in what I've played (let alone countries committing gen0c1de). There are KKK references in some clues and my breaking point was "Diarist" Frank for the word ANNE. There doesn't seem to be any thought going into the puzzles and I think you need to start doing some serious review of these puzzles before publishing.
