### 3/5 — App update needed.

*2017-10-08, version 1.2*

Enjoy using this app; however, an update is needed for it to work with/on iOS11.  Thank you.

### 4/5 — Great fun

*2016-12-16, version 1.2*

This game is very enjoyable.  However, recently it has been showing a message about slowing down your device.  I did notice it's been a long time since an update.  I'm guessing that the developer has stopped supporting the app, which is sad.

### 3/5 — Stuck

*2016-04-30, version 1.2*

I really like this game. It's good to exercise your brain, playing against your previous score. It is addictive too but mine has frozen when my score approached 100,000. So now I'm frustrated because it won't open past the first page and cannot connect to app support.

### 3/5 — TURN OFF THE INTRO!

*2016-02-25, version 1.2*

I like the game, but the ridiculous intro music is enough to keep me from playing it in public. Does anyone know how to turn it off? I'm not referring to the sound in the game, but the start-up music.

### 3/5 — Clueless Crossword Party

*2015-07-18, version 1.2*

I am addicted to this game but in the last week it has stopped functioning. I can't only play one game or maybe two in a row. Then it dies. If I'm lucky I can close and reopen. But rarely does it work. What's up?

### 3/5 — GAME FREQUENTLY FREEZES

*2015-06-07, version 1.2*

I love playing this game; HOWEVER, it's extremely frustrating, when you've played for a while, attaining a pretty high level of success, only to have the game suddenly freeze up on you. 

Sometimes it freezes, turning the entire screen to a darker, and unresponsive, tone. 

Quitting the app doesn't help.  Only occasionally, have I been able to restore the game to its previous functional state by turning the phone completely off, and back on again.

More recently the game has frozen without darkening the screen. When this happens, the background game music continues to play, but the screen remains entirely unresponsive to touch.

The only way out of this one, is to delete the game from the phone, entirely, and reinstall it.

Of course, deleting the game from the phone results in loosing all the progress you've made.  You have to start, once again, from the beginning. 

I tried to report this software bug to the developer, using the App Store's provided link to their website.  The link only results in the following message: "Safari cannot open the page because the server cannot be found".

### 3/5 — Opening sound

*2015-03-28, version 1.2*

I like this app. No problem with it except the opening sound that is like a roar. I play games when I am waiting in restaurants and doctor's offices, etc. I don't want to turn down my phone volume so as not to hear it because I may forget to turn it back up. I always mute sounds on all of my game apps. Why isn't there an option for this here??? Please give this option. Because I despise the opening sound so much, I am giving it a 3.

### 4/5 — Crossword Party

*2014-09-01, version 1.2*

****This is my first time playing this game. I enjoy it a lot & will continue to play it. I like the challenges I face playing this crossword game. I play Scrabble every day. I will add this to my daily list to play. I gave it 4 stars.

### 4/5 — Addicting but fatally flawed

*2014-02-05, version 1.2*

This used to be my favorite addicting game, but I have had the same problem as Amekir and Bbboss Sue in previous reviews:  once my score gets into the 90's, either the next game refuses to load or I just get a black screen.  Before this started happening I would have given a 5 star rating.  There is no way to contact the developer for help.  Is this their way to prevent you from climbing to the top of the leaderboards?  Otherwise fun game to pass the time.

### 3/5 — Enjoy!

*2014-02-02, version 1.2*

I truly love playing this. However, lately it is not opening and/or will quit in the middle of the game.  I hope it can be fixed. Thank you!

### 2/5 — Stopped working

*2014-02-01, version 1.2*

I've had the app for about 6 weeks, and now it's stopped working. When it gets to the screen where I select game mode, it freezes on that screen. I tried to report to app support but server could not be found.

### 4/5 — Fun but annoying

*2014-01-19, version 1.2*

This is a good game but many times it registers my button presses incorrectly, costing me points which can be frustrating. Also sometimes leaves me uncertain as to whether a word is right or wrong (iPod 5). Also wish there was a landscape orientation for iPad.

### 5/5 — Crossword fun

*2013-12-12, version 1.2*

Great game. Love the bubble sound when letters are placed within boxes. Relaxing yet addictive.

### 1/5 — crossword

*2017-11-29, version 1.2*

I think game is awesome. I play as often as I can. I have one request is when inputting last letter can you let us review the crossword before bringing the next puzzle title. Thanks
PLEASE UPDATE! PLEASE UPDATE!

### 1/5 — Getting annoyed now

*2014-03-23, version 1.2*

HAS LOCKED UP AGAIN! Fourth time!  Annoying because I enjoy playing this but I have to keep removing it from the ipad and reloading which loses your scores.

### 1/5 — freezes

*2013-12-22, version 1.2*

I love this game and I played it a lot but for the past few days the app has been freezing every time I've opened it. it's stuck on the main menu

### 1/5 — would be great but...

*2013-12-21, version 1.2*

Game is great but as others have said it does not react well to my touch causing loss of points and lots of frustration. FIX IT SO IT WORKS AT THE FIRST TOUCH.

### 1/5 — Fail

*2013-09-27, version 1.2*

Love the game but it fails to load in iOS7 :-(

### 1/5 — Froze

*2013-07-15, version 1.2*

It was great fun until the app froze. I tried turning my Ipad off and back on but the app remains frozen.

July 15 Update, reinstalled app, played well for a few weeks and now is frozen AGAIN. I really like this game when it is working.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2012-12-14, version 1.2*

Lots of short words not in common use such as 'EMM'. Music is boring and is better with the volume turned down

### 2/5 — Clueless in the App Store.

*2017-07-29, version 1.2*

Great game, however, it is time for an update folks. iOS 11  is coming!

### 2/5 — Love it but...

*2016-12-24, version 1.2*

I've been playing for a couple years but it stopped working! It opens but I can't start a game now. Nothing happens when I try to select a new game. :-(

### 2/5 — Almost there

*2014-09-23, version 1.2*

Scoring is inconsistent, no where does it explain the scoring rubric.  Keys don't always register.
In silent mode there needs to be better indication that a chosen letter is incorrect.

I've also now run into the same issue as others.  Game is frozen as my score is in the 90's so can no longer play.  I have to downgrade a star.

Fix these and it's a five star game.

### 5/5 — Best clueless crossword ever!

*2017-07-16, version 1.2*

.

### 5/5 — Love game, but.....

*2017-06-23, version 1.2*

Please update!

### 5/5 — Unique

*2017-04-15, version 1.2*

This is a very different game from the norm. It makes you think before you choose, loosing points for a wrong choice is not good. Enjoyable.

My screen went black, sound gone, no prompts, nobody to contact.  Tried re-installing, no go.  So I'll delete it.  Sorry to see it go but if no support won't bother anymore.

Okay so now it's back.  I've lost my high score, 94,000, I'm starting out at 3,100.  Bother!

Apple is telling me that if your company doesn't upgrade this game it will be inoperable on their OS, probably by next fall.  I really liked your game it was so different, kept me coming back every day for a long time.  

I understand that every company and/or creator comes to a time when it goes on a different path, and if this is your decision I wish everyone associated with your company all the best going forward.  I will miss the daily challenge.

### 5/5 — Fun Game!

*2015-06-06, version 1.2*

It is fun and addicting! I love crosswords and this is a new spin. I have not had any trouble with the touchscreen or the game being slow to react when I touch letters. I am using an iPhone 5

### 5/5 — New Favorite

*2014-04-04, version 1.2*

Wow! I really like this app. I've only played it a couple of days, but it is already one of my favorites.

### 5/5 — It is just fun

*2014-04-01, version 1.2*

I play it before I sleep or when I wake up in the middle of the night n can't get the brain to turn off n sleep. 2-3 games n I sleep like a baby. I truly enjoy the decision process n have learned to move somewhat slowly n only put a letter in a square until I have at least two words that the letter work. Of course that does not always work either but there is no pressure. I don't do the timed puzzle because this is supposed to be relaxing n fun. My best score is around 3800 but do not know or care how it compares. 
Good job women n men who created this puzzle. Thank you n u get my vote for best puzzle n appt

### 5/5 — Great word game!

*2014-03-30, version 1.2*

I don't know what it is about this game, but I love it. It has a great look, is laid back, challenging but never frustrating. It's a perfect word game. So much fun. Great for relieving stress. I play it nearly every day.
