Really good app

Enjoyable

This is a very fun way to play competitive crosswords. My only complaint is that the notifications to tell you that it’s your turn stopped after the first day. I’ve doubled checked all my settings, and nothing seems to make the notifications work. Otherwise, lots of fun!

Why 48 hours?

I really like this game, however I’ve lost count of the number of games that have been fortified because someone didn’t play back within 48 hours. Why not give the option to force the forfeit or give another 48 hours? I just feel this option would make this very good game a 5 star game.

Beware of Peter!!

There are two guys that write these crosswords, Mark and Peter. Mark’s puzzles are fun, but Peter’s are full of obscure clues that only Peter and his mom know the answers to. It seriously takes the fun out of the game. Also a LOT of ads, but you can just close the app and they disappear. We demand more Mark puzzles, Peter needs to go play Sudoku or something.

Way too many ads

I had to remove the app and find another. While I understand there is a need for the ads, it’s not worth making two moves and then having to watch for such a long ad. Sorry!
