### 4/5 — My review

*2022-02-20, version 1.1.2*

Absolutely love this app! It allows two people to complete a crossword collectively. Hopefully they will restock it with new puzzles soon, so I can continue to play it with my dad.

### 4/5 — Love it! But….

*2021-12-02, version 1.1.2*

We love this so much that we worked through all of the puzzles! Will there be more added?

### 4/5 — Simple but nice

*2021-04-29, version 1.1.2*

It’s a very simple app, but nice. I like collaborating with my mom, not competing. My only complaint (and reason for knocking one star) is that the puzzle initially doesn’t fit the phone screen, the bottom line is always cut off. It took me some time to determine a work around because I keep my screen locked all the time. However if I unlock the screen I rotate my phone to the side so the screen turns, and then turn it back, it will then fit the screen properly. Otherwise I love it.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2015-09-17, version 1.1*

It's a great app and it's exactly what one of my friends and I have been looking for but I wish it had a chat function built in so we could discuss clues and I wish there wasn't quite as much lag between her typing and me seeing it. Otherwise, great!

### 5/5 — Great ap

*2015-06-22, version 1.1*

Perfect for collaborative crosswords - doesn't send me spam and has a ton of different puzzles.

### 1/5 — No Thanks

*2015-03-15, version 1.1*

Was disappointed when I saw that single player puzzles cost coins. So am removing the app.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2014-10-23, version 1.1*

I love playing this app with my friends!

### 5/5 — Really fun

*2014-09-18, version 1.0.2*

I love crosswords but I love to play with others. So much fun to be able to play win others. Good time

### 5/5 — Great fun

*2014-09-18, version 1.0.2*

Being able to solve crosswords without hunching over together is great.

### 5/5 — Love the app

*2014-09-05, version 1.0.2*

But get frustrated when other players do not play!  Even after numerous nudges.  Still think I should have the option to finish the crossword without using coins if other player fails to do their part!
