### 5/5 — Great game with a helpful challenge!

*2014-06-09, version 1.0*

I hate crosswords because, lets be honest, they make me feel dumb. Being able to play with a friend makes crosswords actually very fun. 

Great game! Would absolutely recommend it!

### 5/5 — Crossword Connect Great App!

*2014-06-08, version 1.0*

Really enjoying this new crossword app. Fun and easy to play.

### 5/5 — 4 Across: a popular word game that's an awesome app

*2014-06-07, version 1.0*

I'm addicted! At first I didn't think I'd like doing crosswords on my phone - I really like old school pen and paper. But I was surprised how intuitive this app was and it's fun to fill out as much as I feel like and work collaboratively with someone else.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2014-06-07, version 1.0*

Tons of puzzle choices. Great way to work on crosswords with friends near and far. Love it!

### 5/5 — Two is better than one

*2014-06-04, version 1.0*

I love doing the puzzles with my wife (because she's wicked smart)

### 5/5 — Crossword Connect

*2014-06-02, version 1.0*

### 5/5 — best crossword multiplayer game

*2014-05-31, version 1.0*

this game puts the fun in crossword puzzles.

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2014-05-30, version 1.0*

I am TERRIBLE at crosswords but this app is awesome: 1) it's super easy to use 2) it's a new way to do crosswords that looks great on my phone 3) it's fun. I love that I can pick different levels so I don't feel like a complete idiot trying to do the crosswords. I'm sure it's even more fun for those who are not as crossword challenged! Enjoy!

### 5/5 — Makes crosswords fun again

*2014-05-30, version 1.0*

I like how this game makes crosswords social, while not making it competitive. It's a lot more fun to play together!

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2014-05-29, version 1.0*

Good way to pass the time. Familiar and casual.

### 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.

### 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!

### 4/5 — Crossword connect

*2014-07-31, version 1.0.2*

Enjoy the many choices of games
Enjoy the chance to see wrong words, hints are appreciated. Wish there was a chat area to send messages to partner players.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2014-07-10, version 1.0.1*

I love the way you can get plenty of coins for doing solo puzzles. And how you can get a random partner. The puzzles are fun and challenging.

The biggest problem I have is partners not responding. I wish there was a way, after a set number of days or something, to have the option to finish solo, or invite another partner in.

It would also be fun to have a way to leave messages to your partner

### 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.

### 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!

### 5/5 — Thanks!

*2014-08-18, version 1.0.2*

Love the puzzles!

### 5/5 — Fun

*2014-08-08, version 1.0.2*

Fun fun fun

### 5/5 — Must fun and playable iPhone Xword!

*2014-06-23, version 1.0.1*

I've tried many, but this one has features that keep me coming back for more. The magnification function works smoothly and intuitively. They have some good puzzle writers f the more advanced puzzler and the play with friends option even slows you down so your partner has a chance to contribute.

### 5/5 — Fun puzzle sharing

*2014-06-15, version 1.0*

Great crossword game, very smooth experience. Just like sharing the Sunday paper except can do it any time, anywhere.  Fun!

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2014-06-11, version 1.0*

This is a great app- easy and fun to use.   I love being able to do the puzzle with a friend.  I really like that there are different levels to choose from with lots of puzzles in each level.  Nice new game to add to my puzzling repertoire.  Thumbs up!
