### 2/5 — Like the game but fix the bugs!

*2025-08-10, version 5.41*

This game is not being updated!

### 4/5 — Crooword hd

*2022-07-13, version 5.41*

Great game . Play every day. New version still has bugs . Shuts down every three min or so. I am sure a fix is coming Ads are interfering with the game making it lock up or slow down . Shutting off the wi Fi fixes the problem . Now the game is unplayable when connected to the internet.To busy downloading ads for things I don’t want It still locks up on anew computer

### 3/5 — LRMSSR

*2018-11-23, version 5.41*

Continues to crash!😒

### 4/5 — Fun game!

*2017-10-03, version 5.26*

Very enjoyable game. Sometimes shuts down which is a problem

### 3/5 — Crossword Pro

*2017-07-07, version 5.26*

Last version was superior . This one crashes frequently ,is very slow and the options do not work

### 2/5 — Crossword

*2017-04-07*

I have a negative coin balance of over 4 million which means I no longer can enjoy the game as much as before. With a daily bonus of only 100 coins means that I will never will get this into a positive situation. Please can this soft wear issue be corrected ASAP.  I can only give a low rating at present.

Update, noticed a credit of 4 million but it never changed my negative balance. Also the daily coins earned do not update the balance, however when playing I have noticed that any earnings do update. Most frustrating, you are close to loosing a customer.

23 Rd August 2016
I currently have a negative balance of over 31 million, please can this be rectified so I can 
continue enjoy playing. Thank you Robyn 45

Still waiting for the correction of the negative balance........
7th April 2017
I  enjoy having 3 options of the daily games, would like to have the ability to use the coins earned in this area. Also would like to see my score once the game has been completed. Today I completed game 2 under an hour but my name is not showing in on the listing even though some with completion time of over an hour are.

### 4/5 — Big changes

*2017-04-05, version 5.24*

New version is lots of fun and very challenging. I like all the changes. Only flaw is it locks sometimes when I play a video to reveal 10 letters

### 4/5 — Think like an Englishman

*2017-01-16, version 5.2*

I like to play, but sometimes the clues are British-related and I won't guess them correctly unless I think like an Englishman!  Good guess, gov'na!

### 4/5 — Good times

*2016-10-02, version 5.2*

Hours of fun

### 4/5 — No updates

*2016-03-22, version 5.2*

Leader board not updating since November

### 4/5 — Great crossword

*2015-10-12, version 5.2*

This app is fun. I love the web search option within the game if you are stuck. However, I got the clue small cake, 7 letters. I did a web search and after going to several different sites, I finally gave in and "bought" a couple letters to discover the answer was biscuit! Really that is no cake I ever saw

### 5/5 — Love it.

*2015-09-24, version 5.2*

It is the only crossword app I have now. Deleted the rest. 😀👍

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Freezes

*2023-01-09, version 5.41*

Game freezes

### 1/5 — Woeful

*2022-08-15, version 5.41*

Since apparent upgrade keeps saying. Server disconnected. Server connected.  Every few seconds. I can only play daily game. Not happy !

### 1/5 — Steve

*2018-05-28, version 5.39*

Sound for the letters does not work.  The game keeps dropping out. The time on the games is not stopping or correct.  The game hesitates a lot.

### 1/5 — Bounces out   Frustrating

*2018-05-26, version 5.39*

Ugh.

### 1/5 — Bamagirl

*2018-02-24, version 5.29*

Just down loaded new update on 1/14/18, they took ALL my credits away. Also, the keyboard has been enlarged too big and when when you complete a word, they don’t give you credits anymore! Keeps knocking me offline! Beware don’t download this game!

### 1/5 — Needs fixing

*2017-12-21, version 5.26*

When the Google phone video plays, the app freezes up and must be re-booted.  Other than that, this app is great!

### 1/5 — New update is terrible!

*2017-03-11, version 5.23*

The new update makes it so that when you click 'next,' it jumps around sporadically. You don't earn as many coins in this version, and they did away with the daily bonus.

### 1/5 — DON'T PURCHASE AD REMOVAL

*2016-10-20, version 5.2*

I like these crossword games, but I paid $19.99 for the ad-removal feature several months ago.. the ads were removed but it also distorted the display so badly I was unable to continue to use the app.  I  wrote Boathouse Games on two separate occasions and have yet to receive  a response to my emails.

### 1/5 — Doesn't stay "available"

*2015-01-12, version 2.6*

Game has gotten better, however, it stops loading for whatever reason and goes back to my home screen. So, MAYBE I can play for a day or so, but then it won't load the next day. So I have deleted it.

### 1/5 — Still crashing on start up

*2014-12-25, version 2.6*

Still crashing on start up
