It’s so annoying to have to deliberately spell something wrong to get it ‘right’ on this app! Gave up and deleted. ### 3/5 — Keeps freezing *2019-11-02, version 2.1* Really like the format ads are annoying, but agree with previous reviewer some letters sit adjacent and don’t form a word. Almost complete and the ads freeze the screen so have to start over ### 4/5 — Paid 2 times for update did not receive *2019-04-10, version 2.1* Would like to get the additionl puzzles I paid apple for twice ### 3/5 — An okay Crossword app, but by no means great! *2019-02-17, version 2.1* Some of the clues are a little bit questionable, but the real disappointment for me is the fact that there often appear two adjacent letters in the grid, which do not have clues and do not form words. However an enjoyable app, If you make allowances for these deficiencies. ### 3/5 — Okay *2019-01-07, version 2.1* The easy puzzles are not exactly what I would deem easy. And it’s annoying if you have one answer incorrect as it does not give you any idea which answer it is. ### 4/5 — Best crossword game *2018-02-25, version 2.1* I definitely recommend this game. The easy level is a good way to get started, not too hard but not too easy either. I’m looking forward to continue to learn with these puzzles!! One suggestion if you can keep the “reveal” or mark error as a button in front instead of going to menu all the time. Allow for players to set up showing the errors ### 3/5 — Not wonderful *2017-06-30, version 2.1* Not very well thought out ### 5/5 — Player *2017-06-08, version 2.1* Very good gams, challenging at times ### 4/5 — Love it *2017-06-08, version 2.1* I agree with Annie 192, the only improvement is for all the connected letters to be words. Otherwise it's a great app ### 4/5 — Does what it says on the tin *2017-05-29, version 2.1* Good fun crossword app but only 10 puzzles per level (3 levels only) ### 4/5 — A good starter. *2017-05-22, version 2.1* Some American spellings and meanings but it's ok. ### 4/5 — I like it *2017-05-15, version 2.1* My favourite type of crossword, the only way to improve on it would be to make all connecting letters actually be answers to clues. ### 3/5 — Crossword *2017-05-11, version 2.1* Fun app. Easy is a bit hard ### 4/5 — Anne *2017-05-10, version 2.1* Challenging ### 4/5 — Mr *2017-05-09, version 2.1* Most enjoyable and challenging ### 5/5 — Great! *2017-05-08, version 2.1* Fun app, a bonus to be able to check letters and words. ### 5/5 — Words words words *2017-04-30, version 2.1* Just the thing to get the grey matter going. Several levels to start you off from easy-pesy to brain cudgelling. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Clean Crossword Puzzles *2023-01-18, version 6.0* Older version of clean crossword puzzles suited me better. Not much on this newer version so going to delete this app. ### 1/5 — Closes automatically *2017-10-16, version 2.1* If you choose to solve the last letter, then the puzzle will solve before you can see the letter!! Has this been tested? ### 1/5 — Horrible *2017-09-06, version 2.1* The layout of the clues is annoying, some of the clues are just poor/lazy attempts ("...-utan, ape" is orangutan), and some of the answers aren't even correct words. ("Laughing animal" is hyena, not hyaena. "Owing money" is "in debt", not "in dept", yet this is what the puzzle says is correct. Horrible game ### 1/5 — Horrible *2017-04-18, version 2.1* Kicks off before solving ### 1/5 — Buyers Remorse *2016-11-29, version 2.0* Sorry I purchased this app. Should have had a warning label "Brits Only"! Format is too confusing. DELETE. ### 1/5 — Delete *2016-10-07, version 2.0* Bizarre answers to clues. Many answers are really a stretch, like it MIGHT be listed as the 10th definition in a dictionary. If you don't mind pressing the Solve Word button, then this is for you. ### 1/5 — Toffeefan *2016-10-01, version 2.0* I had completed the easy free ones and also the next range and was nearing the end of the difficult ones. I decided to purchase some more and chose 25 of the easy ones at £1.49 only to find that the first one up is one of the free ones which I have already completed. I think if that is the case we should have been told because I certainly don't want to have to repeat the first 10 puzzles to get to some new ones. Very disappointed and am new to this and so far had been throughly enjoying myself. ### 1/5 — Won't let me play! *2016-06-28, version 2.0* Im using iPad mini 2... Allows me to get to the screen that says play, but wont allow me to click on anything in order to actually start doing so. Uninstalled. ### 1/5 — Can't Believe This👎🏻🙀 *2016-02-03, version 2.0* This is one of the worst apps I have ever seen in my life. It's so confusing, even on easy. It doesn't tell you what word you need to write, AND, you don't know where to put it! There's no list, not even across and down!!!!! Wherever this app came from, DO NOT GET IT. IT'S HORRIBLE.👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 ### 1/5 — Not current *2015-09-30, version 1.2* Needs updating...don't get. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game *2023-11-07, version 6.1* I love that this game makes me think and if I don’t know it makes me look for the answers ### 5/5 — Great crossword *2022-03-19, version 4.1* Love this game. Very easy to pass hours with ### 5/5 — Great App *2021-11-05, version 4.1* Love this Crossword App. Just excellent. Variety of clues, has help if you need it. Really enjoyable. ### 5/5 — Crossword *2021-03-08, version 4.1* Very enjoyable ### 5/5 — Need more puzzles *2020-08-08, version 4.0* Love these crosswords but they ran out of puzzles. ### 5/5 — Great fun! *2018-01-09, version 2.1* Very addictive - I want more! ### 5/5 — Great Fun *2017-10-14, version 2.1* Fun alternative to typical crossword puzzles. Options are well organized making this puzzle easy to maneuver. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Great crosswords! *2017-06-22, version 2.1* They are all wonderful no matter what the level. The presentation is great and they are very relaxing! If it wasn't for housework, (ugly 4-letter word), could enjoy it longer. I highly recommend them. ### 5/5 — Great for the grey cells *2017-06-11, version 2.1* Thank you for an entertaining crossword ap. it's easy to follow and has several levels, great for when you want a quick and easy puzzle, but even better when you want a challenge ### 5/5 — Good to do with a couple of people *2017-06-11, version 2.1* Found this whilst on holiday, this is my first crossword on ipad and really like this as much easier to try words out in a grid compared to pen and paper. As with a previous review American spelling is sometimes frustrating in what appears to be an English product. Also there are quite a few repeated questions across the 30 trial pack which makes you wonder about purchasing the app but I will most likely purchase additional puzzles --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
