Thanks. ### 4/5 — fun *2026-08-24, version 5.0.9* fun ### 2/5 — Every morning *2026-08-19, version 5.0.8* I do my crosswords every morning with my tea or coffee. Love it when there is a new category to work on! The new update has bugs and has diminished my enjoyment so that I am thinking of finding a new crossword game. The old game maneuverability was clunky, but much better than now. ### 2/5 — Error marks hard to see *2026-08-16, version 5.0.8* I’m 82 and enjoying this app until you changed format. My main objection is that the red cross line for errors needs to be more bold or a vivid color. I should think that this may be an easy fix. Thank you ### 3/5 — Please restore previous version *2026-08-14, version 5.0.8* This version is harder to play. The crossword is smaller. There are no colors. Please go back to the previous version. ### 4/5 — Learning *2026-08-13, version 5.0.7* I am enjoying playing this daily crossword. I am learning new words all the time. Also, having fun trying to remember all of the songs, movies, authors, etc. Good for the brain! ### 4/5 — Enjoying this app *2026-08-03, version 5.0.7* I do one or occasionally two crosswords a day which makes this an expensive app but it does work well and offers a good variety of puzzles. I am in the UK but don’t find it overwhelmingly American. ### 3/5 — So so *2026-08-03, version 5.0.7* The only thing I can do without paying is the mini. ### 4/5 — 👍 *2026-08-02, version 5.0.7* 👍 ### 4/5 — I like it *2026-07-28, version 5.0.7* I’m new to this, but I’m having a lot of fun with the puzzles so far. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Puzzles *2026-07-26, version 5.0.7* This app is honestly, so much fun, I’d highly encourage you to check it out! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-07-26, version 5.0.7* I do Crossword+ every day and really enjoy it! ### 5/5 — I play every day *2026-07-15, version 5.0.7* I am happy to tell you that I have a two puzzle per day habit. It keeps the mind moving. Super for retired people like me. ### 5/5 — So much fun! *2026-07-15, version 5.0.7* I decided to start playing Crosswords to improve brain health and stave off memory loss, and I’ve had a really good time despite not having done many crosswords before. Very easy to use and fun to play. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Change for no reason *2026-08-22, version 5.0.9* What on earth made you mess with a perfectly good layout for this hard and awkward new style is beyond me. I will no longer be able to enjoy my favourite part of the morning. Thankyou for listening, much easier to use now. ### 1/5 — Change for no reason *2026-08-17* What on earth made you mess with a perfectly good layout for this hard and awkward new style is beyond me. I will no longer be able to enjoy my favourite part of the morning ### 1/5 — New format *2026-08-16, version 5.0.8* New format is not enjoyable. Please return to previous version. For comfort Thanks ### 1/5 — Update is not good *2026-08-15, version 5.0.8* I tried to give feedback via the app, but there is a bug/ error message. The update you have done overnight is terrible. I have been doing the crosswords daily for weeks as I really enjoyed it, but today it was that bad I didn’t even finish one. It’s too complicated to explain and there is more than one issue. I will try again over the next few days but if it doesn’t improve I will delete it ### 1/5 — Sucks! *2026-08-13, version 5.0.8* I enjoyed this app until the most recent changes that I saw for the first time today. It’s no longer fun, and I’ve cancelled my subscription. ### 1/5 — Your puzzles don’t *2026-06-05, version 5.0.4* Even for on my screen i literally pull the screen back like you say to do but they don’t fit on the screen ### 1/5 — gotta pay *2026-06-02, version 5.0.4* can do anything without paying ### 1/5 — Absolutely scammy. 0 stars *2026-03-03, version 4.9.9* Requesting refund ### 1/5 — AI *2026-02-18, version 4.9.9* Maybe that is an excuse - using fake words is never unacceptable ### 1/5 — Changes subscription *2026-01-16, version 4.9.6* Started charging for puzzles in the middle of a subscription. Not a trusted App ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-09-01, version 5.1.1* A lot of challenging puzzles but doable. Very relaxing way to end my day and fall asleep. ### 5/5 — Fun! *2026-08-29, version 5.1.0* I look forward to my daily challenge. ### 5/5 — New user here so far so good ENJOY *2026-08-24, version 5.0.9* Love these Quick puzzles. Been a solver for a long time Sort of reminds me of the Dell crossword magazines from my youth, without the paper waste ### 5/5 — I am so happy! *2026-08-22, version 5.0.9* Back to the prvious format which I loved! I enjoy immensely using this game. It's at the right level: challenging but not impossible. A lot of fun. ### 5/5 — Back to normal. Thank you! *2026-08-22, version 5.0.9* The latest revision putting the layout back is much better. Thanks for actually listening to our input. Once again my favorite puzzle game to play. ### 5/5 — Just Right *2026-08-13, version 5.0.8* Puzzles are easy enough but not too easy and not as ridiculously hard as the NYT crossword. I enjoy doing the daily and the mini every day. ### 5/5 — Very entertaining game *2026-08-09, version 5.0.7* Very entertaining game ### 5/5 — Crosswords at my level *2026-08-03, version 5.0.7* I do a crossword every day using Crossword+. The crosswords are fun to play, and just difficult enough to keep me interested. Before using Crosswod+, I never played crosswords. ### 5/5 — Puzzled *2026-07-27, version 5.0.7* Love the format. Wish they had more free puzzles available. Maybe consider ads? ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-07-26, version 5.0.7* Great App, enjoy playing! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
