Is someone happy about that? ### 3/5 — Good but still bugs *2025-08-18* The “file lines” still get in the way of reading some of the puzzle. Losing what’s been done on a partial puzzle if close is irritating. But NOW the constant “awarding points” may be generous but it gets in the way of doing the puzzle. FIX THE BUGS!!! ### 2/5 — Daily Reward Problem *2025-07-25, version 5.58* Every day the Daily Reward balloon drop appears multiple times in the easy puzzle. It is very annoying. Can someone stop it? Previously reported but no change! Does it do any good to report problems when no one fixes them? This was previously reported but nothing has been done to fix it! ### 2/5 — Daily Reward Problem *2025-06-28* Every day the Daily Reward balloon drop appears multiple times in the easy puzzle.

My only problem is it keeps kicking me out during the game. This happens several times a game. Very frustrating. If you could fix this problem it would be wonderful. Seems it started when you added the ads. Those can go too. Thank you. I still play this everyday and I love it. Why is the multi player option not paying rewards.? ### 5/5 — Boathouse Games Crossword Puzzle *2022-09-29, version 5.58* Puzzle is good but the App keeps crashing after the last few iOS updates. Now I cannot even open the App after the latest iOS update done on April 3, 2018. Too bad. ### 5/5 — Crossword Game *2018-12-03, version 5.58* I love this game, it is challenging, fun and relaxing. Just wish it would not black out and not let me watch a video for revealing a word😞 BUT at times it won’t reveal the word prompt ( black screen) but has sound. And when game completed and click ok it goes to black screen and does not give me my points earned when game is finished😱😱 Goes to blank screen when I click finish and try to collect my points.🤨 PLEASE FIZ. Thanks ### 5/5 — Crossword *2017-09-18, version 5.44* A fun crossword game anyone can do ### 5/5 — Great time filler *2017-05-15, version 5.42* These are great to fill in some spare time if you like crosswords. Different difficulty levels make your choice easier ### 5/5 — crossword *2017-03-26, version 5.42* grids need to be bigger ### 5/5 — Free games *2015-06-17, version 4.6* I love the free games I am getting. I am getting coins for winning the games but there are no letters on the crosswords only balloons saying congratulations you won . ### 5/5 — Best crossword app ever *2014-12-15, version 2.3* This crossword puzzler was always great but the latest update is fantastic. It's so bright and colourful, really easy to use and responds fast. It's great fun to pit your wits against other players and the points and coins rewards system is good too. Yes there was a problem loading the app after the last iOS update, but an email to support at Boathouse resulted in a fix within 24 hours. If you like crosswords, I highly recommend you get this app. You won't find a better one! ### 5/5 — Crossword *2014-12-15, version 2.3* Please FIX IT! After the upgrade yesterday, it does not work. AT ALL! ### 5/5 — Best Crossword Game for iPhone!! *2014-11-20, version 1.6* I love this crossword game, it's my favorite! Solo or multiplayer, it's the best in the App Store! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
