Was enjoyable until it wasnt

Unable to download puzzles

Non working app

App no longer works

Puzzle problems

All of a sudden, last night, the app started crashing immediately.

I upgraded my IOS to 10.2 about 2 weeks ago and this didn't start until last night.

If I turn off my internet connection it works again.

Ads make it useless

This was my favorite, go to puzzle app. This ad situation has completely ruined it. I can't even do a single puzzle because of the horrid placement of the ads. Get to coding and fix this!!!!!

Ads render puzzle useless

The banner ads completely obliterate the clues which makes this app useless
This was corrected for a while and now these ads hiding the clues are back again making these puzzles useless

Ads make this app useless

Ads constantly cover the puzzle clues, making the app impossible to use. Stupid.

In-app purchase

I paid to keep the ads out. They were gone that day. Today, I tried to use this app and the ads are back. Ridiculous!

Very unhappy

The upgrade on the 28th did not restore my games. I finally decided I would just redo (the hundreds that I lost) but the banners are not allowing me to see clues. I am very disappointed in the upgrade and the data that was lost during the process.

Bad Update

With latest update(?), can not download the puzzles making the app useless!

Can't read clues because of ads

I understand that banner ads are a part of using a free app. However, the ads cover the clues to the puzzles so it is impossible to play. Awful.

Gone!!

After Sep. 25 update: prior,progress still missing and still cannot download puzzles like Wall Street. All puzzle in every category have green arrow now(for download) but always says cannot download.

Prior to Sep 25 update:
Nice update! Erased all of my progress and wiped out the puzzles which can not be downloaded again. You can keep your update and I'll be deleting the app. If someone has this app, DO NOT. Update it.

All gone!

I've been using this app for a couple of months, and have completed hundreds of crosswords. A recent update has wiped out all of my work! The app has reset everything back to day one. How do I get them back?
It's also very hard to play if the clues don't appear when selecting a word. The ads cover the clues. I have also tried paying the 99 cents to remove the ads, and the ads are still there. This is criminal! It is now completely useless.

Crummy update!

Just did the update and all my completed puzzles are gone. Glad to see I'm not the only one in this situation, but, I want my old app back. I used to really enjoy it but this is the pits! And, most of the time the ad at the top is covering the clues! Lousy update in my book. If not fixed soon, going to delete and find something else. AND this WAS one of my favorite go to puzzles!

No clues

Since the update the clues don't appear on my screen. Can we fix this?

Buggy

App has so many bugs it's not worth one star

Crappy game

Worst crossword game I've ever tried. This game gets no stars, maybe if you had some minus stars to pick from

Crap

A very lousy app

Could be but ain't

Ads that can't be removed block top part of every game. Clues to puzzles block top row of every answer grid. 100%. Aggravation!

Crossword

This is probably the worst crossword system I have seen! It is difficult to work with, not users friendly at all. My suggestion is to download ANY other crossword app and you will be better off

Unplayable

The puzzles themselves are ok, but completely unenjoyable due to the frequent full-page popup ads for other games. And trying to close the ads by trying to click the tiny little 'x' ends up with you being redirected to the page to buy the advertised game instead. Unbelievably obnoxious. Also, it doesn't always save the last word you entered so next time you go to play you have to retype the last word. You can get hints, but only every 10 minutes, which is also annoying- I should be able to decide how often I want to cheat. Don't waste your time with this app!!!!
