### 1/5 — Don't bother

*2025-07-11, version 1.4.77*

Unusable free version

### 2/5 — No subscription

*2025-05-25*

I am wondering if this app has a subscription because if it does I will not download it again!👎🏻

### 1/5 — Makes you download the other app that costs money or it will not work

*2025-05-13*

I was trying to solve the puzzle when I tried to scan the puzzle it redirects me to download an app that lets you have a small limited time trial then costs money don’t download this garbage app unless you want to be redirected to another app. Waisted my space on my phone 0/5 stars!

### 5/5 — Definitely getting better as time goes on

*2024-01-31*

The app when I first got it wasn’t the greatest. Got bombarded with ads and the app itself didn’t function that well. In the past few updates though it’s been much more helpful and I believe they are making it show less ads now too, cool stuff

### 4/5 — Alright

*2023-12-12*

The only problem with the app is the extra steps that you have to do in order to be able to search for your word. Having the advertisements are fine though, I understand that.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2023-10-05*

Doesn’t work

**Developer response:** Hello Njctj, it is unfortunate the app did not work for you. It should.
Please reach out to xws@havnor.eu so that we may help you.

### 4/5 — Not bad

*2023-06-27*

We used it to solve a Metro crossword on the train. I don’t care for online features, but I wish the square numbers could be made more visible somehow (currently they’re obscured by the filled in letters.)

It also does *something* after scanning the puzzle, and if you try to start solving it in the meanwhile, the puzzle gets reset after that *something* is done, which is annoying.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback 7macaw.
If you reach out at xws@havnor.eu maybe you can help us understand what this *something* is - and maybe we can help you get around it.

### 1/5 — TRASH

*2023-01-19*

It does not even work

**Developer response:** It’s unfortunate that you did not get Crossword Scanner to work as expected.
Please reach out to us at xws@havnor.eu so that we may help you resolve the problem.

### 5/5 — Not showing 2nd puzzle

*2019-11-10*

I can not see my second puzzle. When I try to load anymore I’m told it’s full.  same issue as before and no response from  with 2/2 slots used.  since I can’t see the puzzle I can’t delete it. Ive restarted the app and my iPad. 
I tried to send support request but I receive an error fail to connect and send message

Update 10/5/2019
same problem as before. Tried to send feedback and that fails. Only option is delete app and start over. Excellent tool but author has abandoned it and fails to address problems as iOS ver increase.

**Developer response:** I'm sorry you had this unfortunate experience.
Please delete by swiping left in the list of puzzles to make room if you have no room in the cloud storage. (There is no limit on the crosswords you keep on your device ie.non-shared crosswords.)
@Golfjonescapital if you still experience this problem please reach out to xws@havnor.no and we will help you resolve it.

### 2/5 — Artieff

*2018-01-16, version 1.3.0*

Could be very good, but completely ruined by intrusive advertising.
