### 5/5 — Top Crossword Solver

*2023-06-04, version 1.09*

Long time user here, loving the new dictionary feature. Keep it up!

### 5/5 — Must have for puzzle enthusiasts

*2022-05-31, version 1.06*

This is the most flexible app for puzzle enthusiasts I have found!

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2022-05-25*

Not only the above, but word choices seem to be more comprehensive.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the kind review 😀

### 5/5 — Superb

*2022-05-11, version 1.06*

Just amazing how this app has been developed over the years. A major feat of ingenuity! Without any parallel I can think of as a crossword addict.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-11-11, version 1.06*

This app is simple to use and gives you words that match letter patterns. It can even do anagrams for you. Really nice clean interface and the ads are unobtrusive.  You can also select a word it gives you and it hops you over to Google to see the word meaning.

### 1/5 — Also Trash

*2025-04-17*

Online versions much better

**Developer response:** CSK works great offline, including dictionary definitions, so a boon if you cannot go online. The native user interface has been streamlined for iOS devices and is a lot less clunky than a generic web interface. The app also has powerful filters to refine your searches, something that many website versions do not feature.

### 1/5 — The does nothing

*2023-11-19*

I’ve never downloaded an app to try out that, like this one, literally does nothing.   It’s amazing! Don’t bother with it.

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear that. Did you try to enter an anagram or a word with unknown letters?

### 2/5 — Latest update

*2026-03-11, version 1.15*

For me the app has been spoiled by the latest update with the double line spacing. It means a lot more scrolling as you see only half what could be seen before. And the banner advert is twice as big. Why not give a choice in settings? 
Things I’d like to see are better linking in the thesaurus which seems to throw in random words with tenuous connections and yet missing out obvious ones with similar meaning. Also the word list seems have many words which are not in the internal dictionary nor in the separate dictionaries. If you’re going to include a word then you ought be able to find a definition.

### 5/5 — Phil mull

*2026-07-30, version 1.16*

Excellent app - just cannot fault it!

### 5/5 — Fabulous

*2026-05-28, version 1.16*

Such a great app.

### 5/5 — Best Wordle Companion

*2025-12-24*

Wow! CSK sharply reduces the time it takes to solve a Wordle puzzle. The main tricks are to use the Exclude Words field and Reg Exp field.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the great review

### 5/5 — Is this app free

*2024-10-14, version 1.10*

Seems good Is it free ?

### 5/5 — Brian Mullin

*2024-08-07, version 1.10*

Would be totally lost without this app ….the absolute best and so easy to use !! However I am now unable to use the app properly, because when I input a word, then try to get the definition from dictionary.com I get a screen saying “ no result for the word. It applies to all the other options too !!!! Can you help ?                 Ps      CSK dictionary appears on a separate page !!

### 5/5 — Phil

*2024-04-29, version 1.10*

Without any doubt THE best app to use when doing crosswords. Please give the creators a grateful thank you from me.

### 5/5 — Not sure what that other guy is talking about…

*2024-03-15*

I love this app, very useful.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the kind review
