It would seem to have minimal privacy invasions so appearing ‘safe’ for those concerned about personal data. This is an illusion: of the 700+ ‘partners’ where you can withdraw consent to info sharing, most will be turned back on automatically. There are no cryptic clues, irrespective of difficulty level. Perhaps the biggest minus is that periodically rather long adverts appear for other games. Some of those games also have extremely loose privacy policies. It also means a waiting time with adverts before the next puzzle is made available (to get round that though, close then reopen the app). ### 2/5 — For harder clues read less relevant answers *2024-10-09, version 4.2.3* On the easier crosswords the clues seem to fit the correct answer very well, but as you increase difficulty levels you start to see clues that have little or no relevance to the answer required. In some cases it’s just the tense is wrong, in others it seems the clue writers don’t use or understand English. I finally gave up when the answer to which city a football club came from was completely wrong. ### 3/5 — pluses & minuses *2024-09-23* As a quick (and free) auto-generated simple crossword it seems worth having. It has minimal privacy invasions so ‘safe’ for those concerned about personal data. There are no cryptic clues, irrespective of difficulty level. Perhaps the biggest minus is that periodically rather long adverts appear for other games. Some of those games have extremely loose privacy policies. It also means a waiting time with adverts before the next puzzle is made available. ### 3/5 — Avis *2024-09-19, version 4.2.3* Définition trop évasive ### 3/5 — Bon jeu mais trop de pub *2024-08-18, version 4.2.3* Bon jeu mais trop de pub ### 3/5 — Avis *2024-07-17* Beaucoup de grilles datent Beaucoup de définitions trop simples Bref pas vraiment ludique ni intéressant Doit mieux faire Tous les pseudos sont utilisés Vous êtes sérieux ?👎 ### 3/5 — Absence de culture francophone. *2024-01-18, version 4.2.3* Les définitions en lien avec la culture n’est que canadienne anglaise ou américaine. Je trouve, mais comme je ne consomme pas ou très peu ces cultures, ça me déçoit. ### 4/5 — Language Barrier *2024-01-17, version 4.2.3* I like that this crossword game, unlike those from other appsmiths, has a database of words/clues, randomly selecting a grid and filling in the boxes. The rivals feel they have to employ a fleet of gridsmiths to write about a hundred puzzles. While I set the wordometer to US, the clues tend to be sounding UK. I do not knock other lands, but after the fracas from the 1770s, the lingos developed differently. I wish somebody else could make a random crossword filling engine and make the DB more localized. One more thing: I echo other users who’d like to see a panic button in case a puzzle is too tough and want to stop the game and get off. So long and thanks for The Rolling Stones. ### 2/5 — Ads *2023-10-21, version 4.2.2* Paid to have ads removed but still get some ads coming up. Very poor customer relations ### 4/5 — Got subscription but still ads at bottom *2023-10-06, version 4.2.2* Come on! Get rid of ads. ### 5/5 — Last update *2023-08-20, version 4.2* Worked perfectly before the last update. Right side of grid cannot be seen because zoom in/out does not work. ### 5/5 — Never a crossword *2023-06-21, version 4.1* Very enjoyable. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Meghatározások *2023-09-15, version 4.2.2* Teljes zűrzavar: Művészi = szép/ érez=gondol, mi=aki??? Ezek milyen megfejtések? ### 1/5 — Ne töltsd le! *2023-08-28, version 4.2.2* A meghatározások és a megfejtések sokszor köszönőviszonyban sincsenek egymással. Aki ezt így megcsinálta vagy nem tud magyarul, vagy nem látott még keresztrejtvényt. Egy párszor jeleztem, hogy hibás a meghatározás, de az ötödik után (két rejtvény alatt) feladtam. Ez így katasztrófa! ### 1/5 — Fed up *2023-08-23, version 4.2.2* Why change what wasn’t broken, doesn’t fit the screen anymore, didn’t you have anything else to do but spoil the crossword I’ve been enjoying for a long time. ### 1/5 — Latest update not formatted for iPhone *2023-08-20, version 4.2* Some of the keyboard and navigation buttons are outside of the screen and nothing in settings to fix it. Must have been done on a Monday. ### 1/5 — Took My Money and Left the Ads *2023-06-30, version 4.1* I paid for the ad free version, yet the ads are still there. I have reinstalled the app twice and restarted my device. If I try to ‘restore my purchase’ the app crashes every time. So I have nothing to show for my purchase. ### 1/5 — Mot croisé pour débutant *2023-05-10, version 4.1* Pas vraiment facile ### 1/5 — Clues are ridiculous *2023-04-08, version 4.1* I so wanted to love this app but the clues given are ridiculous! ### 1/5 — Stole My Money *2023-02-19, version 4.1* I paid to stop seeing the ads, and they don't stop. I even sent an email to the developer, and they won't get back to me. It looks like this app is just another scam. ### 1/5 — Subscription Issues *2023-02-11, version 4.1* In my case buying a subscription does no stop adverts and trying to recover the subscription fails, ether by presenting a message that tells one their attempt fails or, more commonly, crashing the app completely. Also, there appears to be no contact information. I am not happy with this product! ### 1/5 — Horrid noise over gameplay *2023-02-02, version 4.1* The ridiculous noise that comes up while playing the game is intrusive and very unwelcome. I get that there are ads with their intrusive sounds between rounds, but the new thing of terrible music during play is too annoying. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — KathyF *2025-09-11, version 4.2.3* The ads for other games are always getting stuck with no way of getting back to crossword other than switch device off and back on again. It’s a pity because I’ve used this for 10 years now and I’m thinking of changing to another which I don’t really want to do. ### 5/5 — Really quite good - but *2024-11-21, version 4.2.3* The crosswords are really good considering it’s free, however, as someone previously stated some of the answers don’t match the clue and although the spelling is in English and not entirely Americanese the computer that sets the clues is obviously American as it constantly uses the phrase “soccer” we play football in the UK and when it says “tourist attraction in the UK” it’s always a tourist attraction in London, there are tourist attractions in the UK outside that city and when it says “cities in England” they’re invariably towns, but having said that it’s a really good app although from a finicky Englishman a little frustrating ### 5/5 — Crossword *2024-10-24, version 4.2.3* Excellent crosswords ### 5/5 — Bedtime *2024-05-01, version 4.2.3* My bedtime friend my crossword is so entertaining, sometimes I shout at it,,other times it helps educate me,,couldn’t do without it … ### 5/5 — Love the challenge of finding the correct words *2024-04-17, version 4.2.3* Finding the correct words is Always a new challenge and it increases my vocabulary. ### 5/5 — Crucigrama *2024-04-13, version 4.2.3* Muy entretenido, me encanta por fin un crucigrama como quería. ### 5/5 — Great App. *2024-03-20, version 4.2.3* Lots of puzzles, lots of levels, layouts and options. ### 5/5 — Crossword *2023-12-24, version 4.2.2* It is very fun and entertaining . This game could keep me busy for hours . Overall very good and I do recommend ! ### 5/5 — iPad hangs often *2023-11-14* While using this app the iPad freezes often and screen blanks out. Have to wait for iPad to switch on. Not a good app. Has major bugs. Just removed the app that makes iOS to hang. ### 5/5 — Offensive words *2023-10-26, version 4.2.2* Please stop using offensive words that are racist, sexist, derogatory and insulting. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
