### 3/5 — Pictorial clues are cute and challenging

*2012-02-26, version 1.0.5*

This is an American style crossword with the clues embedded in the grid. The difficulty is challenging. There does not appear to be any options to cheat or check the answers. Unless you do completely finish the puzzle correctly. I was able to find missing answers in the dictionary and online.

### 3/5 — This has potential

*2012-01-22*

This has potential but needs more work. It is confusing and a little difficult to use at first. Also hints would be really nice.

### 3/5 — Great App, has potential.

*2012-01-13*

I really enjoy the app, however, I'm hesitant to purchase more puzzles until certain "tweaks" are done. It needs to include hints and/or show errors. Also, I believe I completed 3 of my puzzles with no errors, but I can't tell! Please fix and I'll give 5 stars.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Boooo

*2012-12-11, version 1.0.7*

Doesn't make any sense

### 1/5 — Yet another pixelated app

*2012-11-30*

The iPhone 5 is out, and these people still can't get their act together and design for retina displays???

### 1/5 — Unfinishable

*2012-10-27, version 1.0.7*

Almost half of the puzzles either require you to misspell the answers to make things fit and even then you can't finish the puzzle, for instance there is a picture of a "broom" but only "bosom" fits with the rest of the clues, (haha) so the puzzle is unfinishable, and "violent and dangerous" has to be "maniec" to fit with the rest of another puzzle.

### 1/5 — Crossword

*2012-02-20*

Not a typical crossword. The clues are difficult to figure out.

### 1/5 — Check your facts!

*2012-01-21, version 1.0.3*

Where do I start, the clues make little or no sense for the most part and of those clues that do make sense ( what is the capital of Australia?) the answer recorded is wrong as the answer is Canberra but only Sydney fits... If you make a crossword, make it right!

### 2/5 — Waste of time

*2012-06-25*

This game isn't challenging to figure out in an intellectual way, it seems poorly thought out. Clues often don't make sense. Picture clues are poor. Typical crossword details such as tense continuity and abbreviation are overlooked. I feel as if I have wasted time on the two puzzles I've attempted.

### 3/5 — Alright

*2013-04-03, version 1.0.8*

Some hard, some easy. Sometimes hard to solve the very last couple of letters.

### 3/5 — Hard

*2013-03-25*

A little too difficult for me, but will keep trying

### 3/5 — Puzzling

*2012-07-07*

To slow on hints and hint is not always where you want it.

### 3/5 — Could be better

*2012-05-16*

Confusing at first. Wish hints didn't give whole words and that I could get them faster. Wish there were settings that could show if a letter was right or not or to shut off the music. Some little pictures are confusing.  Still was fun.  Wish it was more mike "Arrow words".

### 5/5 — Needs hints

*2012-04-10*

Love this app! It needs hints or some type of solver online

### 5/5 — I love it!!!

*2012-02-02*

This is just what I needed to keep my mind sharp! It starts off a little weird but it isn't hard to catch on

### 5/5 — Fun

*2012-01-28*

Love it !!

### 4/5 — Help Option

*2012-06-26*

The hints tend to repeat themselves.  If you are stuck and you don't get a new hint, you can never solve the puzzle.  Sometimes I'm sure all of me answers are correct but the puzzle shows as not being solved.

### 4/5 — Fun

*2012-05-06*

I agree that at times the clues can be confusing, but they sure can be fun to figure out. It's a whimsical crossword puzzle. Try it; you'll like it!

### 4/5 — Fun & Different

*2012-04-20*

Needs more obvious directions but fun once you figure out what's going on!

### 4/5 — Fun app

*2012-03-13*

I enjoy this game some clues are challenging but isn't that what makes it fun?  I wish there was a way to hide completed games and the game seems to crash a lot. Worth it still.

### 4/5 — Rating

*2012-02-21*

I love crosswords. Sometimes the pictures are difficult to discern but otherwise fun!

### 4/5 — It's sufficient

*2012-02-11*

Takes a little to get used too but it works fine.
