BEST CROSSWORD APP
This is my favorite crossword app. It has tons of daily crosswords & is free with no ads.
Falsely labelled in multiple languages
Only the menu/settings are adjustable in a different language. The puzzles are in English only
One Across hints are useless
I’ve had this app for YEARS. Back in the day Starbucks used to have these cards with promo codes to get certain paid apps for free and this was one of them. I love this crossword app. Easily the best one out there.
But then they stopped supporting this one because they have a different one you can pay for and they never decommissioned this, thankfully.
I do use the Hints feature on some of the harder puzzles and I really wish they’d stop using OneAcross.com which is basically just a spam ad site and now it doesn’t even give you the hints.
I wish they’d support this app again, it’s the best no frills crossword app.

4. USELESS, Dont bother
Give me my refund.
The best has become the worst
Original (5-star review): There's really no contest among iPad crossword apps. This one's the best by far. The daily stream of top-flight puzzles makes it well worth the price, and the interface is the best in the business - even better than the NY Times app.
New review (one-star): For many months now, every other time you click on the help button the app crashes. This problem has NOT been fixed, despite many, many complaints by users. I really want this app to go back to being the best crossword app on the iPad, but as it is now I cannot recommend it to anyone. Please fix that bloody bug!!

Simple fun
I love the endless stream of puzzles and can choose source/difficulty. The UI is great as you can use left thumb on arrows to scroll through clues and it always shows both directional clues on whatever square youre on. One of the oldest apps ive owned and amazed its held up so long, just had to finally post a review! Also appreciate diff options like i enjoy the red letter mode for incorrect letters life is too short to have to wrangle a puzzle to trip over bad guesses!

Doesn’t work with ios 16 anymore!
They updated it yesterday, and now it won’t work correctly with my bluetooth keyboard.
No night mode
This app needs night mode.
Suddenly I’m seeing red
Everything was okay. All my entries were black letters. I had errors set to hidden. Then for no reason all my entries are red. Correct and incorrect. If I set it to errors in red my entries are black if correct but now I see every wrong entry and that feels like cheating. I tried deleting and re-loading the app. It worked for about a week. Now I’m seeing red again. It’s just not fun anymore.

Please add a filtering option
It would be so much easier to be able to filter the difficulty list by source and also to filter the source list by digit. Could you please add this in?
Thank you!
Thank you!
Where are Newsday Crosswords?
I’ve used this app for years and its been great. However, I’ve noticed that crossword providers have been shrinking and lately none of the Newsday Crosswords are available. What’s going on?
Crosswords Classic
Was a good app with support. Now missing puzzles and developer does not reply to support submissions.
Great App and Great Customer Service
I have had this app on both my iPhone and iPad for several years now and I love it. Recently the app on my iPad got messed up so I deleted it and reinstalled. The options gear was missing on the reinstall and I was unable to change the settings to my liking. I contacted Customer Service (Ben) who investigated the issue and created an update to fix it. I’m a happy Crosswords Classic geek again!

Good App
I use this almost daily. The one issue I have are the occasional puzzles where there are apparently several letters in one box as part of the solution. There’s no way to enter that, so there’s no way to solve the puzzle. It’s rather irritating and I end up deleting them/not bothering when I come across them—it’s just not obvious at first.

Quit Downloading
I’ve had this app for a few years but it has recently quit downloading new puzzles. Haven’t been able to download one since May 27. Disappointing.
5 letters. What gravity does
The free cw from sai works for me in braille using ipad, voiceover and a braille display.
Imagine my shock and horror then (eek!) when, after plunking down my ten sheckels, I find the classic version totally inaccessible.
I considered suicide :) but lack the energy since I quit coffee.
Please, pleas, pretty please, with sugar and spit, fix the classic version so voiceover users can use it.
If not may a thousand ernes defile your windshield.
If you need beta testing or feedback just holler.

Updates messed it up
Can no longer print. Really? Who is in charge of testing?
Unable to print puzzles and no support
It seems like the developers just walked away from this app. There is no support whatsoever. I’ve been waiting months for them to fix the problem of being unable to print out the puzzles. I get a generic answer that “they are aware of the problem and working on it” but.....months??? C’mon guys, you charge a pretty steep price for an app that has no developer support. Wish I could get my money back. Won’t be downloading any more apps from Standalone, that’s for sure!

This guys an idiot
Ben whatever the heck his name is, wrote ALL the “beginner” crossword and let me tell you, a college educated woman , can’t do one of them. It is frustrating to the point of wanting to throw the whole thing out the window. I knew answers for some of these but he used obscure words and people the average person couldn’t possibly know. If you’re a PhD geek, or a new york times player, great, I chose it for beginning puzzles . No way.

Enjoyable
