What's New in Crosswords for Kids 1

1.2.2

May 13, 2015

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. Another bug banished! Many apologies for the 'completion-screen-won't-go-away-bug', apparently our programmer couldn't even complete a kids crossword! It is all fixed, and your unsolved puzzles are clear to solve. When a crossword is completed you can also now reset that puzzle and try again, or challenge a friend to do it faster!

Can’t see questions

Paid $.99 and can’t get the questions to scroll up to see them all. Can’t find anyway to ask for help so only choice was to write a review. Would appreciate my money back if the app doesn’t work.

Great crosswords for travelling kids

I have chosen this App for my almost 9 yr old grandson who is about to embark on a long road trip with his family & some friends. It promises to be fun to complete- there’ll be plenty of opportunity to engage with the adults to help out with clues if needed. I’m sure that he’ll take the challenge of going beyond his age range. The size & font are perfect for the small screen. The off line capability will really suit wherever they are. Clues are most age appropriate. Great educational fun!

Perfect “elementary” crossword puzzles

I’m so incredibly pleased with this app!! First app I’ve ever reviewed, but since it didn’t have many reviews I couldn’t let this GEM stay undiscovered!

My 6 year old son is elated! When he finished the first, and found put there were 25, he said, “I could be really busy!!!”

My 9 and 11 year olds were also entirely engaged.

I absolutely love that it’s in the same appearance and fashion as regular crossword puzzles, such as my NY Times, and so my kids feel like they’re doing the real thing.

They really liked how the wrong letters appeared in red (although I believe you could change this?)

I’m so, so happy to find literally exactly what I was hoping for on the App Store!
Definitely worth my 99 pennies LOL

THANK YOU!!

Great for travelling with kids

Two of my children (11 and 8) spent hours together during downtime travelling in Europe completing these crosswords. It was fun and was what a bit of exercise for their brains too!

Good app for slightly older kids

My 9 year old has become really interested in crosswords but a lot of the 'kid' crossword apps available are targeted at younger users & are too easy. This one fits the bill exactly being a good mix of words that she can answer correctly after having a bit of a think, easy ones and harder ones that challenge her & keep it interesting.
