It’s ok. Could be better

This is ok to pass time. But the spelling errors in some of these answers is ridiculous.

Crossword.

Keep them coming, I enjoy them very much. Some times you have to think, great, I worry that you will disappear, that would be sad..

Good but has flaws

This is a good crossword with an easy and helpful design but has a few flaws. Some of the words are spelled incorrectly and a few of the clues too! For example. Capital city of New South Wales is not Sidney, it’s Sydney! The clues are too Euro centric too...too many references to lakes, towns and colloquial British and European places. Also I hate the pathetic clues likes like a sound of disgust: hoot or boo or tush...pathetic clues and answers. There’s no reason to include Hebrew,Greek and Latin words and letters either...all irrelevant information that only scholars would know. Apart from these faults, it’s great and I recommend it.

A lot of work ahead!!! Hurray

Good distraction amd learning at the same time

Fair and enjoyable crossword puzzler. British English

This is the best crossword puzzler of the few that seemed worth trying on the App Store (I did buy a few others and they were ok but the clues and lack of enough overlapping words made simple answers sometimes hard to work out). I have been using it for some years on a few different iOS devices and it has received appropriate updates and remained reliable.
There are occasional clues or answers which are a bit British-centric, but not often enough to be a problem except on one of the 2 medium difficulty puzzle sizes.
My only complaint would be that you can’t adjust the crossword size to make it fit on the screen without having to drag the screen around on the larger more difficult puzzles. This is despite the iPad screen resolution being easily enough to still display everything clearly. Using an Apple Pencil would easily make even the largest puzzles usable despite being shrunk to fit the screen.

FAQ

What is Crosswords Plus?

Crosswords Plus is a crossword puzzle app that features 'Arrow Words,' a format where clues are displayed directly within the puzzle grid. This makes it easy to view and solve puzzles, especially on larger screens like the iPad. The app offers a substantial collection of puzzles with varying difficulty levels.

How many puzzles are included and what are the difficulty levels?

The app includes 1200 all-new Arrow Words puzzles. These puzzles are categorized into 4 difficulty levels. Easier levels feature simpler words and smaller grids, suitable for short breaks, while harder levels offer more challenging clues and larger grids for extended play.

What are the interface and sound options?

Users can choose from three visual interfaces: Classic, News, and Colour, designed to recreate the feel of solving crosswords from a newspaper. Additionally, there are optional sound effects, including the sound of a pen moving as you fill in letters, for a more immersive experience.

Is this app suitable for players outside of Commonwealth countries?

While the puzzles are created by British puzzle editors with players from Commonwealth countries in mind, players from North America and other regions are welcome to enjoy the app. The core gameplay and puzzle design are universally appealing to crossword fans.

What is the cost of Crosswords Plus?

The application itself is free to download and play. However, it offers in-app purchases, suggesting that additional puzzle packs or features may be available for purchase.
