Do Not Download!

I played this game for years, but recently it kept locking up my iPhone 17 and freezing the screen. I was unable to use my phone for 4-5 minutes. I deleted and reloaded the app 3 times, but it still happens.

What is happening

Will you just fix this game so it stops crashing. Why don’t you pay attention to what your customers are saying. Pathetic

Love it except it freezes

For the last month the app keeps freezing all the time and I have to restart the whole app. So annoying! Otherwise great game!

Crashing too often

I really like this crossword but it has been crashing more frequently and it’s really annoying.

Crashing

I’ve played this game for years. For some reason here lately it keeps crashing and just stalls in the middle of playing? Please fix it!! Once fixed it’s definitely worth 5 stars!
