What's New in Crostix Free

3.3

December 17, 2016

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. Three new books! Crostix Books 12 and 13, and a second book of Larry Katzman's Gaglines puzzles. Updated for iOS 10. Unfortunately, that also means you will need at least iOS 8 to run this new version. Our apologies to those using older devices. But most importantly, we hope that this new version fixes the evil and long-standing bug which caused the app to be stuck in "Waiting for Data" mode for new books. Let us know if you still have problems with this; fixing it is our number one priority.

User reviews

Crostix Free

It’s a great game, if only it would not disappear from the app. The screen just goes blank. If you uninstall it, then reinstall it, it will return, but it will go blank again. It’s junk. Don’t waste your time.

Great games!

I love these puzzles! Some of them are pretty tough, and I have to ask the Internet, but then I do my best to remember and voilà… I’ve learned something new!
Here’s a quick tip for those of you who have finished them and want to start again. Just uninstall then reinstall the app. When it prompts you to buy puzzles, click already purchased and you can restore them, blank and ready to go again.

Challenging, but great layout!

I love that I can see the clues and the puzzle at the same time and the size is easy to read. The clues are challenging, but not impossible. I don’t consider it cheating to use the internet and a few hints!! Hours of enjoyment for the price.

Perfect

Just right in difficulty for me. Love the literary sensibility of the quotes. The “letter” hints are a big help.

Really Good Puzzles

Nice layout and nicely challenging. Welcome spread from easier to harder. Well worth the $.99. Only real disappointment is that the explanation of the source of the quote is often minimal, sometimes not even mentioning the book!
