It also feels good that I don’t need to feel guilty for asking for help on the cryptograms since I’m new to it and struggle more. I really enjoy this app and will probably purchase the extra packages to help the creator and since I enjoy it so much ### 5/5 — Nice Interfaces, great pricing model *2022-03-30, version 4.2.11* Very intuitive and easy to use interface. All puzzle games should use this pricing model. No ads, no monthly fee. Only pay for what you use, when you use it. ### 5/5 — Lots of fun *2022-02-27, version 4.2.11* But eventually you run out of puzzles. Good interface. ### 5/5 — Easy to use! *2022-01-29, version 4.2.11* i really enjoyed this app and did the first 100 in a couple of days. Insider tip—there is an undo arrow. Use it! I didn’t notice it until about Puzzle 85. would have saved me a lot of time! 😂 i always read about the person whose quotation i had just solved. i wish the link to Wikipedia took you to their article, but it doesn’t. it’s just a landing place with no way out. That’s my only negative comment about this app. i really am glad i downloaded it and am seriously considering paying for more. Well done, folks!!! 👏👏👏 ### 5/5 — Cryptograms *2022-01-29, version 4.2.11* I’m very happy to find this app so I can continue to do cryptograms, a favorite pastime of mine. The app works beautifully with no ads. ### 5/5 — An underappreciated gem *2021-11-28, version 4.2.11* (I say that because when you search on Cryptogram or Cryptograms on the App Store it’s barely in the top 10, whereas it deserves to be #1. That was on my iPhone; on my iPad it’s even worse - it’s barely in the top 20.) So I wrote a glowing review on this two years ago, and I wanted to edit it because I noticed a mistake but due to a bug in the App Store I couldn’t do so without deleting it so now I am re-creating, with a few edits. Unfortunately I failed to print the nice response from the developer so I can’t re-create that part. FROM THE ORIGINAL REVIEW: I haven’t tried a lot of cryptogram games on my tablet, but of the ones I have this is by far the best. It’s got a clean, intuitive interface, several difficulty levels, no ads, and they give you quite a lot of puzzles for free. (Once you exhaust those you can buy large puzzle packs for a very reasonable fee, or you can do a monthly subscription which is also very reasonably priced.) I am also impressed with the selection of quotes - there’s a lot of variety, and the ones I’ve done so far have been very well-chosen – I’ve never had that feeling I sometimes have doing cryptograms or acrostics where after finishing it I think “Why did they bother making a puzzle out of this quote?” END OF ORIGINAL REVIEW (In the original review I also asked where they got the expert times because generally I couldn’t begin to touch them, but now that I’ve been doing it for a while I’ve actually gotten quite a lot better, to where I’m beating the experts about 50% of the time.) ### 4/5 — Awesome game *2021-06-20, version 4.2.11* I love this game but I wish it didn’t clear the puzzles when you switch between them ### 5/5 — Great Format *2021-06-13, version 4.2.11* Perfect way to get hooked for free and be given the opportunity to continue for a small fee. ### 5/5 — Interesting *2021-05-01, version 4.2.11* I like this game because it requires thought, and I like to challenge my brain. It also is fun because I enjoy selecting the author and learning about her or him afterward. ### 5/5 — Easy to use and fun *2021-04-04, version 4.2.10* Great app and well built. easy to use and relaxing ### 5/5 — Wonderful game and no ads!!! *2021-02-27, version 4.2.11* This is the only game on my phone because i refuse other games who have adds and continually change my ‘ no sound’ settings. The quotes are awesome. Nice that they are in three levels and easy to see and use. ### 5/5 — Challenging with great quotes *2021-02-08, version 4.2.11* Much better quotes than other apps I’ve tried as a little reward for solving these puzzles. Nice and challenging with stats and difficulty levels. Great to try beating the “expert” times- which are tough enough I still get excited when I do. Love the info on the source of the quotations. ### 5/5 — Best game *2021-01-29, version 4.2.11* Finally a game for adults. I have done crypto’s for years so nice to have one I can take with me and enjoy at my leisure ### 5/5 — well-made, good puzzles, love the lack of ads! *2021-01-17, version 4.2.11* I love this app! It’s very straightforward puzzle-solving, no bells and whistles, as many hints as you want, and I haven’t encountered any bugs or hiccups! You get 100 puzzles free with no ads, and after that it’s a very reasonable $2 each for more packs. I’m about to buy a second pack, and figured I should leave a review :) ### 5/5 — Great fun *2020-12-12, version 4.2.11* I am an addict. So I love doing your cryptograms. Walt the addict ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Confusing *2024-12-14, version 4.2.11* Directions are terrible. They don’t explain what to do with the letters to make words out of them. Glad I didn’t spend any money. ### 1/5 — After the first level they charge you *2024-01-26, version 4.2.11* After playing the entire first level, you can’t go any further, unless you pay, which makes me not like this app. ### 1/5 — Why🤷‍♀️??? *2022-07-21, version 4.2.11* I’m wondering why you charge a fee to play the game 😡! I love Cryptograms and I don’t make a lot of money! So they’re other sites that don’t charge anything! So I will give them my business!!! Very “BAD” business for your company!!! VERY BAD”!!! ### 1/5 — Let me just buy access to the puzzles *2022-04-07, version 4.2.11* Subscription-based service for this is utter nonsense ### 1/5 — no fun *2020-09-21, version 4.2.10* JUst that simople... No Fun ### 1/5 — Freezes constantly! *2014-04-30, version 1.1.01* I really enjoyed this app, I even bought a few of the puzzle packs. Now every time I play it freezes, and the only way to fix it is to reinstall it and then restore purchases. I've done that twice now, and it's frozen again. I don't want to reinstall and lose all my progress AGAIN, but the app is unplayable now. Frustrating!! ### 3/5 — Too expensive *2022-07-13, version 4.2.11* I bid you farewell with sadness. I do one puzzle a day as part of my regime of mental exercise. I’ve done all the packs except the unlimited and I won’t pay $60/year for my daily puzzles. I’ll have to look elsewhere for my daily crypto. (I would pay $30 though.) ### 3/5 — Say What? *2016-06-22, version 1.3.3* I love this game, it's predecessor was one of the first games I bought for my old 1st gen iPod. Some updates have been good, some not so much. Not so much, as I've not played recently, I don't know for sure which update did this, but you can no longer browse through the puzzles in a level? It's taken a ***** game down to ***. Ick. ### 3/5 — Good.....Disappointing. *2015-10-17, version 1.1.04* Love doing Cryptograms and this app has been a lot of fun until I bought #3 and the timer stopped working correctly. It's like it doesn't ever stop timing so you can have a medal on minute and then the next it's gone because the game thinks your still working even though you are on another puzzle. If you don't care about the timer and beating the clock this app is fun ### 3/5 — What happened?? *2014-02-14, version 1.1.01* This is my favorite game. I play it every day. But it just started freezing up!?! I have purchased 4 of the puzzle sets which is nearly 10$ worth. It was worth the price when it worked! But now it totally freezes when I try to open a new puzzle. Pls fix! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great quotes *2024-11-04, version 4.2.11* I like this format better than other cryptoquote apps. ### 5/5 — Yea! *2024-08-15, version 4.2.11* Blessed absence of ads! ### 5/5 — Enjoyable and Thought Provoking. *2024-01-28, version 4.2.11* Great quotes, but I wish after solving them you could re-visit them in a list of completed quotes. ### 5/5 — Easier than Paper *2023-12-15, version 4.2.10* These cryptograms are easier to do than are paper ones, because you can easily delete a letter that seems to be wrong. ### 5/5 — Love this *2023-12-10, version 4.2.11* I really like my cryptograms, and this site is great. Especially love no ads!! ### 5/5 — Cryptogram *2023-10-17, version 4.2.11* I love these puzzles, there is so much variety and no ads. I’m addicted. ### 5/5 — Rate *2023-06-27, version 4.2.11* Am totally enjoying every puzzle. ### 5/5 — o oh i’ll n *2023-04-12, version 4.2.11* imnzmz ### 5/5 — Challenging and Fun! *2022-11-03, version 4.2.11* Cryptograms is a recent purchase of mine. I am a puzzle nut and recently have turned to cryptograms. This app is easy to use, intuitive, and challenging. I will probably use it as long as there are new puzzles to solve. ### 5/5 — This is a delightful pastime! *2022-09-07, version 4.2.11* I’ve always enjoyed crypt-quotes but never thought about doing on my tablet until recently. I’m so glad I found this site; lots of fun and challenging. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
