Update ruined this app

The update yesterday completely ruined this app. It was one of my favorite games before this. The new design is difficult to play, smaller characters, cluttered, and difficult to read. TAKE IT BACK TO WHAT IT USED TO BE, OR YOU’LL BE USED, LOSING MANY PLAYERS!!

Totally ruined

Recent update totally changed the user interface and the new design looks terrible. The old design was simple and very clean, but now it looks cluttered just like every other cryptogram game on the app store. This app used to be so simple, but now you have to click through so many menus just to start a game. I miss being able to select easy, medium, hard, or expert from the home screen and playing a game immediately. Also, while playing a game, it is frustration having to click multiple times just clear the screen or use a hint. It used to be so simple.

Optional UI

I really like this game and have played over 1900 quotes. The updated UI looks modern but I prefer the old one. Especially, the removal of the reset button on top of the screen is pretty disappointing. It would be nice if there was an option to completely revert to the old UI.

Response from developer

Thank you for playing over 1,900 quotes! Reset is currently in the three-dot menu > Restart puzzle. We are adding a visible Reset button at the top right in an upcoming update. There is no classic-interface option at present. You can reach us at support@cryptogrm.com with any questions. Happy puzzling!

What happened

I’ve played this app on and off for years. The latest updates have made it awful to look at and play. Thinking about deleting it.

Suddenly really ugly and unplayable

I love this game and I've been playing it for years, why did they make it ugly out of nowhere??? The new features are nice I guess, but the new UI makes it almost unplayable for me. I have an older phone, and the new UI takes up like 75% of the screen space when I'm trying to solve a puzzle. Even on the smaller font settings I can't see more than 2 lines of the text at once. And to reiterate, the new look is just ugly. It wouldn't be so bad if there was at least an option for a monochrome color palette. It sucks to say, but in its current state the UI design and size makes it an awful experience to play this game. Until it gets fixed, I don't think I can put up with playing

Love it!

I love this app and just wish the Battle feature worked!

Fun

It’s a fun, challenging and addictive game. I enjoy it tremendously.

Very good. Can u add widget?

I like the game, it is fun to play can u make so that we can add a widget to our front page? Additionally can u make so that we can filter the favorite quotes.

Seems to have lost its data server

No longer has the ability to get puzzle categories or leaderboards

Ads freeze up

I love the game, but twice today it went to ad and wouldn’t go any further.
I’m not downloading it again today, but will try again in the future to see if you’ve fixed it.

Inappropriate ads

Very inappropriate ads of Ladies in the bottom banner of game screen the whole time. Uninstalling!

Porn ads

The game was fine but suddenly there were porn ads popping up. Absolutely awful!!!! Deleted this immediately!

Simple but fun

The game is created without all the extra steps of lots of options and separate pages it gives you difficulty levels, genres, and the interface is easy. I appreciate a fun and easy to play game created for all types of players.

Inappropriate Add

I was really enjoying this word puzzle game - Until…some VERY inappropriate images appeared in an ad. Too bad. Not too many ads, but when rated R material shows up i’m done

Unable to use without paying or providing unfettered access to personal information

Won’t be giving it another looks. Scammers

Great mind tool

Great tool to keep your mind sharp. Wish there were less ads.

Great game

I love this game. Very few ads is a game changer for me. And you can choose your experience level. Plus themes to choose from. All in all, download this game. I don’t think you will be disappointed.

Like the categories

Really been enjoying the Dad Jokes! 😂

cryptogram stays winning

ive had the app for a while and its so swag, ads arent too bad either though they can be long

Excellent!

Excellent game. Mature game with inspirational quotes. Relaxing but also challenging. Opportunities to rank.
