Only complaint is the use of red and green to check words. I am colorblind and the checks are mostly useless for me. Maybe a change in settings to allow for something like Bold vs non bold letters when they’re right and wrong would be very helpful. ### 3/5 — Too American *2026-01-10, version 1.33* If you want to appeal to a wider audience, I would suggest you make the clues / answers less Americanised. For example, a clue in today’s daily puzzle, ‘Pennsylvania port’ - answer ‘Erie’. That’s not really general knowledge to people outside the USA and I don’t know if it is to residents within the US either! There are other crosswords available, written within the US that are far more ‘world wide friendly’. ### 2/5 — Too many ads! *2025-09-14, version 1.33* Every time I try to play I have to watch an ad for a game I don't want! ### 3/5 — Lazy Coding *2025-05-29, version 1.33* I like the app. Only issue is when I rotate my iPad the letters become skewed. I have to restart the app to clear it ### 2/5 — has similar prompts everyday *2024-11-25, version 1.33* it’s a good crossword but i’ve noticed that everyday extremely similar prompts come up and the answers are the same as previous days ### 2/5 — Lost due to spinning forever *2024-04-30, version 1.33* I’ve been loving these xwords, however now none will open - just spins and spins ### 4/5 — Puzzles are great but can’t get rid of ads *2024-01-29, version 1.33* The ads at the beginning seem to never end and doesn’t appear they can be closed. ### 3/5 — Fix’s bugs! *2023-06-08, version 1.33* I would have given it a five star if it hadn’t start messing up on me..as Far as the game want show the crossword puzzles, keep flashing black & white boxes at the on set of trying to open up the page to play other than that it would have gotten a 5 because I love Playing crossword puzzles, I’m disappointed as it was my 2nd day playing!!😒😒 ### 5/5 — Daily Crossword *2023-04-24, version 1.33* I totally love this crossword, gives immediate errors, it’s my morning fix with coffee.👍 I couldn’t have said it better, I truly do love your crossword, I have it on my iPhone and iPad April 24/23 ### 5/5 — Omg yes *2023-04-13, version 1.33* Live laugh love this game! I’m not even a grandma and I play this every day get it rn 🫶🫶🫶 ### 5/5 — Doctor’s Office *2023-03-29, version 1.33* Nice crossword game. Takes a little getting used to. I use a stylus to maneuver, but I could use a finger. It makes the wait in a Doctor’s Office bearable and makes a good time waster. Keeps the mind active and that’s not really a waste of time at all. ### 5/5 — Games *2022-12-13, version 1.31* Arkadium has a good range of games and puzzles for all skill levels . I have a premium plan so I am not interrupted by ads. Hours of fun! ### 4/5 — Fun game!!!!!!! *2022-10-02, version 1.28* I really enjoy any game that makes me think, so I like this one, definitely!!!!!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Adds kill the game *2026-01-23, version 1.33* Adds pop-up and there is no way to close them. Finally gave up and uninstalled the game. I’ll look at Developer Responses to see any replies… ### 1/5 — Poor *2026-01-10, version 1.33* Very poor use of the English language. Too many colloquial terms. Poor structure with no indication of number of words in the answer. ### 1/5 — Ads do NOT go away *2025-02-28, version 1.33* How is this rated so high?!! I’ve had it for maybe 2 weeks. It goes away now. ### 1/5 — Words hard to see *2025-01-10, version 1.33* The bottom part of the letters are below the line so hard to make out the words. Difficult for that reason. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t open puzzles *2024-04-30, version 1.33* All of a sudden, the puzzles don’t open. Useless ### 1/5 — Would not recommend *2024-03-13, version 1.33* Annoying ads & even when you get the correct answer it will mark it an incorrect ### 1/5 — Puzzles will not open *2023-10-01, version 1.33* Waste of money. ### 1/5 — Torture *2022-07-25, version 1.25* Tapping a single square subjects you to an attack of ads. Correcting answers appears to be virtually impossible. Hated my time on it. ### 1/5 — Do not buy this app! *2022-03-07, version 1.15* Do not buy the “premium” version of this App! The keyboard is frequently unresponsive and today it will not even load! Serious bugs with this app that must be corrected! ### 1/5 — Another greedy developer *2021-10-26, version 1.3* This app was great! I did every puzzle each month on my morning breaks. I particularly enjoyed Mondays because I could catch up on the puzzles from the weekend as well. Until this week when they wanted me to pay to do previous monthly puzzles. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A Daily Routine *2026-06-24, version 1.33* This game has become a daily routine. I look forward to the weekend puzzles. They are not too hard, but not too easy. ### 5/5 — Clued In *2026-06-18, version 1.33* I’m very happy with how DCP is formatted. It allows me to make choices that are on my level. Solving the puzzles are a daily ritual I thoroughly enjoy :-) ### 5/5 — DCP review *2025-12-16, version 1.33* This is the first app I use, daily! ### 5/5 — Great *2025-05-25, version 1.33* Enjoyed it ### 5/5 — Amazing game!!!! *2025-02-15, version 1.33* I absolutely love this game! I do one of the puzzles every single day; I literally have a streak going. Only one taboo with the game: the harder levels have some questions that kids can’t answer without looking it up. But the easier modes are the best crosswords I’ve ever played! ### 5/5 — Whitu *2024-06-02* Tumeke ### 5/5 — Arkansan crosswords *2024-03-16, version 1.33* Not showing either red or green for letters ### 5/5 — Challenging *2024-03-01, version 1.33* Some times it may take me a few days to solve some. Others I often give up on. ### 5/5 — Brain train *2023-11-12, version 1.33* Keeps you sharp…good for all ages. ### 5/5 — Great Puzzles…however… *2023-09-22* The link that brings you to older puzzles is broken. Sometimes it works but most of the time it doesn’t. **Developer response:** Hi Kaia, ​I am sorry, but this game is no longer supported. I apologise for this. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
