After years ready to delete game. ### 4/5 — Plus puzzle award *2026-03-20, version 4.1.3* I am really enjoying this app it is the best crossword app out there. However, I was really bummed tonight whenever I reached my 200 plus puzzle goal to receive a 50 coin reward and the “button “ would not work. I got out and back in that area and tried it again and it was gone, but yet it shows me as achieving that goal in my list below the award area 🥲 ### 3/5 — SMALL! *2026-01-14, version 4.0.7* The new windows update caused the app to shrink! This is my favorite game! HELP!! ### 4/5 — Why are the total points capped at 35,000? *2025-12-23, version 4.0.6* This needs to be fixed ### 3/5 — No instructions *2025-10-16, version 3.2.7* How do I earn coins? ### 3/5 — Broken ads use up my battery on my iPad. *2025-08-26, version 3.2.6* Please stop playing ads that you can close or videos go too long. The ads are suppose to be able to close, I only see some ads that you can do that. I really playing this crossword a lot but if these ads that you can’t close keep pop I might not want to play anymore. Listen to the people that play these crossword and fix it. ### 4/5 — Bonus puzzles wont play *2025-07-14, version 3.2.5* I like this app and play it daily, but I have several bonus puzzles saved up from when we earned points, that won’t play. I can open the puzzle, but I can only type in one letter. What’s up with that. Been going on since your format change. Update regarding developer response on July 10: still does not work. Last version I have is 3.2.5 ### 2/5 — Pretty Easy Puzzles *2025-06-28, version 3.2.4* Most of the clues are stupidly easy. Many of the themes are modern pop culture. Not very challenging. ### 3/5 — Incorrect Spelling *2025-06-19, version 3.2.2* I have never written a review for an app and am not sure how this works as I wanted to just let someone know that the puzzle on June 18 had a misspelling on the answer of asada for pollo asada in one of the down clues. The answer should be asada with an “a” but the puzzle had asado with an “o” which would not ever be correct and was confusing for the other answers. This was my third puzzle and hope others aren’t inaccurate as I was enjoying these already. ### 2/5 — Daily Pop *2025-06-11, version 3.2.1* It would be more fun if you gave more money instead of having to sit through so many ads to get so little. Most crossword games I play reward the player much more. You guys are stingy! ### 2/5 — Hints *2025-05-06, version 3.1.8* It’s frustrating having to watch videos for only 10 points! I end up leaving the game and going to other games ### 1/5 — Communication *2025-01-29, version 3.0.8* Seriously, everyone makes mistakes. It’s not every puzzle like it was in the past but this app needs a way for users to report errors found in the puzzles. There are times when two answers cross each other are to answer both I must mis-spell one of the words. I will even look them up to confirm the correct spellings and find out it is the puzzle that is flawed. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Loading *2026-06-15, version 4.2.2* It was working great and then the last few days it goes to load and just keeps thinking. I can’t get to my puzzles. ### 1/5 — Not working *2026-04-25, version 4.1.4* Just installed this app and when I open it, it just sits there and does nothing. What am I doing wrong? ### 1/5 — Blackout took my coins *2026-03-26, version 4.1.3* Last week (March 15-22, 2026) I was unable to log onto this app for a week +/-. I tried everything. It was not, repeat not, our internet connection. I did the “retry” option over and over with no result. I do these crosswords every day. I finally re-installed the app out of desperation. Still no luck. When the app finally opened I had not only lost my time records for each puzzle, but also my streak of days played, and worst of all THE EXTRA COINS I RECENTLY BOUGHT. If you are going to shut down the site or have excess traffic on the site you need to post an announcement. Now I am out of pocket and have to start over after several years of daily play. I am NOT amused. ### 1/5 — Terrible and not user friendly *2026-02-28, version 4.1.0* The puzzles are good but the app stinks!!! I contacted the developer since the app on my iPhone and iPad don’t read each other so my level of game on my phone are at higher game level than my iPad. Even thought I have same login, data and games don’t match on3another. Pain so I hardly play anymore. They never properly answered my question on how I can get my devices show the same games. ### 1/5 — Too many ads. *2025-12-12, version 4.0.5* Tired of the ads that loop to other ads. Deleted this app! ### 1/5 — New version/no download *2025-09-18, version 3.2.6* 09/18/25 puzzle has error. Tony Curtis and Igor don’t match up. The Y and I don’t work. App updated yesterday and now won’t download. Again, going to lose my daily progress. Quit updating if it’s just going to screw up the app. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 Finally able to log on, after three days. But due to NO fault of my own, I’ve lost my daily streak AND they want me to use 10 coins to play puzzles I couldn’t work because of their update 🤬🤬🤬 ### 1/5 — App is broken does not open *2025-06-22, version 3.2.2* This was a great app. Now it will not open. Time to delete it and install one from someone else. Lots of other crossword apps - find one! ### 1/5 — Coins *2025-06-11, version 3.2.1* 50 coins is all you get to start with? What happened to getting 160 coins to start with? What a joke! ### 1/5 — Communication *2025-06-10, version 3.2.1* Horribly written puzzles! Many recently are very vague. The writers seem to be having difficulty finding new puzzle clues. Continues to get worse over time! Seriously, everyone makes mistakes. It’s not every puzzle like it was in the past but this app needs a way for users to report errors found in the puzzles. There are times when two answers cross each other are to answer both I must mis-spell one of the words. I will even look them up to confirm the correct spellings and find out it is the puzzle that is flawed. ### 1/5 — Stupid ads *2025-02-11, version 3.0.9* What is up with not being able to click out of the ads that come up? Specifically the ones about senior health care. It’s become repetitive and very frustrating. Please get this fixed. It’s annoying and enough of a problem to make me delete the app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Unable to play *2025-12-07, version 4.0.5* The app won’t load. Unable to play whole day ### 5/5 — Refreshes memory *2025-11-20, version 4.0.2* Try to reclaim the memories of past TV Shows, etc! Good for your brain ### 5/5 — Daily crossword puzzle *2025-08-07, version 3.2.6* I love it. Keeps the mind going ### 5/5 — Daily pop crossword puzzle *2025-07-11, version 3.2.5* Excellent ### 5/5 — This is a great app! *2025-07-02, version 3.2.4* I had a problem with the app not working for me and the developer resolved the problem for me. Thanks for keeping me informed. I highly recommend this app. I play it every day. Give it a try. ### 5/5 — Landscape *2025-04-12, version 3.1.4* I love this crossword puzzle game. The interface is easy to use and the games are just the right difficulty for me (which means not too hard). A lot of ads, but I’m patient. I would love it if I could use landscape on my iPad for this app. ### 5/5 — Eastridge *2025-04-05, version 3.1.1* What happened to my account ? I let all past completed puzzles ### 5/5 — Confused *2025-03-27, version 3.1.0* I like your game. The puzzles are not too hard to solve. However how am I supposed to do 30 daily puzzles in February when there’s only 28 days in the month. Tough to get the bonus points that way. ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-01-09, version 3.0.8* Love this game but there is a problem. The last 2 days, it will not let me finish a puzzle. Some random ad pops up and it will not let me close the ad no matter what I do. I have tried closing the app and reopening it but the always comes back. Very frustrating. I may have to delete the app if this cannot be fixed. Please fix this do not make me delete the app. ### 5/5 — Puzzle *2024-09-20, version 3.0.3* Great brain activity --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
