Some of the best I've played. Having to use/buy coins to play is downside. Rather have to watch an ad like other apps. Only reason I didn't give a 5 star ### 3/5 — Ok good *2017-11-03, version 10.0* I don't line the new coin system and many of the clues are strange, but a couple of the designers are great ### 2/5 — Good puzzles, coins are dumb *2017-10-22* Like the format, once I switched to pencil that is. And puzzles are not too hard but entertaining. I'll end up deleting it tho because it's essentially a pay app with a brief trial period. Dollars or ads but won't let you watch very many ads, so unless you want to buy it's not functional. Seems wildly expensive too. ### 4/5 — Great crosswords but not free! *2017-10-03* Love these crosswords. I’ve been playing other crossword apps that aren’t nearly as challenging or fun. The downside is that they use ‘coins’ and you have to purchase those. Not good! ### 2/5 — Needs improvement *2017-09-24* The iPad version of this app is not responsive when in-play, and it also frequently crashes. Coin-system deters consistency in playability, since one has to wait a few days to earn free coins. Paying for coins could be more appealing IF the app did not crash as frequently and if the play was more responsive. ### 5/5 — Fun *2017-07-28, version 10.0* Very good puzzles. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Great crossword app *2017-07-28* Great puzzles and easy navigation in the app, highly recommend ### 3/5 — Okay *2017-07-20* Pretty good game ### 4/5 — Good *2017-07-15, version 10.0* Like the puzzles. I don't like the coin thing. ### 3/5 — Filling in *2017-06-23* I would like to be able to type the whole word in instead of having to look and see what letters are missing. Not wild about the coin thing either! ### 4/5 — Fun *2017-06-21, version 10.0* It's fun, simple crosswords. Amusing way to pass the time. Unfortunately, waiting to get coins is annoying. ### 4/5 — I miss the old format *2017-06-21* This was my favorite app prior to the update. The new format is harder to navigate. I also miss the weekly puzzle. ### 3/5 — Great puzzles, coins annoying *2017-06-15* I tend to get on a roll and do several puzzles in a row. Can not do with this as you have to work too hard to get coins-or pay for it. ### 4/5 — Fun app *2017-06-09* App is good and sometime challenging Sometimes clues could be much better. Coin thing is a real drag and should be dropped or revised ### 5/5 — Crossword *2017-06-08, version 10.0* Great puzzles fun to play. Need to get rid of coin thing ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Srarita *2018-12-26, version 18.0* Won’t open on new iPad. I have 90 coins. Will I ever see them again? ### 1/5 — TVee *2017-06-15, version 10.0* App is disappointing. Must have "coins" to play consistently. ### 1/5 — Good, But could be better *2017-05-03* Puzzles are good, but the whole coin thing is annoying. Sometimes you have to wait a day or two just for the ability to watch a bunch of ads so you can get enough coins to get a puzzle. I supplement this crossword with a few others since it is the only way to get consistent puzzles when I want. ### 1/5 — New version is worse *2016-06-10* Liked the old format and purchased puzzles. Not going to be using this app with the new version. Disappointed and dissatisfied. ### 1/5 — Poor upgrade *2016-04-27, version 6.1* I used to love this app, especially the free weekly crossword, but I really don't like it since the upgrade. The crosswords are not as good and you have to either pay or watch ads to have enough points to play. 🙁 ### 1/5 — Why the change?? *2016-03-29, version 2.1* Don't like the new format, don't understand why the change. ### 1/5 — Hate it *2016-03-27, version 2.1* Much loved the old version of crosswords. Hate that I have to connect to Internet for some features. Why did u do this! ### 1/5 — Crap *2014-10-19, version 1.6* If I could give it 0 stars, I would. I can't unlock the next levels even though all of the previous are complete. No guidance available on how to unlock. If impossible, call the free app a taster instead of pretending the game is accessible. False advertising! ### 1/5 — Avoid! *2014-05-01, version 1.5* Paid for extra packages months ago and the app just keeps crashing - creators don't seem to care now that they have my money. ### 1/5 — Unfortunate crashes *2014-02-27, version 1.4* I LOVE CROSSWORDS!!!!! But I haven't been able to experience this app. Why? Because it crashes on the very first screen that comes up every single time I try to open it. It doesn't even reach the menu screen!!! PLZ FIX THIS PROBLEM TO FEED MY HUNGER FOR CROSSWORDS!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😖😫 😋 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun *2018-02-09, version 11.0* Good game. ### 5/5 — Best Crossword Puzzle App Ever! *2017-11-08* I’ve tried all the apps I can find. First, Most are overly expensive. This one is reasonable and affordable. Second, the puzzles strike a balance between logic and challenge, making them fun. Third, the app itself works. Some puzzles do weird things like jump around or get larger or smaller etc when you touch the phone screen. I think stuff like that is a developer issue. So, I guess this app has better developers. Overall, I like it best. Have to force myself to stop playing. ### 5/5 — Great *2017-10-22, version 10.0* I have enjoyed doing the puzzles. The have provided a good challenge. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2017-10-12* On my bus ride off I always play this game. It helps pass the time. ### 5/5 — Nice diversion *2017-09-01, version 10.0* Enjoying ### 5/5 — Crossword *2017-08-28* My absolute favorite! I love working crossword puzzles and I love this app. Once I start a puzzle I can't stop until I finish it. They are very challenging. I never tire of working these puzzles. ### 5/5 — Great app *2017-08-27, version 10.0* Great app ### 5/5 — Great app *2017-08-26, version 10.0* Puzzles are great! The crosswords range from hard to medium. ### 5/5 — Muy bueno *2017-08-24, version 10.0* Excelente juego ### 5/5 — Challenging *2017-08-16, version 10.0* Good app. Good variety and challenging as well. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
