Please fix this issue. ### 5/5 — Better than doomscrolling *2026-05-17, version 1.6.6* Much more dopamine friendly than doom scrolling ### 5/5 — Lovely *2026-05-15, version 1.6.6* Brilliant and gets the brain going ### 2/5 — Very slow *2026-05-14, version 1.6.6* Using iPhone 14 Pro Max, yet have to wait at least one second when pressing keyboard for key to be entered. ### 3/5 — Just new *2026-05-01, version 1.6.6* Just installed this game. Have seen 1 advert and I’m on level 16 or so. That’s great…so far. The colour change didn’t work for me sadly. Overall, I’m happy so far. If my experience changes for the better as I move along, of course I’ll give more stars. Early yet 😉 ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-04-26, version 1.6.6* Works extremely well The levels are very precise and appropriate. A nice app to keep your brain young and avoid Alzheimer’s. ### 5/5 — Difficult *2026-04-11, version 1.6.6* Great crossword makes you think and earning clues as you play is a huge help. Fun too. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-03-30, version 1.6.6* Great to keep the brain active and fill in time. ### 5/5 — Best crosswords app *2026-03-29, version 1.6.6* Annoying ads kept to a minimum, loads of crosswords in many difficulty levels, it goes on to the next word when you guess right, so you don’t have to keep wondering if it’s the right word or not, and I have yet to receive a request for payment to keep playing, so it’s a no brainer ### 3/5 — More content needed *2026-03-17, version 1.6.6* Please can we have some crosswords, nearly finished them all ### 5/5 — nice *2026-03-03, version 1.6.6* i became more intelligent ### 5/5 — любимая прога *2026-02-28, version 1.6.6* Можно, если сбрасываешь сразу все уровни, их снова не покупать, пж… Всё ещё жду добавление словарика и новых уровней в лёгкой категории До сих пор любимая игра🥰 ### 3/5 — PLEASE UPDATE! *2026-02-26, version 1.6.6* The fact that it’s free and ad-free is brilliant, it’s hard to find a decent puzzle app that doesn’t bombard you with ads that ruin the flow of your game. But it loses stars based on the lack of updates regarding new puzzles. I’ve finished half of the difficulty levels but no new crosswords have been added which has been disappointing. ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-02-21, version 1.6.6* Love it, best for brain exercise ### 5/5 — Cube stack 123 *2026-02-15, version 1.6.6* Great puzzle. Pushes mind to think of words ### 5/5 — Best ever *2026-02-13, version 1.6.6* So unproblematic, works offline, rational use of ads. 10/10. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Dosent make sense *2026-06-13, version 1.6.6* A lot of the words make zero sense. Honestly think it might be AI made ### 1/5 — Annoying *2026-06-06, version 1.6.6* I’m not sure if it’s a bug or intentional but I struggle to delete a letter, in some cases it allows it, but not all the time. And it’s really annoying. It feels like I’m being used to test the app. ### 1/5 — Confined (to a hospital or prison) *2026-05-29, version 1.6.6* How dare they call inpatients inmates 🤬🤬🤬 ### 1/5 — Hidden agenda? *2026-02-05, version 1.6.6* Who knew crosswords could be zionist? Not me until I downloaded this app. Use at your own risk ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2024-12-29, version 1.6.2* Changed everything just to score more clicks per game. I’m outa here. There are other better crossword games to play! Pure click bait… ### 1/5 — company doesnt care *2024-12-17, version 1.6.2* many emails sent to try and get my account fixed, what a joke ### 1/5 — was great now bad *2024-10-21* loved this game but after i went from iphone 7- iphone 12 i lost all my stars i had collected, tried contacting support and no answer, tried deleting game and reinstalling but still no stars, had over 2300 of them now gone, also daily rewards of stars for logging in and playing also gone, shame cause it was a good game ### 1/5 — Rubbish hints *2024-08-18, version 1.5.8* EG: “the time between dawn and noon” is apparently “morning,” but in actual fact, it’s the entirety of [am] that is referred to as morning, as well as the fact that some people say ‘morning, afternoon, evening and night. Hints need to be universally useful and accurate. There were a couple of others which were poor hints too. These were in the first 3 easy puzzles. I’m not going to spend hours staring at more difficult crosswords because creators can’t figure out good hints. ### 1/5 — Really screwy answers on puzzles on the MORE link *2024-07-08, version 1.5.8* If I could give this joke of a crossword puzzle game a negative rating I would. The initial puzzle offerings are fine. Once you finish a level, like easy level, and click MORE to do more puzzles, the AI generated puzzles are always at the hard level no matter which level you pick. Then you get to waste your stars on clues no one can figure out. Examples: Take a little off your hair - Answer: LAVENDER Encephalitis is _ of the brain: Answer: PORTUGAL Just a couple examples, but there are more. I’d say play the puzzles in the level you like, then delete the game. ### 1/5 — Egregiously Bad English *2024-04-07, version 1.5.6* A crossword should be a practice of one’s intellect, here the only brain games was trying to decipher the authors descriptions. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Perfect. Simple and classic. *2026-08-25, version 1.6.6* 10/10 game, no annoying ads or popups, only ads are optional ones to get a hint etc. Lots of well organised levels with different difficulties, friendly user interface and really easy to navigate. Doesn’t eat your battery, ask for purchases or need Wi-Fi. Does what it says, and it does it very well! ### 5/5 — Enjoying *2026-08-22, version 1.6.6* Love this game. Different levels and themes, plus it’s not American for a change! ### 5/5 — Fran *2026-07-28, version 1.6.6* Love the large clear lettering ### 5/5 — Good *2026-07-10, version 1.6.6* Minimal adds and loads Of puzzles ### 5/5 — ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Addictive in the best way! 🧩 *2026-06-20, version 1.6.6* Great clues, fun challenges, and the perfect way to keep my brain active. I always tell myself “just one more crossword” and somehow an hour disappears! Highly recommend for puzzle lovers ### 5/5 — Good *2026-06-20, version 1.6.6* Good!!(･ω･)b ### 5/5 — Overall very nice App. *2026-06-01, version 1.6.6* I have a very positive review for this app. No ads. UI is also very nice. One think I would suggest is to improve UI in such a way we can use stylus pen to write. It would make the feel more surreal. ### 5/5 — crosswords *2026-05-30* It’s so fun but it’s a bit too hard for some of the words for a 9 year old （╹◡╹） ### 5/5 — Worth a try *2026-05-28, version 1.6.6* Has many different skill levels, easy to use, very few ads, lots of game options, easy to see ### 5/5 — Great, more crosswords!!! *2026-05-21, version 1.6.6* Love this game!! The best crossword game out there. I would like to request more avengers, disney, game of thrones, Harry Potter, rock and tv shows crosswords pleeeease!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
