### 1/5 — Deleting ASAP

*2026-07-24*

Disgusting ads. Newest one is a nearly naked girl grinding on a pole. JFC

### 5/5 — Wow

*2026-06-09*

I mean the integrity of my crossplay games is completely toast now but cool app

### 5/5 — I really like it but ….

*2026-06-02*

I really like using it when I am stuck during a game and love the opportunity to learn from it but the ad never ends. I have to close Helper to move past it.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect solver

*2026-04-24*

Ha! Useful when you're 'stuck', indeed. This is like a nuke in the hand of a rogue country. It's easy to tell when an opponent is using it, and many are. Good reason to quit playing Crossplay.

### 3/5 — Great, except for the terrible ad experience

*2026-04-22*

Fullscreen ads take over from time to time, which would not be a problem except they cannot be closed without quitting the app. This is a broken experience.

**Developer response:** Unfortunately ad vendors are making full screen ad experiences worst and worst every year. Most of them have a way to close them, but it can be a little convoluted. We do offer a 1 time purchase that will remove ads forever and costs less then lunch will today. (Note: we will likely move to a subscription in the future, so grab this deal now if you want it.)

### 2/5 — App can’t discern O and I

*2026-04-20*

Consistently misreading O and I, and in order to change it you have to watch another ad. Looks to be by design, it was working fine previously.

**Developer response:** Please email us a screenshot with the issue and we can take a look at it.  support@firecrackersw.com

### 1/5 — Be careful

*2026-04-13*

Horrible app and it’s creepy

### 2/5 — Needs work

*2026-03-29*

The importing does not load and it takes too many attempts to bring in the puzzle from the pic

### 1/5 — Full Access to Photos?

*2026-03-28*

Why can we not limit access to photos? Seems very creepy that you require full access and don’t let people limit what you can and can’t access. What are you doing with our photo data?

### 1/5 — Not Great - Ads Ruin it

*2026-03-26*

Works good until an add completely wipes out what you are doing, causing you to start over. Very annoying and too frequent.
