Initially was o.k with this as it is good fun and combines finding hidden objects with crosswords. However, I finished all the levels in less than a week....Was hoping for more, wasted money, not inclined to go back and redo the same puzzles again. ### 2/5 — Expensive for what you get! *2017-03-17, version 1.32* Being a fan of both hidden object games & crosswords, this seemed perfect for me. The trial appeared interesting, so I bought it. At almost $8, I thought it was pricey compared to other games. But I figured the other games were endless & had upgrades etc., so I just assumed this one would also. No. Not anywhere near enough levels to keep anyone interested for very long, and at that inflated cost, my advice is, DON'T DO IT! ### 3/5 — Nice game,but!! *2016-01-31, version 1.32* Liked this game ,but cannot play it because the beautiful butterfly is so distracting. What was supposed to be a help ,was for me a hindrance. ### 4/5 — Great Game Concept *2016-01-21* I absolutely love this game. The mix of crossword puzzle and hidden object finds are ingenious. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is there are never any new puzzles. This is one of my favorites, but I've played over and over so much that I have it all memorized. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE MAKE MORE PUZZLES. I would gladly pay for them. ### 4/5 — Hidden Object Crosswords *2015-07-19* I have played HOC and enjoyed each puzzle. I have also recommended it to friends. Now I only want more crosswords to be added. I am tired of all being the same. ### 4/5 — A bit inaccurate *2015-06-02* Good game and enjoy playing it; however, I have noticed that the calculation of "misses" is inaccurate at the end of the game...always assessing more than manually calculated. No big deal, just thought the developer may want to take a look... ### 5/5 — HOC *2015-05-16* Challenging and fun! ### 5/5 — Fun game, beautifully crafted *2015-04-29, version 1.32* A fun game, good for passing odd moments, has lovely pictures and challenging puzzles. Error introduced by iOS 8.3 has now been corrected. ### 2/5 — Hidden object crossword had *2015-04-20, version 1.31* Could be a good game but cannot get objects on right side of screen. ### 2/5 — Needs updating *2015-04-14, version 1.31* I have had this app for several years and now, since the last iOS update any tap on the left side of the screen will not work. This means levels cannot be finished and the whole game is useless. Please update. ### 4/5 — Crashes on iPad Air... *2015-04-06, version 1.31* When I used a hint, tapped on the answer, and tapped the letter giving bug on another clue, it revealed the answer to the other clue but before a second passed it crashed. I played this on my iPad Air... Please fix this so it won't crash at all. ### 2/5 — Paid for what? *2015-02-15, version 1.31* While I like playing the game very much, enough to purchase "full" version...did I actually pay $4.99 for only 18 stages or 54 games of play? I feel ripped off. ### 5/5 — Great word and puzzle game *2015-01-19* This is one of the most enjoyable games I've downloaded. After playing a sample level I purchased the full version for $4.99 and it was worth every penny - beautiful artwork, puzzles and riddles to solve to fill in the crosswords (even if you guess a word from the riddle or clue, you must find the word-object in the scene for it to count), pleasant background music. My only complaint is that some objects were so small or oddly drawn that it was impossible to find them in a scene. And how refreshing not to have ads pop up or have to buy credits or hints to finish a level - what you buy is what you get. (Hints are built in and free.) I finished all the levels in 2 days -- I just wish there were more. ### 4/5 — Hoc h.d *2015-01-11, version 1.31* Really good entertaining little game. If you like crosswords or word games this is definitely the game to choose! I've been playing for hours and not tired of it yet. ### 5/5 — One of the better hidden object games *2014-11-12, version 1.31* Works great after the glitches were fixed. Some of the clues were a little weird, but is still fun to play. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Feeling cheated ! *2018-10-04* I like the game but $4.99 and no new games what a farce. What buy any more games from this site. ### 1/5 — Fix it! *2015-10-17* Tried the free version, and it was fun, but I could play only the first game of each level. So I purchased the full game. I still can't get beyond the first game in each level. I won't be purchasing more from this company if they can't fix it or provide a refund. ### 1/5 — Real glitch right now! *2014-11-01, version 1.2* I love this game, but the recent update on 10/30/14 has made the game unplayable, 1/3 of the screen is black. The right side will not load and you are unable to play. Please fix ### 1/5 — Won't open *2014-10-18, version 1.1* What's the point of downloading a game that won't open? Disappointing. ### 1/5 — Can't Get Past First Stage *2014-10-01, version 1.1* Got thru first 3 levels just fine, but all the Stages are locked. What's the point to download if you only get to play 3 crosswords? ### 1/5 — Won't open.. *2013-10-28, version 1.1* Just sits there, no matter where I tap or touch. No settings, no instructions. Nothing.. A big waste of time. ### 1/5 — HOC HD *2013-03-24, version 1.1* Too expensive per level ### 1/5 — You Are Kidding, Right *2013-02-25, version 1.0* I paid for this game, finished all the 18 levels in two days, get a few spindly fireworks, and that's it? No high score, no more levels coming? no leader boards, no nothing! I'd expect this type of game for free! Pathetic excuse for a paid for game!!! I'm still shaking my head! Come in spinner! People, DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! ### 1/5 — Nah *2012-09-23, version 1.0* Only lets you play one free game, then to continue you have to purchase. Shouldn't be listed under free app ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2012-01-23, version 1.0* Paid for the full version of the app, and instead it erased all the previous levels I have done, and now is simply asking for me to buy the full version again. Emailed support, no response. Liked the game, but poor support makes it not worth the money, and especially not to buy it again, as now I can't even play it anymore past the first 3 levels, which I have already done! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love the sound of the chalk on the chalkboard-so relaxing. *2023-11-22, version 1.33* Fun, relaxing game. ### 5/5 — Love it *2023-03-25, version 1.33* Love crosswords love H.O games ### 5/5 — Makes you think *2022-11-24* Great for making use your brain. But some items are hard to identify due to item not quite looking like the hint ### 5/5 — Awesome *2022-10-23, version 1.33* I’ve been trying for ages to find a game that fulfills me and I have now found, I love this game would highly recommend I’m addicted you must get this or at least try and find for yourself. Brilliant ### 5/5 — Fantastic Game!!! *2021-07-30* This is the BEST Game idea ever! ### 5/5 — Addictive *2020-05-22* I bought this game yesterday. Can’t put it down. I love doing crosswords I love playing HOB games. This game allows for me to do both at the same time. 🥳 ### 5/5 — Best Hidden Object Game *2020-05-13* It’s my favorite hidden object game by far and that’s because of the crossword. Having to figure out the item/word in order to know what to look for is outstanding. Every hidden object game is about the same but this makes it stand out and brings fun back to its game type. ### 5/5 — Great *2019-06-05, version 1.33* Much better than normal hidden object. ### 5/5 — HOC *2018-02-01* 1 February 2018 I downloaded this app awhile ago but didn’t play it until today. I didn’t want to get started on something else until I was ready but when I saw this app I knew I wanted to have the app at my fingertips for when I was ready. Today, I’m ready. I was so disappointed to realize that there were only 3 Chapters which were free! Rats! Double Rats! I had really started to get into this game when BAM ... THE END!! I felt so disappointed. I also felt ripped off in that I downloaded a FREE version of an app and was teased to buy more chapters right off the bat! I enjoy playing this type of game very much! I really do. Then BAM! The END!! Was that really necessary to do so soon in the game? Gee whiz guys! I noticed from the other comments that others mentioned that there weren’t as many puzzles as they thought there would be. That too, is disappointing. My hope is that you will come back again to offer more free puzzles. I don’t have the capability to purchase a full version of the apps of this version or any other apps offered from the App Store. I doubt that will change either. That’s the facts and that’s just the way it is. I do so enjoy your puzzles, that’s for sure! Keep them coming? Gayle Brown ### 5/5 — Love this game!!! *2015-09-12* This game is a different kind of hidden object because you have to find the hidden object from a crossword puzzle clue. I had so much fun with it that I bought the game!!! But, I have one problem with it, I have found misspelled words!!! How can that be on a word puzzle?? Please fix these errors and give more levels!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
