### 3/5 — Only get 20 puzzles free

*2025-03-21, version 4.0.0*

Only get 20 then have to purchase expansion pack

### 5/5 — Any more crosswords

*2024-10-24, version 4.0.0*

Hi I have just finished the 72 crosswords with the in app purchase is there anymore crosswords available as I’m really enjoying it so far as I don’t like word search and I have finished please add some more crosswords as soon as possible please thanks

### 3/5 — Stagnant

*2024-05-15, version 4.0.0*

This could be a better game if you would update it.  No new crossword’s for a very long time.  I keep having to erase a completed puzzle.  Please update the app.

### 1/5 — Terrible interface

*2023-12-30, version 4.0.0*

It is terrible designed. Visuals are bad and overdone. Like it was designed for an old television game. I get the idea...but you can't do that on a phone. The controls and interactions are not intuitive. Go look at other crossword apps. This one is sub par in the clue switching and entering but horrible in the menuing and finding options. Why is the hint buried in menus and called "help me?" Things you think are "cute ideas" do not help users when they are used to a thing. Worst thing??? When you need a hint to get the last word on a puzzle...it never tells you what the answer was! Seriously! Who designed that user experience? I'll give it one star for content.

### 1/5 — Would be five stars if not for annoying crash

*2021-07-20*

I was just finishing a word search when this stupid app crashed for NO reason

### 4/5 — Love it

*2021-03-21, version 2.1*

Great crossword puzzle

### 4/5 — Fun

*2020-07-19, version 2.1*

Very easy to use and both easy and hard clues.  You have to be current and historical.

### 4/5 — Fun & Challenging

*2020-05-22, version 2.1*

Lots of fun, enough of a challenge without being difficult.

### 3/5 — One complaint

*2020-03-15, version 2.1*

Great, except that the options button is where the backspace would normally be, so it’s very frustrating hitting out of habit, and having to be shown the menu bar. I would recommend switching the two buttons on the game’a keyboard.

### 5/5 — Good

*2020-01-31, version 2.1*

Really educational
