### 2/5 — Doesn't always work

*2026-06-18, version 5.7.04*

The app is great when it works, but most of the time now it just gets stuck on the advertisements and you watch the ad then it does nothing which then makes you close the app and reopen it and try again and watch it again for another three minutes. Time to move onto another app.

### 3/5 — Repetitive

*2026-04-25, version 5.7.02*

Great game but I noticed a lot of the same clues in different puzzles. A change up of clues would be nice.

### 4/5 — Previous user

*2026-03-09, version 5.7.01*

I deleted this app for a while and recently reinstalled it. I like the puzzles and am enjoying them once again.

### 4/5 — Great game vs too many ads

*2026-01-18, version 5.6.99*

The game is a five star except for the number of ads. Before a puzzle, after a puzzle, ad to see your errors, ad for each hint, even an ad to review your completed puzzle. I get the need for ads, you gotta pay somehow but ease up a bit.

### 3/5 — Good but,

*2025-09-27, version 5.6.95*

It’s a good crossword app but there are so many ads and ads get stuck and never end.  Lately I’ve just skipped and gone to another app.  Don’t advertisers know that long annoying ads are ineffectual?

### 2/5 — Ads

*2025-09-02, version 5.6.95*

The longest ads that don’t close. I am ok with ads but geez, on this app I have to restart it to escape ads

### 5/5 — Ever since update

*2025-07-24, version 5.6.93*

Ever since last update I can’t even open the app. Need I say more! Otherwise I loved the app

### 1/5 — Ads

*2025-06-16, version 5.6.92*

Ads are extremely intrusive and sometimes, we’ll probably mostly, are impossible to stop. The most frustrating app I’ve ever used. Time for me to delete. It has become absolutely unusable.

### 5/5 — GREAT PUZZLE(S)

*2025-06-05, version 5.6.92*

I love this app, had to reinstall because old one ran out. I’ve played these for years before I get out of bed in the morning. When I had to delete it I felt list! But then I found the update on the App Store. HURRAY! ❤️❤️❤️

### 5/5 — Fun!

*2025-06-01, version 5.6.92*

Great fun to play alone or on the phone with others.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Daily Puzzles

*2026-07-19, version 5.7.05*

ADS. Way too many and some won’t let me back into the puzzles. Deleted after years of play. Finally fed up.

### 1/5 — Scam?

*2026-05-08, version 5.7.03*

Downloaded the app. Every time I click on start for my supposedly daily puzzle I get an ad that I cannot get out of without closing the app. I’ve tried this now five different times with the same results. Now deleting the app.

### 1/5 — Ad goes on and on

*2026-04-15, version 5.7.02*

Ad ran more than a minute, then no option to exit except to go to the advertised game.

### 1/5 — Filled with ads

*2026-01-19, version 5.6.99*

I can’t even get to play a puzzle there are so many ads.   Once the ad plays there is nothing happening.   Awful waste of my time.

### 1/5 — Rating 4stars

*2026-01-03, version 5.6.99*

Enjoying the puzzles.

### 1/5 — Too problematic

*2025-10-18, version 5.6.96*

Too problematic - WAY too difficult to select specific letter spaces that you want to fill in!!!

### 1/5 — Does not let you play the ap

*2025-09-28, version 5.6.95*

If you like an app that only shows ads for other games, then this is for you. Maybe one of these days, it will let me play the crossword puzzle. Not paying unless I can try it.

### 1/5 — Horrible ads

*2025-09-13, version 5.6.95*

That’s all I have to say.

### 1/5 — Deleted not even 1 star

*2025-08-28, version 5.6.95*

Couldn’t get past ads to play even 1 game. Too frustrating deleted.

### 1/5 — Where the crossword

*2025-06-17, version 5.6.92*

Can I give a negative

### 5/5 — Penny dell daily crossword

*2026-01-21, version 5.6.99*

The ads are too long. Much too long and boring. People know in an instance if the add interests them. No need to go on and on and on. Some of the puzzles are crazy and use words that no one knows or ever heard of.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-01-12, version 5.6.99*

Just challenging enough.
