### 4/5 — Dell puzzles

*2017-04-24, version 2.1*

Need some harder ones.

### 4/5 — Good But Lacking One Feature

*2016-11-14, version 2.1*

The puzzle itself is excellent, however, it lacks the feature to erase the puzzle.  So, if a member of your family solves a puzzle, no one else can use that puzzle again.

### 4/5 — Very enjoyable

*2016-08-10, version 2.1*

I love puzzles with variable difficulties and this collection suites me just fine. keep up the good work.

### 4/5 — Crosswords

*2016-06-13, version 2.1*

Good fun, like the levels of difficulty.

### 5/5 — Top Crossword App

*2016-02-22, version 2.0.0*

None better!

### 5/5 — Dell crosswords

*2016-01-05, version 2.0.0*

The perfect puzzles.

### 5/5 — Best Crossword App

*2015-12-24, version 2.0.0*

Lots of puzzles in levels rated accurately. Great way to keep my mind sharp and expand my vocabulary from my phone. Navigation is easy. Instructions and clues are helpful. Hours of fun. Wordsmiths will love it!

### 4/5 — PennyDell Crosswords

*2015-11-16, version 2.0.0*

Pretty good price for all of the puzzles you get. The bad thing is that you have to go to each puzzle to BUY the alternate clues. It should come with it. You could put a couple more Hard puzzles in the mix! Other than those two things, it's fun to pass the time with.  Keep it up. You could also make the sets a bit bigger. It takes me about a week to finish them all. I am disabled and do not have much to do. Overall I rate it a 4!

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2015-11-14, version 2.0.0*

Love doing crosswords. Helps keep my mind sharp since I retired. Good deal for $9.99 compared to what you'd pay at Books A Million or one of those stores.

### 5/5 — Dell/Penny Crossword Puzzles

*2015-08-02, version 2.0.0*

Cannot get enough of these puzzles. 

Great for the brain.

### 5/5 — Best

Best crossword app ever.  Can build skills from easy to hard.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2015-05-25, version 1.3*

Very easy to maneuver and the best feature is that the letters are large and bold.

### 5/5 — Not puzzled at all

*2015-05-04, version 1.3*

This is fun! I like the ability to see if I've made mistakes. If this helps keep me sharp and keep dementia or Alzheimer's away, I'm all for that

### 1/5 — Too easy. How to cancel

*2017-01-25, version 2.1*

Even the hard are too easy for me. How do I cancel my purchase?  Disappointing that hard isn't hard

### 1/5 — Annoying Splash Screen

*2015-04-19, version 1.3*

Good program with lots of puzzles. I gave it a 1 star rating only because of the annoying splash-screen at the end of each game wanting me to write a review!

### 2/5 — Okay

*2015-04-27, version 1.3*

Puzzles are ok but not very challenging.

### 2/5 — Don't get the same as sample

*2014-05-04, version 1.3*

The puzzles are good but I only gave it two stars because I think it is just wrong to charge additional costs. You get alternate clues in the sample but have to pay for them after already paying for the puzzles.

### 2/5 — Fun

*2014-04-22, version 1.3*

Fun puzzles for use while watching tv!

### 3/5 — A bit pricey.

*2015-03-23, version 1.3*

Overall it's ok.

### 3/5 — Fun!

*2015-03-04, version 1.3*

Just like the print copies except it'll show you errors if you make them. Don't know if it was worth the cost though- hence the 3 stars.

### 3/5 — Puzzle

*2014-11-16, version 1.3*

Ok

### 3/5 — Review

*2014-09-16, version 1.3*

Need better quicker up and down switching, not very clear. The puzzles are slightly to hard. How about built in dictionary as your hints. These are hard for older people, thought I was getting easier puzzles. Will try a different brand next time.

### 3/5 — Review

*2014-07-08, version 1.3*

Fun, but a bit easy.  I wish there were more puzzles and they would auto prompt for more.

### 5/5 — Enjoyable, but maybe a little harder?

*2017-06-06, version 2.1*

I love crosswords, but I like a puzzle that bites back -- the kind where I have to put it down for a while before I stomp on my iPad.  

That said, these are good puzzles, for the most part.  I gave it five stars for the ease of use, the okay difficulty, and the wonderful time-wasting bonus.
