Misleading advertising

They are correct that it’s free to download and last time I did in fact download it free.
What they didn’t mention is that it NOT free to play.

Unable to change difficulty

Puzzle variety is good but some are too easy and there is no option to change the difficulty. In Cell Block there’s no instruction on how to choose an odd number of cells and I can’t work out how it works. Introductions are not clear.

Used to be great

This used to be literally the best puzzle app out there. You pay (in-game currency) to unlock a puzzle but get the same amount of coins rewarded once the puzzle is completed, so I never ran out, and you could go back to archived games from weeks you missed. Always fun and it was ad-free. Now I don’t know if it was a glitch that my version was ad-free, but all of a sudden I now get an ad after every puzzle I play, and it has truly ruined the experience. It was one of the only ad-free puzzle apps out there, I loved it and I would literally spent hours on it, but now it’s ruined. I hate this era of hounding users with ads.

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. I'm sorry to hear that are having difficulty accessing the Events puzzles! We are working to release version 1.2.4 of the Puzzler app as soon as possible, which will contain a fix for this problem. I'm so sorry for the inconvenience! If you would like to discuss this any further, or if you would like any more assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at puzzler@dcthomson.co.uk. Joanna, Customer Experience Team.

Good and Bad

I enjoy this app - the puzzles are good and I subscribe monthly. I was looking forward to the new ‘Event’ puzzles - a new feature in the latest update.
There’s a countdown clock now in the bottom corner of the home screen showing when the next ‘Event’ puzzles will be available but for several days now I’ve tried to open these new puzzles but NOTHING happens when you tap on them - they don’t work!! What could be great puzzle app is still only a good puzzle app. Developers- please fix this!

Now happy

I have been playing these games for months. There is a great selection of daily logic and word puzzles. They recently had a program error but that is now fixed.

Features Deleted!

Was really enjoying this app daily but now the last two days all games have disappeared and only Wordsearch and Cryptic Crossword remain? Will they come back or is this a way of trying to persuade me to subscribe?

Codewords

Why is this puzzle no longer available. It’s a really good game but now tells me I’m not connected to the internet, when in fact all my other devices are fine. It’s really disappointing.

Big disappointment

I had the iPad versions of some of these games where you could purchase additional packs and really enjoyed playing. This is a huge let down and the endless ads after each game drove me mad! Uninstalled it in the end

used to be okay

i liked the game design and the variety of games even though i would only mainly play 4 or 5 of the games. Recently the game just does not fully load, it goes straight to a screen with all the games and they’re stuck on the same one every day. Still does this after deleting and redownloading. Can’t tell if this is a glitch or the game is just supposed to be like this now, but can’t really play anymore

Please also make sure that you have a stable Wi-Fi connection. If you're still having problems with the app after this, please let us know! Joanna, Customer Experience Team.

Refused to work after viewing video

I was already disappointed that the old sudoku puzzler app was no longer supported as I loved it. Then I find this inferior replacement app which doesn’t have the same easy game play, isn’t designed for iPads and doesn’t offer the option to buy puzzles, you have to win coins or watch videos. I gave it a chance, watched a video to access a puzzle. And it just froze on the video, wouldn’t let me back to the puzzle. I have now deleted it. What a disappointment. Give us back our old apps!

Hi there, thank you for your feedback and for taking the time to review our Puzzler app. I'm sorry to hear that it's not working properly for you! You should be able to buy Puzzle Tokens in the shop page of the app, and you can use these to unlock different puzzles to play. You can also earn tokens by visiting the app each day. I hope that this helps, and I have passed your feedback along to our development team to review. In the meantime, would you be able to please check to ensure that your device doesn't need an update? Joanna, Customer Experience Team.

Awesome!!!!!!!!

Without a doubt, cruciverbalist’s favourite app. I miss the earlier version and its (annoying) theme music lol

Rewards not given.

Addicted to puzzler, I love doing the word search and cross words. However the daily tokens are never received, I’ll watch an ad to get more tokens and rarely do they actually come through.

great app, can’t play

i really enjoyed using this app when i first got it because each puzzle gave a reward of the amount it cost to play however after about a week it stopped rewarding me with that and now the only way to get tokens with which to play puzzles is to wait for my one free puzzle a day, buy tokens, or subscribe to the paid version which has drastically decreased my enjoyment of the app. instead of it being something to help me relax and have fun, i now have to wait an entire day between each puzzle and choose very carefully which puzzle i play each day. I am very disappointed and barely use the app anymore.
