This app used to be great until they stopped supporting it Go back in time two years and it gets five stars Today all you can get is weird British puzzles no offense to my London friends This is no longer what I paid for Searching for a new crossword app Stay Away Shrekory
It stopped working some time ago on my 4th Generation iPad I recently upgraded to an iPad Pro so thought I d give it another try Didn t work on initial startup so I deleted it and downloaded it again Still doesn t work Just repeatedly gives me a message about having trouble restoring purchases Stopped working JazzBass34
Like others my subscription is no longer being honored after this update Once I finish the puzzles I have I ll be looking for a new crossword app Not paying twice engineer1297
I paid 9 99 for a subscription on 6 10 16 like others here the latest update requires another purchase that s not going to happen Emailed customer service and apparently fell into a black hole no return communication at all STAY AEAY FROM THIS PRODUCT No customer service or satisfaction Ardeaitch
How disappointing I bought this app for the daily puzzles Stopped working and now I am expected to pay again I ll buy another app before I spend my money on the same companies app Paid once not twice Wedmed
I really enjoy this app for its interface on the crossword level The controls are really intuitive The subscribe issue is a little annoying but hopefully it will be fixed soon My son loves this app interface but wishes that it was available in an Android format because the interface is so natural Good Interface Ams pina4
of disgruntled customers who had already paid up once for full access and not only lost ongoing access to new versions but also access to previously downloaded puzzles in this upgrade If intentional unforgivable Why should I purchase again Fool me once shame on you Fool me twice Update issue NOT FIXED for me I paid to upgrade deleted the paid version when it stopped working in order to reinstall it could not reinstall the paid version and have to pay to upgrade the lite version Add me to the list JoeKoder
The latest update is a POS The app will no longer load any new puzzles Customer service of course blamed it on Apple They told me to delete the app and reload Now I have no puzzles at all It looks like the only way to download new puzzles is to subscribe If that is the new business model then just say so up front do not lie to us I was a subscriber for YEARS but no longer Boo Horrible Angry consumer
It is a nice app to work with and use if you enjoy crosswords Issue fixed willowlotus
Even this newest update no longer recognizes my previous purchase of 9 99 for the daily puzzles This was a great app worthy of 5 stars but these updates have nullified that rating I ve emailed support but no word as of yet Update Issue Jt&Bailey
Title says it all They want an upgrade to see puzzles you have already purchased Bad app update Got Greedy PHNC
Same problems as those already mentioned I paid 9 99 but can t get new puzzles without paying again Looking at other apps now Latest update is a bust beaglekids
Keeps assuming I never paid for full version I did Can no longer download latest puzzles Repeated issue Paid But JSimp
New version is asking me to pay 9 99 for new puzzles everyday which I had already previously paid for some time ago This makes a 5 star app a 1 now Please fix this mgbatt65
Great selection Not too hard but not too easy Good puzzles jeslau66
I ve always loved crossword puzzles I love this app because it allows me to play on the go Crosswords 196SAM
This app is easy to use free and challenging They got it right Would give it 5 stars if I could get more puzzles than just the ones it comes with But for what it is it s perfect Really good way to pass the time Mike_Hartygin
I am a novice crossword user and I must have downloaded a dozen or so apps searching for one that was compatible with the iPad Smart Keyboard Wish I had tried Crossword light sooner Most of the crossword apps will not work in Landscape mode let alone with a keyboard I am not sure why this is as I just assumed all of them would be compatible I am still discovering keyboard shortcuts but the need to use the touch screen is minimal Works with iPad Smart Keyboard Raecom
Good navigation Wide selection of puzzles Good navigation Xword puzzle
I had a few issues with it crashing when I toggled mid puzzle between the show error and regular modes Otherwise this is solid and reliable very enjoyable I will continue to use it over any of the other crossword apps I have Solid No-Gu Writer
I ve enjoyed this app The crosswords are not so hard that I spend hours on each They take about an hour total Great to just spend a few minutes as I have free time Never had any issues Fun app Angela_M
Not too hard yet challenging Love the puzzles Loves News
The puzzles are a great mix of contemporary culture and fun themes with just enough traditional puzzle clues to keep me interested Enjoyable way to exercise your brain WizardOfIz
Best free puzzle app Great puzzles Sdravan
App hasn t beeen updated in awhile Crashes constantly Don t bother Buggy not updated by developer GearChic
I am new to the app and so far I don t have any complaints I like the app I like the different levels easy to difficult to choose from Like the app Veron62
Far too many of the hints are extremely misleading And I am no noobie to crosswords Too many misleading hints ANickNameNoOneElseHas!

Does what it says Plenty of crossword puzzles with hints optional Straightforward game Billy chickens
Love the choices of puzzle difficulties Great app Savannah416
I have played Enough of a challenge to keep my interest but reasonable enough difficulty to figure it out Think it is great One of the best Mick's Nano 2012
Really like the app Works fine on iPhone I prefer a paper puzzle but this is great when I m out and have a few minutes to kill Crossword SM-Balt
I m not a great crossword puzzle solver but these puzzles I could finish using just a few helps I m hooked Finished my first 37 in a short time Ready for more Decent Crossword App Deena38
It s hard to find a good free crossword app for the iPhone This one appears to keep crashing Unfortunate Keeps crashing cute n quiet
Terrific and challenging Happiness Upper left edge resident
Good puzzles Tj Tray 1959
App started to crash within an hour of downloading despite rebooting etc Also the puzzles don t seem to have difficulty categories e g easy intermediate hard and the two puzzles I worked on before it started to crash were definitively not beginner friendly Buggy Not for Beginners Reviewer 987654321
Works well even offline Generous number of puzzles for free app Gbo-Harry
Best crossword app out there Love this app Lhoffm
Recently app freezes and won t open the list when in a crossword Buggy App freezes Valiance
Great way to spend the day working your puzzles Sometimes a little different ways to look at the clue answers My review Jump'in Joe
Started out fine then after a few times it freezes and or goes black and doesn t move Closed and reopened app and nothing happens wait later and maybe get one puzzle Crossword freezes or goes black Wild4Rock
Dont bother with this freezes up and goes blank Z Wow avoid
After downloading iOS 8 the app went crazy The key board went big and I could not get to my puzzles Also half the puzzle was hidden and could not be accessed I deleted the app and reloaded it After this I lost my puzzles Went to download them again and they started to purchase ones I did not want I hope I dont have to pay for them Very Dissapointed
Three quick updates and yet the broken functionality still hasnt returned Holding on the penpencil no longer converts the selected entry to one or the other Yes deleting a puzzle is fixed but this crucial feature remains unaddressed The app did get a bit more responsive with these releases and its still a very nice app otherwise STILL broken
After the latest update I cannot read the text on the help section Worked much better before Update has messed it up
This app was great before the IOS upgrade Cant find my past puzzles and the helpcheck puzzle feature is gone Please fix What happened
Seriously whoever made this app should get some kind of Nobel caliber award because everything about it is absolutely incredible Only problem is I cant imagine how I could ever live my life without it Its sad really but its true Ive had it for 4 years now and not a day has gone by that I did not use it The best Effin App ever
After the update I lost the ability to get 1 letter hints or entire word hints I am very disappointed Lost features
I love the app I am not having any of the errors Im reading about here but then again I am still using iOS 7 on my iPad mini Best free crossword puzzle app by far Great app
Ive solved all of the puzzles that are available when you first download the app but when you try to download a sample to decide wether or not you want to buy the whole package it says this may take a moment and it just wont download At this point the app is useless You click download sample and it immediately wants you to login and purchase it If you want to try a new puzzle package dont bother For the past MONTH and a half the only option it has given me is to purchase or get nothing at all UPDATE Same problem as a few months ago Are these developers still active on this app Sample puzzles
The builtin keyboard kept me from seeing thelast part of the puzzle Couldnt get it to go away when I tried to use my keyboard with iPad Mini Had to delete the app Good but couldnt see puzzle
Keep hitting the hint button when trying to type in the answers Much of the content is cultural references that only MUCH older people would get All around bad
Great app has every thing a cross word fan could want or need and it is free Download and enjoy Annemaree
Some of the clues arent quite right but overall it works well and is challenging Good fun
Great app Great selection of puzzles great functionality Excellent
It stopped downloading and thinks I didnt buy it anymore Grrrrrr Stopped working lost my sub
This is the only crossword app Ive found that has such a great library of puzzles a large number are available immediately and the ingame purchase packs are large and cheap enough not to feel like a ripoff Best crossword out there
Decent number of free puzzles to solve But theres a technical problem I keep running into Swapping clues from across to down is done by doubletapping any of the squares But every time I play I run into the issue of the double tap not working and I get stuck in either down or across orientation until the glitch decides to work Sometimes it takes several minutes of randomly tapping around the board until it finally starts working again Very frustrating Great but glitchy
Awesome appbeen using for over a year and love itplus its greenno paper crosswords anymore Crossword
I love the Crossword Light app and I use it every day Unfortunately the latest update is buggy I use the app on an iPad and I like to turn the iPad upside down in portrait mode With the new app in this position the graphics are messed up such that the puzzle list cannot be displayed and you cant scroll to the bottom of the clue list Also puzzles that I have deleted are still showing up in the puzzle list I still enjoy crosswords but please fix these bugs Great app buggy update
A lot of the hints are nonsense or completely subjective or confusing I enjoy the ones that are confusing when theres a double meaning but most of these are just grasping at straws They also dont tell you when theres more than one word which drives me nuts Who makes these
After the update puzzles I purchased are missing The Check for Purchases function did not work What a waste Update problems
In the puzzle produce results by Ben Tausig the clue is far right ideology and the answer is nazism FYI Ben Nazi which is short for Nationalsozialismus is the National SOCIALIST party a far LEFT organization You get an F for social studies I cant stand these libs who are either totally ignorant to history or try to rewrite it to promote their own agendas This game gets one star only because I couldnt give it ZERO stars F minus Get your facts right I dont take kindly to libsmorons making up history
I can no longer use the landscape option Also I cannot see the bottom half of the puzzles or clues Cannot get rid of the keyboard Please fix Used to Work Very Good Not now
I can do a quick crossword during commercials The puzzles are fun and funny Love this game
After the update the app no longer opens up I used to enjoy the puzzles but cant play anymore Wondering how to get my money back Used to work until update
Would be a great game for free but the abundance of typos kills it For example the clue was layer and the answer was notnow Makes me really worry about getting the pay version when the free one is so messed up with such obvious flaws So many typos
This app is wonderful except that Ive solved all of the free puzzles and cannot download any of the free samples After attempting to download it says this may take a moment but never successfully finishes even after ten minutes Sample Downloads
Very fun lots of puzzles ranging in difficulty Got me into crosswords
Many of the puzzles will not display it will only shows the list of clues I do not like that I can not clear all errors by holding down the backspace key on the keyboard I dont like that the clear all errors and clear current clue buttons have been swapped I do NOT like the update to the app I want to revert back to the previous version Vary angry with app update
The clues and solutions are crazy Example Meaty bit on salad 4 baco Not bacon baco What was the author Ben Tausig smokin Bizzare
Nothing like the nyt crossword Clues are way off base and oftentimes a big stretch They just dont have that je ne sais quoi that makes the puzzle come together and make sense be challenging and still solvable Clueless clues
Wasnt broke Dont know what they were trying to fix Incredibly slow and crashes all the time now Avoid Dont bother
I love the app but Im having trouble deleting completed puzzles now Newest update
I enjoy doing these puzzles for a short amount of time There are clues that are challenging and fun but there are always several clues in each puzzle that are terrible Many of the clues are poor Example The 3 Many answers are also annoying It seems as though the writer completed the puzzle and then Googled answers to see what he could make out of the random words left over These often end up being last names of irrelevant or super obscure people or words from foreign languages Ive done a lot of puzzles that are a good frustrating because theyre challenging but these are frustrating because the clues and answers are dumb Bad Clues and Obscure Answers
This app is fun and quote enjoyable but also irritating Most of the question clues are so old the information is not accurate When you try to get hints some ads dont work at all like the ninja turtles pizza slicer and some dont get an add option The app crashes randomly and doesnt offer description of what the icons are for Debatable on a five star
The hintsclues are terrible Dislike
I love this app but Ive done nearly all the puzzles More please Need more puzzles
Title says it all Worst crossword I have played
I used to love this game Now after some update the button to show wrong answers does not stay set to Yes Lame Show Incorrect Answers doesnt work
I generally enjoy these puzzles but some of the clues are so off the wall Also there is one puzzle in particular called Reel Copies wherein the theme clues all pertain to some film production company that produces blevel horror films I googled it Why in the world would any puzzle be based on some obscure collection of films that most people would never had heard of The quality of these puzzles are questionable I agree with Nahtamuseds review below
Worthless app Kicks you out while working on puzzle 3 or 4 times for each puzzle Have to start all over again Very annoying Crap
I love this app and use it daily Its great being able to switch between multiple puzzles Ive bought additional puzzle packs through IAP and have enjoyed the variety in authors topics and difficulties Also very appreciative of the easy and intuitive user interface Love this app
I enjoy the multitude of available crosswords to import Latest Update
This app as potential but I hate when I put in a word and it doesnt tell me wether its right or not I know that you usually do not know of the answer is right on real cross words but it would be so much easier if it did I also had trouble downloading samples to see if I wanted to get the full version Its okay
It is limited but good for keeping busy on the train or when you have to wait Good free app
Enjoyable but these puzzles seem to have a UK slant in its clues and answers that are foreign to others Pretty Good
This is my absolute favorite app I love to play it before bed With the latest update it crashes upon opening or if Im lucky and get the app to open it crashes on opening a current puzzle or trying to open a new one Will gladly give five stars if this is fixed Update ruined it
Reviewed this a couple of days ago with a 3star complaining mostly about the buttons under the keyboard that I kept hitting Now that I found the setting that moves those buttons to the top and makes them smaller Im MUCH happier This is a great intro crossword game Lots of good puzzles to start off and easy to upgrade to get more Review updated
Why would they put the hint list and other buttons so close to the keyboard I keep accidentally going to another tab when punching in letters Had to delete Gave an extra star because they have so many puzzles Frustrating
Ive tried many and this one continues to be my favorite with its simple layout and wonderful features Best Crossword App
