Community Insight:
Really do enjoy this app but sometimes the clues… And maybe it's just us.
Either our app doesn't download puzzles daily or the app just doesn't have daily(or more) puzzles. We don't mind paying for coins but it's bad if we feel joyous because a new puzzle appears. That should come standard.
Fun but stinks that to do a puzzle costs coins.
We tried all the crossword apps and like this on as well as any other. Most are too easy or too hard (NYC Times).
Good puzzles from several authors. We recommend this app.
Like this site a lot. Can pick a level of difficulty to fit our brain energy at the time.
Love them! With a little thought, can be easily completed.
Easy to navigate. Really great game.
Works well, fun puzzles, what more could you ask for.
Love the puzzles. Frustrated with payment and denials.
Great puzzles we wish the had more :).
A good challenge do get us through the day.
The puzzles are fun and challenging.
We have tried a few different crossword apps and this is our favorite one.
Game is fun but can be difficult, brush up on dictionary skills.
Great assortment of puzzles, some more challenging than others, but overall a very fun crossword app.
Some of the puzzles are better than others. And it stinks that there's such a limit on what you can play without purchasing coins or watching videos, but we like that there are a variety of contributors and that they're listed. We definitely have our favorites.
We enjoy this app as a relaxation tool. We just wish it was completely free.
Fairly easy puzzles, but entertaining nonetheless.
Great app insomuch as the quantity and difficulty levels of the puzzles, but they could be a little more lax on how much they expect people to pay, or watch a video to do a puzzle.
We hate the coin nonsense. We enjoyed having a new puzzle every Monday, but someone has a great idea of coins.
The last update was a disappointment. We don't like that you have to pay to play..especially since the icon has the word FREE across the front. Update 12/18/16 Was having trouble finding a time when videos were available to earn points. Then when the opportunity was there the video crashed, then dropped us out of the game. Deleted and reloaded the app but same thing happened. Then suddenly today it worked so??? We enjoy the puzzles when we can, but not our favorite because of having to watch ads which are not always available. We guess we're too cheap to buy when there are other programs available for free.
Not many you can do without paying or watching a bunch of ads.
We're a pretty decent crossworder, but it took us over an hour and a half to complete just the first puzzle due to repetitive crashes and lost progress. Also mysteriously disappearing words already filled in. This would be a five star review but for these issues that basically make it unplayable.
Wish it was free but great pass timer.
Good crossword, entertaining fun. Somewhat challenging, but not super difficult.
Tiene temas muy interesantes, divertido y buen diseo. Us gusta mucho.
Works great so far. Don't mind watching ads, don't want to buy "coins" for something advertised as free. Content of clues very good.
Enjoy working these crossword puzzles.
Good, we Can Keep Up our German Language and knowledge of our learnings in school and life.
It's a rather big puzzle for an iPhone 5, but the puzzles are challenging gong enough and still enjoyable.
We really enjoyed this app because the puzzles were great and if you run out of coins to buy them, you can watch quick videos to earn them.
Crosswords are a difficult interface for a small device. You have to fit most or all of the puzzle and the clues and a keyboard. Nicely done by this app. But we're trying to learn Spanish and both the clues and answers are in Spanish at a level above what we can do. Maybe after we get better at it we'll come back and try again.
This is a nice app to pass the time when wanting to do some crosswords.
The puzzlers are not to easy and not too hard. U can get help if needed. Love that it skips over letters already there. It would get 5 stars if u didn't need coins to play but we understand why they do it. It just limits the number of puzzles u can play in a day.
Love the varied puzzle writers. Wish we could play all of them.
Fun and often challenging puzzles.
We lk forward to working these puzzles every single day. They are always interesting and just challenging enough for us…not too difficult and not too easy. Bravo to the clever creators.
Love playing and unlike a lot of games out there gives you the option to watch videos to earn coins. So no money out of your pocket :).
It does the job. But can be tricky at times.
We like the level of difficulty of these puzzles. Sometimes other apps tend to be too easy. We like how the puzzle skips completed squares when you're in the pen mode but allows you to write over responses when you're in the pencil mode.
Like that it has only crossword puzzles and not a bunch of other word games like most apps have. If we wanted other types, we'd search for them.
We like the interface. We just wish there were fewer ads to watch to get access to the puzzles.
A lot of these crossword apps are ridiculously easy and juvenile – this one has a good level of difficulty without becoming "New York Times Sunday" impossible.
Fun puzzles. Not too difficult but challenging enough for us when waiting in airports or on the train. Buying coins are a bit of a pain. We'll probably just go ahead and buy a pack.
We love beyond all measure the multilingual feature of this app, but it doesn't save any of our answers if we have to stop playing for a while or want to pick it up after work again, and the app crashes a lot. We're still so in love with the language feature that we'll keep using it, we just hope they can fix those issues. :).
Love the varieties available. Keep it coming.
Like this a lot (other than having to pay to play).
Love the new options! Now able to do more without purchase.
Puzzles are excellent & we love the app…just wish we didn't have to purchase/earn coins to "buy" the puzzles!!! Wish there was a totally free crossword puzzle app.
