Community Insight:
The care which is included in the setup of all your puzzles is very appreciated. Always trying to bring us enjoyment.
Oh we are so happy to find this game. We always played this game when we were younger in the NY Daily News with our father It brings back such wonderful memories! Im so very happy to find this.
This game is so fun. And keeps us using our brain. Thank you.
Love playing all of Davids, games. They are relaxing and challenging and we also learn something new all the time.
Ive played this for years but a couple of days ago the app wouldnt open. We finally deleted it and downloaded it again. Now the open screen comes up and then its a black screen and nothing more happens. Is there a fix for this? Problem fixed. Thanks.
The very bestalways has been and always will be.
This is by far our favorite of all of Davids games, and we play all of them. Its the first thing we do everyday. The questions and clues are diverse and Ive learned some interesting facts just from the daily answers to the final questions. Once you start this game youll get hooked on it too! Thanks David for a great game experience.
Ive been playing for 3 days & we are truly enjoying it. Only playing the Easy puzzles so far getting familiarized w/ the games rhythm.
We met your parents ..walking by their place the other day.. And we are now a jumble junkie.
This game has always regularly added puzzles, but now they are about to run out. Soon wont be able to play 3 or 5 puzzles a day to get the bonus coins when the offer pops up.
We love this game but we just switched phones and lost our daily streak despite playing it twice on two separate phones. Can anything be done.
We play everyday, however, the game doesnt acknowledge. Give it up o correct, or dont you want to give up the points.
Challenging but fun. Different levels increase in difficulty makes you think.
Battling Alzheimers and trying to keep our brain from rotting any quicker than it already is. Truly enjoying playing AND learning new words.
Ive been a super fan of Jumble since we were a child at twelve when it appeared in the newspaper.Im now 64. EXCELLENT.
Really enjoy this game. We play it whenever Im in need of a break from reading the news. Gives us a chance to work our brain a little and relieve us from the stress we get from all the problems throughout the world.
Totally enjoy doing our Jumbles every morning its sometimes a real challenge, but enjoy pushing ourselves to get it done quickly.
Ive always loved Jumble since years ago on the comics page. We play a few games on this app every night. Works perfectly, never a bug or anything.
The game is a perfect length, with several levels of challenge. Not too many purchases. LOVE that you can opt out of ads for a reasonable price. THATs an important reason to consider it! There are other games by these developers that we enjoy as much, too.
Love to try all versions. Some we solve quickly others take more time. Enjoy all.
We wish puzzles would automatically replenish when the available ones are used up. Players miss out on challenges when they are not available.
July 2024 suddenly in the middle of the game it will suddenly take us to safari where something is scanning our iPad for viruses. Never happened before. What is this.
Now (June/July 2024) the app will suddenly cause Safari to launch opening some scam site that says your device is being scanned for viruses. This game has been a lot of fun to play but has caused serious issues that should not happen period. This latest critical issue is the end of our use of it, and we recommend it be removed from the App Store. Previous review: Previously there was some kind of drum beat or music that started playing when the app was launched. We assume it was part of some ad even though no no ad was playing. This required the phone to be set to silent. That issue disappeared after a few months but now there is some kind of clicking noise once the app is launched. At first we thought it was coming from our tv. Again we have to silence our phone. Its possibly part of an ad as well but no ad is playing. The game is nice but the developers do not monitor what the app does. If they were managing this better it would be a 5 star app. As it is its an annoying 3 star one.
This help with keeping your brain working and challenges your knowledge for final clues.
We play this game EVERY DAY. Its always clever and amusing. The games factoids via The Final Clue often educate us a little more in a really engaging and entertaining way.
Great game but uninstalled it because we are sick of the royal match commercials. Ever other game the commercial played three times over and over. Match three games have run their course they are completely computer controlled and no fun. You obviously need the money much more than you need people to play your game.
We played every morning for years. We wouldnt change a thing.
We've been playing their games for years now. We love them and we grew up doing the jumbles with our mom in the newspaper. So much nostalgia! Our mom and we are both word puzzle fanatics. We highly recommend this game and to try all the others they have made. They keep our mind sharp and we love a good word challenge. Keep updating and adding more puzzles. You guys are the best! Thank you for all you do.
We dont like the fact that any time you miss one day you have to wait 45 days to get back to 4 digit points. That is too long.
For quite a while now as can be seen with the recent reviews for the developers Just Jumble app a drum beat score starts playing and cannot be silenced. Occasionally force quitting the app or restarting your phone can resolve this temporarily. But it always comes back. Its extremely aggravating and if a time frame cannot be provided for a resolution we will have to delete all apps from this developer.
Enjoyed the challenge of different levels. Clues often have multi meanings making you think more broadly. Good fun.
Final Clue two word answers, for example, Harrison Ford, will only allow the first part of the answer to be filled in first. So, if you correctly guess the Ford part, Ford doesnt fill into the correct lower position. Daves other Puzzle apps do.
The timer for final question is way off. Please correct it.
We play a lot of brain games but this is the best crossword puzzle game Ive found. Expands your knowledge of words. We find a lot of things to look up. Sometimes we get distracted when we learn something we didnt know and end up on google learning about something we didnt know was a thing. We love this game.
We enjoy all of his word puzzles. They make us use our grey matter. You will like them too.
This is our brain food. We LOVE IT.
After last update the app wont run (your sister apps wont run either – same problem) – crashes upon loading. Please fix.
Our previous review (below) is amended. The programmers got rid of the glitch and added more puzzles. We really get caught when they use clues with two meanings (makes us think!) like wound which could be an injury or a coil. Good job! We also have not seen the ad we disliked recently. Thanks! We have several of David Hoyts games and really like them. The Jumble Crossword game has a few problems. The first one is that you do not always get the clues for the word to put into the grid. At least half the time we have to go back and re-pick the puzzle in order to get the clue word. It is a bother but easily done. Today we got the initial bonus word at the beginning but the app did not accept it. We reversed the two letter is and the app still didnt accept it. We skipped the bonus word and it gave us the exact word we had put in several times. The last problem is a personal choice and just an exception. There is one game ad that features a war game with destroying tanks etc. We think the violence is in poor taste for this day and age. We thank Mr Hoyt for his other games. They are great! The programmers do a great job on them. Jumble Crossword does not meet the bar they set.
Love this game along with Davids other games. His games keep us sharp . Thanks.
This is the first game we play over our morning coffee. Wakes up our brain for the day.
We also play all of David Hoyts games.this one is our second favorite. We know you have to have ads to pay for it but it is very frustrating when they pop up just when it says ad coins or when Im trying to beat our previous best time. We just wish the ads would wait until we finish the game.And some of them are for games we already have downloaded.
Fun and challenging. Great brain game.
Jumbles and Crosswords is word gaming heaven! Playing every day keeps your brain sharp and provides a needed stress reliever. Try it and youll be hooked. One of the best apps out there.
Lots of interesting facts to look up after game. Tons of words and synonyms you never heard before.
Every time this lady comes on screen after hitting watch ad for 250 points you watch ad, get booted out of game no points back to app page on iPad. Unfair!!!! Otherwise greatest game ever.
Enjoy the game. Some puzzles are challenging but overall not too bad.
Ive learned a lot from this game, we really enjoy it.
We enjoy playing this puzzle on a daily basis. For the past month it has been crashing on us at least three times a week. Daily Puzzles will not download. We have a strong internet connection. Please fix it.
Our wife and we are active players of your Giant Jumble Crossword app. In the past weve reported bugs via the email link and got lovely responses from Steve. Recently though the app no longer seems to get daily puzzles. The email link no longer works. On Dec. 3 the app reset both of us to 0 days played. We were nearing 500 days and our wife was close to 365. And, the adveractive.com site no longer seems available to us. Is there a new contact for app issues.
Game freezes and cant be played.
