Crossword

Like the crossword puzzles. I even ended up buying the commercial free version. There weren’t that many commercials but I just don’t like to see them. If there’s anything else I’m wanting I’ll look for it on my own. The commercial free wasn’t that costly anyway. I have one big complaint. You can be doing a puzzle. Not finish it, close your phone for something then go right back and your puzzle is gone. Then you have to start a new one. Plus had a lot of easy ones left that are nice when you don’t have a lot of time. All of a sudden on top of losing the puzzle you were doing almost all the easy ones are gone also. That’s two major complaints that I need to see fixed. I’m really hoping to see this fixed on my phone or I’ve been ripped off like a lot of the apps do. I must say also now that I’ve had the app for a little while I’ve had a major problem. I’ve had some times when I’ve put the right letter in and it says it’s wrong. Try and try to figure out what it could possibly be. Finally get enough of the puzzle done that I’ve just had it fill its self in. It has that feature. Or I’ve put my objection square on that square and ask for a letter. It has put in the letter I’ve tried to get it to accept numerous time. Now that’s a major screw up. You beat your brains out trying to come up with a couple of words that have the meaning with a slight different spelling for nothing.

Great Xword App

This is by far one of the best crossword apps on the store. I waited through 2 updates to write a review as I wanted to see how the company fixed issues through each update. For instance, in one update sponsor ads in the free edition would sometimes cause a black screen to appear and make it seem as though your app had crashed, when in reality the home button just needed to be tapped and the app reopened. You don't have to go through a full re-load sequence like you would if it had gone through a full crash or if the app had been closed fully. Once re-opened you just open right back to the puzzle. So far, the latest update has resolved this sponsor ad/black screen issue. I am also quite fond of the idea of telling the player the grid size, puzzle ease, and author up front. There are some authors, for instance, that I am inclined to not even open their puzzles while others I gobble up every chance I get. The maker of this app puts out as many free puzzles as they do paid! The paid puzzles are rich and totally deserving of the price of coffee (some less than the cost of coffee!) Often the paid puzzle packs come with more puzzles per pack than freebies. As I mentioned this is one of the best crossword puzzle apps I've played - and I have played almost all of them. I like this one so much that I wrote this review-something I don't normally do.

Amazing app, supports the wrong Oklahoma football team

This was my favorite crossword app until I opened a new crossword and one of the clues was Oklahoma Athlete, as an Oklahoma State University Student I only support the cowboys. But the answer was S****r, I had to disgustingly type out those dreaded letters in order to complete that crossword. I still shudder at the thought of possibly typing that word again. I'm not sure I can ever use this app again. You may feel this is childish or immature, but that only means you clearly have never felt love. I only continue to play in hopes that I can type the letters Cowboy in response to a question relating to Oklahoma State. One day I will see this and when that day comes I will give this app 5 stars, until then they remain sub par. While the apps features are amazing and simple to use, it's options to players seeming nearly endless and the app is amazingly easy to put down and pick up whenever you like; meaning this app deserves 6 stars, I am unable to do that due to the pain I currently feel from being betrayed. I hope you eventually see the error of your ways, but until then I am unable to respect you.

Outstanding Mind Exercise !!!

Crossword is a wonderful puzzle app that stimulates the mind with a variety of authors and levels of difficulty. Having tried other apps in both the iPhone and Kindle environments, I can attest to the ease of use, ease of moving from clue to clue, use of auditory and visual alerts to erroneous letters and the satisfying sounds and visuals that occur on successive conclusion. The layout is not showy which is an advantage and the clues typify the level at which I have played. Having enjoyed the puzzles of a number of different authors, I can say that a few of them construct puzzles, the clues of which resonate to my manner of solving puzzles better than other authors. I found this to be true regardless of level. I am a PhD in Psychology and offer this discovery as a suggestion for you to find authors from whom you find clues that lead to your success at puzzle solving because there must be a correlation between how various choose clues and how various players solve puzzles. This would even Len itself to a great piece of research by a grad student some day !!!

p. pasco if you see this i want more

my biggest qualm is that lot of words are super repetitive within a particular creator, especially short ones (like “era” or “ccc” or “old” over and over). no one specifically, but generally across the options. so for example within one “pack” or whatnot i’ll have the same word multiple times and even multiple times within the same puzzle. i stopped doing the “easy” ones and that helped the repetitiveness. hints/solves you can use from the one across website are hardly ever right/helpful/even remotely possible with what’s “locked in” from being correct. the only puzzles i like are by p. pasco, so she or he should do some more. i finished the pack and now im bored again. i’m still going to play it because i don’t have a better option and in the grand scheme of things it’s really not that bad. overall i recommend. edit: i also like the ones by Gentry. need more Gentry and Pasco talent on this app asap!!! edit: i think i’m biased towards pasco because the content is young and fresh and interesting and incorporates some spanish. it’s things that are actually relevant to me. so maybe you need more young authors? idk, good luck!

Keeps me sharp

I’ve been using this app for a couple of years. I have the free version and although it has ads, they aren’t overly intrusive and only last for 30 seconds to one minute. It’s great for filling in time while waiting in a doctor’s office, for a friend while they run into the store, or the pharmacist to fill a prescription. One of the best features is that you can stop anywhere in a puzzle, close the app, and go right back to where you were when you closed it. The dashboard allows you to set up game just about any way you like. Among other features, you can go from a light to a dark mode, set it up to turn letters that are mistakes, red or set it up to let you complete the puzzle and then tell you that there are x number of errors that need to be corrected. Finally, the actual puzzle is easy to navigate with arrows that allow you to move from down to across or vice versa, delete mistakes, or move to another location in the puzzle.

Enjoyable but not the most user friendly

I’ve played about 20 puzzles now and I like it. Sometimes, actually a lot of times there’s repeating words in different puzzles, but that’s not a huge concern. And maybe it’s just on the easy setting so far. My advice or recommendations for this is the keyboard. I really wish they would use the device keyboard instead of their own because it is just slightly different than the normal one to the point where I struggle to type lol. Also I think the organization of the puzzles should be a little better. Maybe do sub settings where you can specifically choose easy medium or hard instead of all at once. Overall I really like this app, I think it’s a much better free alternative to the big name one, fun puzzles that are challenging yet doable. I like the variety of writers, and I like that we see who they are because I don’t understand one particular writer’s work. (Not that it’s a bad thing, it just makes it frustrating for me). The one thing I want to see is keyboard adjustment.

Great app; needs a frantic decluttering.

I've been using this app for some time (ad-free, paid version). I like the wide choices with difficulty levels, authors and even the size of the puzzles. Any given day I can go through ten puzzles or so. My only gripe is that I cannot sort or save puzzles by specific author. By size or difficulty, yes. By author, no. I've been doing a binge on Marc McLain's puzzles for several months now, and I must scroll through forty to fifty pages in order to find his earlier puzzles. Then I "bookmark" them by solving the first few words in Puzzle 1 of the group. That way, his puzzle groups stay on the first screen (i.e., the screen that first appears with the new ones listed) where I can see them and access them easily. (Yes, this is a weird way to use the app, but it's how I roll. Work with me here.) If that feature could be added in a future update, I would be an even happier cat. Thank you, and keep the brain food coming!
