2024-12-01 | John Aquino | Simple and no frills. Just straight up crossword puzzles from all the major publications. Great selection of puzzles and intuitive interface as well! eta: One year later and still loving this app. A request for a possible future update: Would it be possible to add a timer for each individual puzzle? Thanks for all your hard work! | |
2024-11-27 | John Paluska | This is a great app! I love that I can access paywalled crosswords with an ad view. I also like the overall layout of the app. Just two qualms: 1. The resolution is a bit low. I can see the pixels on my phone screen. 2. No way to check which words I got wrong. I will often complete a puzzle and it doesn't do anything because I got a word or two wrong. I wish it would highlight the words that are wrong after completion so I can correct them. Other than that, amazing app. Fix both for 5 stars | |
2024-08-26 | John Morrison | Not too difficult, though great for whiling away the time on a commute. UI is pretty good. Should say I'm only interested in the Daily Cryptics. | |
2024-07-16 | Hearthorn Campbell | Occasional bug; sometimes the clue reads as 'null', and if that happens, it throws off the numbering for the rest of the clues in that puzzle. This happens most often in the "Club Crossword". Other than that, I have no complaints. I consider the amount of advertising to be reasonable for the amount of gameplay and enjoyment I get from the app. Cheers! - Update; the Club Crossword on both July 12 and July 14 of this year have this bug. - Update again; I am very impressed by the swift response! | |
2024-05-24 | Ray Horton | I love the app on-line and would rate it 5*, for my personal use. But my wife prefers a printed copy. I have tried lots of different ways to share and print (with HP Print), and it always lops off the last few lines, which deletes a varying number of clues - across and down - that I have to write down for her. Any ideas are appeciated. | |
2024-04-10 | Colin Hadden | Not bad. Not as good as another one I've used. Starting to see some repeat uploads of some puzzles. Probably seen a dozen or two in the last month. Haven't kept a record of which ones except for the last one which was news day uploaded on 10 and 11 December 2023 Seeing more repeats, even in consecutive days. But other than that I'm pretty happy thanks. Can't recall the exact crosswords as there have been different ones. What happens is that the same crossword will appear quite close together | |
2023-08-03 | Brian McDonagh | How come I can't go back to a puzzle (after a break) when I have already watched your infernal ads? HAPPY NEW YEAR! Northern Ireland is comprized of 6 Counties. Ulster, (a Province) is composed of 9 Counties. I honestly don't recall rating you a one star, but in terms of entertainment and personal satisfaction from doing the puzzles, you definitely deserve a 5 star rating..thanks...your system is wacky. Same as your puzzles..lots of errors. | |
2023-06-10 | Melanie A | This is an app with no bells or whistles and I like it that way. I've been playing for years with absolutely no issues and ads could be skipped after 5 seconds. Now it's been updated to force you to watch ads 15 sec or longer and crashes every time I try to play (and doesn't save any progress you've made on the puzzle when it does). There was no reason for this update. Like I said it's a very basic app and that hasn't changed so why do you need to make people watch longer and more frequent ads? | |
2022-10-13 | Kathy Self | I love this app. I love all the different puzzles (except daily cryptic 😆) and look forward to new ones most every day. Saves on paper, too. 📰 🗞 Will the daily puzzles be uploaded again anytime? I miss doing them daily. Except for the cryptic. 😆 Still don't like that one. I guess I can't upload the screen shots, but I don't see puzzles most weekends, the week of September 18th, October 1st, 2nd, 5th, 7th, 8th, 11th. I really enjoy these puzzles. 😆 🤣 | |
2022-08-02 | Nat Nat | What happened? Worked fine and ads weren't too bad. Now, every time an ad comes on there is no option to exit. It's like it doesn't fit the screen or something, so I can't access any "Xs!" I have to constantly close down the app. Buncha BS! I actually liked this one. Uninstalling. |
