Great app

Play every day, very enjoyable game to play.
The bottom row, see wrong, 10 letters, reveal word area needs to be smaller and lower on the screen.

New Strategy

I just discovered that if I just answer all the questions in one direction and don’t try to read every single question , my
score is much higher!

4 out of 5

Hate the ads

I don’t like how the ads just try to pop up on their own when I’m working on the puzzles. Need to get that figured out.

5 out of 5

Mac book popups

Love this game but recently an ad for Mac books keeps popping up, sometimes in the middle of the game. Very annoying! Can’t make
it stop!

5 out of 5

Videos

Why when you watch the videos you don’t get the 5 coins they are not even letting you watch them

5 out of 5

Enjoyed

I enjoy the daily puzzles, just enough to challenge me.

5 out of 5

Been playing for years

I do wish there was a one time purchase to get rid of ads. Otherwise, it’s a good crossword app. The questions are a little
repetitive if you’ve done a lot of the puzzles.

5 out of 5

Love this app!!

I can’t wait each day for the new puzzle! They are fun, challenging and educational as well!!! This puzzle app is addicting!! I
try to do as many each day as allowed.

4 out of 5

Cross word

20 is to much to play a game and 5 is not enough to watch an ad

5 out of 5

Crosswords with friends

For the last three days I’ve been playing this and haven’t received any coins for finishing all three puzzles. Please correct
this problem

5 out of 5

Notifications stop coming through.

After the last update at the end of August, my notifications stop coming though. Is there a bug in the software.

4 out of 5

Ads

I would give the app a five star rating, if there were not pop-up ads that cover part of the puzzle and make it impossible to
continue. This does not happen every day but when it does, it is impossible to continue.

4 out of 5

Ads covering puzzle

Have been playing this app for years and love the puzzles. But lately the ads pop up and cover the left top corner of puzzle.

5 out of 5

Ads

Deleting app.. Ads won’t go away and can’t complete puzzles. Loved this game but am so frustrated!!,

5 out of 5

Ads

Take the ads off of the puzzle itself

5 out of 5

Since update

Once Again the info in the orange squares are blank this has been an ongoing problem for a least the last couple of months,
doesn’t happen every day but enough it’s a problem and aggravating ! Needs to be fixed once and for all

5 out of 5

Wrong answer

May 25, 2023: A drill sergeant is a non-com (non-commissioned officer) and, as such, is never EVER referred to as “Sir.”

VIP Subscription

How do ok sign up FOR VIP status?

4 out of 5

Fun, tons of repeat questions

I’ve been playing this for a few years now, it’s really fun. Wish we could pay to get rid of ads after every game

Update: Still really wish we could pay to get rid of ads

Kudos to crossword writers!

Whoever wrote the crossword morning sports puzzle for 5-30-2023 did a great job! Great clues that fit the right response is normal
for this game, but this one was exceptional, challenging, and very well written!

4 out of 5

Crosswords

Love the puzzles and their timed challenge. Way too many ads that repeat over and over again.

5 out of 5

A margarita

Love this game… it’s so fun

5 out of 5

Since update

The info in the orange area where the daily award and tasks to do each day the info is missing, so it’s just a blank orange area

Game continues to freeze when downloading and freezes when puzzle is completed

5 out of 5

Fun treat!

These crossword puzzles are neither easy nor difficult. They are just right for a fun challenge. I learn new stuff too!

4 out of 5

Commercials

Too many of the same two commercials - the dumb king, and the poor woman with a child. So repetitive, and, I would never sign up
for either one! Please get more variety. Or is there a way to not get them at all?

5 out of 5

Crosswords

Always fun and easy to solve most of the time.

I’ve been playing this for a few years now, it’s really fun. Wish we could pay to get rid of ads after every game

Update

This last update is so helpful (please hear sarcasm in my voice). It won’t let me in. It just sends me in circles. 😜😂

5 out of 5

Absolutely LOVE!!!

I love doing these puzzles daily! They help with my memory and I learn a few things too!

5 out of 5

Crossword

I do the crossword puzzle everyday. I think it is helping me stay sharp. I sometimes even go back later in the day to see if I
remember clues and can beat my own time

5 out of 5

Good casual game

Puzzles aren’t too difficult, nor too easy. Ads aren’t super in your face. The game has an overall pleasant feel to it.

4 out of 5

Using Stars

I love this game but I don’t think it is right that somebody has to use coins for continuous play if you miss a day of play.
People have jobs and life and sometimes will miss a day.

4 out of 5

Review

It’s a great game except when you press watch for free it keeps coming up not availble.Also it freezes quite a bit. Love this
game but getting tired of the freezing

4 out of 5

Coins

I don’t always get the coins I’m supposed to get

5 out of 5

Complicated!

Seems a bit more complicated to access the puzzle. Several more steps added in the last update to finally get to the puzzle.

4 out of 5

Love crossword puzzles but…

When I am on an app for crosswords, I do not want word search type games for my bonuses. If I wanted those type games, I would
have an app for them. Also, having to go through 3-4 exits from ads is totally ludicrous.

5 out of 5

Missing rewards

I had several awards of free letters and see wrong. They just disappeared as of this morning. What happened?

4 out of 5

Coins

Wish there was an easier way to earn coins

5 out of 5

Crosswords

Excellent game better than most of the crosswords

4 out of 5

Ad free???

One of the pop ups that has daily rewards said you can now get the as free app. Where??? Cannot find anywhere!!!

4 out of 5

Why not have till the end of the day to complete?

Ink now the new puzzle comes out at 10p eastern but why not give till the end of the day to complete the days puzzle?
Lost a 105 day streak due to a late flight.

4 out of 5

Ads!!!

I would pay up to $20 for a chance to remove ads. Why isn’t that an option?

5 out of 5

Linda unhappy

Enjoy playing but don’t always get my coins.

4 out of 5

Great crossword puzzle game!

This is a fun way to keep your word skills sharp and have friendly competition with friends and family.

Since the recent app update, though, the keyboard is less responsive and at times is frustrating. Family members have told me the
same thing.

5 out of 5

Decompress

This is a great app to decompress with at the end of the day. It has crashed on me before but the puzzles are good and the
challenges fun.

5 out of 5

Love Crosswords

Keeps your mind sharp. I try to play every day. Keep up the good work.

4 out of 5

Excellent crosswords

App is good, not glitchy. We’ll designed crosswords, not too challenging and entertaining. Lots of hints available! One problem
I have is the keyboard is spaced so strangely I am constantly making typos

5 out of 5

Fun puzzles

Not too easy, not too hard. Can’t always figure out ahead of time what kind of puzzles the supplemental ones are; they aren’t
always crosswords.

3 out of 5

Constantly locking up

It locks up after I finish the whole puzzle and I don’t get credit for doing it.

3 out of 5

Just Ok

Could be so much better. Asks for money ALL THE TIME.

3 out of 5

Point of coins

I may be confused but what’s the point of coins? It seems I can’t use them to get anything. Only shows I have 979 coins but
gave to pay to get anything??

3 out of 5

Day starter

I used to love this game, I don’t know what happened. The puzzles I work for the Bonus do not register. The puzzles will not
download some days. I have deleted and reinstalled 2 times and still I cannot get all the puzzles to download. What a
disappointment!

3 out of 5

Frustration

I have complained numerous times that I cannot download puzzles. I can play the daily but not the free puzzle nor any other to
download.
I am still having the problem!!!!!

3 out of 5

Same as Words with Friends

I’d give it 5 stars but the subscription model is too expensive per month. It’s not worth $9.99 per month to get rid of the
ads. So I’ll just turn down the volume and let the ads run.
Make it around $5 per month or maybe $25 annually and I’ll subscribe and rate at 5 stars

3 out of 5

Pop ups

Pop up ads cover first 3-5 rows of puzzle and back but not enough time figure out words.

3 out of 5

Ads

I used to love this game BUT now most days the ads hang down over the first few puzzle answer boxes and you can not see where to
answer it. I have written for tech help but nothing has answered my questions.
Has got to frustrating I am thinking of giving up with more than 400 puzzles done!!

3 out of 5

Ads

I’m seriously about to uninstall this app. The ads are ridiculous. The same ads over and over again.

3 out of 5

Blank task boxes again

I said I would complain every time the task boxes were blank after a few days working fine again 2 days in a row the boxes are
blank!! Hope this latest update fixes this problem ! Love the app but this problem keeps appearing every week

3 out of 5

Too many ads

The ads have gotten out of control!!!!

3 out of 5

Brain teaser

I have been playing this app for several years. Makes me think! I recommend it highly, BUT THE ADS OMG

3 out of 5

50-50

Ads are way too long. Puzzles are good.

3 out of 5

Points

Why award points if you suddenly lose them when you have never used any. I’ve had an accumulation of points suddenly disappear
with no explanation.
Sometimes when completing a puzzle it freezes which eliminates number of continuous solves.

3 out of 5

Ads

The ads are getting ridiculous. It is not much fun playing ads. Would rather play the game.

3 out of 5

Ads!

Love this game but the ads are getting ridiculous, some are tricky to end and annoying. Please make an ad free version.

3 out of 5

Too many ads

This game is fun to play, but, way too many ads. Some of the ads take along time to complete. Going to start looking for a
different crossword puzzle game.

3 out of 5

Ads are getting ridiculous

The ads lately have been ridiculously frustrating to exit out of. Some ads you have to click out of in 5 or 6 different places to
get it to close. This is the first time I’ve actually thought about deleting the app. It’s fun but not worth it.

3 out of 5

Crosswords with friends

...the new version will not let me open for some reason
been trying for days with no luck...Help

3 out of 5

Something’s Wrong

I have finished the game but it keeps asking if I want to resume. I can’t get it to tell me if I have a word wrong but I don’t
think I do. Help

3 out of 5

Rewards

I enjoy the game especially when word seeker is a bonus however, every time I attempt to collect my coins from rewards I never
receive them. Never. I’d appreciate my coins! I do not want to buy coins when I have earned them!!

3 out of 5

Just my .02

Too many ads. And it takes away my coins just so I will buy more. Not happy about that! The puzzles are good but all the other
stuff is a pain.

3 out of 5

Disappointed

I used to love this Game but I find that you don’t get the rewards you’re promised i will continue to play until my coins run
out from a very faithful player😢😢😢

3 out of 5

Ad Free Not Available

The Did You Know section keeps saying,”You can enjoy crosswords without ads, now available in the shop”. But the option is not
there. I would pay for the game for a reasonable amount, I just need the option to show.

3 out of 5

Slow

Very slow to load. Can’t get store to purchase no ads. Ads very annoying. Use to love this but is too slow now

3 out of 5

Bugs

This game is really fun but I get really annoyed when I lose my streak of over 100 days because the game wouldn’t load on any of
my devices. This is not the first time this has happened. It’s very annoying and needs to be corrected.

3 out of 5

Goodbye after 5 years

I cannot take the ads anymore. They seem to have gotten more frequent & last longer. Since there’s not a way to permanently
remove them I think I’m calling it quits.

3 out of 5

Was better before update

No longer can turn :( The ‘extra’ puzzles are hard to navigate.. before we’re easy..
Previously had a way to highlight a correct ‘big’ answer.. they no longer do this…

3 out of 5

Re

Too many clicks to get to a puzzle? And not enough chances to complete puzzle so many ads to watch to get a LITTLE help

3 out of 5

Too many videos and no bonus points

Freezes up constantly. Free points always not working and never get bonus points after watching video.

3 out of 5

Crosswords with Friends

Puzzles themselves are fine, but too many rewards and offers to buy things keep popping up. Should be just simply a puzzle to
solve.

3 out of 5

Don’t like update

I thought it was easier to follow and pick daily puzzles and all puzzles before the update.

3 out of 5

Where are our friends?

The newest update has deleted the family and friends list that I was used to seeing. I miss it and would like it to be reinstated.
I always looked forward to seeing if my sister had done the daily puzzle and how long it took to complete.

3 out of 5

Let us remove ads

Great crossword game but let us pay to remove the ads. Way too many. I’d probably but more packs if there weren’t so many ads.

3 out of 5

More ads than ever

I like the game. I don’t like the changes. Everything now looks like an advertisement even the new game option and the bonus
games. And you made everything smaller. Not as good as it was.

3 out of 5

Rate crossword

Prefer the old way of puzzle, this one confusing

3 out of 5

Ads are getting too much

Why are the ads taking forever and never giving you an x to close. I had to close the app and start over each game.
I do pay to play but hopefully this will get corrected or I will spend my dollars elsewhere.

3 out of 5

Latest update

Makes it harder to navigate through the puzzle

3 out of 5

One of my favorites

So unhappy with the recent changes! Used to be my favorite now Im looking around for a new crossword game without the annoying
graphics.

3 out of 5

Confusing

Really liked it before redesign. Now has too much graphics and is confusing compared to old design. Navigation is no longer
intuitive.

3 out of 5

Fun

I do not like the new look. Too bright. I also still do not know how to get points except watching videos
