I never leave reviews on games or apps but I had to here. I played one round on this game then got an ad, totally normal. For some tiki solitaire game. No biggie. Not interested in the ad, I let my phone sit for a minute waiting for an option to close the ad to appear. After 2 minutes nothing appeared, so I decided to play along and play the small demo for the game within the ad. After finishing, the screen shifted to suggest I click to download the game from the ad. Not interested, I again let my phone sit waiting for an option to return to Crostic. Again, nothing happened. Defeated, I clicked the option to download the ad game hoping it would make the ad go away and I could resume playing. No luck. Repeatedly for 5 minutes I tried pressing everywhere and anywhere on my screen, but it would only send me to the App Store to download this new ad game. I have never removed a game from my phone so quickly, shame because I felt like this had potential. I have downloaded hundreds of games over the years and this is the first time I have ever given a 1 star review.

Usually with games like this, they allow you to use the game offline since you’re literally only playing by yourself 9 times out of 10 and as such have no reason to need Wi-Fi for data that can be downloaded when the app isn’t open or when the app is installed…Not with this one. Very disappointing. I have a bad feeling that the ads, like other ratings have mentioned, will be egregiously prominent and keep me from enjoying the game.

I have to agree with everybody in the comments. Maybe after every 5 games or 3 you have a ad, because your levels after you beat every single one you have to watch, skip, exit, and back out of the App Store just to get back to the game…. Maybe if you offer (free) “hints” for watching ads it wouldn’t be so bad. Might delete, it’s a lot extra to skip the ads when I can buy a cheap crossword book 😅 someone let me know if they update and change!!! Would love to try again
