Crosswords Mobile Reviews

Pop-up, pop-up, pop-up!!!
Poor marketing strategy of your paid product. I'm not willing to put up with pop-up after every solution. Too bad, it appeared there might be a quality product hidden behind the bad advice you got from a friend. You'll never know how much money I spend on apps. DELETED

The interface is not like a typical American crossword puzzle, but the fact you have to type each letter even when letters are already present is annoying. Worse, not only does it tell you whether you are right or wrong, but it also leaves wrong answers in place until you figure out the right ones. Finally, you can't drop the keyboard to go back to scanning the puzzle without submitting an answer; submitting answers with too few letters helps you avoid the wrong answer problem I mentioned, but it is still obnoxious.

Easy to use, and challenging. Great app. 👍👏 One issue though: I had to remove this, and a few other apps from my iPad to create space for a new iOS update. When I re-installed it, all my previous solved puzzles disappeared, and now I have to start all over, like I never did a puzzle before! Plus, the word solver is not longer working. Crosswords freezes when I try to use it. I paid the $0.99 to be able to use that feature, and I would like to know why it no longer works.

UPDATE: I figured out that Crosswords was re-installed as the free version, and not the pro-version that I purchased previously! This in a way is a rip-off even though it only cost $0.99! So that means, I'll have to buy it again and remember not to remove it from my device next time I need space!!!! Plus, there is no way to contact the developer for any assistance. They ask for users to rate Crosswords , I wonder if they even read what people have to say?!

Crosswords is great, but i had some issues in levels 21 ,55 and 59 of the Spanish game, easy levels. The problem was that i couldn't introduce some words I know are the correct ones, so I could not end the game and get access to the medium levels. I'll appreciate it if you can help me pass this levels. Thank you.

I like Crosswords except that when I get down to the bottom of the puzzle my keyboard is in the way. I'm tired if fighting and guessing when I will be able to see it so I'm probably going to delete Crosswords .

Fun puzzle, but the clues are not real crossword clues. They often contain part of or the entire word that is the answer. Example: astride (clue) bestride (answer). Other clues are not clear such as auction (clue) which could either be a verb or noun. I don't know if this was obvious to anyone else, but there seems to be a slightly British leaning to some of the answers as well, as I was not familiar with the means right away. It is still a fun game though.

Cant see the complete puzzle and it doesnt let you change to another clue very easily. Plus no instructions as to how to get started. Screen so small to start with you cant tell thise are the clues! Needs to be set up better!

Very much fun, and easy to use. Except it every three to four words through the first two puzzles, it would kick me out back to home page, and I would have to reload puzzle to the place where I was. After second game this became aggravating, so I uninstalled the game, then reinstalled it hoping that would solve problem. No such luck, still boots me out every three to four words.
This game would be a "5 STAR" if not for this problem!!!!!

Pros: clean UI, no bugs (that I've seen yet). Good job

Cons: doing this app by letter is preferable to by word. Also, I think incorrect answers are part of doing this app; the fact that it tells you right away is a negative. no option that I can see to turn this off...

by Goldenneko

This is easy to learn. Only drawback is getting to the bottom 3-4 rows was annoying. I had to exit and re-enter the game to make them visible (the keyboard was in the way, couldn't move the board up higher)

by 74avm

I give 4 stars only because if you write the wrong word it doesn't erase, the squares turn red a bit confusing. Otherwise it would be a 5

by The Lords

Fun this app. The only thing I would change is not being able to erase, and the nonwords where two words are next to each other

by Musicelf22

I really enlist the clues and set up of this game, but am a little disappointed that you can't delete wrong answers ( at least, I haven't yet figured out how).

Allow for more scroll room for the puzzle. When the keyboard is up I can't scroll to the very bottom of the puzzle without it snapping me back to the center.

For being free; could be better but overall...not bad for want of something to pass the time if you're stuck in a waiting room

by Chiguycago

Works well! Personally, my preference is a puzzle that's a little easier to do. The good thing is you can get the answers if you pay the 99 cent charge.

by Papis2.0

Real good, maybe need options to write just some letters, no just the word. The best so far, enjoy a lot and different language too.

by Dn2008

Just found this the other day. So far in really enjoying what I've seen. I'll update this once I get more playing time.

I like how the clues are on the board and not on the side. The ability to pinch pull the screen makes reading things much easier. It would be nice even if you get a word wrong. If you hit a correct letter for it to stay green. But that may remove some challenge elements. It's got it's quirks that makes it different than any other crossword games. But that's why I love it. Excellent job.

by SEGPHEP

It feels a bit chaotic when you have to keep shrinking the puzzle to see the whole thing, but the square enlargement is perfect for those with more limited vision. Great puzzle app.

by Ckey02

His is the best free crossword app I have found yet. I can usually get at least 60% of the answers without having to look them up. I love the fact that you know immediately that you got it right. I agree with a few other comments though. The wrong word getting left in is annoying. It would be helpful if it let you know if any of the letters were correct. The game also loses credibility right of the bat - while it is loading a puzzle it asks you to "Please weit". Bothers me every time I see it.
