Pros and cons of Crossword Puzzles! app for iPhone and iPad
Crossword Puzzles! app good for
Love it, love it, love it !! My day would not go as well if I did not work several crossword puzzles every day. I purchased the plan where I have as many puzzles to work as I want all the time, and it is worth the small price. These crossword puzzles keep my brain working and sharp all the time. I just love them. This is the best crossword puzzle app I have ever used.
I always look forward to my daily crossword! I would like to rate it 5 stars because the puzzles are great however, navigation is somewhat annoying and could use some tweaking. Overall, most enjoyable and one of my favorite crossword apps.
Easy to do in a short time. Satisfies the crossword urge and if interrupted I can always come back. Still have to do the pen and paper ones too though.
This is hands down the best crossword app on the App Store- even the ones Ive paid for.
I used to have another crossword app that always froze. This one works well, and the puzzles are great.
Mildly challenging way to get brain going, yes, some annoyances with how cursor moves from square to square, but easy to manage and correct
Some bad moments
Used to be really great, but deleting because they no longer allow you to get enough tickets.
I understand the banners, but a pop-up every time you come back to the app is waaaay too much.
Not so much a crossword app as a vehicle for ads.
I like this app for its level of challenge, and daily free puzzle, but recently the ads have become more frequent and more difficult to click out of. I use this app while doing other things, and having to watch a new video ad every time I click over to read a text message is just too much. Uninstalling for now, hopefully this gets fixed.
The mechanics are frustrating. Using the next button does not skip completed items. Moving to a partiality solved item jumps to the first box, even if it has already been filled in. Completed boxes should be skipped when completing an item. Trying to tap on a box to add a letter is nearly impossible. The end result is that what should be a relaxing challenge becomes an infuriating mess.
The puzzles themselves are enjoyable, and the backgrounds gorgeous, but the settings never save (ie: I have to turn sound off every time I open game, even if Im already in the middle of a puzzle and have just had to exit to take a call, etc). The app also restarts any time I switch over - does not reopen to current puzzle, have to wait for app to reload and for an ad to pop up before I can continue playing. It would also be nice to have more control over zooming in/out, instead of only two options (really small or really big).
Overall a decent game but only 2 stars because of how frustrated I get each time I try to play. It is a free game though so I suppose it comes with the territory!
Get another app, this one wont even load without an internet connection to download new ads - it also automatically plays videos.
