User Reviews

Users appreciate the app's range of crossword puzzles, from easy to challenging cryptic ones, fair pricing, and user-friendly interface without ads. It is especially praised for being beginner-friendly and suitable for daily use. However, multiple users report issues with lost progress due to saving bugs, limited puzzle variety with few cryptic puzzles, and difficulties entering letters, particularly on some devices. Syncing problems and broken achievement features also diminish user experience. Fixing these would greatly enhance enjoyment and retention.

Pros

Good selection of crossword puzzles with varying difficulty levels, including classic and cryptic types.
Fair subscription pricing with enjoyable and challenging content.
Clean, intuitive user interface with no annoying ads.
Suitable for beginners as it offers smaller and easier puzzles that keep interest alive.
Crosswords are fun, informative, and suitable for daily play or quick commutes.

Cons

App loses user progress or does not properly save progress, causing frustration.
Limited number of puzzles available, especially cryptic ones, leading to content scarcity.
Inputting letters can be difficult or cumbersome, especially on non-touch devices like Chromebooks.
Syncing issues with no option to turn off automatic sync, causing disruptions.
Achievements or rewards systems appear to be broken or inconsistent.

Recent reviews

Must there be letter putting setting in app. It's a herculean task to fill the blocks correctly. Cryptic crosswords are fiendish. Classics are good . Pl. give word setting / filling as other good Crossword App.
