User Reviews

Crosswords Classic is valued for its vast daily puzzle library, ad-free experience, and strong multi-provider UI. However, users repeatedly cite shrinking puzzle availability, lack of developer support, and recurring bugs (crashes, download/import issues) as major downsides. Overall, it’s a long-standing favorite that’s still praised for its interface and puzzle variety, but struggles with content availability and maintenance.

Pros

Huge, daily supply of crosswords from multiple providers with no ads and free access.
Excellent UI and ease of use with intuitive navigation and configurable puzzle sources/difficulty.
Longstanding, trusted app with a strong reputation as one of the best iOS crossword apps.
Supports multiple puzzle sources and easy import (NYT, LATimes, Universal, Dropbox import, etc.).

Cons

Puzzle supply shrinking: providers disappearing and fewer new puzzles, with several reviews noting missing or removed content.
Developers appear unresponsive or have reduced support, with reports of slow or no replies to submissions.
Bugs and stability issues, including crashes (notably the help button) and update-related problems.
Download/import issues and syncing problems, such as puzzles failing to download or difficulty importing across devices.

This is my favorite crossword app. It has tons of daily crosswords & is free with no ads.

I’ve had this app for YEARS. Back in the day Starbucks used to have these cards with promo codes to get certain paid apps for free and this was one of them. I love this crossword app. Easily the best one out there. But then they stopped supporting this one because they have a different one you can pay for and they never decommissioned this, thankfully. I do use the Hints feature on some of the harder puzzles and I really wish they’d stop using OneAcross.com which is basically just a spam ad site and now it doesn’t even give you the hints. I wish they’d support this app again, it’s the best no frills crossword app.
