User Reviews

Crossword US is praised for being easy to use, playable offline, with a large puzzle library and strong educational value, all without ads. However, recurring downsides include British bias/non-American English in clues, occasional factual inaccuracies, several navigation and cursor bugs, unreliable progress tracking/backups, and pay-to-play pricing after initial puzzles. These themes recur across multiple reviews, suggesting improvements in content localization, accuracy, stability, and pricing would enhance the experience.
Pros
  • Easy to use and reliable UI
  • Offline play (airplane mode) without internet
  • Strong educational value: expands vocabulary and learning
  • Large variety of puzzles and packs
  • Ad-free experience and generally solid performance
Cons
  • Clues often rely on British-origin words or non-American English (not fully American-focused)
  • Some clues are factually incorrect (e.g., teak vs pine)
  • Navigation/UI issues: difficulty switching between horizontal/vertical clues and cursor/clue movement bugs
  • Progress tracking and backup problems (puzzles not registering as completed; backups crash)
  • Paywalls: need to purchase additional packs after initial puzzles
