User Reviews for Crosswords
Reasonable software; non-existent support
I bought this software so that I could download puzzles from a couple of websites and import them into third App. Unfortunately, the functionality to import downloaded puzzles is not available in the trial version. However, when I downloaded some sample puzzles (.puz files) I was unable to import them. They would just show up as grayed-out items and I could not import them. I sent a message to the developer in late December. To date I’ve not heard a reply. If you want to plunk down ~$10 for a non supported piece of software, this is a good place to start!
UPDATE: New version is fully featured
See Below…. Just upgraded this app (for $9.99) because the older version wouldn’t work with iOS 13. Pretty disappointed. This version lacks two key features the older version had: 1. The “cheat/reveal answer” button - sometimes on an obscure proper name clue, you just want to fill it in and move on. This version lacks that feature; 2: the rebus function - I just worked a puzzle that had 4 squares that required a 4 letter answer in a single square. I figured all of them out, but had no way to enter multiple letters in a single square. Therefore I could not finish the puzzle. Old version of this app allowed you to do that. I don’t know why these features were omitted, but in this case we have to pay more to get less…Update: disregard the above criticisms. After solving a few more puzzles, I stumbled upon the two features I mentioned above. One has to hold down the puzzle icon on the left of menu bar above the keyboard to pop up the “reveal” and “rebus” features. Therefore this version has fulfilled my expectations and I gave it 5 stars…
Not worth the cost
The included difficult puzzles are good. The easy ones aren’t worth the time. After completing all of the hard ones, new difficult ones are few and far between. Maybe 2 per week.Disappointed.
Nice try, but lacking in key areas
This is not a bad attempt at a crossword app, but it fails in very critical ways. First and foremost, clues don’t tell you when a word is an abbreviation, or if it’s multiple words, how many there will be. These are huge issues, that make solving puzzles feel ridiculous and frustrating without that. I’m also not a huge fan of the ridiculous color scheme they use. Otherwise, it behaves decently enough as a crossword puzzle app. But there are better ones out there.
Deceptive sale tactics
The interface made it appear as though purchasing the app would allow you to download ny times crosswords. However, only after purchasing does it prompt for a separate login to a ny times crossword subscription in order to download the puzzles. The syndicated, week-old puzzles are available on other apps for free—this interface is deceptive and designed to trick people into paying $10 for the app before revealing that you still have to pay more for the puzzles. Developers should be ashamed of themselves for using this tactic.
Useless for the Telegraph Cryptic
I upgraded today from Crossword Classic, which had stopped downloading the Telegraph 2 days ago. I upgraded specifically to access the Telegraph, which was listed on the app info. My sign in to the Telegraph wasn’t accepted on either my iPhone or my iPad (both running iOS 11.4.1); the sign in works perfectly well on the Telegraph site. Then the option to sign in disappeared completely along with all signs of the Telegraph. The app itself is horribly designed. The original Crossword Classic app, which I’ve used for years, was easy to navigate. This version is absurd—but I could live with it if the Telegraph worked. Either fix the issue or please give me a refund.
Favorite app
I love doing a crossword in the morning, so this is one of my favorite apps. Also love how responsive they are if something is wrong, like if a particular crossword isn’t downloading. They are very quick to fix issues and respond to questions.
Now demands additional $10 to download puz format
Extremely annoying, having already paid for this app and multiple previous versions on iOS and going back to palmOS.However, I discovered that one of the older versions - also called Crosswords, but with a dated skeuomorphic icon - will actually open .puz if you download it from safari. Of course if you subscribe to the NYT puzzle, you might as well use their app.
Unable to print puzzles
This is a great app and I use it daily. However, I used to be able to print out the puzzle so I could sit at the table with my family and we could all do it together. Recently, any time I try to print a puzzle, the page is blank. The puzzle shows on the screen just fine but it won’t print on paper. If it weren’t for that, I would’ve given it 5 stars.
It Used to Be Better…
It works, but gets flakier with every release. The top row is often partially hidden, switching away to another app and back again changes the solve orientation from vertical to horizontal (but you won’t know it until you start typing), navigation in “clue list mode” is awful (whereas it used to be great in older versions). I’ve been with this app and its earlier incarnations for well over a decade, but I’m starting to look at (hopefully) better options.
