Loved It Until...
DaGeeG
It crashed. It deleted all 25 games of mine, and won't allow me to play again.
Love it

I'm not a fan of crossword puzzles, mainly because I'm so bad at them. But the clues in this app are both funny and really clever. I love how you compete and can steal colors.
Fun, but glitchy
Hhetz77
Very addictive game if you like crossword puzzles, and the clues are challenging too. If the makers could fix a few bugs it would be perfect. It doesn't always notify me when the other person has played a turn. I have to close the app and restart it. I've also had a couple of games just disappear altogether. Kind of a bummer. I'm also starting to see some of the same clues already. Fix these problems and it would be a five star app!
Simple, fun, straightforward
Zigguraticus
The concept is simple and honestly executed. The sound effects are fun and the design is pleasurable to look at. Only two complains. One, force opponents to forfeit after a few days. I have at least half a dozen unfinished games in my queue for weeks. Two, some of the clues are just straight awful. Number two I can forgive -- not everyone is Will Shortz. Number one seems like common sense to me for any app developer with asynchronous gameplay. Get on it, y'all!
Fun, but...

There needs to be an option to have users automatically resign after they don't play for a certain amount of time (maybe a week?). It's also annoying that I can't reject invitations to play. Once I open it, all I can do is resign.
Great with a couple flaws
podpeeps
Great game, but it really needs a chat feature. Also, although it appears as though you can resign games, in actuality you cannot, and the games just sit there forever. If these were fixed the game would be perfect.
The best bits of Scrabble & crosswords
webslog
Perfect for when your looking for something less time consuming than an entire crossword puzzle. Has the competitive element of Scrabble and a surprising amount of strategy needed to defend words you've completed from your opponent who can steal your letters by completing a word using letters from a word you've just finished (think Letterpress). Four stars only because I've seen some of the longer words repeated, but I expect that will change as Mercury updates the game. Also know one of the devs there and am happy to support s game built in Nashville, Tennessee.
