Good app

Greet for short stints of downtime. No need for connection. Can be played in airplane mode.
Challenging

The 2 points I applaud are: 1. I almost always learn a word new to me in one of these puzzles. 2. It is possible to check a letter or a word for accuracy.
Great Puzzles
Jujus review
Great puzzles but what they don’t tell you is that after you play 3 games you have to pay to play any more. If you like doing puzzles these are good. Worth the $2.99 to get. So far it hasn’t frozen or shutdown on me and NO ads!!!
Best Crossword App ever

Love this app. Great puzzles - relatively easy but challenging. User friendly. Please add more puzzles!
Odd clues, frustrating interface

I find the interface somewhat difficult to use... there is a lot of tapping involved, and it can get quite frustrating. Some of the clues are, in my opinion, poorly worded. This also makes for a frustrating crossword experience.
Mediocre

I'm only giving the paid portion three stars. The free app is fine - no crashing, comes up fast, works fine. Free puzzles were ok too. The puzzle you pay for were cheap and lots of them. Good thing. Must of the puzzles seem to have been written by a non-English speaker. Mis-spelled answers and non-existant words lead the list with totally unrelated clues following close. Used the OED to try to look up some words and they aren't there. Some UK terms used which surprised me in a US crossword but doable. Lots of puzzles and a reveal letter/word function when needed. Three stars. But very cheap.
Needs work

So far it's the best one I can find for the price but leaves a little to be desired. The grid shifts up when filling in vertical words - very annoying. Also, the cursor should move to the next word when the previous word has been completed but does not - somewhat annoying. My biggest complaint is that most of the clues are very vague, abstract, or just flat out make NO sense. Overall, I rate it a 3 but it needs work.
Overall entertaining Cross words

Pleasant puzzles with some rather challenging sections, with more difficult clues. Unfortunately there are some cases where the answers are misspelled and answers are incorrect. Most recent example of wrong answer I have encountered was for the clue-"baby tiger" the accepted answer was "Liger". A baby tiger is a cub and a Liger is a cross between a male lion and a female tiger.
