But the popup ads, while necessary for a free app, are annoying; they were few at first but are now quite frequent. Also, many british expressions that we north-americans struggle to guess...i.e. “brolly” for umbrella. 4/5. Second opinion: definitely more british than north-american…some words I’ve never heard… -- Shortpine, 2024-04-02 ### ****- "Okay, but…UPDATE TO 4-STAR" UPDATE: I appreciate that the developer has responded. I didn’t understand the % solved part very well. Thank you for clarification. And I appreciate that the developer has not dismissed the need to have the game automatically fit to various screen sizes. PREVIOUS 3-STAR REVIEW: I’ve solved 8 puzzles so far but it tells me: 0% solved so far. What gives? Also, the puzzle needs to fit to horizontally to the iPad Air 4 screen. It’s two columns short of fitting the screen in portrait position. -- ConLorMar, 2022-02-25 ### ***** "Clean Crosswords" Enjoy my word game to keep my mind sharp and enjoy the challenge.Thank you SwattyDimps -- worldlywordsmith, 2022-02-22 ### *---- "Clean Crossword" Recently I was asked to okay ads to help pay for this game. I agreed since ads were already appearing and I wasn’t prepared to pay money to play. Since that time I can seldom solve one word before a new ad appears. Once the ads start they appear about once every ten to twenty seconds. It is almost impossible to play this game anymore. -- GLDYX, 2021-06-16 ### **--- "Clean Crossword" Some of the ads will not allow you to ignore them. Thay lock up the game. I log off and wait to restart. Very IRRITATING. -- cadman for the rom, 2021-01-02 ### ***-- "Ads are ruining this app" Ads flashing constantly at the top of the puzzle and other full screen ads interrupting gameplay so frequently have ruined this app for me. It was one of my favourites for a very long time so I’m very sad they’ve now ruined it in this way. (They are trying to force you to pay to opt out of ads that had never been there before.) -- Elle_8, 2020-07-17 ### ***** "Keys and help button not working" Sometimes I can’t get the “p” button to work as well as the help button doesn’t open - very annoying -- Sampson2020, 2020-05-16 ### ***** "Ads can be irritating" It -- Nhojyor, 2020-01-28 ### ****- "A pleasure" For the most part, I enjoy these puzzles. There are always a few words I have think about and/or learn. Lately, the keyboard doesn’t show unless I turn my iPad to portrait and then back to landscape. Also, the puzzles seem to be larger than my screen and require a lot of moving around. Not sure if this new, but would prefer if it fit the screen. -- hornbyrav, 2019-10-25 ### **--- "Spelling" Some of the answers are misspelled.Makes it difficult. -- Padiham, 2019-01-31 ### **--- "Used to be a good app" Love playing the app. Ads are now crashing the app on my iPad. It’s happening multiple times on each puzzle. Only way out is to reboot iPad. Will be deleting soon if not fixed -- Lappal8, 2018-10-25 ### **--- "Annoying" App kept opening a safari webpage unprompted. Deleted. Was annoying. -- East_coast_gal, 2018-10-18 ### ***** "Great!" This is a great crossword game! Currently the video ads are crashing the game on iPad 😭 -- FloydieBear, 2018-10-05 ### ***** "Great Game" This crossword is a good mix of North American and British centric clues and words. The only thing I don’t like is how it can freeze my device sporadically and with some ads, otherwise I really enjoy playing. Thank you. -- Fidra3, 2018-08-18 ### ****- "Information" Many of the words in the puzzles are British. I’ve learned some new slang e.g. lug means ear! I have had a problem with the app freezing, and the keyboard disappearing. The only solution I have found is to delete the app and then reload it, and sometimes even this doesn’t work. I like the number of puzzles avalable in each category. -- gailiegirlie, 2018-05-08 ### *---- "Huh?" Some clues do not match the answer- making it questionable. Numb= asleep, all= each. So it can be frustrating at times. Also, spelling is changed in order to fit space. Naan bread can be spelled naan, or nan. Also, some of the answers are in poor taste. Eg. inbred=native. I can’t see anyway this is acceptable or even should be an answer. Also-mute= dumb, lame.. which again is in poor taste. I have played almost all 3 tiers so I have seen this more than once. Please do better than this! No way should a crossword come across in this way. -- Crowodgame, 2018-04-22 ### ***** "Clean Crossword" Addictive. Wonderful game to be recommended to friends and family. Some clues are not correct which takes away the enjoyment of the game. -- Rockbou, 2017-12-12 ### ***** "Good app" I like clean crosswords. They are in large print plus you can pick how hard you want them to be. You can also show your errors and get help. It's perfect for me. -- Gerry1510, 2017-10-26 ### ****- "Keyboard" I like this puzzle app but I am disappointed that I can’t use my Logitech keyboard. Otherwise it’s great. It would be awesome if you could work on capability with my keyboard. Thanks -- Gimpy 2, 2017-09-23 ### ***** "Clean crosswords" GREAT PUZZLES. KEEP THEM COMING. -- Gr80Rb, 2017-09-04 [View all Clean Crosswords reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Clean Crosswords In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | Remove Ads | $9.99 | ## Clean Crosswords Discovered Keywords -
