I’ve deleted and reloaded without success. I cannot get through to the app support. Don’t bother -- Gingerboysmum, 2023-12-17 ### ***** "Clean crossword" Always enjoy this crossword if I get stuck can find the answer and check my mistakes. Better now with no ads -- Dave the eagle, 2023-07-29 ### ***** "Atrocious" Whoever sets these crosswords, English cannot be their first language. So many words are made up, many are Americanisms .the clues are so badly written as to be completely obscure - and not in a good way! I’m sick and tired of this stupid game. I’ve no idea what theythink the definitions are but they certainly are not correct. It’s like a 12 year old, badly educated foreigner has compiled them! Do better! -- fiddlergal, 2023-02-22 ### **--- "Poor quality crosswords" Even the difficult level is not too hard. Some of the puzzles are incomplete - e.g. missing black squares. Many, many reused clues. At least twice the answer to questions relating to the Australian city were “Sidney” though a further puzzle included the correct spelling. Also, though British focussed in subject matter, often answers are in American spellings, e.g. “odor”. -- notlikethecheese, 2022-10-06 ### **--- "Becoming unplayable" Some ads now filling and blocking the screen with no way to advance. Screen just freezes. -- Barry UK, 2022-02-21 ### ***-- "Halva isn’t Oriental!!" The game is alright, been playing it prettily consistently the past couple of months. The one thing that keeps getting me is how bad some of the clues are that really don’t make sense to the answers. The worst one I’ve seen just happened there. Clue reads “Oriental sweet” to which the answer is “Halva” which is Middle Eastern. I know it’s in Asia but come on! This game could be so much better if someone else was in charge of the clues. -- JustJosh789, 2021-12-28 ### *---- "Too many ads" Tired of pop up ads -- fellgreave, 2021-09-15 ### ***** "Crossword app" I thoroughly enjoy being able to choose how hard I want to work. Great app -- rhw1963, 2020-05-24 ### ***** "Addicted puzzler" I have nearly completed them all, what am I going to do!!! -- fuzzywuzzy74, 2020-02-29 ### ***** "Paid for ads to be removed" I’ve found that this App is playing havoc with the sensitivity of my touch. I paid to have the ads removed, but had to remove the app and reinstall again immediately to try to rectify the problem. Now it doesn’t seem to honour my payment for ad free, and I’m constantly getting ads every few mins whilst I’m playing! Very annoying! -- ozminc, 2020-01-29 ### *---- "Buggy" Really buggy after latest update! Letters jumping all over the place -- FatFaz06, 2019-10-17 ### *---- "OO but" The crossword puzzle is ok but the difficult section is not that difficult and it constantly freezes during the game, requiring you to reboot the iPad, consequently you lose the game and have to start again. -- yorkie 12, 2019-08-11 ### *---- "Repetitive and doesn’t make sense" The clues are repeated over and over and some clues are gobbledegook bit disappointed as I liked it at first and paid to remove the adds ! -- Gem282012, 2019-08-05 ### ***** "Nice crossword app" Nice laid out and easy to use. Only minus is that some clues seem to come up time and time again. For a free app, it is excellent. -- Up garnet, 2019-07-28 ### ***** "Very entertaining" I like this App. Yes, there are irritating ads coming during completing a crossword, it they can be closed easily. There are other crossword Apps where collected 'coins' have to be used to get letter or word hints, but in Clean Crosswords this can be done freely. Well done, this passes many enjoyable hours. Thank you. -- Shropslass, 2019-06-30 ### ***** "Lovely!" Beautiful, simple, immersive app -- The Beeks, 2019-04-10 ### ****- "It's ok" Not bad for free, give it a try -- Mayco235, 2019-01-16 ### ***** "Lee" Really good puzzles not to cryptic. -- Leapt Lee, 2018-10-08 ### ***-- "Crossword" It’s a crossword full of errors naff spelling too and hopeless clues, the ads a nuisance, but I enjoy crosswords once you discover its problems it’s ok. -- Impossibletodothisreview5, 2018-09-23 [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 | £7.99 | ## Clean Crosswords Discovered Keywords -
