## Clean Crosswords Reviews in United States

### ***** "Excellent"
Very well put together puzzles
-- Debbie Dukes, 2025-03-20

### *---- "Clean crossword failure"
New format for a few days. Now all I get is a blank dark grey screen.
Some up grade!
-- ibtjs, 2023-07-07

### *---- "Ads"
Solve a clue get an ad!  Really?
-- cross with puzzle, 2022-08-07

### ***** "Great app - hours of fun and learning!"
As of yesterday, I finished all the puzzles. While I don’t know for sure how long I’ve had the app, I know it’s provided me with hours and hours of fun and learning. I wish there was a way to refresh/start over with the puzzles or to download a new set of puzzles. I like that I can do as few or many puzzles whenever I want, not dependent on a “daily” puzzle delivery, and I like that there are options to check my work as I go. The app almost never “froze.” Would I download this again? Yes!
-- GatewayDi, 2022-07-03

### ***** "Really Enjoy this app"
I especially like this crossword app. I find the easy level challenging enough. I do a crossword every day.
-- Clarinet Lady, 2021-10-03

### ***** "Too Many British references"
Too many proper names of British celebs no one in USA has heard of.
-- Puuanahulu, 2021-06-29

### *---- "New update"
The new update is crap I will never play this again
-- 127892345, 2021-05-05

### ***** "Great crosswords!"
Challenging, really tests one's mind!
-- QIRetired, 2021-03-22

### ***** "I love it!"
Can’t stop playing.
-- RacnR, 2021-03-07

### ***** "Susan"
Crossword is easy to use. Great way to learn spelling and memory loss.
-- therealsuzbaby, 2021-03-01

### ***** "Needs Dark Mode"
I love this game and play it most nights, but it’s one of the brightest apps on my phone with the white background. To reduce eye strain at night, I would request adding a dark mode option, or color options.
-- JubJub326, 2020-12-29

### *---- "Crashes"
Your clean crosswords crashes with iOS 14.1. Pls correct so that it’s usable.
-- Hidding in plain sight, 2020-11-21

### ***-- "Great puzzles, crashes constantly"
Really want this to work! Great puzzles and design! But con start crashing.  If ad free version fixed this, great but don’t want to buy and have continuously crashing during use. Update planned?
-- Kaybee8888, 2020-10-31

### ***-- "Game from hell"
Free version has ads that take over the screen. You must either kill the app or open the advertiser’s website. Yes, it is only ? $4 to remove the ads, but why reward that behavior. The audio ads override my audio settings, so I must silence them each time. I won’t be bullied into paying for the app. How many 1-star reviews can you take?
-- Snobrd2, 2020-08-13

### *---- "Poor puzzles"
Whoever writes the puzzles doesn’t work at getting words and letters to fit correctly.  It’s hard to read the clues. Not much of a crossword puzzle app
-- ktdubs122, 2020-05-23

### *---- "Crosswords"
There are so many errors in meaning in the clues - it really isn’t enjoyable.  Whoever is making up the clues really needs a good dictionary.
-- yousayeverypasswordissused, 2020-04-17

### ***** "Brilliant"
It is a very good puzzle. Thank to makers. The only problem I have encountered when the ad about “Hacks” starts, which freezes. I updated, still same problem.
-- andyamatto, 2020-03-28

### ****- "Clean Crossword"
The first game took a while to load and I played that game on the easy level to get accustomed to this app. I could not get a new game to load.
-- DaddyMoose, 2020-01-17

### ***-- "Challenging"
They do a nice job of mixing it up. Not always the same words/clues/answers like some apps.  Its great that this one offers a clue or two without requiring payment.  Huge fan
-- Another Mean Mom, 2019-11-30

### ***** "Crossword puzzle"
I love it and play at least once every day.
-- MDMANJUCK, 2019-11-14
