Crosswords Reviews

Don’t waste your money

MarkLeedsUK on

United Kingdom

If you like UK puzzles then there’s nothing here. Even trying to download old puzzles is very difficult if not impossible, scrolling back using the date picker is very buggy, it frequently sticks on the current month, or when scrolling backwards the current date appears and it then won’t go back. I have never yet got further back than 2013. The old version was better but of course virtually no UK puzzles now available. Yes it isn’t their fault but surely they could make something available. If you want a US puzzle then it may well be fine, if you want anything else then don’t waste your time or money.

Broken for UK Indie and Telegraph

gileshere on

United Kingdom

Used to use this app daily to complete the independent and telegraph crosswords. Was also holding out for the Telegraph General Knowledge crosswords after a support agent of the developer told me they were working on it. As with other people here I don’t now seem to be able to download or sync my choice of crosswords, rendering the app useless to me. I did email support to find out any more details, but haven’t heard anything back. Therefore, 1 Star.

No access to Telegraph crosswords

United Kingdom

This app no longer has access to Telegraph crosswords which was my sole reason for installation. Will this be permanent because if so I’ll delete the app?

Like previous reviewers I’ve been using this app for at least 7 years to complete the independent crossword most days. Keeps my poor brain active. Anyway, It stopped downloading the Independent a few days ago so I deleted the old app and downloaded the latest version. On this new version I then had to upgrade to get back to where I was. OK - I’m happy to upgrade for the price of a cappuccino given how much use I’ve given it over the years. Fair enough. It costs money to develop an app. But NOW I can’t download the independent at all. It’s disappeared from the available list. So my cappuccino has gone cold and smells a bit of manure. (Not using the other word cos my review will be marked as too rude). Anyway. Stand Alone. I’ll be asking for my money back. Better luck next time. I’m off to find an app that works.

Stopped giving best crosseords

Can no longer get my favourite crosswords on this app so will not use anymore

Can’t access most British crosswords

jaycat85 on

United Kingdom

Was using this app for years before it stopped importing Telegraph and Independent puzzles.

Cant access Telegraph puzzles

Zeph43 on

United Kingdom

Really liked this App so paid to upgrade to the pro version. But it won't download the Daily Telegraph cryptic puzzles and I have a subscription for this. But when I try to enter credentials to access them nothing happens. Cant find any support apart from the faq which doesn't answer this problem. Feel like Ive wasted the upgrade cost. But works on my iPhone! Not happy!

The best crossword app

JeffTheSpermWhale on

United Kingdom

Near perfect, though it occasionally borks the Indy puzzle titles. My only criticism would be that it would be good to have a way to disable all the puzzles. I'm only interested in the British style Ines and you have to disable a LOT of American ones to be left with just the Indy ones

Great app

I am a big fan of crosswords and this app delivers everything that I have ever been wished
