Crosswords Classic Reviews

New update causes a bug on iPhone 4s

I really love the app. But the latest update - apparently designed to fix a problem with horizontal viewing, on iphone 6 has created a new problem on my iPhone 4s - the horizontal viewing!

One Across hints are useless

I’ve had this app for YEARS. Back in the day Starbucks used to have these cards with promo codes to get certain paid apps for free and this was one of them. I love this crossword app. Easily the best one out there. But then they stopped supporting this one because they have a different one you can pay for and they never decommissioned this, thankfully. I do use the Hints feature on some of the harder puzzles and I really wish they’d stop using OneAcross.com which is basically just a spam ad site and now it doesn’t even give you the hints. I wish they’d support this app again, it’s the best no frills crossword app.

The best has become the worst

Original (5-star review): There's really no contest among iPad crossword apps. This one's the best by far. The daily stream of top-flight puzzles makes it well worth the price, and the interface is the best in the business - even better than the NY Times app. New review (one-star): For many months now, every other time you click on the help button the app crashes. This problem has NOT been fixed, despite many, many complaints by users. I really want this app to go back to being the best crossword app on the iPad, but as it is now I cannot recommend it to anyone. Please fix that bloody bug!!

Simple fun

I love the endless stream of puzzles and can choose source/difficulty. The UI is great as you can use left thumb on arrows to scroll through clues and it always shows both directional clues on whatever square youre on. One of the oldest apps ive owned and amazed its held up so long, just had to finally post a review! Also appreciate diff options like i enjoy the red letter mode for incorrect letters life is too short to have to wrangle a puzzle to trip over bad guesses!

Doesn’t work with ios 16 anymore!

They updated it yesterday, and now it won’t work correctly with my bluetooth keyboard.

No night mode

This app needs night mode.

Suddenly I’m seeing red

Everything was okay. All my entries were black letters. I had errors set to hidden. Then for no reason all my entries are red. Correct and incorrect. If I set it to errors in red my entries are black if correct but now I see every wrong entry and that feels like cheating. I tried deleting and re-loading the app. It worked for about a week. Now I’m seeing red again. It’s just not fun anymore.

Please add a filtering option

It would be so much easier to be able to filter the difficulty list by source and also to filter the source list by digit. Could you please add this in? Thank you!

Where are Newsday Crosswords?

I’ve used this app for years and its been great. However, I’ve noticed that crossword providers have been shrinking and lately none of the Newsday Crosswords are available. What’s going on?
