As expensive and unpredictable as Newspapers are these days it’s nice to have something as reliable as a company like yours. Paying over a thousand dollars a year for a newspaper became arduous to endure. The news I can get from various news outlets but I also enjoyed the crossword puzzle that came with it. But thanks to your company I no longer have to miss not completing a crossword puzzle. So thank you for giving us the opportunity to complete our morning rituals and being a part of our daily routines.
I absolutely LOVE ❤️ CROSSWORD STAR!

This is my all-time favorite app! Crossword Star is always there traveling with me to long lines, interminable waiting at the Doctor’s office, during car repairs....anytime I'm stuck waiting for anything to be done and have no idea how long the wait is going to be I'm always happy because all I need to do is open my Crossword Star app and I'm having fun while I wait! This app turns boredom into a good time whether it turns out that my wait will only be a mere moment in time, or whether the wait could be hours, such as waiting for a relative to be brought out of surgery! Crossword Star is waiting, whether for a minute or hours!A huge THANK YOU to all the developers who made Crossword Star into my favorite app of all time!
Way too many ads
CTPianist
I really like this app as far as the puzzles go but there are way too many ads and they are much too long. Sometimes you can’t turn the sound off without turning the sound off on your iPad which is embarrassing because you never know when the sound is going to start. Also sometimes it makes you watch two ads in a row before it will let you do a puzzle. I’ve been thinking of deleting it. I understand it’s a free app butI don’t want to watch 60 seconds or more of ads especially since it’s the same ad over and over and over. I would recommend finding a different app.
Developer Response
