Ratings and Reviews
Awesome - & a fraction of the price of NY Times app
Crosswords is a seriously awesome app with a huge range of puzzle sources from around the world. There are easy, hard, super difficult & cryptic puzzles in the mix. And because they're not trying to support failing newspaper revenue (like the NY Times crossword app is doing by recently jacking up subscription from $16 AUD to $50 AUD!!) this app is an infinitely better option. I far prefer the keyboard with its well thought out special button placement (like Skip, & Flip) and the huge range of quality crosswords. Thanks to the developers--brilliant work.
For American only
The creators have forgotten that this platform is an international one. The clues are colloquial to the extreme. And there’s loads of silly abbreviations. The usual American chauvinism in action…
Clunky and expensive with in house purchases
This is not a user friendly app. It is ok when you are in a crossword but not when you are trying to navigate and look around crosswords. It is expensive for the app and then to get all these bundles it costs extra. Very disappointed.
Developer Response ,
You don't need to upgrade to Pro to get access to the bundles, and going Pro means you'll get new puzzles every day from around the world. If you've got any specific feedback for the navigation, we'd love to hear it, thanks!
