Description
We have optimized the loading behavior of the app. Thank you for your patience!
Created by British editors, Crossword Pro is a classic crossword app with a useful twist. In arrow words puzzles, the clues are shown right in the puzzle grid, making them easy to view and play on the iPad and iPhone screen.
This lovingly produced app includes 3,000 all-new Arrow Words puzzles in 4 levels. Easier levels use simpler words and a smaller grid, perfect for a short break. Harder levels have tougher clues and larger puzzle grids for hours of challenging fun. Also, careful editing and a huge pool of words ensure that clues don’t repeat too often.
The sound and graphics are also designed for true crossword aficionados. Choose from four visual interfaces that recreate the atmosphere of the crossword in the Sunday paper. If you miss using your favorite pen to solve puzzels, you’ll love the optional sounds of a moving pen as you fill in the squares, custom recorded for each letter!
Features:
• Once you’ve solved an Arrow Words puzzle on the iPad, you’ll never go back to paper!
• 3,000 free puzzles, 4 difficulty levels and 2 grid sizes
• 4 interface options: Classic, News, Colour, Dark Mode
• Optional sound effects and background music

Ratings and Reviews
Challenging and fun
I downloaded in 2018 and have enjoyed it a lot. Some cons: app crashes a lot on iOS 13, almost everyday, and the in-app adverts can be annoying.
Also not happy
I agree with TarLevPeb. Why ‘fix’ something that is working. Things I am complaining about is the ‘jumping’ to a different word than the one I want to do. Also the screen is always moving under your touch and you have to make absolutely sure the clue you want to solve is highlighted correctly and then you have to touch again to start solving the clue. The previous version worked much easier. When you have touched the block with the clue, you can be sure you are going to solve that clue, not one in a different direction. I also loved the large grids of the previous version. So please please please bring back the previous version.
Thank you for your response, but please read my complaint again. You did not even mention any of my concerns. You just gave a standard reply.
Firstly, I am not against change, as long as it is an improvement to the status quo. And this new version is certainly not. Secondly, I complained about the small grids - not the ‘pinch to zoom’ option which is common knowledge, but the size of the number of blocks in a grid. The Previous version had a nice big grid that keeps one busy. Thirdly I really don’t like the new feature of automatic movement to different clues. I like to follow my own way to the next clue and I find this feature very irritating. Perhaps you can add an option to cancel this feature should one wishes to.
Thank you.
Developer Response ,
Howsit allnicknamesalreadytaken?, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. After many successful years, we've rebuilt our app from the ground up with a modern, customizable design, updated content, and an improved, smoother interface- purposely including new features our users have been asking for. We understand that change is hard, but we invite you to explore the options menu to customize the appearance to suit your needs, and 'pinch to zoom' on the puzzle to set the size the way you like it. We hope that you'll give Crossword Pro a fair chance!
Why fix what isn’t broken?
LOVED the previous version of the app. It was simple, but that’s all it needed to be. It was easy to use and a great UX. The new version is awful in comparison. I’ve subsequently deleted the app - it’s now more of an irritation to do a crossword than a form of entertainment / de-stressing exercise. So sad!
Developer Response ,
Hi TarLevPeb, thank you for sharing your feedback. While we understand that change can be hard, we would greatly appreciate if you could share a little more about what it is that you don't like with our latest update?
