I like the interface, I like the puzzles (even if they are on the easier side, it's nice to chase quicker times) but the ads are just horrible. After every puzzle there's like a 30 second ad (and they're those annoying ones that try to make you play a different game). I like the rest of the experience enough I would pay for a way to get rid of the ads but there's nothing in the game store regarding that. Edit: I just tried the app again and see they finally added a no ads subscription, great!

UPDATE: 05/2025, now the game just constantly opens up a new window to download another app. I'm done with this POS app, uninstalling. This game constantly crashes. I played for quite a while and dealt with lots of crashing, but I'm finally done with it.

Freezing is still happening. Closes down where my other apps don't. So I know it's not my phone. And it's really funny the other crossword apps I use. I always get within less 5-7 minutes. The timer on this app really's too fast. Almost by a 1½- 2 minutes too fast. They need to reset the timer. I have gone against the kitchen timer also. And customer service,is way too hard to get ahold of,and dont care. I still play, but not my first Go to crossword of the day.
