Not as good as it was
Tends to crash with IOS 26. Have to use coins on all the extra word games—and the game no longer remembers what I already did, so I have to start the event puzzles over and over.
★★★★positivebmac5504 · 2026-07-16 · v51.32.558
Keeps Bugging
Really like this game but for the past few weeks it keeps freezing mid game! Please fix!
★★★★negativeMentions pricingBummed Bear · 2026-07-15 · v51.32.558
Word seeker reset
Once again, the word seeker mini game has reset. I completed each day and now it says I haven’t. I’m not spending coins to redo puzzles I have already completed. I don’t understand how it worked for years and now it keeps breaking.
★★★★negativeMentions pricingdylanation37 · 2026-07-14 · v51.32.558
DO NOT give this one your time until the developers fix it
The game freezes or glitches all the time. You have to completely close the app and reopen to continue a puzzle, but it might freeze again before you can finish one. And sometimes the freeze-ups cause your entire phone to lock up for minutes at a time, and you can’t do a thing about it until your phone recovers itself. I’ve been a subscriber for a long time, but cancelled last week because these issues won’t stop. I’m not giving money to an app and its developers when a simple freezing glitch can’t even be fixed over months and months. Worked for years. Now it doesn’t. Find another game to play because this one is no longer worth your time, unless you enjoy your phone locking up and having to reboot the app multiple times to play a single puzzle.
★★★★★positivejerry'sbaby · 2026-07-12 · v51.32.558
Same Problem
My game has, also, been locking up for no reason. It would be a shame to lose it after enjoying it for so long. Please remedy this problem as quickly as possible.
★★★★negativeMentions pricingDanny1962 · 2026-07-06 · v51.32.558
Used to be good
I enjoy the crossword puzzles but recently it’s been very buggy. I use coins to buy packs and they either don’t download (download failed message) or they disappear if I don’t play all of them immediately. Tried their help and their “chat” (it’s not a chat, it’s a FAQ and if you don’t have an issue that is in said FAQ you are SOL! I’ve played this daily for years, but deleted it today. I’m tired of building up coins to spend them and get nothing.
★★★★negativePilot Mike 524 · 2026-07-05 · v51.32.558
Do Not Doenload
I played this game for years, but recently it kept locking up my iPhone 17 and freezing the screen. I was unable to use my phone for 4-5 minutes. I deleted and reloaded the app 3 times, but it still happens.
★★★★negativeSolver woman · 2026-07-03 · v51.32.558
Glitched
I love this game but it freezes all of the time. I’ve done all of the suggested steps to rectify this problem but to no avail.
★★★★negativeConster 50 · 2026-06-30 · v51.32.558
What is going on and why isn’t it being addressed?
This app has started crashing. The screen starts glitching and it freezes up, locking up the whole phone. This issue isn’t specific to me based on the reviews but it seems nothing is being done to address it. I’ve been a player for years but it might be time to move on to a different app for my daily crosswords.
★★★★negativeDrea614 · 2026-06-29 · v51.32.558
Freezing app
The app keeps freezing now!
★★★★negativeLorids262 · 2026-06-29 · v51.32.558
Filling in letters
Been playing for years, lately the game freezes, not just the game but my phone and takes a long time to reset. Please fix this!
★★★★★neutralSh@wn79 · 2026-06-28 · v51.32.558
Crashes
Has been crashing a lot… get a few words in. Have tried all of the steps and nothing…
★★★★negativeBetsy2panda · 2026-06-28 · v51.32.558
Crashing and freezes
I love this game but it consistently freezes up and locks by phone. Please fix this!
★★★★positiveJujujuju6280 · 2026-06-27 · v51.32.558
Love this game
I have been playing this game for several years everyday. Lately it has been crashing every time I play. I sure would love to have that fixed.
★★★★★negativeAv8tor8039 · 2026-06-27 · v51.32.558
Hang Ups
This app freezes at least once per puzzle. It has gotten to the point that I don’t care to play it anymore, and I used to play it all the time. There has been a change here somewhere and it has definitely been a change for the worse.
★★★★negativeIronpagrovian · 2026-06-26 · v51.32.558
Crashes and locks phone up
This is a really fun app. Love playing it with my wife. But, wow! So frustrating how it keeps crashing and making our phones completely lock up! Ugh. Unusable. Been playing it for so long and it was fine mostly, but have to abandon now until it is fixed!
★★★★positiveSarge261 · 2026-06-25 · v51.32.558
Love the game, but….
Today the app froze twice doing today’s daily puzzle. I had to reboot my phone to complete it. Update: App froze twice again today.
★★★★★neutralJCP143! · 2026-06-24 · v51.32.558
App Crashing
For the last week or two, I can barely play on this app for 5 minutes before it freezes, the app crashes, and my phone stays frozen for about 15 minutes before I can lock it and shut the app down. Such a bummer! Please fix.
★★★★★negativeButtersprinkle · 2026-06-24 · v51.32.558
Crashes
The app keeps crashing and locking my phone. If it not fixed, I will not use it anymore. Been a user for a long time.
★★★★positiveTitan’s mom · 2026-06-24 · v51.32.558
Fun times
I love my crosswords! I sometimes don’t get to play but I love it just the same. However, the last couple of weeks or so it has been crashing and freezing on my iPhone. Would you please fix this problem so I can keep playing?
★★★★★negativeColumbiaDSM · 2026-06-21 · v51.32.558
Used to love this game
This keeps freezing up and now it’s saying I’ve played 2/15 of bonus games. I play everyday and know I’ve played these. Game has opened in somebody else’s name too.
★★★★★neutralPARIS/NY · 2026-06-21 · v51.32.558
Crashed
Game keeps freezing even though it’s been working fine for years. It’s been a few weeks.
★★★★positiveAJsComet2 · 2026-06-20 · v51.32.558
App keeps crashing
I have used this app for years and love it. However, in the last month, it has become very annoying to have to try to shut down or restart my phone because the app keeps crashing and locking my phone.
★★★★★neutralreckuf · 2026-06-20 · v51.32.558
Frustrating
Watch videos, no 5 pt rewards
