[2013-08-01] A Google User: Love it Easy to use, good levels of difficulty. |
|
[2013-07-30] A Google User: Great twist on the normal crossword. Features allow for hints without giving the answer away. |
|
[2013-07-27] A Google User: Enjoyable time waster Not too challenging - perfect for solving over a cup of tea, as you can get through each one in a few minutes. Not a major brain-stretcher, but you don't always want to spend hours scratching your head over a crossword. |
|
[2013-07-24] A Google User: Great set of beginner crosswords Easy enough to rarely get stuck, helps you develop skills gently. |
|
[2013-07-19] A Google User: Puzzles challenging without being too hard, BUT I completed the free puzzles before buying the rest. I would have preferred it if the completed puzzles had remained just that rather than being restored to the empty grid state upon purchase. |
|
[2013-07-13] A Google User: Great Fun Good practise, easy to use, most questions are clear when the answer is identified. More puzzles needed! |
|
[2013-07-11] A Google User: A little easy for some (my father can solve each question immediately), but I've found it a good way to get into cryptic crosswords. Could do with a means of filling in 'uncertain' answers temporarily, but overall it is good fun for beginners. |
|
[2013-07-04] A Google User: Easy to use and easy to do |
|
[2013-06-22] A Google User: Very good - improved my cryptic approach a lot. On nexus need to shrink it manually quite often. |
|
[2013-06-17] A Google User: Very enjoyable Not too taxing but very enjoyable and satisfying. |
|
[2013-06-14] A Google User: Just the right level for me, cryptic clues that require some thought but not some obscure manipulation to get to the answer and proper english!! definitely worth 5 stars |
|
[2013-06-03] A Google User: Very goodand lotsof fun! As good a cryptic as any I're found in my local paper. Not to hard to figure out but not so easy as to be unchallenging. Hope to see more like it! |
|
[2013-06-01] A Google User: Cant wait for the next pack. Not too hard, not so easy . Easy but entertaining |

|
[2013-04-01] A Google User: Plancius Good time waster |
|
[2013-03-30] A Google User: Great app Addictive and easy to use, you can reveal a single letter if your stuck on a clue, and check if you have made errors which would throw the rest of your answers out. Loads of crosswords supplied. Well worth the money |
|
[2013-03-14] A Google User: Great timewaster! Great app |
|
[2013-03-11] A Google User: Very enjoyable |
|
[2013-03-09] A Google User: OK It's alright, just PLEASE take out the app's keyboard and let us use our device's keyboard instead. The app's keyboard is too small and hard to navigate. |
|
[2013-03-03] A Google User: Humorous.. And the Cryptic clues are nicely composed and not too difficult. |
|
[2013-02-17] A Google User: Not bad Needs internet connection to verify license. Cannot use full application without verification. Poor. Otherwise good crossword application. |
|
[2013-02-16] A Google User: Love it Great puzzles, please add more!! |
|
[2013-02-13] A Google User: Gets you thinking!! |
|
[2013-02-11] A Google User: OK Basic but fun. Definitely NOT The Evening Standard |
|
[2013-02-04] A Google User: Nice app Good clues. Like the grid / separate clues as a toggle feature. |
|
[2013-01-20] A Google User: Very playable There are a good variety of clues. The overall puzzle are challenging and rewarding. The games interface is clear, easy to use and intuitive. |
|
[2013-01-18] A Google User: Addictive Love these cryptics. Not too hard but still keeps the brain in gear. Keep them coming |
|
[2013-01-10] A Google User: Entertaining without being hair tearing! Good entry level cryptic clues. I like the choice of "frame" or clue list. |
|
[2013-01-10] A Google User: Not bad I found the clues easier than I expected. But still enjoyed completing the crosswords. |
|
[2013-01-09] A Google User: Pretty Satisfying Enjoyable introduction to cryptic crosswords - not quite Times standard, but helpful for learning basic conventions. |
|
[2013-01-08] A Google User: Brilliant Just finished pack 4. Can't get enough. Keep them coming :-) |
|
[2013-01-07] A Google User: Good work Passed lots of time with this. Great crossword application. |
|
[2013-01-06] A Google User: Great crosswords. Good crossword app, they do vary in difficulty and there is no way of knowing how advanced any particular crossword is going to be but overall great exercise for your brain. |
|
[2013-01-02] A Google User: Great app Very easy to navigate, clues, as others have said are not too taxing. Well designed app. Would be 5 stars if it didn't insist on checking the license, which means the puzzles are locked if you have no internet connection. |
|
[2012-12-30] A Google User: Hours of fun Great value for money |
|
[2012-12-17] A Google User: Love it |
|
[2012-12-13] A Google User: Fantastic This app has kept me sane. I have done all of the crosswords several times and have enjoyed every one. I have been holding out for any new ones so was very happy to see Pack 4 arrive today. Thank you so much. U have saved my Christmas ;-) |
|
[2012-11-30] A Google User: Very good. Does exactly what it says. |
|
[2012-11-17] A Google User: A lot of fun! |
|
[2012-11-09] A Google User: Very Good Excellent app. I'm still learning how to work out these types of puzzles , the letter clues are very helpful. I am getting better. |
|
[2012-10-30] A Google User: Good game A good introduction to cryptic crosswords. Well worth downloading. |
|
[2012-10-27] A Google User: Good App Good app, work really well. My only criticism is that it is a bit easy. Would be happy to pay a bit for some more challenging levels. Why, oh why can't the Times provide an interface like this for their crossword. |
|
[2012-10-11] A Google User: Great medium level cryptics! |
|
[2012-09-16] A Google User: Excellent Upped my rating since crash fix. Now I'm back to waiting for more levels! |
|
[2012-09-15] A Google User: A good introduction I am enjoying this as it's at my level, an ideal starter into cryptic crosswords. |
|
[2012-09-06] A Google User: Middle level Very good mid level test. |
|
[2012-08-26] A Google User: As expected Handy to have in your pocket. The puzzles are basic so might suit beginners. |
|
[2012-08-14] A Google User: Cryptic Crossword Good quick crosswords. A range of difficulties would be an advantage.i.e. A few more challenging puzzles as well. |
|
[2012-07-29] A Google User: Good times app fc's upon completion once in a while, but these are good times |
|
[2012-07-26] A Google User: Good Enjoyed Lite, but can't open paid version 'cost it can't find licence. Pity...... |
|
[2012-07-09] A Google User: Great |
|
[2012-07-02] A Google User: Great A natural step up from the traditional crossword game. |
|
[2012-06-26] A Google User: Almost perfect Really good app. Like many others have stated, some more challenging levels would improve the game for more experienced cryptic puzzlers, but still worth doing as it is. At least it doesn't leave you ripping your hair out for days while you try to answer a difficult clue! A scribble area on the screen somewhere to write letters for the anagram clues etc would be greatly appreciated - please consider it for the next upgrade. |
|
[2012-06-16] A Google User: Perfect mobile puzzler... I was buying my daily rag just for the xword. No more. This is great. Nicely conceived. Difficulty level needs a tweak tho... |
|
[2012-06-16] A Google User: Well designed, decent clues This is a slick little app, and a lot of thought has has gone into the design and the clues. The difficulty level is accessible but a challenge. Some of the puzzles might bamboozle you for a long time, but you'll get there without tearing your brain out in frustration. EDIT: Pack four is not cryptic at all and the clues are very very easy. |
|
[2012-05-07] A Google User: Great Simple, but nor too simple, with about one crossword per 2 days being added through app updates |
|
[2012-04-12] A Google User: crossword cryptic cryptic crosswords are the only ones worth doing so these are fun. could be a little deeper sometimes, but well worth the purchase price |
|
[2012-04-07] A Google User: Fun Puzzles are cryptic but not too hard, perfect for someone (like me) who's still getting the hang of them. |
|
[2012-04-03] A Google User: Great App! Awesome fun to play with my daughter! |
|
[2012-03-28] A Google User: Cryptic crossword The first three groups were excellent. The fourth, however, was an insulting disappointment. Pack four has no cryptic puzzles at all, and the traditional puzzles are juvenile at best. No challenge. |
|
[2012-03-07] A Google User: Fun A good puzzle to learn the ins and outs of cryptic crosswords. |
|
[2012-03-06] A Google User: Andrew Great fun and challenging enough to keep me interested. |
|
[2012-03-04] A Google User: Great pass time |
|
[2012-03-03] A Google User: Alright Easy to use. Puzzles could use a difficulty rating and be added more regularly. But a great crossword app all the same. |
|
[2012-03-03] A Google User: Decent app Easier than most cryptics, good for those looking for some easy crosswords to ease themselves into more difficult puzzles. Interface is excellent. |
|
[2012-03-01] A Google User: Easy enough to do when tired. Hard enough to exercise the brain. |
|
[2012-02-26] A Google User: Excellent A great way to pass the time than playing video games. |
|
[2012-02-24] A Google User: Teazel cryptic crossword Great user interface. . Entertaining puzzles. |
|
[2012-02-23] A Google User: Reasonable distraction for a couple of quid However, clues are generally too easy, making too much use of anagrams and often clear just from the "straight" half. I'm a relative novice at cryptic crosswords and it only takes me about 15 mins to complete each one. For comparison, I often fail to solve the Evening Standard cryptic crossword even after spending an hour or so on it. |
|
[2012-02-19] A Google User: Excellent. Great for passing time. |
|
[2012-02-18] A Google User: Good game Really enjoyed the puzzles - just the right degree of difficulty to keep me entertained. |
|
[2012-02-18] A Google User: Excellent, just what I wanted. Simple to use and the clues are just at the right level for me. The odd crash on startup but never when playing. |
|
[2012-02-15] A Google User: Mint Cracking |
|
[2012-02-15] A Google User: Stephen Well designed app but crosswords are fairly easy. |
|
[2012-02-14] A Google User: Crossword cryptic Good but a bit too easy |
|
[2012-02-11] A Google User: More packs please |
|
[2012-02-09] A Google User: Best cryptic crossword on Android If you like cryptic crosswords then buy this |
|
[2012-01-13] A Google User: A Nice Diversion Easier than many newspaper crosswords but still with cleverly encrypted clues, this app is a really lovely way to unwind, with clues and solutions if you need to cheat! |
|
[2011-12-04] A Google User: Great app Great app! Easy to use and very fun. I do wish they'd update with more puzzles though. |
|
[2011-11-06] A Google User: Well worth the price Possibly a bit too easy, but great value for money. I wish there were more. |
|
[2011-10-28] A Google User: Great puzzles Clue list mode is brilliant and easy to use. Great interface but could use more puzzles - even if it had a 'puzzle of the week' |
|
[2011-10-27] A Google User: Great crossword Easy input and good level of cryptic clues. How do I get access to more xwords? ! |
|
[2011-08-12] A Google User: Well executed app, needs more puzzles adding though. Also, it keeps forgetting that puzzles have been completed. Samsung Galaxy S2. |
|
[2011-08-12] Russ: Well executed app, needs more puzzles adding though. Also, it keeps forgetting that puzzles have been completed. Samsung Galaxy S2. |
|
[2011-06-23] A Google User: Best crossword app I've found but I've completed them all now so some new tricky ones would be good. |
|
