great game but since last update the ad banner cover the button panel. please fix asap! 😭 EDIT: since the fix (thank you very much) I can happily play on without issues! clues can use some more variety, I.e. the amount of times you get the roman numerals is a bit ridiculous. also, add some more GK clues which are more country specific, I.e. south Africans don't have a broad knowledge of American or European politics and history. great game, keep it up!
I liked the puzzle,BUT cluesvwerevmicroscopic and impossible to read, too! The pop up at tied up the entire game for one hour! Damn politic advertisements! I,I'm be glad once we vote and I hope all political ads and pop up GO AWAY then , too!a realm shame the Ads tied to my puzzle play forever! I'm uninstalling because of damn ad freezing this APP😮🤐😣🙄☹😬
The country code clues (of which there are a lot) let this game down, plus the odd really hard clue, even when set to easy mode. I've not completed a sing quiz without googling something yet.
In general the puzzles are quite enjoyable but I don't think it's for me. There's lots of "what is the 2 letter/3 letter code for this country or that language". There are too many words that are of other languages or old English that are not in current use, quite a few 'what is this word in a different language', I don't speak 8 languages. I thought that since I had to pick the region where I live and language I spoke, the app would give puzzles and clues accordingly, that was not the case.
Duplicate the questions after you seen them in previous puzzles; if you go from easy to the one above not medium which is below easy on the list; questions don't change on the keyboard as to sample basic demos!!!
Used to work fine on my old phone, but not on my new one, won't open properly, just opens a full page asking me to download 'Pic Quiz', I can't get out of that page, I have tried everything. My phone is a Motorola G7 Plus running 'Pie', I hope this can be fixed.
It's ok for some quick play, but the general layout of the app and the puzzles themselves are not very good.
could be better graphics, but it's simple, not much more really needed for crosswords.
Czech is very very very bad, most of the words does not match description, moreover the "ch" (single) character is not supported. It is so terrible as it looks like that developers used Google translator to create Czech vocabulary from English one.
Easy to read on my phone, good entertainment with variety of level choice.
Always love apps from this dev. But, WHY do some such as this one force starting on bootup and running in the background? Fix this, and I would give it 5 stars.
What's not to like,if you like arrow words then this is all you need,fully customisable, very playable and it's free
Since the last update it has become unplayable on my Lenovo Tab10, the ads cover the buttons on the bottom of the game screen.
It only opened once, and since then has had an error opening. Very disappointed.
Love this game. But the ads are still covering the buttons even after the update.
Meh. Some of the clues make sense but others are really obscure - needs a better middle ground.
I will give 3 stars for now mainly because theres not enough levels and the next level keeps saying coming soon but it's been months
clues for words in French are bummers...pls avoid them...also clues to television series of the 40s and 50s are too contrived...could dp better...
I enjoy doing the crossword it is very relaxing and helps me to concentrate more.
Really fun game, good questions. Could do with some newer ones though, but I really enjoy it
A handy time burner, not the most sophisticated presentation but I like it
The game plays well testing knowledge on many levels. 10/10 all round.
Too much code words. I mean like language code, elements code ... But still addict to this game 😉😅
Enjoyed old version, cannot download new version on Lenovo 10 tablet, very dissapointed.
I really enjoy this game. I like being able to adjust the size of the puzzle.
good game keeps you thinking quite hard even on easy level could be simpler 🤗
This app is full of the French words, Roman alphabets, topsy-turvy abbreviations & unknown people's name. What's up with that?
Needs more graphics and less obscure answers. Didn't hold my interest
I'm enjoying the game greatly and even learning from it. Two things that bug me though: 1) The ads are located annoyingly close to the buttons of the bottom of the screen and you tap the ad way more often than what you would like to. 2) It would be nice if the context of some of the clues are given, e.g. is the clue in the context of a verb or a noun.
