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!

OK game but glitches now appearing that are frustrating. If you need more stars then you watch a video ad to get some, but you don't always get them. So you need to then watch ANOTHER ad. This causes you final time to go up needlessly. SORT IT OUT!! Getting really annoyed now. I do pretty well in the Weekly competitions , but when trying to buy packs with your winnings, the take the coins but don't give you the pack. I've started using other crossword apps .

Been using this app for a few years now love doing the daily puzzles and challenges. However, over the last 18 months or so, the app keeps crashing and freezing often losing daily bonuses or bonus puzzles. Get it sorted guys, obviously a lot of people are all having the same issues!!
