App Profile: Daily Crossword Arrow Solo

Rating: 2/5

I LOVE and play Crossword/Wordgrams daily. When I saw the solo version, I thought it would be up against the computer. It’s not. Solo rates you and gives you points based on how long it takes you to do the ENTIRE crossword at one time. Meaning, if you start a game you have to finish it right then and there or risk being rated poorly and loose points. This is no bueno. Example: I started a game and my kids distracted me for a few minutes. I still had my iPad in hand and awake (since I just started the game), however, when I put eyes back on the game 4 minutes had already passed. I finished the game in 2 minutes, but total time was 6 minutes on that particular game. I got a 1 start rating. In my opinion: the game should be set up like its sister game so that, yes, I may have missed my turn that round, but, I would have had the opportunity for redemption the next round. Additionally, if I pay a subscription for the sister app (crossword/Wordgrams), then solo app should be ad free once a player logs in and the account is verified. Other than that….the app developers are awesome and the concept they have created, I’m loving it. Keep up the good job guys & gals.

I’m a big fan of this style of crossword puzzle, it’s so unique and fun! But, the ads in this game are so annoying and pop up at the worst times. I literally was playing one game and 4 ads popped up all at times where I was just looking at my screen, thinking my of what the word could be. Seriously? There’s already a button at the bottom to play an ad for coins, and ads pop up at the end of a level automatically. Don’t have them pop up in the middle of a level! That’s just greedy and makes the game so unfun, I lose my focus and give up trying to play the game. Ads are ok but just don’t have them so the game is unplayable.

Love the game but the ads kept popping up while I was trying to guess a word and made me so frustrated interrupting my thinking process. At least play an ad after winning a match but during the game every minute is insane.
