Crosswords With Friends

ok... little slow to load and I don't like that you have to login with Fb account, would prefer keeping it tied to my already existing Zynga account. Clues aren't very difficult, makes for a nice quick game and you can do previous puzzles back to 2013 so you aren't limited to one a day if you need to kill some time. interface is very good as far as moving between clues and entering answers.

Like the crosswords--nice and quick. Lose boosts easily because they are neat the keyboard. Haven't found a way to exit a game without accidentally using a boost for 20 free letters or something. Cannot see the completed crossword when finished. The only option is to replay and start over. Cannot exit a crossword and come back to finish it later. Why is this game not connected like other "with friends" games. On others I have a Zynga account and can play with friends. This is strictly solo play. I still play it bit it is really not representative of what the name implies or the company who has attached their name to it.

The game basically gives you a trivial puzzle once a day. However the game's title states, "with friends," which is simply a lie. I was expecting this game to give me challenging puzzles with which I could solve with friends via Internet and instead I see a simple singleplayer crossword solver. This game isn't for me, but I could see especially busy people enjoy the quick pace at which the puzzles are solvable. The UI is also made with much care.

I absolutely LOVE this game. The reason I gave it two stars I'd because I went to the bonus games and where it says they're free, it took 20 coins on 2 of them. On today's puZzle, it said 10 coins, it took 20. It's been doing this since day 1. If you fix this and refund coins, it'll help me feel like y'all want people to keep playing these games. The other thing is, the facebook login doesn't work.

No way to get rid of ads and no matter how precise you are in trying to close the full screen ads, you get taken to the link in the Play Store for whatever app they are pedaling. Crosswords seem a bit too easy, can usually finish in under 10 minutes without much work. Plus you don't actually play with friends, sort of misleading game title.

It's awful. I love all your games but this is so ridiculously easy it's not fun at all. Easy can be interesting, but daily puzzles you can fill in in under 10m without any thought is not for crossword lovers. The Saturday was the easiest of all! I'll keep it another week and hopefully it gets more challenging. Seems sad that these famous names are setting such bad quality crosswords. Could be a great app and idea.

I like the crosswords, even though they are on the easy side. Chief caveats: 1. Can't login with same profile as Words With Friends. 2. I can turn off game sounds, but not the sound for ads. They were so loud and startling. I can live with ads (although I would pay a reasonable amount to be rid of them) but for the love, give an option to turn off ALL sound, including ads.

Puzzles are easy. Coding is buggy though. I click on play a previous days puzzle for 10 coins. Coins get subtracted, a little pop-up says downloading puzzle, then goes back to pay 10 coins to play. This happens 80% of the time. Sometimes I'll wait 10 - 15 min to see if I can play the puzzle but no go. Fix bugs like that and I would rate this app higher. As it is, I would never spend money on this game because of bugs like that.

I have been playing celebrity crossword for a long time and don't mind the change over. Those of you that are complaining about repetitive questions or answers, like Oreo for example, obviously don't play crosswords much. I have been playing pencil crossword since I was a kid and repetitive answers are a part of crosswords world. Lol that's how it works. It's how we solve that hard questions sometimes. I am a bit confused about the "friends" part of the game tho. It's a bit misleading.

Why do the "free" puzzles use my (very limited amount of) coins? Is free not free in this app? Might have to find a proper crossword game then. May 9th: The "free" puzzles now cost 20 coins. I thought I would give it a chance to redeem itself, but this is ridiculous. Do not get this app if you actually want to be able to play the puzzles.

If you're expecting the same sign in platform as the Boggle & Words with Friends apps, you'll be disappointed. Surprisingly, this Zynga game currently only has options to sign in to play with friends via Facebook and/or Google. I'd much prefer to use my existing email Zynga account and play with users I've already connected with previously through other Zynga games.

Only been playing a few days, but really enjoying it. There is a new puzzle each day and you can play prior days if you missed them. You score by how quickly you can solve the puzzle. Not sure yet if you can compete against others like in Words with Friends, so I am unsure where the "with Friends" part comes in. But still like it.

Easy crosswords. Ranks you time against your friends. I rather like it. What I DON'T like are the ads! I would love to be able to pay to get rid of them. For each crossword you solve (about 5 mins) you get a video ad followed by a static ad. Ugh! Give us a way to lose the ads!!!

It is bonkers that you released this game without an option to even log into a Zynga account, that was dumb. It is a great premise/idea, and the design looks ok, but you need to clean it up. It needs more challenging puzzle options, and less obvious product placement advertising. If you need a puzzle master let me know.

Will be in middle of puzzle and it will just reset itself and u loose. Have to start puzzle all over. Can't be time that way. Free puzzles still take ur coins. Old backup puzzles still takes coins but they say free on them. Almost ready to unload this app. Love the play, just not the òther.

Fun game, addicting. Perfect for me, cause I love crosswords but am terrible at them. It's easy enough but still a challenge. App has some small issues that don't really affect the game at all but would be cool to see them fixed. That's the only reason I voted 4 and not 5.

Fun games- not too complicated and I like that there are plenty other swords available. There are a few things that I would like to see changed : 1. Ads are annoying and there is no way to exit without the ad taking you to Google play to try and force you to purchase. Why no option to remove Ads? 2. "Free" bonus games actually deduct coins despite what they say. 3. No mute option on the annoying ads.

I am enjoying the game but have one complaint. Older levels cost 10 coins, but each time I start a new one I am losing 30 coins. I am going to run out before I hit my next achievement. Which means I have to either buy more coins or watch dumb ads to progress further. That kinda sucks.

I love the game! It's well done and the controls and gui work well. The only thing that bugs me is how often *some* words are reused. For instance, it seems like "spa" is in every single puzzle. (Maybe not every one, but i keep seeing that word over and over) i know you can't keep from using words more than once, but some of them are a little too redundant. It does take coins for "free" puzzles (20!!)... actually, i did yesterday's puzzle, and it took 10 coins (like normal) but when the puzzle loaded, 20 more were missing!! (345>335>315) And 20 for today's, too! there is no "with friends" aspect (except for maybe the rankings)...

I really like the game, even though the puzzles are a little less than challenging. My biggest complaint though has to be that the "free" puzzles and the puzzles that cost 10 coins keep charging me 20 coins a pop! If this gets fixed and my coins are refunded I'll gladly give it a full 5 stars!

Not giving the coins I'm owed. I have completed 33 puzzles according to my profile and yet the game still hasn't given me the reward for the achievement of completing 25 puzzles. It does not state which kind of puzzles need to be completed therefore even bonus puzzles should count towards the 25. At this point the app is not worth it if it's not going to give me the achievements/rewards that it promises

It's not difficult at all, almost all the clues are gotten on the first guess. Give me some New York Times and not the idiots at People magazine, I could do these crosswords on pen with the lights off while I was blindfolded and being distracted by a bat flying around my head while my dog was whining at me to go out because my house was on fire and I just found out I have aids because my grandmother infected it into me when I was 4. It's literally a crappy Monday puzzle every last time

It's ok but generally puzzles have reptetive clues and there doesn't seem to be any option to choose simpler or harder levels of play. Cryptic or standard clues for example. Equally as many have mentioned already, apart from time to complete being used in weekly charts it feels very much like a single player game. After a week or so of play I've uninstalled as hasn't challenged me enough really

I am very impressed. The controls are easy to use and the game play is intuitive. The puzzles are fun but I do wish they had more puzzles that weren't so pop culture, so I'm looking forward to seeing what they'll come up with.

I love crosswords so this is a great game for me. However, I gave it 4 stars because there are spoilers. I should've expected it beforehand since I played Daily Celebrity Crosswords but the hints don't have to be so specific to the show. I just don't find adding characters' death necessary.

I am enjoying the game. Easy and quick games but as others have said, I thought it was to 'play with friends' but can't seem to find a way to do that. As well, enjoy doing previous 'free' games but they tend to take 30 or 40 of my coins each time, not 10. Will hang in a bit longer but may find this another annoying app and delete if I run out of coins and am limited to one game a day.

Fun game, easy to use this app. I'm not using the hints so it could be a bit more challenging however I like the entertainment value very much. It's more fun than the NY Times difficult puzzles

Pretty easy play. Repetitive clues between games. Had to figure out how to collect points. Ads are annoying. I may just quit if they take too much time away from game play.

Fairly easy puzzles ideal for if you've a few minutes spare, but don't want anything too taxing. The Qs do tend to have a US bias and terminology though which can make some tricky for non-US residents.

Disappointing. "With Friends" means nothing unless you have Facebook. The speed in which the puzzles are completed determines how many stars are earned with 3 stars awarded if puzzles are completed within ten minutes. The puzzles are very easy, so there isn't much of a challenge. Perhaps if bonus coins were awarded for completing puzzles in under five minutes there would be an incentive to keep the game. The bonus puzzles state they are free, yet it costs 10 coins for each one. Finally, unless players are willing to pay for additional coins packs or watch ads, they will not have enough coins to play the number of puzzles needed to complete achievements in order to earn more coins. I'm sure there are going to be kinks to work out, so no uninstall...yet.

I'd give it 5 stars but every time I spend the 10 coins to play a game, when I'm finished it charges another 10 coins afterward. Basically I'm double paying (mind you it's in game currency, but still). Fix that and I'll bump it up! Edit: It actually costs a total of 30 coins per game. Something is wrong here. Also it would be nice for a difficulty option. Edit 2: Even the "free" games cost 20 coins, this will make me not be able to ah soon, especially since I'm not going to pay. I should have around 500+ coins and I'm already down to 95. Please fix ASAP!

I really like crosswords, and I do find the game entertaining, but there are some really annoying things here. Repeated questions, way too easy, and... Product placement? How much did Oreo pay to be used in 6 of the last 10 puzzles?

Anything that exercises the brain is a good game. This one does in the different daily categories. The only sad part is that I can play off line. Non the less 5 from me

So I go to play today and it says 10 coins and it's taking 30. I had 460 coins and now I'm down to 140. Not cool. Fix it and I might consider playing again. Don't fix and your app is gone.

I was originally excited about the game until I realized you have to be on facebook to play with friends. Very dissapointed. Biased to Facebook users.

I don't think crosswords need a forced tutorial... are people really that inept? Rather tedious when games have that aspect, imo. Tutorials should be optional.

I wish there were more bonus puzzles to play that come out consistently. Once you've used all of your initial coins, you either have to pay or watch 8 three commercials (to each 5 coins each).

I guess the "With Friends" part is just for branding, because I can't really play with friends aside from the leader board (don't care about such things). Way fewer puzzles than Shortyz, so I'll just stick with that app.

Unlike Boggle and Words with Friends, you have to have a Facebook account to play against people. I dont and will not use Facebook so this game will be uninstalled. Zynga's reply is that you dont need Facebook to play the game. I never stated that you did. Without Facebook you cant play against friends like in Boggle or Draw with Friends.

I love doing the crosswords, from the news paper to my phone. But I hate that I have to wait the next day for a new puzzle.
