Comments on Barred Crossword for Android

★★★★★ Good Game Love it. Can't wait for ad free version.

★★★★★ English (UK) Language Great to find a crossword with UK spelling and British type clues.

★★★★★ Compact Crossword When offline it stops two or three times each game. However it resumes from the same point on restarting. Bit of a nuisance.

★★★★★ Crosswords Good although some of the clues are a bit obtuse sometimes.

★★★★★ Reloadcd4 Easy and as challenging as you prefer. Got it for my mom and she's loving it. Thanks for the free app.

★★☆☆☆ Update? What happened to my fav crossword? I updated and the whole thing changed from letter by letter to a crossword puzzle with q & a style. Uninstalling

★★☆☆☆ Way too intrusive adverts Thing itself is ok. But way too many video adverts with sound (and always a different place to cancel and usually requiring several clicks to actually cancel). Uninstalled.

★★☆☆☆ Hate the audio with the ads The occasional ads are tolerable but the accompanying audio is definitely not! After playing a game in a quiet place (library, a bus, a doctor's waiting room etc.) the sudden loud music means that you miss the advert completely because it is a mad scramble to kill the app or turn the volume to zero. Using this app in a quiet place risks the user becoming a social pariah.

★★☆☆☆ Utterly misleading This game is misleading. It suggests it's an English crossword. So far it's full of stupid things like American abreviations for states and other American spelt words ( these differ to English spellings ) copious amounts of Roman numerals, different words in French and German, any one number of periodic table abreviations and misleading clues unless you happen to be fluent in American....I thought it was going to be English??

• Many 1000's of clues
• You can choose from three different types of crossword grid: British, Barred and Arrow
• Generate crosswords tailored to your interests, ability, nationality and device size
• You can zoom in & out of the grid, and move around. Play with large grids on small screens!
