Comments on Cryptex for Android

★★★★☆ Brandy Rajagh · Aug 11, 2021
Never kiss and tell. Let me play awhile 😏
★★★★☆ D S · Jul 17, 2024
I like the game, but I wish the hint button was literally ANYWHERE else. Played for only a day and misc licked it 3 times already while trying to rotate the last few wheels.
★★★★★ Mo Na · Oct 10, 2025
I have Cryptex with my play pass and love it! Fun to find words by category, and I am looking forward to unlocking the other game mode by progressing in the game.
★★★★★ Anri King · Oct 28, 2025
Great game it has riddles. Normal words and so much more!!
★★☆☆☆ Daniel Szymczak · Nov 12, 2023
Gameplay is fine, but it does not save progress. Every time reopen the app I've lost progress and have to replay completed puzzles because it didn't save. Edit: I've already logged in. I'm not losing all progress just the last ~1-2 puzzles. Ex. I start and finish a puzzle ("car parts") and move on to another puzzle and finish that puzzle. Then, when I come back to the app, I'm back at halfway through "car parts" with none of the progress beyond it.
★☆☆☆☆ Christie Fontaine · Sep 28, 2025
I didn't agree with their privacy policy. In Google Play it says this app does not collect data or give it to third parties, yet their Privacy policy states that it does both. I uninstalled it instantly.
★☆☆☆☆ Darlene Burgess · Jun 25, 2020
Tried opening game on my new galaxy a20. Ight opened, and I couldn't get any of the boxes do anything. Then ad popped up that prevented me form using my screen swipes. Looked like a fun game. Audio apps require internet and no, they aren't removable, at least most of them aren't. I tried to x out of them or use off but no joy. I also went into setting in game and turned off all sounds and audio, it still runs unless I turn ad speaker off, but there's a lag before audio on apps come back on.
★☆☆☆☆ Daniel Carmona · Oct 14, 2025
Is a good game but even with play pass it still has adds
★☆☆☆☆ B. N · Oct 10, 2025
No ads, with PASS? The game won't load, it's stuck on the opening screen with pop-up ads.
