Comments on Serious Crosswords - daily for Android

★★★★★ Sumudu Fernando · Jul 14, 2022

Good puzzles and I like the clueless ones especially. This is minor (for me) but it seems like achievements are borked... They worked once, but now it says I don't have any.

★★★★★ Andrea Scheuringer · Aug 31, 2020

Quicks are great for my daily commute. Love the crosswords - challenging and fun. Clean and no annoying ads.

★★★★☆ a_ k_ a · Jan 16, 2022

I really enjoyed the free subscription, wish I had the budget to keep it going since we can no longer watch ads for tokens. Developers have explained why in response to some other reviews. Content wise, some of the clues are a bit weird and occasionally repetitive, but still far better than any other free crossword apps I've tried. The difficulty is unpredictable; I finished some of the classic puzzles in 3 minutes, but struggled for hours on the cryptic ones!

★★☆☆☆ Terry Jordan · Jan 16, 2022

Disappointed that the ad account is still defunct forcing payment only puzzles, thought you would have got to the bottom of this issue by now and resolved it.

★☆☆☆☆ Ash M · Oct 4, 2020

Each time I leave the game and return later I lose my progress and have to start again... not good, eventually got fed up and deleted game. Would be very good if fixed as was enjoying the cryptic crosswords. Shame.

★☆☆☆☆ Steve Pringle · Aug 31, 2021

I was expecting 'serious' crosswords to be cryptic, but these are just Mickey Mouse "Bird (5)" clues that a child could solve. And what's with the weird grids with no black squares? Uninstalled.
