Ratings and reviews

I'm enjoying the game greatly and even learning from it. Two things that bug me though: 1) The ads are located annoyingly close to the buttons of the bottom of the screen and you tap the ad way more often than what you would like to. 2) It would be nice if the context of some of the clues are given, e.g. is the clue in the context of a verb or a noun.

SUPER outdated interface; The settings are not applied properly. The only thing that can be given a good score is the fact that it is one of the crossword games in the Play Store that comes closest to the classics from the magazines. Some definitions are absurd, and the answers sometimes don't make sense. This This app could be so much better.

In general the puzzles are quite enjoyable but I don't think it's for me. There's lots of "what is the 2 letter/3 letter code for this country or that language". There are too many words that are of other languages or old English that are not in current use, quite a few 'what is this word in a different language', I don't speak 8 languages. I thought that since I had to pick the region where I live and language I spoke, the app would give puzzles and clues accordingly, that was not the case.
