reviews
Been playing for a day and I really enjoy it! The game is fun and challenging, but not frustrating, and I appreciate that the difficulty can be adjusted (I play on medium). There are sometimes ads but they do not interrupt gameplay. The coins you use to get hints can be obtained reasonably without forcing you to spend money, which I think is important too. I recommend trying the game!

As many have stated the game itself is very enjoyable, however, ads have gotten ridiculous in the last few months to the point of unplayable. Most are 30 seconds long then show a second splash screen that has no x for 5 seconds then a count down for 5 seconds until the x shows up. Good luck though, the x is so small you are going to click the ad anyways. Having a 30 second ad that turned more into a 45-60 second ad when just trying to navigate menus is completely unacceptable.

I've been playing this game for years and its gotten better through time. You guys are awesome.???????? I'm really hooked up with the daily challenges. I love the daily password you added recently. Amazing!???????? I wish if you could add more of those. Also from the mini quests, specifically, more of the one's that you have to challenge yourself. Those ones that you can't miss because the whole puzzle will be wrong. Wow!???????? I'm loving it, hugely!????

I downloaded this game 2 days ago and so far I have no complaints. Some puzzles can be easy or tough depending on how much you know. The music in this game is very relaxing and sometimes it even makes me dance a little bit lol. I love that there is no time limit in finishing a level or certain amount of moves. In my opinion, this game is very relaxing and I learn something new along the way. Best part is, not so many ads!!! You only receive 1 ad after every puzzle completed.

The game is very enjoyable. I like that you can pick the different levels that you want to play. I realize companies need to earn income the number and frequency of these ads are a bit much. Biggest issues are 1. The number of ads that interrupt the game 2. The duration of the ads that interrupt the game 3. The fact that you can't x out of the ads without going to Google store is annoying as all can be.

I play to exercise my brain. I suffered a brain injury while serving in the military and have difficulty learning new things and recalling names and words of things learned long ago. I used to play alot and completed hundreds of levels. I recently had to start over, because I don't remember how I was signed in before. Anyway, CodyCross has been VERY USEFUL in helping me exercise my brain. It's a wonderful exercise for anyone. I highly recommend it.

Game is slowed by an excessively long time to load the app. Then the loading stops and waits for you to click a start button halfway through loading in order for it to continue. Then you have to click again (4x total) and wait for chest to empty in order to finally get to a screen where you can select a game. While you are playing the game an icon of a camera with the word "get" appears and blocks your view of the game until it is clicked. Ads aren't bad though.

Codycross could be a great game if it weren't so insecure. After playing several levels, I am frequently ask "was this a good puzzle?" "is the game too hard?" "can you please rate us?" "did you know you can change settings in the menu?' If the game stuck to being a game and didn't make me take a survey every time I played, it would actually be pretty good, but until it changes, it will never be more than an average game with confidence issues.

Fun, but too many ads. The ads were super annoying, so I paid to get rid of them. Now in every level it asks if I want to watch an ad to get a gift. It won't go away! There's no setting to make this annoying thing disappear. Edit: In response to Fanatee's reply, I do understand that many people might still want these extra gifts from ads. That does not have to be delivered in an annoying way and there's no reason to exclude the option to disable it entirely.

Pretty good overall. A basic crossword clue type game. Not to many ads. Some of the answers can get a little repetitive and samey, and occaisonally the clues can be argubly wrong the semantically pedantic. But my only real complaint is its constantly asking if questions about movies stars are fun after every level.

I like the game. It's fun and at times challenging. I like that there are different types of puzzles to play. One complaint would be that some ads require you to press the x or escape button four (4) times!? to get back to the game. It's annoying. Otherwise good game.

Love the game! Lost one star as since the last update it crashes at least once a day, and today it froze. Either way I have to restart the app and more often than not I end up losing a reward.

The clues are definitely created by men. Would be nice if they could work on not using stereotypes. I'm generally not too put off by that kind of thing, but so far it's throughout almost every puzzle. I'll be uninstalling and finding something else. It's a shame, I enjoy the game play itself.

Enjoy the game but takes forever to download, Ads between every level is annoying, especially if you get through a level fast. They have a no ad option but its 8.99 which is ridiculous when no amount of money on these games is a reward. Would give 5 stars if the game would show fewer ads, again an ad after every level is annoying.

Great game - played for 4 years but just got a new phone and data won't upload across. I'm not starting again. Sad times. Shame when it's the same phone, just an upgrade. Support have contacted me and I'm sorted. I do get frustrated with American spellings and other spelling mistakes. Otherwise good brain training.

Love this game so much BUT it looses 2 stars for the ads and I refuse to pay almost £10 a month for a game I enjoy playing on the toilet.... The ads are so intrusive and u have to click several times just to make them go away. If there was a no ads option of one payment of £10 I would do that as the game is awesome... I'm probably going to stop playing as the ads are just too annoying ☹️ I'm sure they were never as bad as they are now...

Good game for passing ten minutes here and there but then advertisements are far too long and multi-windowed meaning there is actually more time spent trying to get through ads than actually playing. I know some will think 'just buy it' but it's not like most people have disposable money at the moment so unfortunately I will uninstall and just play pool app lol.

Not bad, but once you've spent your tokens/coins there's practically no way to accumulate more without paying money or watching an ad for ONE token/coin (which is not worth it). Also, considering all the words out there, the same ones are constantly used (which gets boring). Lastly, a lot of the clues are either not entirely accurate or just plain bad. Good thing started here, but could be a lot better. (8 months later, no improvement)
noname694717, the 10/07/2022

I like the game when I can actually play without it freezing up. It freezes after every ad I watch to get tokens or assistants. It seems like I am having to restart the game, which requires me to restart my phone, more than I can play.

Nice main game with a lot of extra crossword games along with it. I'd like it to be harder, but still you need to think a lot. A good game for people who have memory troubles like me. I forget a lot due to age ???? After level 20 I noticed many of the words repeat but have different clues to them. Ads are after each game and not bothersome. Worth the download but I wouldn't pay for it. Make it harder and it would be a 5 star game.

So fun and just the right amount of challenging! If you like wordle and cross word puzzles, this is a great game. The ads come about every two puzzles I think (you spend a bit of time on each puzzle), but worth it to pay for ad free play.

Fun puzzles that make you think. I like the difficulty settings idea, but the base difficulty is good for me. There are ads but they can be skipped without waiting for thirty seconds like other mobile games.

Game is fun and the kids like it. However I am very concerned about the age appropriateness of the ads displayed. With a game where the main character is a friendly little cartoon alien, you do not expect to see ads for games that depict adultery, child abandonment, sexual exploitation of women, and graphic violence! Horrifying to try to explain that to your child. :-(

I'm only giving 3 stars because I have not received the books that you were supposed to get for helping with the missions. Twice I've finished missions in time and didn't get the book. The first was the mission about felines and the second was the one about statues. Don't show a book for the library as a reward if you're not gonna give it to someone for completing missions. Other than that I love this game.

It manifests as a good educational app to play to sharpen memory. However, 99% of the stuff here have terms and words from movies, stories etc. that NO average user knows, except for nerds. I quickly stopped playing this game because of that reason. The words and terms need to be more broadly-known to everyone, but ofc not that easy.

I love this game. It relaxes me, I play it everyday at work while I'm eating lunch and quite often for hours on my day off. But today my app icon was not on my phone screen. I had to go into Google playstore and manage my apps and hit cody cross and it gave me the option to play. I do I rectify the situation to get the app icon back on my phone screen

I love it. Even if I don't know all the answers they have the letters drop from other words that help finding the others easier. Very few ads. Fun and can keep me busy for a long period of time. Enjoy that it works my brain when I don't have much that does these days.

Really like this game but, had to give it two stars, after updating the app to the latest version it no longer supports split screen on my device!! (Don't know if this is the same for all devices)This is very frustrating as it's how I play the game and have done for as long as I can remember. Is there anyway this can be fixed and made so that the app is once again supported by split screen? I don't want to stop playing but I may have to find an alternative if I can no longer play it that way :(

I enjoy it. However there's a lack of words. I've just entered the second chapter (under the sea) and I've has 'dreams', 'Indian', 'legend', and 'bookcase' at least 10 times each. There's thousands of words (thousands I've had 3 times) out there - please vary this more.

A pity you have to manually click out of the ads to get back to the game. You need access to the internet to play this game as you cannot get past a chest without it. Annoying when one of the words used to describe the game is offline. Would be useful to know if there are any determining factors for getting extra letters

Absolutely love the game. The ads are long but I can deal with that. My biggest complaint is some of the ads don't have a close button or the "X" is so far in the corner that you can't get to it without needing to hit it many times before you can get to it.

Game is fun while giving a challenge without it being so difficult that you dont have to pay to play. I'd give it more stars but the game just all of a sudden started freezing up where I can't play it.

Great game ... I especially like the "password" daily puzzle. Wish there were more of them, like a category. I think $9.99 per month is rather steep to unlock the special categories, but the ads to keep the help features stocked up are not obnoxious.

I love Cody Cross. I had it on my iPad several years ago, then one day it just wasn't there. I'm happy to see it back! I do miss the setup with Cody crossing over various scenery though. If you enjoy newspaper crosswords you'll probably enjoy this. I like the little chime noises when you fill in the letters; I'm happy that exists in this version too. Cody u0026 friends are also really cute. I watch the adds to save up helpers for harder levels ahead.

So fun and easy... Happy point there are not really any ads and that's what I love!!! You can go to whatever level difficulty you want and I think it's very good for your brain!

I love that I learn something new every time I play. I appreciate that the levels aren't timed. Zero pressure. It's relaxing, educational, and fun. I also enjoy having the option to pick what level of difficulty I want to play.

Fun, challenging, educational. I enjoy games that challenge me and teaches me things at the same time. The clues really make u think, but are not impossible to figure out.

Don't get me wrong. I really love CodyCross. I'd rate it a perfect 5 if only for the fun factor and the developers' diligence. Problem is, I think the developers got too diligent. The Missions used to be just 2 at a time, now there are 3, and there are just too many items in each mission. I barely have the time to play the standard 20-set worlds anymore because I'm too focused on finishing the Missions before they expire. Please hit the brakes on this. Some of us have regular jobs, you know.

Wayyyyy to many ads. Its a fun concept but all of the gameplay is based around watching ads you'll spend more time doing that than actually playing any game. Im so disappointed I got tricked into downloading an advertisement watching simulator
