Crostix App Reviews

59 add

Love it - worth the $4!

The price was a bit off-putting, but I consider it 4 bucks well spent. I even bought the additional books. Am now waiting on the next addition. Hurry up guys! :)

Excellent App!!

Ive been playing this app for over a year. Easy navigation, clever puzzles, and there are often more added. Well worth the price!

Excellent

Good use of brainpower.

Love this game

Challenging puzzles in a simple format. One of my favorite games. I never get bored with it and appreciate the lack of bells and whistles.

Beautifully developed

So cleverly designed. Totally love the format. So happy I found this.

Works Great!

Easy to use and stable. Extra tidbits of information about quotes after crostix are solved.

Inconsistent Quality and sells Unsolvable Puzzles

I have them all and up to the Elementary series of Sherlock Holmes puzzles averaged 97% with no hints. Most puzzles were good and others like headlines or cartoon captions were weak. I am a long term Acrostics fan having worked every book in print. I am also a Sherlock Holmes fan having read the complete works three times. I say this not to brag but to make clear that the Elementary series of puzzles is unsolvable. The purpose of a puzzle is to provide an entertaining challenge not an impossible task. Even using a Google search to assist in answers - which I seldom do - did not work. I will think twice before buying another set of puzzles from these folk.

Great App

Ive always enjoyed this app and honestly havent found anything remotely close out there.

Love the New Elementary, Watson Puzzles

I like the app a lot and play it frequently, but I find many of the new puzzles too easy - like the Headlines - or not very interesting. The new Sherlock Holmes based puzzles, called "Elementary, My Dear Watson", are intelligent and challenging. For me, theyre the best Crostix puzzles so far. If there are more like this out there, I want them!

Excellent!

I absolutely prefer doing acrostics with a pen on paper, but when that isnt feasible, this app is the best alternative. Great variety, good interface, and interesting clues.

Crostic

Superb. I love every one of them.

Great brain fun!

I love Crostics and these are a great mix of easy, medium, hard and brain explosion! Well worth the small amount you pay.

Unique app that well done

Ive owned this app for awhile and feel it is fun and challenging. I like the variety of puzzles available.

So addictive

Easy interface with appropriately challenging puzzles. I love it.

The Elementary set was the best so far

59 of 60 solved without help, but most very tough. Looking forward to the next set.

Fun

It is refreshing to have clues that do not focus on names of movies or actors or similar trivia, though I havent tried a hard one,yet. For the less difficult puzzles, at least, one just needs a good vocabulary.

Fun

Pretty good UI and fun puzzles. Nice to be able to get a good shot of acrostics.

Our new favorite

If you find this game, you will love it! Because youll never find it unless you search for and love anacrostics :-) Kudos to both mother and son. It is a great game, and we love the quotes!

Lots of fun

I enjoy this a lot. I do wish that the scores for each word would be kept somewhere so I can see how Im doing.

Best acrostic app available

I have become addicted to solving these puzzles with my morning coffee. They range from fairly easy to very challenging. The clues are fair, literate, and accurately define the answer. Thats what I expect from a well-written acrostic. Just as I was nearing the end of the list of puzzles I found that I could buy another batch for a small fee. I especially enjoy the Sherlock Holmes puzzles. Well worth the nominal price. Keep them coming!
