★★★★★ Love the game but hate hate all the ads way too many to enjoy the game
★★★★★ Not going to watch an ad before I get to even play one round of the game 😂 you people are in over your heads with the money hungry antics. Happily deleting and will continue to enjoy unlimited real life crosswords.
★★★★★ And the ads are longer it seems to me.
6 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ Game stopped working all of a sudden.
★★★★★ Love the game but it freezes up when I complete a puzzle. If I manage to get to the next screen it tells me I need to be online. None of my other games has this issue.
★★★★★ Faz cinco dias que ia anúncios entre os jogos estão atrapalhando. Não dá para tirar o anúncio, mesmo após passado os 30 segundos. Toda hora tem que ficar saindo do jogo e entrando de novo. Falta de respeito.

★★★★★ But now, there is a 10 second black screen before the ad starts.
★★★★★ Every time an ad comes up, you re stuck on it… no way to get out of it and go back to codycross… tried playing a few times, got stuck and had to restart every time… to get stuck again… what s the point???
★★★★★ App freezes and crashes randomly.
5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ The actual game is 5 star but the promotion and interruptions remind me why I deleted it in the first place.
★★★★★ The adds were so annoying I deleted the app.
★★★★★ I have had this app for years. I used to love doing the puzzles, and this was a good app for just that with minimal ads. Now, this app has a million other things on it, constant pop ups you can't close, and too many…

★★★★★ Not going to watch an ad before I get to even play one round of the game 😂 you people are in over your heads with the money hungry antics.
★★★★★ I played solidly every day for a couple years but this is no longer one of the best puzzle games, now it's just a money grab.
★★★★★ I've had a subscription to this game for years and pay for a year rather than by the month.
4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ I understand you need ads to be able to update the app.
★★★★★ You have to use tokens to play everything but the one monthly updated game.
★★★★★ I loved the game but it wouldn't update
16 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.
★★★★★ Lots of fun and some learning along the way.
★★★★★ I've had this game on my phone longer than any other and I truly enjoy playing it.
★★★★★ Just a fun and entertaining way to exercise one's brain!
3 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.
★★★★★ I've wanted to go add free but it costs much more than other games I've payed for.
★★★★★ Older comment: My comment of three years ago about the ads still holds true but, as one might expect, they are longer (on average), and often take three or more steps to exit and paying for no ads is not worth it.
★★★★★ Worth it to me for the cost each month.

★★★★★ I love Codycoss helps my brain work more efficiently love the game
★★★★★ Helps the player keep their brain intact.
2 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.
★★★★★ New comment: I understand the ads sustain and increase your profits, but every one needs a quick out for two reasons: one, many of the apps we may already have which makes watching them both tedious and annoying.
★★★★★ Thank you so much for such a fun, informative, and fast-paced game!

Love the game but hate hate all the ads way too many to enjoy the game
I love this crossword puzzle but hate the constant promotions of other games! It is constant and ruins the game totally. The actual game is 5 star but the promotion and interruptions remind me why I deleted it in the first place.
Jogava com meu pai e adorávamos, mas desde que atualizaram a cara do jogo meu pai tem dificuldade de ler as dicas. A acessibilidade de leitura das fases ficou péssima na nova atualização.
Os anúncios sao bem rapidinhos, não atrapalha em nada. O jogo é bem legal e o app funciona bem.
Thank you for honouring Dolly Parton with the 9 to 5 puzzle.
