HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (62 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Did not Transfer

I’ve had your puzzle for years and enjoy it. I pay the monthly fee for no adds and that makes it more enjoyable. However, I just upgraded to a iPhone 18 Pro Max and when I transferred all the Apps, they all worked okay, with the exception of your Daily Crossword App. It’s not only showing all kinds of Ads, but even worse I can’t get out of the Ads to play the game. Please help or I have no choice but to cancel this app and cancel the monthly payment and inform Apple why.

★★★★★Oct 11, 2026
Cannot use offline

I like the App, but I wish it would allow you to use your purchased puzzles without an internet connection. If I want to do them somewhere that has no WiFi I am out of luck.

★★★★★Oct 2, 2026
Losing follower

I have been playing your game for years. Love doing your puzzle each morning. Now I have to pay to play or watch video. I have to pay to get a hint. Well, bye! See ya. I am out!

★★★★★Sep 26, 2026
Garbage App

Impossible to exit out of ads. Not worthy of my energy any longer. Just delete this app & go ride a bike.

★★★★★Sep 22, 2026
Problem solved

After contacting tech support, my ad-free version of the Penny Dell Crossword app was fully restored and works flawlessly! To be fair, it was me who needed guidance on how to restore the app. (User-error) love doing the crosswords! Challenging but fun! Good variety of skill levels. Thank you for responding to my frustration and guiding me through the correction process.

★★★★★Sep 17, 2026
