Absolutely love this game! This is my go to app when I’m winding down my day and getting ready for bed. I always find it interesting that the shorter ones seem to be so much harder to solve than the longer ones!

Looks like they have not kept pace with iPhone IOS changes. I am deleting and will check back later to see if the app is updated. Sorry to lose this one. It used to be pretty good.
The app constantly going down non working daily challenge. Too bad i ve been playing for years and loved the game
Your left leaning quotes get tiresome. How about being a little less political and let us all enjoy solving your puzzles.
I’ve enjoyed your app for years. However I haven’t been able to see my time v others for a very long time. Your app says you use GameStop. I’ve been registered with it for years but I can’t see my results on your app. Finally I have to ask what’s going on? It used to be so simple.
In the new app the Daily Challenge is a gray button telling me I have missed the puzzle and a new one will be available ‘hours’ from now! It has said the same thing every day since the new app launched. Please fix. I have really enjoyed this puzzle for a long time now and miss it.
Can’t open the daily challenge.
I loved the old version, 4.5 stars. Today I noticed an upgrade was available and now the app is unplayable. On my iPad there is only a partial keyboard viewable even if I change the font size. Once I was able to pull the keyboard up so I could see the bottom row of key but I am still missing the letters on the right edge of the keyboard. I can not find the old options, for letter count, etc. I have deleted the app because it is no longer playable. I sent an email with screens captures of the problems through your web site but have not received a reply.
Please fix so I can play on my new iPhone 14.
Since the revision of the app, it no longer fits on my ipad. Terrible. I have to scroll, print is huge, very confusing.
I’ve been playing this game for more years that I care to admit, and the thing I liked about it was the spacing of the letters.It was visually a much more comfortable game to play than many of its competitors. Now the letters are squeezed together and the keyboard is so tiny that it’s hard to hit the right word with my big fingers. I feel bad complaining because you said you spent a lot of time redesigning it, but I don’t think it was time well spent. Also, if there are 2000 quotes, why did you start off with that same tired Erica Jong quote about advice being something you ask for when you already know the answer? I’ve seen that one come up so many times and that was the first one I got today.
I have played the Daily Challenge every morning and it is no longer available. The Daily Challenge button is ghosted out.
Please tell me that you are going to add back the feature of inputting the CryptoQuote from various sources like the daily paper, if not, I think I will be deleting the app, have enjoyed immensely over the years, but not now.
All of my saver puzzles are gone . I can no longer input a scrambled puzzle to solve. You have desecrated this app
I’ve enjoyed this app for a long time, but the daily challenge now no longer functions. It appears to have something to do with newer iPhones with no home button. After completing the challenge, the app simply locks up and there’s nothing one can do but force quit out.
This app reads whatever is in your Cut and Paste buffer every time it starts up and does God-knows-what with it. Given Apple’s “paste from laptop” feature this can be very dangerous.
I love this game but I’m stuck on a level where every time I beat it I go to the next level but it keeps me at the same level.
I like to listen to music or books while playing. EVery ad and every time you move to a new puzzle, the sound cuts out. This is irritating and will make me stop using this app,
Another great app that I’ve had a lot of fun playing in the past, that I now have to delete because it shoves ads in your face. I just want the app I used to have so much fun playing.
I guess there was an update now it totally doesn’t work the letters don’t get replace just a complete mess for me and I’m getting something else do not recommend it
I was happy when the app was finally updated for whichever ios update that was. However, I am unable to record and see my rank in the daily challenge. Very frustrating!! I've tried emailing multiple times and have gotten no response. Please fix this issue or I'm deleting the app. It's been months...
I purchased this app several years ago but lost it when I updated my operating system and the developers did not keep up with the new operating systems. Now it is back, in a somewhat clunkier format, but it is full of ads! Where is the version I paid for?
I miss the old format where the new letter appeared above the replaced letter. With this current format, the replacement letter joins the jumbled word making it more confusing and less like an actual pen and paper cryptogram. I’m not certain what was wrong with the original formatted puzzle? This format is more frustrating than fun. I can’t recommend your app in this format.
How come you can’t “give up” on the daily puzzle and find out what it says?????
After waiting years -- YEARS -- for this simple but well designed game to offer an upgrade that would just add a round of new quotes to solve (you know like they did in newspapers for DECADES), the idiots at this company decide instead to completely redesign the game to make it much harder to read, harder to tell the colors apart (in both dark AND light modes) and....... drum roll.... added NO NEW PUZZLES. Here's a puzzle... who is this stupid?
You had a simple, easy to read font. Now it is large and does not fit the window.
I used to play this game almost every morning- Please update so I can continue to enjoy.
This had been the only app I used every day for, geez, years. I want to say 6 years since I got my first iPad.
This app hasn’t been updated for 4 years and now it won’t run. I remember reading that a beta version was in the works but at this rate I’m probably better off finding something else. Everything from my old review still stands, though the typos are less common I guess. I use this app mostly for the daily time challenge and sometimes to do the regular puzzles. Most of this review goes toward the daily time challenge. This is a below average app at best. It is frequently unreliable (no puzzles, unable to save your time/rank, frequently told "already completed" when it not). Also there are often spelling/grammatical errors and weird symbols instead of apostrophes/other punctuation that are severe enough to impede properly completing the challenges (and these are not errors that are within well known quotes, these are errors based on incorrect input wherein the overall famous quote is quoted wrong). Overall, I do enjoy the way the set up is but this is a haphazardly thrown together. Definitely not worth the $3 I spent on it.
I really like the daily time challenge, especially that I can see where I ranked. I also love the feature of making your own puzzles.
Please update your great app so that it will continue to work on newer devices and future updates. I start my day with your daily challenge.
Won't run
It started crashing and I could only do the daily timed challenge. Now I can't even do that - the whole site crashes. I love cryptoquote puzzles but this got frustrating. The creator is a nice guy - I've had to contact him before, so I hope he will fix the issue.
Just started the daily challenges. But I've been playing this game for about five years and enjoy it. UPDATE 8/25/16 I can't play the next puzzle because the game crashes. But the daily challenges still work. I'll go back to 5 stars when fixed.
I really enjoyed using this app on my iPad, but it only works in custom puzzle mode on the iPhone version. I've submitted lots of requests to fix it but nothing has changed. The custom puzzle screen needs to have a Solve and Scramble button on it or else it is unusable. It has all those features on the iPhone version, but prefer larger keys. Fix it and I'd rate it a 5.
Every time I hit "play new puzzle" the app crashes and closes. I open it again and send an error report and the not crashes again. This has been happening for weeks. Unacceptable; I paid money for this app, I should be able to play these puzzle whenever I want. This needs to be addressed immediately.
Generally fun puzzles - but the same letters are used too often: "A" is frequently represented by the letter "R" B=T, F=E, Q=C, etc.
Just bought this app and closed it and deleted it. Letters are huge and screen will not turn. A terrible waste of money......
This is the only app I've paid for and it hasn't been working for several days!! Refund my money or get this working again!!
Oh my, where are the daily puzzles?
No Daily Time Challenge for more than a week. I like this game, but what is up? Delete/reinstall no help.
What has happened to the daily puzzles? They have been unavailable for over a week.
Been getting "no puzzle today" error message for a week now.
What happened to the solve button in the input custom puzzle screen? You can type in a puzzle, but with no way to solve it! This is one of the most useful features of this app, being able to enter puzzles from the newspaper. Please fix it ASAP. Thanks.
I used to use this program every day to solve cryptograms. But when the author upgraded it in version 3.0, it was impossible to get out of the screen that had you input custom puzzles. So you would be stuck there. I've stopped using it, but I will be hoping for a workable upgrade some day.
I've had this app for a couple years and it's become my favorite time-waster, with interesting and intelligent quotes. I especially like the feature that allows me to enter a crypt I've found elsewhere. But the current version crashes repeatedly. Wait to download til it's fixed.
Constant crashes in this update. Surnames of those quoted are cut off. Wait to download until bugs are fixed.
I love this app! My favorite is the daily challenge!
OK quotes but game freezes on a blank screen. Frustrating.
