CryptoQuiz App Reviews

Im always looking for ways to kill time while waiting for people or things to compile. This is a great game to keep my mind sharp.

Great game over all but keeps crashing 50% of the time on the win. Jds

So easy to pick up and put down at a moments notice, yet offers a nicely implemented word challenge.

This is a great word puzzles app. Fun to play on the iPhone, now it is even better on the iPad. Hours of fun!

Fun and engaging app. Wide variety of challenging puzzles.

Seems like not many puzzles they keep repeating over and over who wants to solve same ones over and over

Thank you for making this free and I hope your birthday was good. CryptoQuiz is a nice app for solving cryptogram puzzles. It is stable, easy to use, and works as advertised. I really like the ability to input my own puzzles -- in plain or encoded text. Thats useful when solving the newspaper puzzles with family members... we can do it in parallel. Surprisingly this is a feature only CryptoQuiz offers. Ideas to make it better (and Id pay for it if it had these features): - Id like to select or deselect puzzle categories. For example, I dont want to solve lists of words; Im more a quotation guy. Most of the categories therefore are in the way rather than enjoyable so Id like to delete or deactivate them. - Id like a view option where the puzzle is on one line and the solution letters are above or below. Thats more natural to how I solve it with pencil and newspaper. - Id like an option to turn off hints, i.e. it telling me when a letter is wrong. - Landscape (I use an iPhone) would be nice but not critical. Thank you for sharing your app.

App is lots of fun, but there are some crash issues to be worked out.

I love this game, instantly it became my new favorite game. It would be great it had achievement record and countdown timer. Thanks for making it free (:

Fun quick game I can just play on easy mode to pass a few minutes... although its difficult to stop once I start <grin>. It has a nice user interface and plenty of good puzzles that can be very challenging on hard mode (if you like em that way).

Great app. There is a crash issue where Im almost done with a puzzle, the app closes and a different puzzle with the same title pops up. Im wishing for a way to download more. Thanks for sharing this. Happy Birthday.

I enjoy this app, but it crashes when I win about half the time. Reopening the app takes me to the same puzzle, but not yet completed, so I already know the answer.

its ok

Enjoyed the puzzles until upgrade 2.0.1 Crashes when starting up. Please fix this bug!!!!!

The game is both good and bad. There are to many categorys. The auto random pic would be great it the game was only phrases. But there are too many lists. Words that have nothing to do with each other, other than they are in the same group. Things like ford, dodge, chevy, jeep. But on the good side once in the game the play is great.

This app is very good at helping to solve the cryptograms in the newspaper - lets you quickly try many different possible solutions and was so surprised how quickly it enabled me to solve them. Great tool if this is what youre trying to do. So far, the built in puzzles have been pretty easy to solve. Wish there were some tougher puzzles, but maybe Ive just not come across them yet. Has not crashed on me yet after several days of use.

Add puzzle feature buggy. Looses puzzle as no saved history feature. And, no hint button. Yuck!

I found that there was a spelling mistake in the Christmas Carols list. Other than that, I am enjoying the game!

This is a fun app but its missing a few features that would have made it great; When adding my own puzzle it would have been great to have the ability to NAME the puzzle. When saving an added puzzle, it would have been nice to save the answer. Would have liked the ability to work on multiple puzzles and set them aside for future working. (ie; a "puzzles I am working" on folder.) Would have liked the ability to undo one letter instead of stepping backwards through the whole guess process as an "undo..." I would Like clicking on one letter and undoing just that guess. (this is, again, in the added puzzles feature.) I noticed that some of the included puzzles use the same names and titles. (example; classic tv puzzles reuse some the same show names in the list) Other than that, its a lot of fun. Looking forward to any future updates.

The UI can use some work. Was annoyed by having to click done on the keyboard to switch views frequently. Fortunately there was a setting for it but perhaps just having the menu on top of the puzzle will provide easy access. I like the multiple views. Putting on Gap View is almost like playing hangman. Overall it needs some polishing on the graphics and UI but a decent puzzler game. Naming your own puzzle would be great either. Theres potential in the game but it may not be in the same ballpark as a paid app yet comparatively.
