Acrostic Crossword Puzzles App Reviews

The PennyPress acrostics are not as satisfying as the other brand.

It’s how I get to sleep at night, the only thing that helps my insomnia. I play it for 30-45 minutes and it wears my brain out enough to finally sleep. Works better than melatonin. Wish they had anagram magic squares as a game app though. That on is my favorite Penny Press game.

I been happily using this app for several years and played each puzzle at least twice. But they don’t seem to be adding anymore puzzles. When I attempted to email them from their service page, after I’d filled out the email form it told me that using that form was forbidden (say what?). Anyway, I’d love it if they’d add some more acrostic collections but I guess I’ll have to find another app. Ce la vie!

This is a great acrostic app. I’ve bought dozens of puzzle packs. Tech support is very good too. They went to great lengths to help me with a problem.

This is one of my favorite apps. Really like the different challenge levels. My favorite game is Acrostics by Cyn. Would like to see more of those. If you like word games and haven’t yet tried an acrostic, you should give this one a try. When I recently had a problem with the game not opening, I couldn’t believe how responsive Michael was. He had the problem fixed in no time. Really appreciate it!

I have played these Acrostic games by Egghead for years and absolutely love them. The format of the puzzles runs smoothly and I like the fact you can have a little help if you want it. The content of each puzzle is interesting and often amusing. A good form of entertainment that keeps me on my toes mentally. I had a problem with my iPad and lost all of my purchases. Egghead responded immediately and restored everything right away. Good people to work with.

I do these daily, why did you take away my volumes? If this is a new system it stinks. I would like my volumes back Linda Hoffman

This is one of my favorite apps. I’ve enjoyed acrostics since I was a kid, but doing them on paper required lots of transferring letters from one part of the puzzle to another (it reminded me of double-entry bookkeeping). With this app, both halves of the puzzle are kept in synch, so it’s easier to guess words and see if they fit. The puzzles themselves are well-constructed, with a mix of tricky and easy clues. And the add-on packs let you keep refreshing new puzzles at a reasonable cost. Many t

These are some excellent puzzles. My mother used to buy these magazines and I’d spend hours trying to figure them out. Fun to see them in an app. However some of the puzzles are very dated.

It's a good interface, with just enough hint-offering to bail me out from time to time. I wish I could make the font bigger, but that's why they well cheap reading glasses. I do wonder if there will be more and harder ones on offer once I've worked through these... Oh, and thanks for the kids-level puzzle - time to get the grandkids to try this out!

Such a great challenging puzzle!! Puzzle Baron is the best one, due to size of puzzles and fitting on cell phone!

I really like this game and it’s interface. Puzzles are challenging and fun. Please add a daily challenge and you would earn five stars!

Been playing this for a while now and really like it, but just purchased more Puzzle Baron acrostics and now the app shuts down right after I try to start it. ???

My favorite game, but it’s been a week since it would open. Deleted twice, re-downloaded, rebooted the phone, chanted magic incantations, laid on hands, burned incense… Nothing! Tap to open. BLINK! Gone!! Help, please.

Real enjoyment. Only wish the words wouldn’t slide up and have to pull it down every time I use the keyboard

This is by far the best acrostic format I have played. I have made more than 75 in app purchases for additional puzzles. Lately, it seems the “new” purchases are repeats of old puzzles. I don’t know if I should purchase any more add-ons. I don’t want to buy the same puzzles I have already completed. Can you tell me if this trend of repeating old puzzles continues? Update: I have updated this review to 5 stars. Michael with customer support worked diligently to correct the problem of repeated pu

I have been using this app for years and have enjoyed it immensely. The mix of of puzzle choices is excellent and entertaining. And the customer service is incredible. I encountered an issue with the latest update and received an almost instant reply with information on how to solve the problem. I cannot recommend this app highly enough

I love this app! However, since the 4.8 update of June 2022, there seems to be no way to purchase puzzle packs on ipad. I've contacted support with no response, I'm hoping posting something here will get someone to notice. I've tried many times and while I can see the packs for sale, there is no way to purchase them. Please help! EDIT: problem fixed in new 4.8.1 version! Support was great!

I have been enjoying this app for at least two years. Now all of a sudden I cannot see the list of my Unsolved Puzzles. Need help with this or I can no longer select a new puzzle and play the app.

I have subscribed to their games for years and love them. I reached out with a question about replaying some and got a response within minutes that addressed my query. Great customer service and great games and format.

This is one of my favorite puzzle types, and the app makes it easy to play. I would LOVE it if there were a way to hide puzzles I do not wish to solve, however. There seems to be no way to do this,.

I've loved acrostic pizzles for years and am delighted to find the Acrostic app, As an aging adult they are just what I need to help keep my mind sharp and still have fun.

The app plays well on the IPad but on the M1 MacBook, despite the store saying it will work on Macs, you can't enter letters into the grid. Instead you hear a beeping noise every time you try. So, a very mixed review.
