Kryptograms app good for
Im a huge fan of word games and this one keeps me entertained for a good chunk of time. The fact that its free is awesome and it definitely challenges the mind. The only problems I have with it are that it doesnt save your progress and sometimes your score is a little skewed based on whether youve played consecutive games or not. All in all its definitely a good download.
I am a big fan of of these, and its awesome to see this for the iphone. Well worth the money even if it was $5 Id still think this as a great buy!!!
I like the app, hope there will be more updates with more cryptos. Price is right. Thanks
a few problems arise when playing :
1. you cannot change the challenge only go by a pre-dictated order,
2. you cannot move on even if you are totally stuck,
3. you cannot get the right answer if you give up on a challenge.
Please fix that and it will be perfect
I really like this program a lot! I love cryptograms, and I enjoy being able to do them electronically instead of having to write in letters on paper.
But its still a little buggy. Ive had issues with it freezing up quite a bit, especially with the virtual keyboard locking up and not accepting any input (even "cancel"), and Ive had issues with cracks not working (not appearing as used, either, but not being able to get them to trigger), and Ive had issues with it not reporting the scores correctly (it froze on "5 completed" for the longest time, and then suddenly started behaving and reporting 15 completed, for instance). So there are still some things to work out.
Featurewise, I mostly like it. I wish I could make it not make sounds, ever, but aside from that I find the interface to be fine aesthetically, although Id kind of like it if punctuation didnt appear as a bubble but just as a punctuation mark within the word as well as above. I do wish there was a way to give up on a puzzle thats stumping me, but I did manage to work through the one that really had me beat (by cheating, with Google, on the trivia crack -- Id rather have admitted defeat and not gotten the points dishonestly, though). Id kind of like better directions, especially on how to use the cracks, which took a little trial and error.
I find the puzzles themselves very enjoyable, with a good level of challenge. Id buy expansions sets of puzzles, if they were made available.
I am enjoying the playing the game since I figure out how to play it. It needs more trivia and cryptograms. Instruction are difficult to understand.
Some bad moments
This app is terrible! Why is there no option to quit a puzzle and have it show you the answer so you can move on and try the next one? If I could give negative stars or no stars I WOULD! Perhaps if that issue is fixed in an update I would change my rating.... But for now, dont waste your money!
Not particularly interesting, and no challenge at all. Agree that its "clunky" and not set-up well with options for moving around. "Kracks" are bizzare as well as a bit goofy.
I solved them all and now they are just replaying in the same order
Same cons as other reviewers, especially wrong word usage (to/too etc.) and very limited number of puzzles. Fun while it lasted but now old hat.
I love this app it keeps me entertained but i have a problem that it will not let me continue after completeing the puzzle
You took my money quickly enough -- now keep the program current!!!! Throwing an app out there, collecting your money, then ignoring the app should not be allowed. Im tired of doing the same puzzles over and over.
