"Excellent Crossword Programme updated vert frequently"
2011-11-02 08:47:08 | By riccioli–2008
| Version: Crossword Forge 7.0.Two
No cons . most likely more interesting features in the months to come.

"Works well, in trial mode, but no license key!"
2011-01-30 03:53:35 | By bungalow7777
| Version: Crossword Forge 6.1.13
Works well. I like it.
I paid via credit card for a license but haven’t received one. Their help email address is not taking email (48 hours). So I suspect that they have ceased trading. Suggest you don’t buy until I post a correction to this review.
They may just have email probs – but at the moment I am $49 down.
Problem solved by indeed good customer service. I called them, left a message and they called me right back with a license key. Weird email problems – not sure on whose side – they couldn’t mail me and I couldn’t mail them.

Not only is making crossword puzzles effortless, but tweaking the puzzle and the clues is very effortless and intuitive. It is updated regularly. You can choose which fonts you want to use, whether to have a word bank show up, etc.
Incapable to import crosswords from other programs.
This is the third crossword application for Macintosh that I have purchased, and it is by FAR the best one. A duo years ago I suggested adding a feature to enable dangling indents for the clues, and the next release incorporated this feature. I recommend it whole-heartedly!

"Best crossword application I've every used!"
2010-10-22 16:49:41 | By denny Packard
| Version: Crossword Forge 6.1.Ten
Crossword Forge is the best crossword puzzle application for Mac of the three (or Four?) that I have bought. It’s effortless to us, very pliable, and frequently updated. I wrote to the developers with a suggestion, and it was incorporated in the next release.
None that I can see.

"A good addition to any teacher's toolbox"
2010-07-21 08:06:59 | By loehman
| Version: Crossword Forge 6.1.8
Create crosswords in a multiplicity of formats, including numerous versions with the same words (maybe your students don’t copy, but mine do).
Control all aspects of the puzzles (font, sizes, headers, background).
Printed crosswords are beautiful.
No word bank, but you can import from a text file.
Not intuitive; you need to read the manual.
I would like an export to Word document so I can format it to fit on one page.
Overpriced relative to the education market.

"Bad customer service"
2010-04-08 Nineteen:04:23 | By merton23_dotmac
| Version: Crossword Forge 6.1.Five
Joy program. I make crosswords about our family vacations. Everyone loves them.
I bought this a few years ago. Downloaded the update. It wouldn’t upgrade. Attempted to charge me again. Sent an email about it. Never heard back.

. that can be fairly useful in an educational setting. Very attentive customer support, albeit no upgrade path was suggested after version Four.Five except repurchasing the program at total price. This seemed both arbitrary and a bit offputting to me, an early adopter, especially since the program has not gone through a leap in features that would justify paying for it twice.

"My kids like the puzzles"

C.F. works excellent and my kids like the crosswords and word searches. I’m amazed at how often the maker sends out updates. I’ve never had any problems ("issues" are something people debate aren’t they?).
