Hi! I see that Crossword Jam has been freezing repeatedly on your iPhone with iOS 18.5—that definitely shouldn't be happening so often. To help you out better, could you share if the app freezes right when you open it, during gameplay, or at some other time?
In the meantime, here are some steps that usually help address freezing issues on iOS apps like Crossword Jam:
1. Force Close and Reopen the App Sometimes the app's processes get stuck. Double-click the Home button or swipe up (depending on your iPhone model) to bring up recently used apps, then swipe the Crossword Jam app off the screen to close it completely. Then reopen it and see if it runs smoother.
2. Restart Your iPhone This can clear temporary glitches impacting the app's performance. Press and hold the side button and either volume button until the slider appears, slide to power off, then turn your phone back on after 30 seconds.
3. Check for App Updates Open the App Store, tap your profile icon, and scroll down to see if Crossword Jam has an update available. Developers fix bugs frequently, so updating might solve the freezing.
4. Check Device Storage and Free Space Go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage and make sure you have enough free space (at least a couple of GB recommended). Low storage can cause app performance problems.
5. Verify Network Connection Crossword Jam uses internet for certain features. Make sure your Wi-Fi or cellular connection is stable. Try toggling Airplane Mode on and off.
6. Reinstall the App (With Caution) If nothing else works, you might consider uninstalling and reinstalling Crossword Jam. Be aware this can sometimes erase saved progress unless your game is linked to an account or Facebook.
Please try these and let me know if the app continues freezing or if you notice any specific patterns in when it happens—this will help me assist you better! Are you comfortable trying these steps now?
