Like others, I paid to “upgrade” to this new version because many of the providers were no longer loading in the old one. Some of the interface changes are annoying, but I can live with them. The real problem is the leaderboards. In short, they don’t work. I can get to the screen where it shows the top few times, and mine, but clicking on the all times button brings up a blank screen, 100% of the time. I tried to reach out to the developer for a fix, and was ignored.

I paid for this app a few years ago and as of February 2025, it’s no longer downloading new crosswords. No way to contact the developer. :(

The app showed the option to link my NYT crossword account, so I paid for full version and suddenly now that option is gone. Deep in the faq on their website I read that support for NYT is no more. Wouldn’t have bought it if I knew that. Thieves.

I’ve been enjoying g this app for several weeks. Then, I noticed clues did not match puzzles, answer spaces were cut off on the right and bottom edges, Hints function stopped working. I deleted the app and reinstalled, but it still does not work the way it did last week.

I find there is no usable keyboard now with my iPad. The upgrade changed the keyboard, which I don’t like at all, and the keyboard on this app is still in the old larger format and can not be used on the puzzles.

Hit the upgrade button and was expecting to go to the App Store. So, I put my finger on the home button to switch apps and before I knew it, I had paid $9.99. NO other warning on the upgrade fee.

This is a great app and I use it daily. However, I used to be able to print out the puzzle so I could sit at the table with my family and we could all do it together. Recently, any time I try to print a puzzle, the page is blank. The puzzle shows on the screen just fine but it won’t print on paper. If it weren’t for that, I would’ve given it 5 stars.

I love doing a crossword in the morning, so this is one of my favorite apps. Also love how responsive they are if something is wrong, like if a particular crossword isn’t downloading. They are very quick to fix issues and respond to questions.
