This is my favorite crossword app. It has tons of daily crosswords & is free with no ads.

Only the menu/settings are adjustable in a different language. The puzzles are in English only

The free cw from sai works for me in braille using ipad, voiceover and a braille display. Imagine my shock and horror then (eek!) when, after plunking down my ten sheckels, I find the classic version totally inaccessible. I considered suicide :) but lack the energy since I quit coffee. Please, pleas, pretty please, with sugar and spit, fix the classic version so voiceover users can use it. If not may a thousand ernes defile your windshield. If you need beta testing or feedback just holler. --Brian Tew

Can no longer print. Really? Who is in charge of testing?

It seems like the developers just walked away from this app. There is no support whatsoever. I’ve been waiting months for them to fix the problem of being unable to print out the puzzles. I get a generic answer that “they are aware of the problem and working on it” but.....months??? C’mon guys, you charge a pretty steep price for an app that has no developer support. Wish I could get my money back. Won’t be downloading any more apps from Standalone, that’s for sure!

Ben whatever the heck his name is, wrote ALL the “beginner” crossword and let me tell you, a college educated woman , can’t do one of them. It is frustrating to the point of wanting to throw the whole thing out the window. I knew answers for some of these but he used obscure words and people the average person couldn’t possibly know. If you’re a PhD geek, or a new york times player, great, I chose it for beginning puzzles . No way.

Used this app for 10 years. After paying for it, they lost most of their good puzzle providers. Then frequent syncing issues between iPhone & iPad. Developer very hard to deal with & constant issues. Lost thousands of puzzles today - just disappeared - I’m done now. I will never, ever buy any app from standalone inc again!

Year after year, this has been the best iOS crossword app. Don’t know what I’d do without it. The gameplay, the configurability, the use of screen real estate... all best in class. I just wish it still handled NYT subscriptions like other crossword apps do.
