Puzzles are good and app easy to use. Spoilt by puzzles not loading. Seems worse when loading weekend puzzles.

The “update settings” notification still comes up when opening the app. The problem of not skipping filled squares in crosswords still shows no signs of being fixed.

Most recent update now means you have to scroll to see the whole crossword, it’s rubbish. It wasn’t broken, why was a change made to make it worse?!

Ok for some puzzles but constantly dumps Sudoku entries if you close the App or leave it for a couple of hours. Very annoying

Since version 2.2, as soon as you close any of the puzzles your entries disappear. Rubbish!

When selecting clues directly, this version does not skip pre-filled squares at the start of a word.

The latest update is really poor. Now on my phone screen the space for the clue is much bigger than it needs to be, and this means that the grid is even smaller than it was. I used to find clicking the correct part of the grid quite difficult as I have a tremor, but now it’s almost lmpossible. Also the letters in the grid are increasingly difficult for me to see. The button to check an answer is now on a separate menu, and this is also annoying. This is a totally unnecessary “update” which is more style than substance. As a direct result I may have to end my subscription as I’m finding it difficult to use.

the recent update has improved the crossword layout but the sudoku is dreadful - the greyed squares are far too distracting making it very hard to complete it and quite a strain - not the idea of an enjoyable puzzle. surely this was not tested first by users? please remove the grey backgrounds and just go back to bold numbers first pre-filled squares

I use this every day, so the interface is important to me. A recent update did show some improvements - the crossword fits on the screen now, which is a welcome change. However, on Sudoku the 'given' numbers now sit on a grey background, which is incredibly distracting. I'm finding I can't complete puzzles at all. I'm sure it helps some people, which is fair, but the lack of foresight in not making this a selectable option is a disappointment. Haven't seen any crashes since the update, so maybe that's improved, but so far for me this update is more of a downdate.
