Ratings and reviews

This rating is in response to an old update that changed deleting conventions. It used to be that you could long hold the delete key, and it would wipe the entire word. Now, you have to tap the key for every letter. Doesn't seem like the biggest deal, but it absolutely eats up time for really long words (and because of the keyboard set up in-app, I usually end up hitting "l" more than once instead of the delete key). It's been messing with my scores :( Please fix this, that'd be great!!

Finally after 3 years of playing this app I've had all I can take off the crappy keyboard! It was fine about 2 years ago before the developers downgraded it to a sluggish, laggy, and very buggy affair, horrid to use, and was 'lorded' by developers as a great upgrade! (laughable) . Upgraded my phone to something much faster, yet performs even worse. You can start typing in one clue and then it randomly jumps to another whilst typing!! Very counter productive and frustrating! = UNINSTALLED 😖

Originally thought that this was an excellent UK English crossword. And in some respect it is, functionally, but some of the abbreviations used in some of the clues do not make sense. E.g. "mo" on some planets is short for month. That was a recent example. The puzzle itself appears to work well and the graphics are clear. Just the clues are irritating sometimes.
