My only complaint has to do with some of the puzzles, which is out of the app's control. I often wish the app had a way for me to chew out some of the puzzlemakers, but that's not a feature request. As for the NYT puzzles, I didn't even notice they were gone.

Puzzle sources have disappeared. I'm getting zero or one new puzzles a day, with no NYT at all any more.

What happened to the NYT? Having to use more than one app for crosswords sucks, and this was better than NYT's app anyway!

I like the New York puzzle too. You need to get permission to put those back. I even paid a while back for some and I never received them.

Unquestionably the best interface across multiple platforms. This is the ideal Crossword app.

Standalone Crosswords has the best solving interface of any Android crossword app I've found. It packs a lot of info into a small space (including showing both clues for a square, though you can turn this off if you want) and has a lot of little subtle touches like moving between squares by sliding your finger across the clue area. The downloading and other puzzle organizing features are a little wonky but they work. Unfortunately the NYT has recently cut their paying customers off from direct integration with this app to force their customers onto their own crappy app and hide from them the fact that there are other good crosswords in the world. I encourage upset users of this app to give the NYT app the 1 star rating that this new policy has earned them.

If I can't download NYT puzzles, what's the point of using this app? I'll be getting my puzzles elsewhere going forward!

Get back the NY Times puzzles - that's the only reason I use the app. Your app interface is fantastic, the one for NY Times is very poorly designed. But again, without the NY Times puzzles, I'm ot inclined to use this app either. Thank you!

Any update on support for NYT?

Great crossword app that downloads various daily crosswords. Still being maintained, and as far as I'm aware it's the only Android app you can use to play The Daily Telegraph (UK) cryptic crossword on (with subscription to the paper's puzzle sure).

The app is broken. I contacted the devs. First response had nothing to do with Android version which they only admitted about after 6 months. The issue is that the app will NOT update the puzzles unless you're IN the list of puzzles page. The iPhone version does actually update puzzles every 6 hours as indicated in the settings. This setting is useless even if set to update puzzles automatically in Android. The dev seems to think that explaining some technical functionality would make it obfuscated enough to make me stop asking. If it works one way in iPhone why can't it work the same way in Android? Answer, because it's too much work apparently. Otherwise, the program is a crossword program. Just know, on Android you have enough to be on the list of puzzles to update the list of them. Doesn't do it automatically even if set to do so.

In the past two weeks it has stopped downloading NY Times crosswords on both devices.

New York Times puzzle download stopped working around 5/16/2017.

With the last upgrade, the curse is very slow to move and completed squares are not skipped. It is very annoying.

New York Times no longer downloads or updates because of authentication problems.

Used to be my fave app, won't install on my new phone😢

I bought this YEARS ago and it's still being issued and new puzzles are continuously added every day. The few times I had issues the dev contacted me directly I wish I could say that about more apps.

Used to love this app. Now cannot open. Always crashes. Now is working again. Loving app again.

Once I was able to install it, Crosswords has become one of the top five apps I use daily. Lots of great puzzles to enjoy. It is definitely worth every penny!

Great app but lately I've noticed that my progress will be erased. It can happen when closing the app entirely, leaving the individual puzzle or even just checking the info, its really frustrating

This is a great Crossword app. I love it, use it daily and have about 800 puzzles backed up. The only complaint and why it's not getting 5 stars is that they still, for a $10 app, haven't made a decent cross-device sync. The sync they do have is useless. We need an update with Google Play cloud saving! UPDATE: Normal syncing in the app does nothing. I've tried and have never gotten it to work. There is really no built in sync that works, at least for me. I have set up the syncing included in the current app but it has never done anything for me and it's a "progress" only sync. I go from a tablet to a phone and back a lot, and at this point, I rarely use apps that don't cloud sync. I use this app almost daily, I've rooted phones just to use DataSync and Helium with this one app. I think I need to start looking for a more modern app that allows me to cloud sync.

Love it! Always enough good new crosswords to keep my brain busy.

Best Crossword app for Android I have one issue though. The keyboard continually disappears for no apparent reason. When I get it back, the direction changes from across to down and vice-versa. Is there a setting to control this behavior?

This is great except for two major issues. There's no robust way to enter a rebus from phones, only tablets. (Where the keyboard includes a dedicated rebus key) And management of old puzzles, tracking which ones are solved, downloading ones other than today's, and the like is far too difficult. If these issues were fixed, it would be five stars.

Not Working on Galaxy Note 7 My favorite app until I switched from Galaxy Note 3 to Note 7...now it runs once right after install and after this...nothing but a blank screen! Please help!

Lg v10 on marshmallow Well developer,, I posted to the support forum and did not get a reply.. It now works. I will change my review. I have bought this app for several different platforms and I like it a lot. Tha Android version as updated is very good.

THE Best Crossword App!! Huge selection, endless archives, perfect gameplay controls, well proportioned, and excellent color scheme. Must have for all crossword fans!

Way better than the new NYT app for doing the NYT puzzle.

Can't enter multiple letters. Annoyiny!

Been using for years, definitely the best crossword app I've tried. It's a shame it comes up so low in Play Store search rankings. Would be five stars if simple instructions like entering multiple letters in a square were contained in app help.

I enjoy this everyday, except... I have been using this app for years, at least since 2010. However recently the app will load up to just prior to displaying the list of crosswords and then it's blank. No list, no nothing. I d/l the stand alone and it works fine. I have been to the site and cannot find any kind of way to contact support. I'm patient but it's wearing thin. And now still no update and no response from Stand Alone.

Pretty good By far and away, the best crossword puzzle app...on ANY platform. However, I think StandAlone Inc. forgot about Android. iOS has had a super nice and polished update in place for awhile. I would gladly pay for the same attention and facelift here on Android.

Still the best! I've been using this app for years on my droids and my iPad. I've yet to find another that's better. And the people at Stand Alone have always been very responsive to requests.

Excellent app, except.... Occasionally, it transforms a blocked/black space into a blank/white space and doesn't recognise when the puzzle has been filled in. Otherwise, it's a great joy to interact with.

Used to be great But now I can't download new nyt puzzles... Would be 5 stars without this issue

Great app, except... ...for the occasional blip when puzzles get downloaded without the clues, a problem that seems to be specific to puzzles from the Independent.

App just started freezing It was working fine but just started freezing.

I love the addition of the BuzzFeed crosswords. They're different and unique. I look forward to them daily now.

It is fairly expensive but it works very nicely on my NYT crossword account. I am using it in a Samsung Tab 4 7.0 and there is plenty of room for stubby fingers.

App freezes on new Android OS When trying to import from a file, the app crashes immediately. Happens every time since updating the OS.
