Ratings and reviews

Some clues are in my range, maybe a bit difficult but can be worked out with a little time. Some are harder but have a really good clue, and I have learned something for the next time I encounter one like it. There are a few that I don't think I would have ever solved (for example, because the answer is a British turn of phrase). All said, this is a great bargain. I used to pay this price for one magazine with only one or two Cryptics. It's great to have so many here in my phone.

Very nice puzzles, well worth the money for full version! Good to see the devs filling a niche that doesn't seem to have many other options on the play store. Occasionally the keyboard input is a little clunky when backspacing/reentering answers but this is nothing major. One side note is that a handful of clues revolve around British cultural references/slang; I actually appreciate the extra layer of challenge this adds as an American but your mileage may vary.

Clues aren't too difficult which is great for a reintroduction to cryptic crosswords. but for some reason I'm unable to get the full games of cryptic crossword lite
