Ratings and reviews

The app suddenly plays YouTube videos with sound (content, not ads). Can't turn the sound off. Can't stop the video either, because there is an overlay menu that won't go away, which also means you can't actually see the video. App support shoots themselves in the foot with an inane email setup: They route incoming emails through a third party, which forwards them in a way that breaks the SPF record, so the emails are automatically declined. Then they respond by saying I should email them! Fail

Lately, the Crossword portion has stopped working. Two days ago, (07/28,2026), the crossword wouldn't load at all. Today, it loads then freezes. a couple of new artifacts on the grid (double lines, highlights entire column or row, freezes after a couple of answers). It also lost my history of solved puzzles. Not Happy! The crossword section now allows up to 6 answers before freezing! at this rate it'll be Christmas before it's fixed.

I generally enjoy the app but lately something has happened with the ads. When I'm reading a story, the amazon ads are so large that scrolling doesn't work, it continually interprets scrolling as clicking on the ads. Very frustrating, especially as I am a paid subscriber
