Ratings and reviews

I love a good crossword puzzle and this(so far) is my favorite place to find one. There are no ads, it doesn't require me to submit to any creepy permissions (i.e. camera/mic usage without my knowledge, etc.), and it doesn't collect any data. No crazy graphics or sounds, just a great basic design with all of my favorite daily crossword puzzles. Highly recommend this app.

I, too, am losing the ability to download the LA Times, the Wall Street Journal, and just today, The NYT. I've had no issues with this app til now, so if an effective fix presents itself, I'll give it five stars. 10/08/2022 Disappointed to see the latest update disables the LA Times. Why, I wonder? And now, both the Joseph and Sheffer puzzles seem to have dropped off the map. Again, why? I've been quite happy with this app, but I don't like the dwindling list of available puzzles.

Been enjoying this app almost daily for several years now. However, in the last month or two, a weird glitch has occasionally happened where the crossword grid is not right, it doesn't match up with the clues and is full of 1 and 2 letter words. But overall, still a great app!
