1.2.1
2016-02-03
No new puzzles in this version; instead, some under the hood improvements, which include:
* Modified the logic that crosses out clues to eliminate some false positives. Also fixed a memory leak in that same logic.
* Added 2x- and 3x-resolution icons so they look better on higher-resolution displays.
* Improved the replay animation so it starts a little slower, picks up speed, and then slows down at the end. (Most people probably don't care, but it gives me lots of delight to watch a replay, and I wanted it to be a little more "organic". I'm very pleased with this result.)
* Gave the "back" button a larger hit target so it is easier to hit. A few other buttons got this same treatment.

1.1
2014-07-15
We've added a third book of puzzles (finally!) and brought the app up to date with iOS 7.
A handful of puzzles in Books 1 and 2 did not have unique solutions. In this version we tweaked these puzzles ever so slightly to ensure they had a unique solution. If you've already completed them, it won't change their status as solved. If you choose, however, you can reset the puzzle and do it over again with the updated clues. To reset a solved puzzle, open it up and double tap on the solved image.
Puzzles changed in Book 1:
* Puzzle 11: Tee Time
* Puzzle 15: Jester
Puzzles changed in Book 2
* Puzzle 5: Mogul
* Puzzle 8: Guitar
* Puzzle 14: Lucky
* Puzzle 25: Catch
The trick about reseting a solved puzzle and some other "power user" hints are listed on the website: crossdots.net
Shout out to Jan Wolter's excellent website, webpbn.com, which offers an open source solver program. We used it to double check all the puzzles as they were created to ensure they have unique solutions. And yes, that is how we discovered and fixed the older puzzles in Books 1 and 2.
Enjoy!
