Crossword Light Hack 2.87 + Redeem Codes

It is a nice app to work with and use if you enjoy crosswords.

The latest update is a POS! The app will no longer load any new puzzles. Customer service, of course, blamed it on Apple. They told me to delete the app and reload. Now, I have no puzzles at all. It looks like the only way to download new puzzles is to subscribe. If that is the new business model, then just say so up front, do not lie to us. I was a subscriber for YEARS, but no longer. Boo!!!!!

It stopped working some time ago on my 4th. Generation iPad. I recently upgraded to an iPad Pro so thought I’d give it another try. Didn’t work on initial startup so I deleted it and downloaded it again. Still doesn’t work. Just repeatedly gives me a message about having trouble restoring purchases.

This app used to be great, until they stopped supporting it. Go back in time two years and it gets five stars. Today all you can get is weird British puzzles (no offense to my London friends). This is no longer what I paid for. Searching for a new crossword app.

How disappointing...I bought this app for the daily puzzles. Stopped working and now I am expected to pay again. I'll buy another app before I spend my money on the same companies app!

Like others, my subscription is no longer being honored after this update. Once I finish the puzzles I have, I'll be looking for a new crossword app.

I love the Crossword Light app, and I use it every day.

Imagine this as a limited-time free app: you can play it through its thirty puzzles, and then it kind of becomes useless, unless you enjoy re-doing the same crossword puzzle. It is intended as a way to whet your appetite and get you to buy the paid app. Fair enough, no problem there--just be aware of the limitations.

The puzzles are definitely not NYT difficulty, but for me that works fine--at my level (relative novice), the puzzles are hard enough to challenge me, but not so easy as to make it worthless (YMMV). The design is OK, but there are a few small glitches or flaws. When you rotate, the animation freezes for a moment in mid-rotate (at least on my machine); not a biggie, but it does get annoying, as you have to rotate it a lot. In portrait mode, you can get hints, info, and clues, but I don't see an easy way to switch from horizontal to vertical. In landscape mode, you can switch between horizontal and vertical, but you can't get info, clues, or hints. So if you want any combinations, you gotta rotate fairly often.

Other than that, it's great. The keyboard is easy to use, and the puzzle squares surprisingly easy to select. There are a few more features I'd probably want to ask for if I bought the main version, but nothing that would stop me from buying the app, really. I'm just not *that* big a crossword fan.

Too many repeats to the puzzles.

This crossword has the advantage of having a small-ish keyboard, leaving more room for the puzzle itself. It also has a nice way of shifting from 'down' to 'across' and vice versa by tapping on the clue. But it has some disadvantages that rule it out for me. I found it difficult to get intermediate grid sizes; the usual Mac way of enlarging and reducing by finger-spreading sometimes works smoothly and sometimes seems to have a long lag time. The total range of sizes is somewhat narrow. For example, I couldn't make the puzzle small enough to see the whole thing at once. Perhaps the feature that annoyed me the most is that if I started filling in a word in the middle of the word and then put a letter of the final square, the app immediately jumped to the next clue, even though I hadn't filled in the beginning of the clue yet. Ideally, it would go to the beginning of the word to let me fill in the remaining letters. The app also seems rather jittery; the grid has a tendency to move around a lot. I didn't find the navigation arrows helpful but some might. I also didn't find the magnifying glass helpful but, again, some might. I couldn't see a way to make the keyboard go away entirely. Maybe it's there and I just couldn't find it. Nor could I see a way to change the size of the clue font itself.
