Wish you would make a dark mode aesthetic

I wish there was a dark mode for this puzzle because I like to play it right before I go to sleep and it burns my eyes to see the white background. Also, agreed with others that it’s a bit repetitive at times. Wish there was more variety and/or levels to challenge you more. Other than that it’s entertaining and helps me fall asleep at night.

Buggy and slow

The most recent update removes the previous and next arrows to jump between clues. This makes navigating the puzzle very frustrating, especially when there doesn’t seem to be any logic behind what clue you end up on after completing one. Loading the puzzle archive takes forever, and it defaults to showing all puzzles instead of unplayed ones, so you have to select the option for only unplayed puzzles and then wait forever a second time. After I’ve completed a puzzle, if a start a second, more often than not I can’t type in the boxes. The keyboard acts like it’s working but no letters appear. I have to force close the app and restart it, then go though the slow multi-step process to get to a puzzle from the archive again. The puzzles themselves are pretty good but there can be a lot of word repetition from day to day. In difficulty, they’re roughly equal to a bit easier than an NYT Monday puzzle. It’s about right for me now, being a crossword newbie, but I feel like I might outgrow them in less than the timeframe of the one year subscription I purchased.

Worst Crossword App Imaginable

I love the USA Today crosswords, but this app is absolutely hideous to use. They need to study the New York Times crossword app and come up with something like that. You can use the app off-line and you don’t need to have an Internet connection to use it. With the USA app, anytime you leave the puzzle, you have to go back in and go through several menu selections to get back into the puzzle. That’s just the beginning of the hideous design. The moves from square to square within the app are ridiculous also. If you have a clue that has five boxes and you fill in the last two it should automatically go back up to the first empty box in the word. It doesn’t. When you’re finished with the puzzle and you want to find any errors, you have to toggle a switch. After you look at the errors, then you have to go back in and turn that toggle off or it will show errors on any future puzzles as you solve them if you make a mistake. If it wasn’t for the fact that I enjoy the puzzles, I wouldn’t use this app in a heartbeat.

A Good App Became So-So, Then Garbage

There was a time when this app was free for all to use instead of linking to the same puzzle on the web. Granted, this puzzle is always mediocre, whether in print or electronic format. Nothing v
close to great puzzles like the NYTimes. Still, it was enjoyable to use and tracked your scores, encouraging you to play. One could play any game within the current month and more. The interface was friendly and easy to use.

Sadly, the next generation reduced the number of games available to the current day, plus access to two previous days if those puzzles had been started. Moreover, the app added long, annoying advertising videos before the game each day… some far too long. Still free but very limited and less friendly. Puzzles remained mediocre.

The most recent revision restricts users to 3 free crosswords per week, still with annoying ads. There is nothing about these puzzles worth paying a subscription!! The editors seem to be working under the illusion that they have an outstanding product to sell, which is nonsense. These puzzles are just quick to complete without requiring any deep thinking. I certainly won’t be subscribing and hope no one else does either. The manager in charge should be relieved of his puzzle duties.

In summary… Don’t pay for a puzzle that is unchallenging and mediocre at best. If you are willing to pay for a puzzle, pay for a better one.

Developers don’t know what they’re doing?

What do you mean “performance improvements”? It’s very clear to me that, when I filter for unplayed puzzles, the app is loading page by page until it finds some. Every time. I’m playing puzzles from back in August and it takes literally over 30 seconds to load unplayed puzzles. Two suggestions. First, filter puzzles server-side. My phone should not be involved at all with the logic of displaying unplayed or incomplete puzzles. Second, just give me a “play next unplayed” button. There should be absolutely no reason for me to look at the archives, change to unplayed, then click the first item. It takes about a minute to find the next puzzle and about 5 for me to solve it. I swear some developers never use their own apps, or this would be painfully apparent from day one. I’ve canceled my subscription until they can make the app reasonably usable.

Fun but Repetitive and Trying to be too Woke?

Agree with those saying the progression arrows need work especially when maneuvering ‘down’ clues. The reason for my lower rating however is the repetition (e.g., most all crosswords have “ale(s)”, “ante”, etc.) and that I feel like the creators are trying to be too “woke”. I’m generally all in favor of trying to increase ones cultural awareness, or learning an additional language, but I look to crossword puzzels more for mental/memory stimulation and maybe some vocabulary enrichment and not to ask for words in languages I do not speak or obscure cultural facts that at best constitute as cultural trivia. All that said, I do enjoy the one a day puzzles which tend to be pretty quick, easy, and fun, while still a little bit challanging.

Sufficient but needs improvement

As of the last update, auto-moving to the next clue does not work properly; the cursor moves to the 2nd open box, not the first. This issue did not exist a couple of weeks ago. I am on a 3rd gen iPad Pro running IOS 16.1
Getting to unplayed archived puzzles is a waste of time. Users have to scroll down and wait for 20-some completed puzzles to load, and continue scroll and wait action until they get to an unplayed puzzle. Put a link to unplayed puzzles please.
Other than these two issues, it’s a good app.

Update Hugely Improved!

The update hugely improved things in my opinion! I logged in and can suddenly access all the puzzles in the archive it would seem, which is wonderful.

MANY years ago, possibly as long as 8 years ago, I had purchased the one-time fee for full access, so I’m not sure if it might have reinstated that somehow? But I’m not so sure. In any case, the update is appreciated! Thank you :)

Nice puzzles, clunky interface.

Puzzles are well constructed and are on the easy side. The interface is not as well done. For example, when trying to overwrite an entire word, instead of automatically advancing to the next letter to be replaced, the cursor jumps to the next word. The word and each subsequent letter must, therefore, be manually reselected.

Accessing the archive is painfully slow, especially for unplayed puzzles. It takes several minutes. That is when it works at all. Too often searching the archive for unplayed puzzles returns an “empty list”.

Not the best

Update: The same words keep being recycled OVER AND OVER to the point where it just isn’t enjoyable. I suggest avoiding the crosswords written by *Erik Agard*. His vocabulary is shockingly small.

I received a free 3-month subscription for this app. I’ve done two weeks of crosswords so far. The crosswords themselves are decent. They’re not too hard, but still challenging. My only complaint is that there’s *A LOT* of repeat words. Half a dozen words were reused within 3 or 4 days of crosswords. It seems very lazy and takes away from the fun.

The app itself is poorly made. It abuses the screen real estate with banners and titles and menus to the point where only ⅓ of my screen can show the actual crossword with the keyboard open. No fullscreen option is available. For smaller screens, it’s very frustrating.

Overall, it’s a fun app, but I would never pay for it.
