  • Really good app. Like many others have stated, some more challenging levels would improve the game for more experienced cryptic puzzlers, but still worth doing as it is. At least it doesn't leave you ripping your hair out for days while you try to answer a difficult clue! A scribble area on the screen somewhere to write letters for the anagram clues etc would be greatly appreciated - please consider it for the next upgrade.
  • Easier than most cryptics, good for those looking for some easy crosswords to ease themselves into more difficult puzzles. Interface is excellent.
  • Excellent, just what I wanted. Simple to use and the clues are just at the right level for me. The odd crash on startup but never when playing.
  • Excellent app. I'm still learning how to work out these types of puzzles , the letter clues are very helpful. I am getting better.
  • I was buying my daily rag just for the xword. No more. This is great. Nicely conceived. Difficulty level needs a tweak tho...
  • Good quick crosswords. A range of difficulties would be an advantage.i.e. A few more challenging puzzles as well.
  • Simple, but nor too simple, with about one crossword per 2 days being added through app updates
  • Really enjoyed the puzzles - just the right degree of difficulty to keep me entertained.
  • My cryptic crossword skills are so much better. It is great to have 60 puzzles now.
  • Upped my rating since crash fix. Now I'm back to waiting for more levels!
