What happened?

Marcia in Downey on

United States

I’ve been enjoying g this app for several weeks. Then, I noticed clues did not match puzzles, answer spaces were cut off on the right and bottom edges, Hints function stopped working. I deleted the app and reinstalled, but it still does not work the way it did last week.

Upgrade doesn’t work

Original Z on

United States

It claims if you bought pro on the old version it will give you a discount to buy pro on this one, but it won’t! It does load the old version quickly before going to the purchase screen so it should find my purchase history, but it never activates! Awful!

Going Downhill for voiceover users :(

n8lag on

United States

This is the only crossword app I have found accessible to blind folks with screen readers, but it has developed some problems, and sai does not return my emails. Also The best puzzle (quigley) seems to be gone now. I have never seen ny times puzzrs in this app. Pleeeeez bring back Quigley!!!!

I like this

agedefying on

United States

Responsive, fresh, and notebook/iPad oriented for once. Clues are better than easy. Two suggestions: implement the arrow keys on the magic keyboard. Add auto sizing: on the iPad Air you have to scroll a bit to get around.

No additional puzzles

afjdsaooewau on

United States

App comes with a few starter puzzles and offers other bundles for sale. I tried to buy two of these, they took my money, never provided any additional puzzles. So, for two bucks it’s not worth my time to pursue. But save your own time and money and don’t deal with these crooks.

Can’t use numbers on keyboard

Dudethatdoesnt on

United States

Please fix this bug

Buggy App, Unresponsive Publisher

312view on

United States

I’ve used this for years and put up with lots of little bugs because the volume and assortment of puzzles was good. Lately I’ve found that more than half the time, none of the difficult or hard puzzles show up on the list…then will randomly reappear. I’ve contacted the publisher and gotten no response. Looking at the many negative reviews here to which there are also no responses, I guess I shouldn’t hold my breath.

From 5 stars to 2

ballrmgrl on

United States

I was loving these puzzles until I suddenly had no access unless I paid. They shouldn’t say it’s free if it requires purchases later.

Purchased bundle doesn’t download

fitz127 on

United States

Purchase a puzzle bundle and it thinks it downloaded, screen is blank, no puzzles. Tried to download a different sample problem. It asked to start now, I answered yes. I got a blank screen with a running clock in the bottom right. This app is definitely not recommended.

Screens Not Reformatted + Other Issues

i just wanr to leave a review on

United States

Screens seem to not be updated for iPhone 14. Will re-review if/when fixed. (Just rebought because I switched from Android to iPhone.) Settings don’t work correctly. Stuck with this app because I love AVCX and it’s the only one that supports them. The settings one sets don’t actually get applied when solving a puzzle. It’s… just a mess.
