I've been using this app for many years. It does function very well. It uses tickets to get a puzzle you have missed, or for clues, like reveal a square or check puzzle. You can once again get free tickets by watching EXTRA advertisements. 👏🏻I would find helpful if 4 arrow directional movement keys were added to the app keyboard to move the puzzle cursor position. This is because from time to time I use the app while riding in a vehicle and it can be difficult to select the cursor position by touching the puzzle. Note that after typing a letter on the keyboard, if you then touch certain blank areas adjacent to the keyboard, the prior letter will repeat.

I love that this crossword app works in landscape mode on my iPad, as most are only portrait. So I was disappointed to discover there is no way to get rid of the ads constantly FLASHING at the bottom of the screen the WHOLE TIME I’m playing. It’s distracting and definitely not relaxing, which is the reason I downloaded the app... to relax. I’ve looked everywhere for the option to pay and go ad free... I can’t find it. As if this isn’t bad enough... I put down my iPad for 5 minutes, came back, opened the app and was assaulted by a full screen ad with no option to close it, which stayed on the screen for so long I gave up and deleted the app. Come on developers... I actually want to give you my money here I don’t just want a freebie! I’ll pay a reasonable amount either one-time or subscription for the right app. I’ve searched and... there isn’t one! There’s a gap in the iPad crossword puzzle app market, for a landscape app with no ads... why don’t you fill it.
I like the puzzle but it's frustrating!

I like these puzzles except for three things. 1. The background many times interferes with the puzzle blocks, and 2. When I choose a letter a lot of times I have to tap it hard 2 or 3 times before it goes in, and 3. Many times the letter I tap is not what shows up in the box, especially if I'm trying to backspace to erase. It will type a letter instead. This seems to happen mainly on the right top side of the puzzle. That is VERY annoying and time-wasting not to mention I have to go back and correct it. I don't think we should have to watch closely to be sure what we picked is what happened!
A Process of Initiation

Each morning with rare exception, I enjoy that day’s crossword. Depending on difficulty and brain function, each puzzle accompanies a cup of joe as I solve it within a reasonable amount of time. My routine typically allows me at least fifteen minutes of free time, which is roughly equivalent to how long it takes before I observe the bottom of my coffee cup. I would be remiss if I neglected to comment on the therapeutic value of discovering each day’s solution. The puzzling process serves to awaken my mental acuity, which is important to the casework I endeavor to handle. Metaphorically, using a steel to sharpen a blade would be a comparative experience. Thank you.
