Ratings and Reviews
One of my favourite apps
Why has my crossword app reverted to the lite version after the last update? It's no longer loading new crosswords.
Great app - NYT style Xwords
This is an excellent App. I think the Aussies who don't like it have never tried the NYT crossword. Yes it's a bit US-centric, and the lack of word breaks is tricky for those used to Oz/Brit format clues - but then imagine a yank trying to do the SMH cryptic. Just enjoy the challenge and learn something new - and when you can't nut it out, use the friendly and generous hint function.
Really good
The interface is great. Little touches like shading multi-word answers in the grid, providing links to referenced clues, and highlighting crossing clues, are very well thought out and implemented.
I downloaded the app because my favourite cryptic crossword compiler (LR) has crosswords for sale here. I was happy with the price and they have been very entertaining.
Only reason my review is not 5-star is that it's not clear what I would get if I purchase the full version. It says "many newspapers", but which ones? I want to know at a glance exactly what all the in-app purchases offer: Cryptic, British quick, or American?
