Perfect for those spare few minutes here and there, or even an hour straight. Keeps the mind sharp, and even educated. I find myself coming back and back to this awesome little app, even instead of social media now! Beats carrying books around! Spend a few bucks and unlock the whole pack - definite value for money! Looking forward to future upgrades and packs...

I bought this to work my brain. For that it is excellent. I would give 5 stars but in the sample it had insight into clues. I chose this pack over another because it had those insights. Upon purchase there were no insights or clue explanation. This was disappointing because I wanted to improve my understanding of how the clues were constructed. Apart from that they are pretty good - not to the standard of NYT but I cannot get any of those clues so I am happy.

Puzzles aren't too hard; just hard enough to be interesting. Solved some with my dad while he was too sick to hold a pen himself - thanks for that. Please keep adding more. I bought the "all puzzles" option (so it hasn't charged me extra for the most recent few), but if you keep adding packs and put in a "tip the developer" button, I'd use it.

Absolutely love this app! I’ve been a fan of cryptic crosswords for many years, and here in this app are some fine examples of the beauty of this mental game. They aren’t all easy; but implement a little mental effort and you will find them solvable. I couldn’t recommend this app more highly!
