Ratings and Reviews
Solid app for crossword lovers
I tested both Crosswords and 2 Across in their free versions before choosing this one and appreciated having that option from the developers. I liked the interface of Crosswords much better and found it easier to use. The problem with any crossword app is that there's a lot of information to deal with in a small amount of space, and I think the developer of Crosswords has struck a good balance between showing the clues and showing the puzzle itself. I really like the "Clues" view, which shows just a list of the clues and the letters you have filled in for each; sometimes seeing the clue and the letters in a different visual context is all I need to be able to figure it out. Crosswords makes it easy to download puzzles from many different sources.
Excellent, not perfect
Generally excellent. One very annoying problem: the mechanism used to enter more than one letter in a single square (used often in the NYT puzzles) is absolutely terrible. Please change this and it would be 5 stars.
Very good app.
Downloaded a couple of weeks ago and enjoying it immensely. Would like it made clearly which puzzles wont show incorrect letters. Most of them do but it would be helpful if they could be indicated. Thank you for much pleasure.
