Ratings and Reviews
Wish I could favourite / bookmark the best grids
Generally excellent crosswords and some great other games too. Just wish I could star, favourite, or save my favourite crosswords so I could revisit them or keep track of my favourite cruciverbalists. Or search by constructor! Being able to go back through archives is a wonderful option too. Closing in on 1000 crosswords between me and the spouse now. :D
Latest version needs fixes
I love this app, but this last version with the UI modernisation needs some tweaks. The archive of previous mini leaderboards is a great touch, but it should not remain stuck on previous dates. Each day I complete the mini, the leaderboard should jump to that day. It’s very tedious to open it, discover you last checked it four days ago, and have to tab across to the current date. Let me go back, sure, but I assure you every person clicking on that tab first wants to see today’s data, not old stuff.
Second, please revert the swipe behaviour in archive to change between months in your active category, not change between the standard and mini sizes. It’s much easier to swipe backward and forward than hit the tiny arrow target.
Was 5/5 as a crossword app, issues with other games bring it down
It feels that the implementation of the other games to make it “NYT Games” was rushed or something, especially the Sudoku.
Biggest grievance is that the “tada” for completion is apparently a song and takes over Now Playing (so this makes it a right pain for audio over Bluetooth acting seemlessly restarting what you were listening to in other apps).
But, the lack of undo and proximity of auto fill to the numbers buttons (making mistaken taps too easy) is also problematic and frustrating for puzzle solving.
