Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
- Fixed an issue where leaving the app open in the background across a new puzzle day could prevent the latest puzzle date from appearing in the date picker. The app now refreshes puzzle availability when it returns to the foreground and offers to switch to the newly available puzzle.
- The app now makes the next daily puzzle available after midnight in the user’s own timezone, instead of using New York time.
