Excellent app
- 5.0
- lwio 2015/06/18
I've been using this app for a couple of years now and it's been well worth the price. The range of puzzles available is very large and the app functions very well with only a few minor bugs. Having said that the app is updated regularly. If you like crosswords give it a try.
Brilliant

Love this app. So easy to use, lots of crosswords and you can download limitless previous ones from various newspapers eg the independent. Brilliant.
Need more Providers
- 4.0
- Nitro Noddy 2015/06/18
I bought this a fair while ago as it is the best Crossword App for iPhone and at that time there were usually 8-10 puzzles each day to download. A good mix of Cryptic and normal puzzles. The app has lots of options even a hint button that can help if you get stuck etc. Sadly now we only get 4-5 a day as some of the puzzle providers have gone to a paid option on their own site. Only a 4 * review as its Still the best Crossword puzzle app but we need more providers please....
Problem with bluetooth keyboards
- 4.0
- lswaidani 2015/06/18
There is a really old bug when multitasking and switching apps causes bluetooth keyboards to stop working with this app. The current workaround is to leave the current puzzle and re-select it from the menu but you have to repeat this every time you switch app or restart crosswords. It would also be nice if the on-screen keyboard disappeared for people with peripheral keyboards too as is common in other apps :) Other than this one of my favourite apps!
Good but not enough UK crosswords.

- ianthemac 2015/06/18
The issues caused by a recent update were quickly addressed which was good. Now it works which is good :-) The range of crosswords on offer is rather dissapointing given that the app itself is very good. Could be much better if you could get content from the Guardian.
Great app - recommended

- themilkman 2015/06/18
This app is one of the ones I use the most. It works very smoothly and is a pleasure to use. It could do with a few more free regular UK puzzles but apart for that, it is a brilliant app.
Very good

- PuzzleFreak78 2015/06/18
Very happy with it - good interface and I can access my Daily Telegraph subscription. Could have an improved anagram helper / tool
Good app, but limited UK choice
- 4.0
- JRSARB 2015/06/18
East to use, good app, but in the UK you basically have just the Independent Concise and Cryptic, plus the MEN quick. Would be nice to have some General Knowledge puzzles too
Really just excellent

I don't want to write a sycophantic review so let me simply say this: I use this app ever day, and I have absolutely nothing to complain about. I'd change nothing about it. Thank you!
A great app
