Stopped working

I love this app, but I have been unable to download additional puzzles since Memorial Day 2018.

New Puzzles
ME THE BOOK WORM

I’ve had this app and enjoyed it for years. This is the second time I have not been able to receive new puzzles. This is been going on for weeks. I have sent in two different queries asking why this is happening and what I can do. No one ever writes back. Maybe they’ve gone out of business?

Newest update is flaky

App blows up intermittently and overall operation is glitchy. Hopefully a fix will come quickly. Overall, this is a good app.

Play with friends disappeared!!

My husband and I loved completing crossword puzzles together on this app using the "play with friend" game center feature, but this seems to have disappeared in the latest update. What happened??

Well done

Solid interface. Takes a little bit to get accustomed to, particularly skipping typed letters, but then works great. Love the multiple daily choices. Would like to see some sort of difficulty level. Outside of the Sunday paper, I won't use a pen and paper again.

No more multiplayer

They pulled the feature and are trying to blame apple for gamecenter changes. Bad!

My favorite crossword app
Time2golr

It's easy to use and you can customize it. I especially like that you can have incorrect letters highlighted! I'm lazy and hate having to get several wrong answers and have to redo. I'm not playing to be competitive I just like to be left alone to play. I haven't found any other Crosswords that move as easily.
