At last! A new addiction!

I used to love double-crosstics in the NYT and magazines, and I've been very happy to find and enjoy this app over the past year. Being online and able to easily delete a whole clue answer permits a much more fun approach to the puzzle than doing them in ink on paper. I too was frustrated that I seemed to be stuck in limbo for several weeks, unable to complete the purchase of Books Ten and Eleven, but just now I tried buying the Headlines for the first time. There was a new AppStore purchase agreement I had to OK, and then suddenly the floodgates opened for my other failed purchases in this App.
Great puzzle app

I have always liked acrostics, and the automatic cross-filling in the Crostix app takes away the only negative of this sort of puzzle. The choice of quotations for the app is a real plus. I have enjoyed some of the quotes so much that I have been inspired to read the books they are taken from.
Great game

I love the way this game works. I also love that the additional libraries are reasonably priced. I hope it keeps going for a long time!
Good puzzles, works like it should

I love crostic puzzles, and this app has an intuitive interface. It's easy to enter letters into either the clues or the quote. The app sometimes crashes, and I wish there were a few more hard puzzles. But it's lots of fun and the quotes are interesting.
Racism!

I've had this app for some time, and I had loved it. However, I just got two puzzles in a row that were offensive--one used the word "Chinaman" and the second had a quotation on the topic of whether "Gypsies" could ever be honest. Extraordinarily offensive; I'm deleting this app immediately and encourage others to do likewise. I can, and will, get my word puzzle fun elsewhere.
My favorite kind of puzzles

I love acrostics and have a hard time finding paper books, so I play here. I enjoy the puzzles a lot and am on Book 10 - almost out of books to play. What then? The only thing I wish were different is that the initial letters of the clue answers don't spell out the name of author and source. So these are acrostics, not double-acrostics. But I love not having to erase all the wrong letters.
Crostics

I enjoy Crostics very much but do wish that there were more of the difficult categories. The short quotes and easy category just don't offer enough of a challenge.
Crostix is great

Love these!

These are great acrostic puzzles! There are a number of different themes and levels of difficulty. Wish they'd release some more puzzles soon!
