Ruined by ads update

alpha628

Another great app that I’ve had a lot of fun playing in the past, that I now have to delete because it shoves ads in your face. I just want the app I used to have so much fun playing.

I miss the old format where the new letter appeared above the replaced letter. With this current format, the replacement letter joins the jumbled word making it more confusing and less like an actual pen and paper cryptogram. I’m not certain what was wrong with the original formatted puzzle? This format is more frustrating than fun. I can’t recommend your app in this format.

Now I get ads

I purchased this app several years ago but lost it when I updated my operating system and the developers did not keep up with the new operating systems. Now it is back, in a somewhat clunkier format, but it is full of ads! Where is the version I paid for?

Long time fan

I was happy when the app was finally updated for whichever ios update that was. However, I am unable to record and see my rank in the daily challenge. Very frustrating!! I've tried emailing multiple times and have gotten no response. Please fix this issue or I'm deleting the app. It's been months...

Crap

jamesblond

After waiting years -- YEARS -- for this simple but well designed game to offer an upgrade that would just add a round of new quotes to solve (you know like they did in newspapers for DECADES), the idiots at this company decide instead to completely redesign the game to make it much harder to read, harder to tell the colors apart (in both dark AND light modes) and....... drum roll.... added NO NEW PUZZLES. Here's a puzzle... who is this stupid?

Better!

Glad to have daily challenges back! I do miss the old text-over-text form versus the color-shift - I’m SLOW now.

It’s changed

How come you can’t “give up” on the daily puzzle and find out what it says?????

Daily time challenge

iCheat

I love the app, but the daily time challenge is too easy to cheat at. Just start it, solve almost to completion - but before entering the last letter, exit the app and start again. It then becomes a "how fast can you type" challenge instead of how fast to solve. Those with 2 devices and copies of the app will always be able to "cheat" (they probably cheat at solitaire too). I'd say once you start a daily challenge, you either finish it or lose your chance to submit an "official" score that day. Another improvement would be to show a distribution of # users by solution time to see what percentile your solution time falls in if you did not make the top ten.

Politically slanted

The daily challenge always had a political message in it and I found it to be disturbing and finally deleted the app.
