Awesome crossword app.

Awesome crossword app. :)


has potential
bug deal

I like the price, and the potentially infinite set of puzzles. I'm reluctant to actually use it, though, largely because of the keyboard. instead of using the built-in keyboard, for some reason, they tried to make their own. it's laid out the same as the built-in keyboard, but it's strikingly ugly, much less responsive, and worst of all, has its own key click sound effect I can't find an option to turn off. Most of the times I might want to play crosswords on my phone I don't want it emitting a constant irritating clicking noise.


Adequate
Cluttered Cabinet

It worked for me. I'm a causal crossword puzzler and I couldn't justify the cost of the more popular x-word apps. The lite versions of those don't give many puzzles either. So I opted for this app. Going to the app maker's web site helped in figuring out how to put in the info for retrieving other puzzles. I managed to retrieved several weekly and some daily puzzles from different sources. I do wish that filling in the fields for source info was more intuitive or at least had some instructions for completing the fields.


Easy navigation, good clues

Other (fee) x-word app I downloaded was hard to get around in & had idiotic clues & answers. This was free & much better. Nice job.
