Great content but the app is eh – NYT Games: Word Games & Sudoku Review

I love doing the crossword but am a bit disappointed at how under-featured the app is. It hasn’t materially updated any new features in years despite the potential for adding fun, deeper stats or more usable/useful navigation (i.e. there are a ton of different links to get to the archive, but there’s no way to access a list of your unfinished crosswords, so I’m pegged at 99.9% since I can’t find the one I’ve supposedly left unfinished!) The recent list doesn’t go any further back than ~a dozen, and the archive itself is slow and choppy to load. There’s no way to see your progress over time or view any stats older than a week by any period except each individual puzzle. You can’t identify puzzles as favorites, search for puzzles by creator, etc. None of this is a huge issue; it’s just that there’s much more potential in this app than the NYT seems to have interest in developing.
