Crossword Puzzles!

This is the absolute BEST APP that I have! Period! It’s so easy to use, has many different/difficult Sunday crosswords to choose from ~ not just the NY or LA paper’s puzzles, and it’s worth buying the ad-free option if you weren’t lucky enough to have found this on App-Advice w/ads removed free... FYI ~ App-Advice is my second choice, just for everything it introduces me to and the free extras, if you care about that sort of stuff. 😉 Thanks for all the hours (and years) of brain-teasers from a dedicated fan ~ master-work, kudos!

I love that this crossword app works in landscape mode on my iPad, as most are only portrait. So I was disappointed to discover there is no way to get rid of the ads constantly FLASHING at the bottom of the screen the WHOLE TIME I’m playing. It’s distracting and definitely not relaxing, which is the reason I downloaded the app... to relax. I’ve looked everywhere for the option to pay and go ad free... I can’t find it. As if this isn’t bad enough... I put down my iPad for 5 minutes, came back, opened the app and was assaulted by a full screen ad with no option to close it, which stayed on the screen for so long I gave up and deleted the app. Come on developers... I actually want to give you my money here I don’t just want a freebie! I’ll pay a reasonable amount either one-time or subscription for the right app. I’ve searched and... there isn’t one! There’s a gap in the iPad crossword puzzle app market, for a landscape app with no ads... why don’t you fill it.

I like these puzzles except for three things. 1. The background many times interferes with the puzzle blocks, and 2. When I choose a letter a lot of times I have to tap it hard 2 or 3 times before it goes in, and 3. Many times the letter I tap is not what shows up in the box, especially if I'm trying to backspace to erase. It will type a letter instead. This seems to happen mainly on the right top side of the puzzle. That is VERY annoying and time-wasting not to mention I have to go back and correct it. I don't think we should have to watch closely to be sure what we picked is what happened!

This is just the right level of difficulty for me. I often have to look up words while solving and am learning new words from each puzzle, which I love. The only reason I'm giving 4 rather than 5 stars is that the navigation is frustrating - it often does not respond to taps, and it would be nicer to have the 'next' button at the bottom so you don't obscure the puzzle each time you click it. Also it would be nicer if 'next' skipped finished words. But overall, the best crossword app I've found so far, and I've tried a bunch.

I have enjoyed this app. It’s hard enough to be challenging but still has lots of easy clues. However, very recently there are those horrible distracting ads that move back and forth to get your attention. I tried today to do the daily crossword but just had to stop because the ads were making me crazy. If you x one out a new one appears a few seconds later. Please Zelnut, don’t ruin your good app like this. Stationary ads are fine. You’ve got to make money somehow. But I won’t use it as long as the ads are moving and flashing. Too bad.
