Was Great, Latest Update Giving Me Issues
Edit: Since updating the app, my phone starts acting erratically when I do a crossword. Not every crossword, but a handful of times now (enough for me to finally trace it to this app), I’ll be working on a crossword and my phone will start behaving as though there are rapid taps and swipes on screen. Worse, it continues to do it for a while outside of the app.
I thought my phone was breaking, then I thought somehow my case was causing it (which led to me buying a new case). I finally realized it only happened while playing a crossword (and then afterward for a while), and doesn’t happen if I stay out of this app.
I’ve deleted the app. I’ll update this review if I continue having the problem even without this app (as there’s a possibility I’m pinning the blame on this app when it’s not the cause.)
Original review: Been using this app for a while now and mostly love it. The biggest longtime issue is it drains battery very fast, makes my phone pretty warm, and occasionally relaunches without having saved my progress on a crossword.TibiaTibia
Really Good, Room For Improvement
Been using this app for a while now and mostly love it. The biggest longtime issue is it drains battery very fast and occasionally relaunches without having saved my progress on a crossword.
Also the latest update broke swipe-to-move and the main menu settings for me (I am on iphone SE 2 and ios 17.5.1) The broken swipe-to-move is especially rough, as it’s annoying to play without.
Again, those issues aside, wonderful app, thanks for making!Great app but needs optimization…
This is probably one of the best crossword apps on the store. Unfortunately it has one fatal flaw - after a few minutes of use my phone noticeably heats up and my battery starts rapidly draining. This problem existed when I first tried this app some years ago, and it is disappointing to see that this issue still persists despite some apparent attempts (according to the patch notes) at fixing this. I badly want to give this app 5 stars, but since using it is not really practical right now I can’t. If this gets fixed I will amend my rating and review accordingly.Spyrooooooo
