  • Quality going down

    I have used this app for several years, it was once excellent but has failed to keep up with the technology. The important fro Dropbox function has had problems for a year and their “fix” was to remove the feature. The basic import function only imports one file at a time and does not import files in .jpz format. The Browse the Web function takes you a screen for buying Newsday puzzles and you cannot bypass it.

  • Repeats

    Too many repeats to the puzzles.
  • Great app

    I love the Crossword Light app, and I use it every day.

    We've got a new version coming out shortly that should address this issue. Sorry for the trouble!
  • Stay Away!

    This app used to be great, until they stopped supporting it. Go back in time two years and it gets five stars. Today all you can get is weird British puzzles (no offense to my London friends). This is no longer what I paid for. Searching for a new crossword app.

    There are still several daily and weekly US providers available in the app. We respect and accommodate all puzzle creators, and while some are willing to work with us, others have requested that we not offer their content. Sorry for the confusion!
  • Stopped working

    It stopped working some time ago on my 4th. Generation iPad. I recently upgraded to an iPad Pro so thought I’d give it another try. Didn’t work on initial startup so I deleted it and downloaded it again. Still doesn’t work. Just repeatedly gives me a message about having trouble restoring purchases.

    Can you please reach out to our support team (sales@standalone.com) and we can try to help you. We've got it working on all iPads from second generation on up, so we should be able to get you up and running. Thanks!
  • Not paying twice!

    Like others, my subscription is no longer being honored after this update. Once I finish the puzzles I have, I'll be looking for a new crossword app.

    You may need to "Check for Purchases" in the "Get More Puzzles" screen. We've got an update coming out shortly that will make this a little easier. Thanks!
  • Paid once...not twice

    How disappointing...I bought this app for the daily puzzles. Stopped working and now I am expected to pay again. I'll buy another app before I spend my money on the same companies app!

    Developer Response

    We definitely don't want you to pay again it; it sounds like your upgrade status got lost during an update. You can tap "+", then "Get More Puzzles", and finally "Check for Purchases" to restore your purchase. We're getting ready to release an update that will make this a bit easier. Thanks!
  • Horrible!

    The latest update is a POS! The app will no longer load any new puzzles. Customer service, of course, blamed it on Apple. They told me to delete the app and reload. Now, I have no puzzles at all. It looks like the only way to download new puzzles is to subscribe. If that is the new business model, then just say so up front, do not lie to us. I was a subscriber for YEARS, but no longer. Boo!!!!!

    If you've already purchased the app, you can "Check for Purchases" from the "Get More Puzzles" screen to get back to downloading new puzzles. We've got an update coming out shortly that should make this a little simpler. Thanks!
  • Issue fixed

    It is a nice app to work with and use if you enjoy crosswords.
  • Works with iPad Smart Keyboard

    I am a novice crossword user and I must have downloaded a dozen or so apps searching for one that was compatible with the iPad Smart Keyboard. Wish I had tried Crossword light sooner. Most of the crossword apps will not work in Landscape mode let alone with a keyboard. I am not sure why this is as I just assumed all of them would be compatible. I am still discovering keyboard shortcuts but the need to use the touch screen is minimal.
