Conflicted
I love hard crosswords. This is the only app I could find with a pretty good selection. However, it often has problems. For example I could not download puzzles for about two weeks because one of their servers was down. Only found this out by googling the name of the server. Wish this app would work better and have more selection however of course I’m sure they have all the puzzles they are permitted to have. So I use this app all time and love it but hate that it often fails.

Great to keep the brain stimulated
I like that you can custom your solution strategies. I was having difficulty downloading puzzles about a week ago, but all seems fixed now%
iOS 14.4 seems to have broken it
Love this app but I installed iOS 14.4 yesterday (Sunday) and tried a wsj Monday puzzle, your app keeps crashing. Just an FYI. I really missed this app while I couldn’t get it to work. Out of desperation I deleted it and reinstalled and viola! It’s working again.
Update july 20, 2022: seems there is another glitch. When trying to load puzzles from fleeting image site, the download stalls. At least the app doesn’t crash.

Good app
well laid out. Enjoy playing.
Easy to use
I spend my time thinking words not how to use the app. The new toned down brightness is much appreciated. Great app.
Love across life
Haven't played in a while. Love it!! I am a little rusty. But it is coming back. I especially love that I can add my own puzzles. Best crossword puzzle out there!!!!
only 12 puzzles
Even after purchasing, there are only the 12 sample puzzles. If you want more, you have to download them from independent sites, not something I want to do not knowing anything about the sites or what kind of dangerous files I might be downloading. No way to request a refund. The”contact Us” section does not work nor does the “report a problem” section. I’m deleting this app. Waste of money.

Almost Perfect…
A solid five in its category Great from a content and variety perspective The new user experience can be distracting at first but very intuitive after the first few minutes It still doesn't quite measure up to the newspaper experience of doing a hard crossword in ink and having to wait a day for the answers... But it comes very close!

Cannot open App - Apple Issue
For those of you having this issue, it is not the developers fault. Apple has a habit of updating OS to the point where older platforms won't be able to work the same way when an app is modified. I have an older IPad & this is the second app I've had issues with. It's Apple's way to move you to purchase new h/w. Would not open. Removed and tried to download again, still will not open. I see that you are recommending going back to the previous version, but can't do that. Help please.

Very Enjoyable!
I’d been using a competing puzzle site which has books of crosswords for sale but nothing new had been added for several years. I had Across Lite on my iPad and recently tried it again, after paying a minor fee for an upgrade. It took me a while to get used to it, but I really like the fact that you can totally customize the site to fit how you like to play. I also like that you can download various new crosswords at any time. It’s made me a crossword fan again!
