Response from developer
Thank you for using the app and for taking the time to provide your feedback! So happy to hear you're enjoying the Apple Pencil feature—it's something we're really proud of. Offering free daily puzzles lets users to try the app before committing to a subscription (if they wish). The subscription model is what funds the development of the app, the creation of new puzzles, and the ongoing maintenance & support. While I understand that subscription may not be for everyone, it allows us to deliver a high-quality crossword experience. I also appreciate your feedback about the puzzle difficulty and the occasional US-centric clues. We aim to keep our puzzles accessible to all solvers, while also providing enough challenge to stay engaging. We'll work with our constructors to keep improving on that front. Appreciate your honest feedback, it helps us refine the app and make it better for all users!
