Mixed feelings

Prior to the latest update if I closed the app after use then the next time I opened it the search field would be clear. Now, even if I clear the search field before closing the app, it reverts to the previous search when next opened.
I find this rather odd.
Otherwise a very useful resource.

Update. Thank you Mark Bailey for your response. Having adjusted my settings I am now much happier with this app.
If it were possible I would now give it the fifth star.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback, an oft requested feature was for the app to remember prior searches and filters. You can disable these new features in the Settings, turn the search history off to stop the last search being entered when you reopen the app. You can also automatically clear the filters.

Poor

Used to be much better. So many ‘words’ now are not found in the dictionary and simply combinations of letters - pointless

Best anagram & xword helper

The recent updates have enabled the filters to remain intact when changing letter patterns. This is a really helpful functional improvement. Every known global spelling variations seem to be present too.
The best just got better - 42/42

Thanks for the update and being a long time user. Glad you like the new filter improvements too.

Great app

This has been my go to app for my word games when I’m stumped. It never seems to fail me. The developer is very responsive to questions and suggestions. I emailed him one day about a concern and the following day there was a new update to address it. Can’t beat that.

Response from developer

Thanks for the great comment FB and dropping me an email to explain your concerns. As a sole developer it's hard to gauge how new features and changes will be met, so hearing from long time users as yourself is invaluable. Much appreciated.

New iteration not as effective

I could previously breeze through most crosswords using this app. Now the search for Word using the dot to substitute letter does not seem to work as effectively. However, I do appreciate certain updates like the ability to view history.

Marc has now explained to me how the app works just dots. I do believe this app to be the best Crossword aid on the market and I have reevaluated it to a five star rating.

Response from developer

Thanks for the constructive feedback and highlighting this issue. For other users reading this, please go to settings and turn off the Allow Dictation setting, this is causing ... to be converted into an ellipsis which the app ignores. A new update will be coming shortly that addresses this issue.
