App needs work.

UPDATE: I haven’t played this app in a few months and I noticed that they’re still not a way to skip completed letters or words. I did send an email to the app owners to see if this is possibly going to be fixed in the future. I’m sure you’re with me in that it’s very cumbersome to have to go over words and letters already completed.

ORIGINAL POST: I like this app, but it lacks many of the basic features that other crossword apps have. It doesn’t skip completed letters or words making it hard to complete the puzzles without creating errors on words or clues you have already completed. I don’t play as often due to this. In fact, the app was inactive and when I played it again, I knew why I rarely played it. Please fix these problems. Your app will improve greatly.

Be prepared to pay up

Using the free app with all of the advertisements is aggravating. After completing the puzzle, there’s no indication you’re complete. And if you have an error, you have to pay to have the error identified. So you think you’ve solved the puzzle and you’re left hanging. Not a good experience.

Well designed
