Response from developer

Hi Grouch72, thank you for rating our app, we're sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy our Crossword Puzzle. In our testing we found that zooming out enough to see the whole puzzle made it impossible to read any of the text for the vast majority of our users. Now that there are much larger screens on the market, we're revisiting this decision and will be making some changes in the next updates to improve this. Thank you for your feedback, we hope that our updates might prompt you to reconsider your rating.

Why can I not restore purchases? So I can use the app on both iPad and iPhone?? I don’t really want to have to pay twice for the same thing!
