User reviews

There is no dual portrait support

This is a deal breaker . While my iPad charges, the crossword app forces me to use it with the charger running towards me, instead of floating free at the top. This has meant I’ve had to change my charger very often as the neck of the cable is stressed.
I tried fixing the orientation on my iPad, to what works, but yours is the only app that does not comply.

I really use this app and hope you can update this aspect. Thank you very much
