A warm hug

I remember years ago helping a friend with this programme and I am so happy to have found it. As soon as the familiar music starts then a warm hug and comfy slippers came to mind. A million thank you’s for bringing back memories. Very addictive xxx

Great fun and it’s actually free

Hard to find a great crossword puzzle that doesn’t require payment to remove ads, or just runs ads after every puzzle or bonus. If you’re a cruciverbalist you have to get this app, over 10,000 puzzles and few ads… is this heaven?

Stopped working

This app stopped working a week or two ago. It won’t load
No more sporcle :(No more sporcle :(

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
