Nice puzzle but needs more

This is a nice crossword puzzle game but the words are repetitive. I have reached a level where the words are the same every 3rd puzzle or so. Same clues and answers. Please get something new…Soon

Way too easy

I was hoping the puzzles would get more challenging, but it’s not happening…. Zzzzz

Just relaxing

Stopped working after a flight

I tried using it in airplane mode and it got stuck on the initial loading screen. Then once I landed it still never got past the loading screen. I thought Apple tested and enforced NSNetwork etc error handling in app submissions. My other complaint is it uses an audio session that prevents me from listening to music or podcasts. I’d rather turn off the public domain bleeps and blips and listen to Carpenter Brut while I do crosswords.

Fake pay to play

Why do you now have to pay to see the wrong letters? And why does it cost more than you win for completing a puzzle?
