Very useful; needs an iPhone X update

Please update this app to better support the iPhone X screen size.

This is great for solving crosswords, and for solving the anagrams found in cryptic (British-style) crosswords. Many dictionary apps have a similar feature, but it’s usually not very good. This one is purpose-built for the task. It links to the Chambers Dictionary app if you have it. That’s the standard dictionary used by creators of cryptic crosswords, so it’s a handy feature.

I only wish it fully supported the iPhone X screen size. Currently it works, but it doesn’t fill the screen.
