User reviews

Quality going down

I have used this app for several years, it was once excellent but has failed to keep up with the technology. The important fro Dropbox function has had problems for a year and their “fix” was to remove the feature. The basic import function only imports one file at a time and does not import files in .jpz format. The Browse the Web function takes you a screen for buying Newsday puzzles and you cannot bypass it.

Bug in Print option

Print option saves a blank page

Ok.....if you’re from the USA.

App works quite well (although does not indicate multi word answers) and is quite good at highlighting across and down clues as you move around. Content is the problem. The ones I’ve done so far are heavily, heavily USA centric and banallly so at that. Think quiz show hosts of the past, US breakfast cereals, restaurant chains. You’ll also need a thorough knowledge of US sports terminology and personalities. Clues sometimes also assume a USA basis (e.g. referring to congress rather than the US Congress). The narrow world view on display is somewhat nauseating at times as is the use of bastardised and US slang English.

Very pop culture oriented

You need to really into western media and pop culture to be great at this game. Stuff like pop stars and restaurants make up a lot of this game. Not really my cup of tea.

Repeats

Too many repeats to the puzzles.
