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.

Great app
I love the Crossword Light app, and I use it every day.
Stay Away!
This app used to be great, until they stopped supporting it. Go back in time two years and it gets five stars. Today all you can get is weird British puzzles (no offense to my London friends). This is no longer what I paid for. Searching for a new crossword app.
Stopped working
It stopped working some time ago on my 4th. Generation iPad. I recently upgraded to an iPad Pro so thought I’d give it another try. Didn’t work on initial startup so I deleted it and downloaded it again. Still doesn’t work. Just repeatedly gives me a message about having trouble restoring purchases.

Unauthorised purchases
This app charged me for "Free Samples".
Not paying twice!
Like others, my subscription is no longer being honored after this update. Once I finish the puzzles I have, I'll be looking for a new crossword app.
One of my favourite apps
Why has my crossword app reverted to the lite version after the last update? It's no longer loading new crosswords.
No customer service or satisfaction
I paid $9.99 for a subscription on 6/10/16 - like others here, the latest update requires another purchase that's not going to happen. Emailed customer service and apparently fell into a black hole- no return communication at all. STAY AEAY FROM THIS PRODUCT!
Paid once...not twice
How disappointing...I bought this app for the daily puzzles. Stopped working and now I am expected to pay again. I'll buy another app before I spend my money on the same companies app!
My favorite crossword puzzle game
I've become addicted to it.
Good Interface
I really enjoy this app for its interface on the crossword level. The controls are really intuitive. The subscribe issue is a little annoying, but hopefully it will be fixed soon. My son loves this app interface, but wishes that it was available in an Android format, because the interface is so natural.

Add me to the list...
... of disgruntled customers who had already paid up once for full access, and not only lost ongoing access to new versions, but also access to previously downloaded puzzles in this 'upgrade'.
If intentional, unforgivable!!! Why should I purchase again? Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, ....
Update: issue NOT FIXED for me. I paid to upgrade, deleted the paid version when it stopped working in order to reinstall it, could not reinstall the paid version and have to pay to upgrade the lite version.

Horrible!
The latest update is a POS! The app will no longer load any new puzzles. Customer service, of course, blamed it on Apple. They told me to delete the app and reload. Now, I have no puzzles at all. It looks like the only way to download new puzzles is to subscribe. If that is the new business model, then just say so up front, do not lie to us. I was a subscriber for YEARS, but no longer. Boo!!!!!

Issue fixed
It is a nice app to work with and use if you enjoy crosswords.
Update Issue
Even this newest update no longer recognizes my previous purchase of $9.99 for the daily puzzles. This was a great app, worthy of 5 stars, but these updates have nullified that rating. I've emailed support but no word as of yet.
