Was good until new update
I used to love this app. The new font is a mess. Its hard to see. Why not just leave things alone? So tired of the changes. Please put it back.
***updated response after the developer answered. Telling me to use light or dark mode does not make the font easier to read. The only way I would change this review is if they had a way to change fonts. Changing modes does not fix the issue. The text is too thin. Why not use bold font?? Also, changing the arrangement of back space and the other buttons was infuriating. I have played this app for years and this was a truly questionable decision that didn't need to happen.

Love this but
Wish the maker would put out a version that will run vertically or horizontally on my iPad. If that happens, I'll buy it.
Great App
Update: Love the new landscape mode. Good job! This is a great crossword puzzle app. The only thing that would make it better is if it would display in landscape mode on iPads and phones.
Fantastic upgrade
This is the best crossword app. By far. The latest upgrade to v4.8 has made it even better than it was before. I’m still getting used to the new navigation keys, but I’m getting there. I love the new landscape view. It’s a lot more like doing a traditional crossword in the newspaper.
Update on Puzzles can't load
Updated to the latest version and the app is running appropriately.
Unwanted layout change
The look and feel of the game changed with the new wide layout…clues on the left, puzzle to the right.
Boo
UPDATE: You sent mail, yesterday, saying my comment (below) referred to an outdated version of the game. How could that be? I’ve never stopped the game from installing an update.

ORIGINAL COMMENT:
Your recent update broke a valuable feature: the “<“ symbol in the upper left corner no longer locks the cut game state. That’s a huge loss of functionality and makes no sense whatsoever.
Please restore that behavior, or at least make it a user-controllable switch in Settings.
Prior to that change, this was my go-to entertainment.

Restore the keyboard, please.
Love the puzzles, Why "fix" something that did not need to be "fixed". Very much dislike the new keyboard arrangement. (nice way of saying I hate it!)
Advertising
Ads come on and will not close unless you attempt to purchase the product advertised...cannot open a puzzle unless you pay a large fee...developer suggested I update my app & now works better...adjusting my rating from 1 to 4 stars

Great Crossword Puzzles
The ads are very tolerable.
In upgrading my previous review to 5
I previously gave this Puzzle game a lower rating because the I felt the puzzles were too easy, even using the Very Hard filter. Well, that's changed. The developer has now gotten a LOT more puzzles, and they now have some real brain benders. I'm klcking my wounds and willing to admit it. Good work.

Guys! The ads!
I don’t want to pay the nearly-$50 to go ad free, so I understand that you’re going to sell space to advertisers. Fine. So, maybe you don’t feel comfortable telling advertisers what they can run or how long their ads can be; but when Royal Whatever starts a 60 or even 90 second spot, it isn’t their app I close - it’s yours. If you’re okay with that, then keep doing what you’re doing.

Decent
Decent puzzles, not enough variety in writers. Same 10 people, some of whom aren't very interesting. They use the same words repetitively.
Edited: if you use the search function there is a much wider variety of authors besides the ones that seem to always refresh. Big database of puzzles for sure.

10/10 would recommend
I can’t say enough for this app. The puzzles are virtually endless, new ones being added by different editors all the time. Difficulty levels ranging from easy to hard, even mini games are available. Gameplay can be adjusted with settings to make it easier or harder. If you’re a crossword puzzle lover, this app is definitely worth it!

Yay!
Great game! But I do wish there were less ads.
Awful
Used to be great. Now it's riddled with ads
Good times
Best free crossword game available for iPad. Thanks!
Thanks
Fun, challenging but not stupid hard!
Outstandingly good!
Usually work on paper books for crossword puzzles, looked around and found this app! The best so far!
