Stupid. ### 1/5 — In-app purchase *2015-10-29, version 1.5.5* I paid to keep the ads out. They were gone that day. Today, I tried to use this app and the ads are back. Ridiculous! ### 1/5 — Very unhappy *2015-10-06* The upgrade on the 28th did not restore my games.

Sorry for the inconvenience! ### 1/5 — Bad Update *2015-09-28, version 1.5.3* With latest update(?), can not download the puzzles making the app useless! ## Frequently asked questions about Crossword Puzzles + ### What kind of puzzles does this app offer?
