User reviews

Ads render it unusable

Scan worked well but was a bit fussy. The grid shown was initially displayed to not quite fit on the screen area that the app had dedicated for it.

Ads pop up to cover the screen WHILE YOU ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF TYPING. This renders an otherwise probably-good app unusable.

Exactly right

Simple solution. Well worth paying for the no adds version. Does exactly what it says on the tin. Only issue is sometimes, because of the size of text you cannot see clue numbers. But it’s easy to guess.
