Marvellous

Cracking app that serves a multitude of uses
Excalibur the oneExcalibur the one

Good app shamefully ruined.

I used this app for years and accepted the banner adverts as the price for it being free. A new release just installed, (Jan2024), effectively makes it unusable with enforced “timeouts” having to watch full screen adverts unless you subscribe. Oh well, plenty more fish in the crossword solvers sea. Good bye and good riddance.
