User reviews

Unable to mute ads

Leaving aside the heavy static content on the app, now when I open the app there is an ad that auto plays that cannot be muted. As a result, the app is unusable without having to endure loud noise. Until they fix this glitch I will be viewing only the website with an ad blocker.

Greedy Nonsense

Doesn’t let you do crosswords without a subscription, why would I download the app if I can just play crosswords on the web browser for free

Games archive inconvient

You have to hit “load more” over and over and over again viewing one week at a time to get back to crosswords you haven’t done before. It’s irritating. I’m trying to go back to February and it takes so long. Please come up with a better system where you can select specific dates, maybe a month by month view or something like NYT

Doesn’t work 20% of the time

Recently when I’ve been using it, I get a message that shows “Please try later” and now news populates. Happens a few times a week. I just have to wait a few hours and try again. Restarting the app doesn’t help.

Not great

Beware— I got the yearly subscription and barely used it because the journalism is subpar and the content generated just isn’t great. If you do get the subscription, however, you’ll want to cancel your subscription immediately—otherwise they will auto-charge you a year from the date that you first started for another year. No updates or warnings that you were about to get charged.
