Small clue box

Thanks Rohan for fixing my reported bug so quickly! This app is my favorite for doing crosswords. UI is a bit crowded on iPhone, near the clue area, I hope the R and lifesaver buttons can be replaced by keys unused in the crossword like spacebar, 123. Maybe subdivide the spacebar?

Ad-free crosswords updated every day. Works fine. FYI: First time opening app after install, close and reopen and it’ll load.

The best Crossword app on iOS

One of the few apps I use daily and I very much enjoy the ability to pull up a variety of different publications crosswords. Would love to see an update to include the NYT Midi which has been daily since March and maybe some English (not American) selection’s.

Glitchy

I just downloaded this to give it a try. On first launch there was an endless spinner, but once I force restarted the app it worked. Now that I’m trying to do a crossword, it keeps not responding to taps for 10-30 seconds at a time while the timer keeps running. The concept of the app seems great, the performance bugs just need to be ironed out before I’d use it regularly
