Panagram problems and puzzle selection

Panagram still unplayable despite alleged fix. Also when I use the mini Panagram button I get to play the mini Panagram but when I use the Panagram button I then have to further select between mini or standard. Why make life difficult?

Keeps crashing

Great app but sick of constant crashing - happens almost every day. Using with iPhone but husband has same issue with google pixel. Can you sort this out please?

Version 4.0.1 has ruined letter selection in Panagram

Edit:Update 4.3.0 claims to have fixed Panagram. Sadly, it hasn’t.

Doing the Panagram this morning. Selecting letters is very hit and miss. So much so that I checked if there’d been an update; and there had. Selecting letters is now hard work and makes the puzzle not enjoyable

Dark Mode Missing
