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

Any chance someone could sort that out. Cheers

Can’t come back to continue a puzzzle

Recently I’ve found that answers in partially completed puzzles have disappeared if I close the app and back later intending to continue/ complete the puzzle. Very frustrating.

Latest update is unplayable

The latest update has wrecked this app. Playing panagram is now impossible, as you have to hit any letter repeatedly to try to get it to register. Unplayable. Terrible update.

Glitchy - Slow to enter letters and sticky

In the last few weeks I have found that it is increasingly slow to enter letters for puzzles. Of particular frustration are the sticky letters on the mini panagram, which always seem to include the middle letter, making the timed nature of this entirely pointless. I hope it gets sorted, as it is really frustrating as it is.
