Froze the first time I opened it. The GUID looked like it was developed in the mid 90s.

Desperately needs an update

My favorite daily relaxation, but now, it freezes when using some functions. But, worse, it freezes after solving a puzzle and doesnt re-set until the next day. I want my puzzles back please.

PLEASE UPDATE

This is the best crossword app out there, but I would really like a working app that doesnt freeze every time I finish a puzzle! Please update!

Dont buy, too buggy

I dont think anyone is bothering to update this app anymore. Its been over a year (at least!) since Ive had problems with this app, and they clearly dont care if its ever fixed.

Great but with glitches

Great free app. Freezes after completing a Quick Cross. Have to restart every time.

Ditto

Ditto with the update problem! This used to be an outstanding app. NO MORE. Until it is updated and the bugs fixed, do not waste your $$.

Loved it until iOS 8

I used this app daily, and still do on my first gen iPad. However, on my new iPhone 6, it locks up when any window pops up.

Was great until the iOS 8 update

This was a great app until the update. Now it freezes, no ability to check answers, and wont tell you when you are done. Sad that I paid the money a couple years ago for something that no longer works. Hasnt had an update in a long, long time. If they update it I would give this a higher review.

Update please!

I have had all of the same issues as the other reviewers - it freezes up, doesnt download puzzles, etc. It was my favorite crossword app years ago, but since re-downloading it, I find myself disappointed that it no longer seems to work.

Fix this App!

This app no longer works for iOS 8. Fix it please.

Dead App

This app should be pulled from the App Store. Its no longer supported (last update was in 2010), and it doesnt work with iOS 8 (freezes every time a puzzle is finished, requiring a hard app restart).

Update, please!!

Used to love this ap. I wish (like everyone else) that it would be updated to allow it to function properly again.

Useless with iPhone 6

Freezes up upon completion of puzzle. Cant delete puzzle except by "edit". I have loved this app for 4 years. But no more. Sent email to tech support. Response said "not our puzzle". No way to even request help. Very sad indeed.

Too many bugs

iOS 8 doesnt agree with this game I guess, freezes if you try to get a hint and even when you complete a puzzle

Junk

Locks up on iPhone 6. Developer wont respond to multiple emails. Dont waste your money!

Buggy

iPhone app freezes when trying to use help function. Very buggy.

Doesnt work anymore

The "tap for errors" feature freezes the app, and the puzzle complete indication no longer works. Please update it.

Terrible - freezes

I cant get through one single game without it locking up. Im deleting it. Dont waste your time.

Meh

Locks up all the time.

Completely Unusable

Without updates to keep up with iOS updates the app has become completely worthless. Show Errors? App freezes. Complete A Puzzle? App freezes. Delete a Puzzle? App freezes.
