Simple fun

I love the endless stream of puzzles and can choose source/difficulty. The UI is great as you can use left thumb on arrows to scroll through clues and it always shows both directional clues on whatever square youre on. One of the oldest apps ive owned and amazed its held up so long, just had to finally post a review! Also appreciate diff options like i enjoy the red letter mode for incorrect letters life is too short to have to wrangle a puzzle to trip over bad guesses!

Problems

I’ve used this app for years and appreciate its many great features and I still prefer it to alternative apps but over the past months I’ve experienced and reported problems to the developer. The worst problem is occasionally when solving a puzzle and then switching to another app and then returning to this one all of my entries disappear. Not good! As commented by other reviewers the formatting within the app is inconsistent with titles not been fully displayed and most annoyingly on the iPad the puzzle grid continually re-sizes itself when checking clues.

There are some problems which have resurfaced

Right now, not one of my favorite apps. Major problems since the last update, there are a few glitches in it. The latest update makes it so you can't even see the top line across because it's shaded by the toolbar and the puzzle won't move.
