Wonderful, intuitive app

A dream to use, has really gotten me into crosswords and helped me get better at them.

★★★★★cypressf4/17/2024
Kudos for including a one time purchase

I like that there’s an option to buy the premium features once instead of subscribe

My Daily Dose

I use Black Ink on my phone every morning to complete the NYT and WSJ crosswords. It’s simple and straight-forward, and never gets in my way. Try it!
