Great crossword app Works perfectly, been through so many puzzles already. Really enjoying it
★★★★★
Excellent I have missed the British style cryptic crosswords for a long tome now since they are not so popular here in the US. I love the user interface. Great job, Guardian. I would happily pay for this app.
★★★★★
Crossword heaven I've always enjoyed guardian crosswords so this is a winner. Note it doesn't work with Swype, you have to revert to the stock keyboard. Would also be good if it counted how many words you cheat on per puzzle.
★★☆☆☆
Didn't work at all on Motorola Defy, Android 2.1. Force closes when attempting to download/refresh puzzles.
★★☆☆☆
Hmm Still in 2 week trial period but won't DL anymore puzzles, and missed one for last Saturday. Was good when it was free. Greedy guardian, uninstalling now.
★★☆☆☆
Excellent Been waiting for this ever since they put the crosswords online. Great app. Highly recommend. Note - Update has broken the keyboard. Useless now.
★★☆☆☆
Adding text is all messed up When i enter one letter then whichever letter i click next i get the first letter instead. Weird and annoying. Using a galaxy s2.
