Ratings and Reviews
Cant access Telegraph puzzles
Really liked this App so paid to upgrade to the pro version. But it won't download the Daily Telegraph cryptic puzzles and I have a subscription for this. But when I try to enter credentials to access them nothing happens. Cant find any support apart from the faq which doesn't answer this problem. Feel like Ive wasted the upgrade cost. But works on my iPhone! Not happy!
Don’t waste your money
If you like UK puzzles then there’s nothing here. Even trying to download old puzzles is very difficult if not impossible, scrolling back using the date picker is very buggy, it frequently sticks on the current month, or when scrolling backwards the current date appears and it then won’t go back. I have never yet got further back than 2013.
The old version was better but of course virtually no UK puzzles now available. Yes it isn’t their fault but surely they could make something available.
If you want a US puzzle then it may well be fine, if you want anything else then don’t waste your time or money.
Basterds
Like previous reviewers I’ve been using this app for at least 7 years to complete the independent crossword most days. Keeps my poor brain active. Anyway, It stopped downloading the Independent a few days ago so I deleted the old app and downloaded the latest version.
On this new version I then had to upgrade to get back to where I was. OK - I’m happy to upgrade for the price of a cappuccino given how much use I’ve given it over the years. Fair enough. It costs money to develop an app.
But NOW I can’t download the independent at all. It’s disappeared from the available list.
So my cappuccino has gone cold and smells a bit of manure. (Not using the other word cos my review will be marked as too rude).
Anyway. Stand Alone. I’ll be asking for my money back.
Better luck next time. I’m off to find an app that works.
