Crosswords

It's entertaining enough, but clues don't tie in very well with the answer. The timer is difficult to see and there are too many ads for games that pop up, instead of the next crossword puzzle. I am not a gamer.

New Crossword Format

The mini crosswords are fun although some of the answers appear to be British. I would prefer not to have to jump through the other puzzle offerings to continue to the next crossword. Aside from that, the availability of multiple crosswords rather than one per day is a nice change.
If I had my choice, the original crossword format which allowed access to the daily crosswords for prior months/ years suited me better

Mostly fun

This is a fun and entertaining app for the most part. However, some answers have nothing to do with the clues, which means you have to spend free credits to solve the puzzle.
