    Good, and sometimes not good. by Wayne

    It's the best crossword experience on Windows Phone, but most of the publishers on offer have stopped releasing new crosswords. Really needs to offer more choices. Touch control is not aligned properly on Windows 10 Mobile and Lumia 950 making it frustrating to use as well.

    Mostly works by john

    Wsj puzzles are great. Using a Lumia 950 however and I have to hit the square directly underneath the one I want to highlight.

    This is a great crossword app! The interface is fairly well laid out, and the different view options are each quite useful. This app is definitely worth the money for crossword fans.

    Recently switched from iPhone to Windows phone... Sadly, like so many others, this app is sub par. Yes it works, but lacks many simple features that would make it so much better. I'd especially like it to move the cursor to the next vacant letter rather than a word that's already solved. Also, puzzle selection is just... clunky. It's the best I've found for WP, which still isn't saying much.
