2 stars for last update 5 STARS FOR THE FIX
UPDATE* After the previous update removed the ability to use a Bluetooth keyboard I contacted support. To my surprise they replied and said they would fix it..... THEY DID! 5* for customer support and a great app. If I were to be picky (which I'm not) I would suggest to allow the keyboard on screen to be turned off when using an external keyboard. Excellent app and great customer support who listens to users suggestions. Support this developer! Last update removed the ability to use a Bluetooth keyboard. Otherwise this is a 5* app. Good clues and great puzzles. Developers please fix the keyboard issue and I'll give 5 *
Capt. Geno
I 'm a crossword fanatic ,but do have trouble mastering The NY Times puzzles, this however is as challenging as I like my crossword puzzles to be, makes you think and work for the solutions . Keeps my aging mind challenged. PS : I'm not old, only 78 this year!
Latest update
Thank you for your latest update that corrected my iPad issue. This is a very nice app and I highly recommend it.
Challenging
The 2 points I applaud are: 1. I almost always learn a word new to me in one of these puzzles. 2. It is possible to check a letter or a word for accuracy.
Level
Would like them harder
Great
Just the right level of difficulty to be enjoyable.
Good app
Greet for short stints of downtime. No need for connection. Can be played in airplane mode.
Entertaining, priced well, only slightly buggy
Thank you Teazel for for providing various crossword apps with enough free puzzles to feel satisfying and worth the download and an in-app purchase price to unlock more puzzles that feels like a bargain especially with the all-pack price discount. The puzzles are about the right amount of difficulty for me and the fact that mistakes are not automatically flagged allows me to catch my own, like a "real" puzzle, but gives me the option if I want assistance. I like the US edition because the layout is more what I am used to with more clues, but I am getting used to the layout in their other puzzles as well ( currently the cryptic crossword are offering a high level of challenge as I'm still puzzling out how to interpret the clues). Buggy in that all the Teazel puzzle apps I've tried will occasionally freeze up on a clue and I have to shut down the app to reset. Not a big deal, but happens. Otherwise 5 star.
BEST crossword app yet
Try for free, buy packs for a very minimal fee if you choose. I rarely find an app I'm willing to pay for, but this deal was too good to resist. For under $3, I have access to nearly 500 puzzles. Unlike some others, you're not given just a few letters to choose from for your answer but instead the entire keyboard. Also unlike others, I haven't had to pay more for hints, watch videos, or join Facebook to keep playing. No waiting for tokens or energy, no too-cute graphics or animations, just very nice, clean crossword puzzles. I love being able to do several a day or just one and not having to do them in any certain order. Great job on this app!
Great Puzzles
Great puzzles but what they don’t tell you is that after you play 3 games you have to pay to play any more. If you like doing puzzles these are good. Worth the $2.99 to get. So far it hasn’t frozen or shutdown on me and NO ads!!!
Great Until I Have to Purchase to Continue
Thought this was the crossword I'd been looking for until I have to purchase future games. No thanks. Deleting from my phone after this review.
Not bad
Purchased the packs (540 puzzles). Not bad overall. Too much British influence in clues and answers. Many repetitive words (don’t know how much more ova, era, and err I can take).
Difficulty level
If you do the New York Times app these puzzles are Monday level. Fun but easy. I did however only start one of the puzzles… Maybe some of the other puzzle packs are more difficult.
Vague clues
Clues are vague and some of them are of non English origin.
