Pros and cons of 365 Crosswords app for iPhone and iPad

365 Crosswords app good for

Its awesome that there are difficulty levels. Nice interface too. The puzzle solving is really smooth.

Lots of puzzles packed into this app. Very easy to use on my commute.

Love the interface -- very smooth. Really like the sorting by difficulty and author. Nice job!

This is a great app, challenging, but how fun is a crossword puzzle if it is too easy! great interface too.

Good game play, easy to use and figure out. App seems to crash a little more often then I would deem acceptable.

Excellent challengers from top constructors such as Elizabeth Gorski, Harvey Estes, Frank Longo and many others. My only quibble is the occasional crash has not been fixed as of yet. Four star review for now. Five stars when fixed!

Some bad moments

Probably the worst application Ive used on the iPhone! No instructions on how to use features, constantly sends you back to the opening screen and erases words. A waste of time and money!

Not fun what so ever. Even the easy ones are too hard. Theyre just crosswords taken from youre daily paper. Very lame

Not user friendly, and NOT the right app if youre looking for an easy crossword

This app is so frustrating to use! It crashes every other move you make. Very annoying.

The app crashes CONSTANTLY and doesnt even save any progress...if this issue is corrected easily a 4 star app. Edit: the update which took months to come out does not fix the crashing or saving issue...waste of $5.

My main complaint about this application comes not from the poor interface or the frequent crashes, but rather the content. I have yet to find a decent crossword on the game. The clues are poorly written and often repeated. I regret purchasing this app. I highly recommend puchasing a different one if you are looking for decent crossword puzzles.
