What Real Users Say
"BE MORE CREATIVE!! STOP REUSING WORDS YOU’VE ALREADY USED!!!"
"I wanted an app for my iPad to do crossword puzzles, and of course looked to the highly rated NYT. After downloading the “free” app, crossword puzzles are one of the only games you CANNOT play unless you pay a monthly $6 subscription fee. COME ON!"
"The new update makes the app unplayable for those with older phones. Don’t want to upgrade to a new phone for 1 app."
