Guardian Puzzles & Crosswords for Positive User Reviews

✓ Works GreatWorks like a charm for me. I don’t have any of the problems cited in other reviews. All the Guardian puzzles are available and the puzzle navigation is smooth, unlike when I try to do the Times puzzles in their app..MathprofrockstarVersion: 1.4

✓ Much improvedAll the problems plaguing the previous version seemed to been resolved and the new version is a very enjoyable crossword app..Jon RimmerVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Killer sudoku impossible to seeHi, the puzzles are great and there’s tons of them. A big back catalogue you can work your way through too. But two huge issues. 1. Killer sudoku- the pencilled-in numbers are literally about 3 pixels tall. It’s impossible to do a killer sudoku without the tiny numbers but they are so hard to read. Please make it bigger. 2. A dark mode would be great. This app is blinding at night but I still want to play it 🥺.ObbetsVersion: 1.4

✓ Dark mode pleaseOn the whole, it does what it says on the tin, and it’s reasonably priced. Use it primarily for crosswords and only UX complaint is the slow keyboard, as others have said. Mainly reviewing to say it’d be great to have a dark mode, the all-white layout is very bright at night..OnTheBandwagonVersion: 1.4.1

✓ Good appBought a year’s subscription so I could do the cryptic crossword with a friend. Didn’t work well at first and hard to do collaboratively but after the app updated it worked fine. Shame that can’t do prize crosswords collaboratively but the app is great..EnthnellVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Excellent with one niggle…Massive fan of the Guardian and Observer crosswords so this app is heaven. Love how far back they go…. One minor niggle….please, please introduce a general setting to choose to not have a timer. It starts with every new puzzle and for someone who pops in and out of the puzzles when I have a spare moment, it’s a bit of a wind up…..Corbu 71Version: 1.3.2

✓ I love this!A commuter’s gift. Very smart, very neat. Also great with coffee. And if you’ve always been certain that you’re better / quicker at crosswords than a clever friend... now you can prove it. I have. It has a timer!.DoraemongirlVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Fabulous!I use this app daily, and love the slick clean interface. I have never had any of the app issues that others have reported here. I’ve been using the app about 2 years. It is daily updated to include the days puzzles and is super easy to use. I would like the following features added: - personal records (fastest solve for a particular puzzle type) - ability to highlight multiple cells in sudoku - in-app calculator or combinations possible for the killer sudoku (I’m not good enough at mental maths for that…) These would be serious cherries on a delicious cake..UMatthewuVersion: 1.4.1

✓ Great for crosswords & sodukuApp works really well, I’d say particularly for soduku. Guardian crosswords are fantastic so it’s good to have an app for them and I’m happy to pay as I’d like them to continue. I find the timer annoying but you can hide that now..SuzicatherineVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Guardian Puzzles worth a look.This app is close to what I have been waiting for since the first iPad came out. I love all kinds of crossword puzzles with the cryptics being favourite. Having “quiptic” versions for beginners is excellent. I don’t mind paying for this app. I would, however, like to be able to use it in landscape view. I would also like to be able to save my options instead of having to reset them for each puzzle..GlindsayVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Use dailyI’m happy to see landscape on my iPad. It wasn’t a deal-breaker, but very welcome. Most evenings I do the quick crossword together with my daughter who’s living in a different country. She uses The Guardian website as we didn’t seem able to collaborate via our apps. The blurb says we should be able to, but the magic doesn’t happen and there are no full instructions. I’m assuming this would be like WordFeud but maybe I’m too optimistic. Anyway it’s a great app, I’m happy to support The Guardian and I use it daily..LmvlVersion: 1.3

✓ Excellent- but could be improved even furtherIt’s my daily fix over breakfast. Downloaded in October and since done all puzzles back to beginning of September. But....would be good to see more performance stats; for example: - what’s my average time to complete each level of sudoku? - what’s my personal record to complete a given level of sudoku (I keep a written record, but this is 2021 isn’t it?!) - what’s my average and record total time to complete all 5 sudokus on a given day? - and what are the record times across all individual sudokus across all users? (Could be anonymised).AndyibbsVersion: 1.3.1

✓ Startup glitchy but is good funFor those with the freezing on startup issue, the latest puzzles are probably loading in the background with no feedback to you that this is happening. Wait a minute or two for the latest puzzles to download. You’ll only need to do this once. (When you first download the app you’ll see the puzzles are from 2022, wait a while for them to refresh). It’s a shame because a simple “please wait” message would save a lot of headache here. Once the app is updated it works well. Happy subscriber..L0Z_Version: 1.4.1

✓ Good but...I clicked on the year option by mistake (default) so am stuck with it, which is okay - however... Desperately needs global settings Crossword clues split over two entries should flow to the second part automatically How can I configure email? Otherwise, happy to support the Grauniad.Emmzy🏳️‍🌈Version: 1.0.1

✓ Great appExcellent app. Play Together is a fantastic feature. If only there was Dark Mode and a no-sleep setting, it would be unbeatable!.CakeLikeCloudVersion: 1.4

✓ SuperI’ve been moaning about the lack of attention to the puzzles in Guardian Daily ever since it came out. This app puts it all right and provides neat functionality with a pleasing aesthetic..Catlitt£1Version: 1.0.1

✓ Infinite sudoku and convenient access to the EverymanAs a long time sudokuer and budding cryptic solver this is a great little app. A really nice way to have the Everyman puzzles in your pocket to chip away at. The Everyman is difficult enough to be a challenge without being so difficult I can’t solve any clues! Also big thanks to the developers. An earlier version of this app kept forgetting hard solved sudoku pencil marks between sessions. Glad to report that this has now been fixed..SihilVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Enjoying it but couple of issuesI really enjoy doing the Guardian crosswords and Sudoku so was pleased when the app was released. I’m liking the app but a couple of issues: 1. No landscape mode: mainly an issue with the iPad where I usually use it in landscape with my keyboard case. Until that’s fixed I don’t see any reason for using this app instead of the Guardian news app. 2. No Killer Suduko.Ste_L_83Version: 1.2

✓ Good app for sudokus but expensiveThis is a really good sudoku app (I don’t do the crosswords) but it doesn’t work in landscape (mildly frustrating) - the main problem though is the cost. At £3.49 per month it costs close to 40 quid annually which, in my view, is a lot to pay for sudokus. So I’ve had to cancel it, unfortunately, as I am still looking for an app I prefer. If sudokus were included in the newspaper subscription it would be more cost effective, but that’s not the case....Vicker23Version: 1.2.1

✓ I like it but…Really like this app and the crosswords are great. Can I ask the developer makes the keyboard on a iPad Pro Magic Keyboard work rather than have to use the screen keyboard - for those will accessibility issues it is easier to use the attached keyboard.DgwrigleyVersion: 1.3.2

✓ Almost perfectFantastic puzzles and generally great interface. Could you please introduce an undo button, particularly for sudoku, and the option for some sound effects when typing..Simon655123Version: 1.4

✓ Great puzzle app and supports the guardian.Great puzzle app, Very easy to use and helps me gain experience in doing cryptic crosswords...as I can start off with the everyman and quiptic archive. One small change would be great though, if I fill the everyman grid in, can I mark it as complete....as the crosswords with available answers automatically get marked as complete, but there is no way to mark Everyman complete..thanks.Sydney_2000Version: 1.2.1

✓ Love the new iPad landscape featureThank you for introducing landscape mode for iPad. As a future update is it possible you can you can enable user preferences in settings to be saved so that they don’t go back to the default settings every time you reopen a puzzle? Finally, in today’s cryptic the iPad keyboard appears over the top of the puzzle rather the app’s own keyboard at the bottom of the screen as with earlier puzzles which which was much better..CodycoldgolfVersion: 1.3

✓ Wonderful archiveGreat app! There are so many games available in this archive and the app works flawlessly and smoothly..Jude9876Version: 1.0.0

✓ Best crossword app I’ve foundI used to use Crosswords, which is fine, but it lost its linkage to the free crosswords from the Independent, and I stopped my Telegraph subscription. I only need cryptic crosswords. So it’s great that I found the Guardian, which has endless cryptic crosswords of differing levels, and Sudoku as a bonus. The price is fine for a full year, and I’m happy to support the Guardian. Two minor bugs - the screen doesn’t rotate to landscape on my iPad Pro 12.9” (2018), and it always forgets one of my settings (skipping letters that are already filled in). But this is all that any cryptic crossword lover could want, in my opinion..Tgma99Version: 1.0.1
