Cryptic Crossword App Reviews

1. Head of Goodyear with upset tear is huge (5) 2. Program of biblical fruit without French article (3)

Pity a number of the clues are reused in later puzzles, especially the paid-for ones!

I love these British-style puzzles and theyre hard to find in the states. This is a pretty good set of them, not super challenging but decent. You do need to be prepared for British slang and spellings, but that only adds to the charm. The app could use some work on its interface. Its not nearly as streamlined as, say, the NY Times crossword app. No controls to move to the next or previous clues except to tap on the grid, and it doesnt skip over filled squares so you end up retyping a lot of letters.

Apparently written by Brits, but not overly culture-specific, so Americans, New Zealanders and other Anglophones will be more baffled than usual.
