I love the games, but it kills the battery ridiculously fast. A 20 minute crossword should not use more battery than an hour of streaming YouTube!! My S24 gets super hot just doing a simple crossword!!! The app is running ridiculous amounts of processes in the background, and I have to believe it's becuase they are monitoring and selling advertising data, but who knows.

tried to play wordle and it made me give personal information and then sent me to a Healthcare site. Couldn't even get into the game?

Too bad I can’t use any more.
I loved this app 5 stars. Now I can’t use it on my perfectly functioning iPad. Fix this please.

The games are fun but the app itself is buggy. During crosswords, letters will disappear sometimes right after you type them in. Sometimes the whole board (and timer) resets. In Wordle, the keyboard does not register letters frequently, no matter how slowly you type. The dominoes game has a weird visual glitch when you rotate the dominoes, where they'll scrunch up into a tiny box so that you can't see the numbers. I'm fully up-to-date on modern hardware.

Glitches with Midi puzzles
The app doesn’t consistently load the midi crosswords. Please fix!

Love the variety of crossword puzzles.
Thank you for providing so many crossword puzzle varieties, as well as an extensive archive of each. You’ve given me many hours of brain strengthening. I’m working hard to beat my physician’s tests and I believe your puzzles help enormously. I’m grateful.

Most Disappointed
App broken again
MIDI puzzle doesn’t show in iPad anymore. Redownloaded but still doesn’t work. You need to get this worked out. Still not working

Pieces should be different color per player
It’s easier to tell what the opponent played
