Great except for bug (updated)
I generally really like this app! It doesn’t have quite as many features as Phil, but since Phil is web-based and I can’t use it on my iPad this is a great alternative. However, there is a bug where every time I try to fill in a square on the bottom half of the grid, the whole grid slides down toward the bottom of the screen behind the keyboard. This isn’t a dealbreaker because when I close the keyboard I can see the whole grid again, but it is really annoying and it would be nice if this could be fixed. Other than that it’s great! UPDATE: the developer was super quick to respond and fix the issue! Changed my rating to 5 stars :)

United StatesVery cool app!
Very cool app! I like it lots! Thanks Miranda
United StatesGreat new update
The new update is a massive improvement. Love that dictionary suggestions can be toggled off, and that there are more options for types of squares. Thank you to the developer! One improvement i would like to see in a future version is a way to play my crossword in-app, so others can try without having to markup a PDF. Otherwise, excellent work!
United StatesExcellent creator app
A great app for crossword constructors, especially if you’re into completing your fill by hand. I do most of my constructing on my commute and using PC or browser-based apps wasn’t really an option. The light weight interface is really easy to work with and the built in dictionary suggestions are really helpful with good variety. Have noticed a bug with autosave failing every now and then and a duplicate puzzle gets saved. Doesn’t happen very often. Would also love a .puz export option to load to different sites for sharing. Overall an excellent app. I highly recommended for anyone looking for a simple constructing app.
United StatesFun, easy, relaxing
This is a super-fun, easy-to-use app for crossword construction. I downloaded this last night and created my first ever puzzle in a couple of hours. It was a blast. I love being able to construct on my phone… opening my laptop feels too much like work! I imagine that this is a labor of love for Ms. Strand, but FWIW I’d happily pay a few bucks for some “premium” features like exporting in .puz format so I could more easily share it with friends. Even better? A way to share a link which would take someone directly to my puzzle which I could just share over text message. I’d also really like a way to select and move answers around… that’d be really useful during the theme and grid creation phase. The other thing which would be cool would be a quick shortcut to create black squares – like a double-tap for instance. Overall, though – this is great. Thank you, Ms. Strand, for this awesome contribution to the crossword community!
