  Took me from "don't understand cryptic clues at all" to "just completed the Sunday Telegraph cryptic crossword in a couple of hours". And not even finished the chapters yet - only got the app last week. Really rate this app highly; I've had many people try to explain the logic of clues before, but I never cracked the code. This app has unlocked a new activity for me. Would give it 6 stars if that was an option.

  This app deserves every bit of praise it gets. Thank you for your work. I wish i was in a financial position to make any sort contribution. For now, I'll have to settle with a positive rating.

  The only problem I've had so far is that on the practice clues for chapter 4, the letters don't show up when I type the letters in.
