Unhappy crossword user This used to be a great App until the Guardian decided to prettify the crosswords. When I complained about the floating grid I was told it's expected behaviour. I'm sure no-one asked for this and all that's happened is that they've annoyed many loyal supporters. I've now re-installed the previous Version of the app and hope the original crossword layout is offered as an option some time.

It's an excellent alternative when you can't actually get hold of the hard copy, and, it updates during the day! Later update.. But what has happened to the format of the quick crosswords. It seems to have changed overnight and now not nearly so friendly! Adice is needed on whether it's my mobile or your changes. And, furthermore, how can we get it back to the old format?

Love the app, long-time subscriber here. I'm writing this review primarily to say that the app has been making me log in everytime I open the app and want to read an article. Once I go through that login process, I can read articles until the next time I close and re-open the app. Then it makes me login again. This has been happening for weeks now. Can this somehow be fixed? Except for that, I highly recommend the app.
