Uninstalled and Frustrated. I reached out previously with issues about the timer in the app. I got unhelpful advice. I was having issues with the games loading, and I saw it needed an update. I pay the subscription for this, and updated. I can open the app but none of the games load. I see other people are having overheating issues. this is a very simple app, and NYT is autobot responding. I refuse to pay for an app that will not fix simple issues. Be better, this is just sad.

while i still love the games, the app is suddenly taking too much battery. seems like common issue via reddit and its needs a fix ASAP

sometime within the past few months the UI for the "read and comment on the Wordplay Blog" section was changed for the worse. Whereas that section used to stay in the dark mode like the rest of the app, with the changes the Wordplay article now displays in the light theme (which I hate because I like to do my crosswords at bedtime and the light theme wakes me up and prevents me from sleeping). ALSO, the comments section of the Wordplay is often inaccessible from my phone with the new changes

Terrible paywall

The games are great, but adding friends doesn't work for androids.

Only Spelling bee is worth playing, the crosswords and connections are atrociously stupid

reviews are paid. can't even play the same puzzle for 5 mins without paying for a subscription. the only logical reason to use this app is to learn about the kinds of puzzles that exist, then installing an app that doesn't restrict your playtime for the specific puzzle. I really hope people aren't seriously paying for what they can get for free in less than 2 mins of searching the play store.

Battery drain issues!!! The app drains battery at a ridiculous rate of over 38% per hour. Uninstalling and reinstalling the app helped for a few days but the problem just starts again after that. Fix this please.

Fun little games to do whilst you are waiting for something else. Midi crossword has been unavailable to play for months now. a rather persistent bug which has not been fixed.
