Very unhappy with the update to the cryptic crossword, especially the fact you can no longer see the entire grid the way you could before and that the grid floats about on the screen. It was great as it was. Now feels gimmicky. There's no need to highlight correct answers in green, or have unchecked ones in red. Gimmicky. How about an option to switch back to the previous look?

I love the Guardian app, but what have you done to the crosswords?? You can't see the whole puzzle anymore without scrolling left and right, and the colours are annoying. you also have to tap twice to check an answer, whereas you used to have to only tap an icon once in the top right of the screen. Crosswords are one of the main reasons I pay for the app, and is making me doubt my subscription fee. Please please bring the old view back!

For the last week the app doesn't open articles properly. They open blank and only appear if you scroll down. Scrolling up and they disappear. It has made the app rather painful to use and having reported several days ago I was told to clear the cache. This doesn't work. Uninstalling the app and then reinstalling fixes it temporarily. However, within an hour the issue is happening again. Not very happy as being a paid subscriber I would expect a proper fix or at least an offer of compensation.
