great for winding down or for snatching a few minutes to challenge myself for memory and for catching the puns.

I paid for the full version and now the app won't even open.

This is a great app. It is easy to use and the puzzle selection is very good. I was impressed with the very fast response I received when I asked why some puzzles didn't show up. It was a known problem. They told me an update was coming very soon, which it did, and what to do in the meantime. Great customer service. Thanks.

I like the different puzzles available thru this game. It's fun and engaging. I don't like the prompts to upgrade, but who does?

I don't know if it is my computer or something about the app my computer doesn't like. I turn off the computer every night and when I turn it back on and click on Tow Across the computer hangs up for about 30 seconds. Nothing works. If I have other windows open I can't click on them and the cursor is just a cursor and not an arrow until Two Across finishes loading. Everything works fine after Two Across opens. I tried opening Task Manager to see what is happening when Two Across opens but there is no reaction from Task Manager Processes until Two Across opens then it shows 60% to 80% CPU and 50% Memory usage. Not sure when your last update was but I noticed this problem around 1 March 2017. I usually click on the app then go and grab snacks and refill the water glass and when I get back it is ready to go. I only noticed it when I didn't have very many emails so the water glass was full. Therefore, is it my computer or is there a hang up problem with Two Across? Thanks

One of the better crossword apps. Easy on the eyes and easy to use. Clues are very imaginative and unique. Lots and lots of hours of fun!!

Paid the fee a couple of months ago, yet now I'm locked out of puzzles on previous days. And the only menu choice is "Choose Puzzle." A week ago I would have given you 5 stars.

I recently replaced my Android Tablet with a Surface Pro, and the only thing that I really miss is a decent crossword app like Shortyz on Android. Two Across is really close, but it doesn't play nice with Windows 10's onscreen keyboard, nor does the in-app keyboard really work that well on a full-sized screen. The app settings page even mocks me for not wanting to play with a full keyboard. My two workarounds for this problem: While in Tablet Mode, right click/long-press on the task bar and select Always Show Keyboard Button. I can then turn the keyboard on and off at will and it's a little more convenient. Alternately: Emulate Android and run Shortyz. Obviously I'd prefer to run a native app, but it works okay! Please update with a better solution for onscreen keyboards. Thanks, guys for all your hard work.

I like the variety of different puzzles, but some of the puzzle clues are off the wall. Very frustrating sometimes when the clues are so random. I do a lot of crossword puzzles, and even when I finally figure out the answer, I'm left scratching my head. It seems some of the puzzle creators are not true crossword people.
