Unreadable clues The new dark blue background for the crossword clues on the iPad version makes them extremely hard to read. There’s simply not enough contrast. Please go back to a lighter blue so we can actually read the clues.
Fix the highlight color, please! I love the puzzles but recently, the color of the clue highlight has changed to a darker shade of blue that makes it difficult for this vision-impaired player to read. Please change it back to the light blue.
What??? Some of the puzzles make no sense 🫤
Very annoying that App is no longer supported on older devices NYT should not be forcing paying customers to buy new devices and render older devices that are otherwise perfectly ok obsolete to the point of becoming landfill
Lost high score and streak Because there was an issue with crossword, but they made me reinstall before posting a fix. I lost my wordle streak and higher score. Thanks for taking care of subscribers.
Love it but $$$ I love these games and would pay a buck or two a month for the rest. That subscription price is beyond insane for what amounts to a pile of flash games from the 2000s.
Very high battery usage This app has always used a lot of battery on my iPhone 13, but with the latest update, it has become an absolute hog. Spending a 30 minutes in a puzzle drains 20% of my battery and it makes my phone get HOT! There must be a lot of background activity or the app is poorly optimized, because my battery health is still decent. A crossword puzzle is simple, low refresh rate, nothing moving on the screen... it shouldn't use that much battery.
Fixes Please fix the dictionary. It is full of errors and omissions. Get each game visually consistent on the start page including link to archives and successful scores from the users day. Don’t let the winning sudoko sound cut off any background audio with its chime. Just strip it since there is no congratulatory music for any of the games. Then users won’t have to leave the nyt app to turn their music or audiobook back on.
shame App runs slower than my grandma. NYT keeps paywalling games so only half are available.
Games I enjoy the Connections, the Crossword and Wordle with my morning coffee. A great way to start my day
