Add Crossword Setter to Editions Crossword
From Userhelp:
We received this feedback from an iOS Editions app user:
"The new editions format for cryptic crosswords does not include the compiler’s name. This should be provided as it is often referred to in clues and also allows the solver to know which devious mind they are dealing with. I know I can find it by looking at the full download but having it in the dedicated puzzles section would make things easier."
Another report of this via User Help:
"I do the cryptic crossword daily on my iPad, about a week after the day it’s published which usually suits me. It’s irritating that the setter is not supplied, but on this particular puzzle (29858, published Friday the 21st of November), it was infuriating that the special instructions were not there so the puzzle was almost impossible without guesswork and the check button!!! 11 clues had no definition but were part of a theme.
It was only when we checked the blog that we realised the instructions were missing.
Can you ensure that the iPad version always has any special instructions and also could you include the setters name as this often features as part of a clue, as it did in this crossword.
Otherwise what is the point of publishing the crossword?"
We'll continue to monitor user feedback to inform prioritisation.
