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?"
