Customer Reviews

A reference library in your pocket
Summary: A cryptic crossword fan's best friend!
Review: All the tools you need to help with those last couple of clues you just can't get. Easy to use (didn't read the instructions). Pleasantly surprised at how small it was when removed from the box (it looks large in the photo, but it's only about 4" by 3" and easily fits in your pocket). Less than half the price of its nearest competitor too!

Bradford Electronic
An excellent crossword solving tool and easy to use.

I would have only one slight quibble I would have preferred a slightly bigger keyboard as the letters are close together. Mind you as one that takes 20 minutes to send a short text I am not the best qualified typist anyway.

I have entered the modern age!
For years I have done my cryptic crosswords with a dictionary and a dusty old Psion ( now sadly expired). I reluctantly bought this solver because I found using the computer to help me a bit cumbersome - cannot fit the blooming thing in my handbag.

Wow - it is like going from a Trabant to a Ferrari. It really has got everything (though bear in mind my trusty Psion had technology that was probably 15 years old). I am still working through the instructions but it has proved really comprehensive so far. The kids use it to help them with their english homework.

The one criticism I would have is that the display is too small. There are too many words crammed into the screen. This may have something to do with the fact that I am becoming long sighted and refuse to give in to the call for glasses.

I also agree with a previous comment that the keyboard is a tad small - people with big paws may find it a bit fiddly.
