Does anyone else have the same problem with the guardian app of it not showing the special instructions for the cryptic crosswords?

I'm using it on a mobile (iPhone) so wondering if the same problem occurs on the iPad?

I find it so frustrating that it does not give the special instructions!

Do not use the app , but fyo , sat prize special instructions are 'A birthday tribute '

Hi pianoman
I use the app on the iPad. It is one of the most frustrating aspects that it never gives any special instructions. Also, the clues are sometimes truncated and you don't see all the details. Hopefully it is a work in progress.

Thanks Chirisxx

And thanksChaucer49 for confirming the same problem on iPad!

I have contacted the app people at the Guardian to complain about it, they didn't seem to understand what the problem was so I ended up taking screenshots of yesterdays crossword on the website that showed special instructions, and then a screenshot of the app that did not show the instructions in order to make them understand! (Obviously not crossword fans at the app)

So hopefully they will sort it!
I will post any update I get!
