I would probably go as far as to say it's essential. I have the phone app version and think it's brilliant, it even has an anagram solver and a word search facility. I got the dictionary app and Chambers thesaurus and still had change from £10.

Chambers phone app is superb, I agree. Cut my solving time in half compared to using the book. Use it all the time for non listener use as well.

Thanks Malone for the explanation and to Brendan and SmellyHarry for the advice on the app. I had wrongly assumed that the “11” in the clue referred to 11 across. All clear now.

For those who haven't seen it over at the other place, give this one a go.

It's stunning and just keeps giving. There is a video of it being solved here (which also explains elements of the endgame that I'd missed).

Can't recommend it enough.

Thanks simond9x that was a great crossword and watching the solve was excellent. So many layers with the added challenge of the American influence. Thanks again, well worth watching.

Wow, this one was a doozy. I got it all eventually, but I do have a few parsing queries if anyone could lob me a hint or two...
28 wordplay ‘Cored wood to make flutes and harp-like instrument’
42 wordplay ‘Harangue the established order noiselessly’
2 wordplay ‘Northern race in Biblical location’
31 ‘Helpless giggling with no anger on Thursday — could be next after one of three’
Muchly obliged.

Got 28 with a bit more Chambers searching! Ignore that one!

31 If you add a 3 letter synonym for "anger" to the first four letters, you get a 2 word French term meaning "helpless giggling".

2 If you turn the answer upside down (Northern) you get a word that Chambers gives as a "race"

Mooncow, re 42a, take a 3 letter word for 'noise' from a word which can also mean admission to the ministry.
