Crossword Author has a built-in clue database and word list, but you can also use your own clue database and word list. See the Crossword Author support site for details.
Open crossword puzzle files directly from Safari, email, or use iTunes File Sharing. Crossword Author also reads and writes text versions of puzzles. This is especially useful for incomplete puzzles. See the Crossword Author support site for text puzzle format.

Open completed puzzles with other crossword apps. Tap the Organize button and then choose "Open With..." to send the puzzle to a crossword app such as "Crosswords" or "Across Lite".
Latest reviews of Crossword Author app for iPhone and iPad
why do you have to fill in the letters with the grid upside down and backwards?
but people are way too fast to judge. crossword construction requires patience and good sense and apparently the bad reviews come from those with neither. stick to candy crush. this app takes some getting used to - meaning you actually have to look through the menus and try a few different things - but soon its quite simple to understand. i am a professional, published and paid constructor and have used this app since release. it is unfortunate that bad reviews probably have prevented further updates...otherwise 5 stars.
No documentation, no website...no possibility to create your own wordlist though the description states you can do so. Im so disappointed.
Its not worth a dollar. The controls are confusing and it crashes every time I try to open the settings. I want my money back.
Dont waste your money...agree with the other reviewer.
