Simple, but I like it (when it works)

I really like this program a lot! I love cryptograms, and I enjoy being able to do them electronically instead of having to write in letters on paper.

But its still a little buggy. Ive had issues with it freezing up quite a bit, especially with the virtual keyboard locking up and not accepting any input (even "cancel"), and Ive had issues with cracks not working (not appearing as used, either, but not being able to get them to trigger), and Ive had issues with it not reporting the scores correctly (it froze on "5 completed" for the longest time, and then suddenly started behaving and reporting 15 completed, for instance). So there are still some things to work out.

Featurewise, I mostly like it. I wish I could make it not make sounds, ever, but aside from that I find the interface to be fine aesthetically, although Id kind of like it if punctuation didnt appear as a bubble but just as a punctuation mark within the word as well as above. I do wish there was a way to give up on a puzzle thats stumping me, but I did manage to work through the one that really had me beat (by cheating, with Google, on the trivia crack -- Id rather have admitted defeat and not gotten the points dishonestly, though). Id kind of like better directions, especially on how to use the cracks, which took a little trial and error.

I find the puzzles themselves very enjoyable, with a good level of challenge. Id buy expansions sets of puzzles, if they were made available.
