What's new (v1.6.2)
Two solver-requested improvements:
• On-screen keyboard toggle — turn off the on-screen keyboard in Settings if you use a Bluetooth or physical keyboard, and reclaim the screen.
• Landscape layout — turn your device sideways and the grid fills the full height on the left, with a scrollable clue list beside it. Great on a tablet.
• Corrected display issue in clue section where clue text and numbers where not being displayed properly.
