There has recently been a change to the user interface and it has made it much harder. I use an iPad and I used to be able to open wordplay and toggle back-and-forth between the puzzle and wordplay. Now I have to back out of word play to get back to the puzzle. This is not an improvement and would like to know how I can get things back to the way they were.

More essays from Rian Johnson please! Great puzzle and fun to have his accompanying voice.

I love hearing about first solves. Hooray for LES Miserables. Mine was when my mom was doing a puzzle and asked the room a clue: what is "tug backwards." I was four years old and I said "GUT."

Personal NATICK eddy for me in the lower left. I didn’t know any of the answers to the clues at all! MAIN APPA DESI No complaints, just rooms me awhile to dog myself out.

Wow! Witty, challenging, fun. This is why I do crossword puzzles !

Amaze! Amaze! Amaze! Fun, not impossible, and so witty. Thank you.

That was cute and elegant. Great puzzle!

I loved and laughed often with this theme. Thank you for a fun Sunday puzzle. I had a personal Natick where 77A has natural decoration for some bookshelves. Of course, I have one on my bookshelf but I didn't even think of it...

Oooooh, Will Shortz’ name is back as editor. Is he back to work?

I reacted verbally in awe when I got 5 down. Can’t wait to find the rest of the theme. Excellent!

Happy Tolkien fan here. Precioussssss. I saw that LESBIANBAR fit and was mad about the dress code hint. Lesbians don’t have to wear… oh … LEATHERBAR is the answer. And, THANK YOU FOR THE MIDI! I love having more crossword puzzles to do.

Great, clever puzzle! Fun solve and I loved catching on to the ring theme.

This was fun and satisfying. I do wish I had not entered rebuses (rebii?) for each color. Took me a longer time than it should to get the revealer.

Woohoo! That was a great puzzle! Very clever and fun. Yeah, not terribly hard for a Thursday, but the enjoyment factor made up,for that. Thanks!

I stood up and cheered when I finished this puzzle. And then I realized I was by myself, and Mr. Schlossberg could not see me. I knew every one of those headlines and enjoyed looking at the dates and trying to remember what was going on at that moment.

27D made me smile. When I was a small child and didn’t know all the rules, I liked going to the 0223 gas station.

Well done Harrison! Congratulations.

28D is the wrong answer in the wordplay column.

Oh! I had the same Natick. Ossa and Vaio were not coming to mind for me. Thank you for the help.

Thank you for all the help with the iPad crashing issue. Glad I was not alone. When I went to the App Store application itself, the button for NYT Games said “update.” We shall see tomorrow if the crashing stops. That has been ANNOYING.

Oh Mr. Grinberg! That's a fine puzzle!! Thank you and well done.

The link to the finished puzzle goes to May 16th instead of May 17th. Thanks for a clever puzzle!

Fooled by the discuss of the clue at 27A. I could not figure out why it would end with D... Great puzzle and a lot of fun. Thank you and happy Sunday.

CONGRATULATIONS Caitlin! May you and your betrothed have a long lifetime of happiness together and make the world a better place.

Where can I find the monthly extra puzzles on the app? TIA
