Hello anne and will, I too am a fan of the Guardian crosswords. I do them most days on my iPhone for running 613. I also have a for S running the latest 7.04 release. However, using the latest release on my for S the access ability of the Guardian crossword has been broken. So, I'm glad that I kept the old iOS running on my iPhone for because this means I can still do the crosswords. After playing with the for S and observing the differences, I think the problem is one of containers. Containers having been introduced to the iPhone iOS, since version seven, I think may have caused some problems with curser focusing/and jumping between containers. I do not have containers turned on in my rotor, so, will try this later on and see if it makes a difference to how well VO deals with the crosswords. In short, if you're running a pre-iOS seven version then you should be good to go, but if you are running version 7X then you may well find it frustrating.
