Dinsun Review
I’ve been doing word searches in newspapers for decades. This digital version is... fine. It’s clean, it’s functional, and it doesn't require a pen that will inevitably run out of ink. But there’s zero innovation here. It’s the same words in the same types of grids we’ve seen for fifty years. The interface is uninspired, and the 'soup' theme is barely present. If you need to kill ten minutes in a waiting room, it’s adequate. But don't expect it to stimulate your brain any more than a cereal box would. Also, the ads at the bottom of the screen are a constant, minor annoyance.
