I am a fan of The Guardian. It's not surprising that Jason Bourne meets one from The Guardian. But it's tiring to keep seeing that Pay in USD. I don't want to pay in USD. I want to pay in INR. Where's the option for that?!

Love the app. I use it daily. However, please, please can you allow a calendar search for older puzzles? I've completed that many, I have to keep scrolling to find a date where there's a puzzle I haven't seen. If I accidentally click a completed one, I have to start scrolling from the beginning again! For those interested, I'm actually a descendant of the late Jeremiah Garnett. He was a reporter and editor who built The Guardian from a fragile 1821 startup into a powerful daily newspaper.
