CiderField, the quiet little magazine of puzzle apps
A German-language editorial project testing nine free Android board and word-puzzle games for whether they can sustain a calm evening.
Why it surfaced
CiderField says it plays each title over several weeks, rather than merely repeating store-page ratings, and explains how games enter its catalog. The result is an unusually specific piece of consumer criticism: ChessCraft, offline Nine Men's Morris, thousands of crossword puzzles, Sudoku, Nonograms, and more—presented without advertising placements.
