So far this community has been focused on NYT crosswords. What other crosswords do folks like to do?

I use an app on Android called alphacross to also do Newsday crosswords (for free). The Sat and Sun puzzles are usually pretty good. The Sat puzzle especially is referred to as the Saturday Stumper. It's not often I can finish it without turning on the error tracking feature. The Premier Sunday puzzle is decent as well.

I do The Telegraph's Mini crossword and PlusWord, but I dislike the UX compared to NYT. I also occasionally do the LA Times crossword.

Slowly trying to get myself into Telegraph's cryptic crosswords.

alphacross looks good! Bookmarked it. If you want to do multiplayer crossword solving, I suggest downforacross.com and squares.io

LA Times. Its free and has a good mix of synonyms, word play and trivia. Although I often only get the trivia (musicians, sports) courtesy of guessing after filling in a few perps, its a fun way to learn.
