I was able to get Sunday May 25th puzzle, but none on the 26th or 27th.  My 
subscription is fine, I can get the puzzle with my laptop. I did get a System 
upgrade pushed to the phone on Saturday the 24th. Android 4.4.2

Problem is that the Times changed up the URLs of puzzles on Monday. The archive 
listing is now:

(1) http://www.nytimes.com/crosswords/archive/index.html

and from there you can see that the format for each puzzle is now:

(2) http://www.nytimes.com/svc/crosswords/v2/puzzle/daily-{YYYY}-{MM}-{DD}.puz

Missing my puzzles also.  Will this be sorted by Shorty'z?

It seems like it may be as simple as changing the URL to fetch the NYT
puzzle (since it moved).  If we do not hear back in a day or two, I will
take a crack at it.

It looks like Scrape puzzles (which I have never tried) is also not updating 
correctly.
