Go here and either download the Windows or Mac OS X installer --- it should be XWord-macOS.zip or XWord-Windows.exe.

Support for the Acrostic puzzles at the WSJ. I like these puzzles, but I've found the applet to be extremely slow at responding to text input, which makes it a pain to use. This allows you to download .jpz files which can be solved with XWord or Crossword Nexus.
Love NYT crossword app the death, but struggling financially. Any cheaper ways to get a subscription?

Many apps will also get you a load of other premium quality free crosswords, such as USA Today, Universal, LA Times, etc. The aformentioned alphacross or Xword, just to name two apps.

The New Yorker downloader in XWord is fixed, and I think it's likely that there'll be a new release of the app soon.

The best tool for downloading crosswords is https://github.com/downforacross/downloadacross, a Chrome plugin which I have contributed to. Unfortunately it doesn't yet support the New Yorker but if you happen to be or know a programmer who would be willing to implement it, that's the place to implement it. I had a quick look at the site just now and it's not easy to work out how they're storing the crossword data, but I'm sure it's possible 😅
