| 3. A novel mobile app working without problem (8) |
| 1. | I don't understand your explanation |
|
| 5. Arranged op left recurring pain in canine |
| 1. | nice clue, arranged is an obvious anagrind that doesn't add anything to the surface though. 'botched' o.e. would be better in that regard |
|
| 13. Dog with off-colour leg after pee apparently ! (8) |
| 1. | By far the best clue of many, with 'dog' as the definition. Cheeky & amusing. Points here. Got to be up there. |
|
| 15. Edit characters deleted from confusing, ill-appointed McQueen movie |
| 1. | Nice effort but I think edit also needs an anagram indicator |
|

| 1. | Well disguised definition albeit it extremely broad! |
|
| 20. In novel form, this was advertised as “Devil’s Island: two appear!” (8) |
| 1. | A decent comp. anag. Points from me. |
|

| 1. | Unpleasant but smoothly satisfying and worthy of points |

| 1. | Neat and concise &lit. Points here. Deserves to be up there. |
|
| 32. One lounges primarily on lap, softly barking |

|
| 35. Pip and Lola play with a new toy (8) |
| 1. | This clue works much better without the "a". |
|
