  • Must download!

    Just found out about kakuro today, and it’s much more fun than sudoku! This game also doesn’t have any ads, which is amazing. Everything runs smoothly, and it’s everything you could ask for in an app. They also give you some quick instructions in the beginning on how to play

    There are free starter packs, free weekly puzzles, and you can purchase more packs too. Lots of variety. I’m absolutely hooked on this game

  • Best version of a great puzzle game

    First, Kakuro is a great puzzle game in its own right, much more fun than Sudoku in my opinion. I like it because it is a number and logic puzzle, whereas Sudoku is strictly a logic puzzle. Second, Conceptis has combined quality puzzles that are accurately graded for difficulty with a flawless user interface and a never ending supply of new puzzles to produce the best Kakuro app available. Conceptis began publishing great Kakuro books in 2006 and with this app has continued with the same quality and grading system digitally. Beware, once you develop some skill, Kakuro is very entertaining and you can easily get hooked and waste an incredible amount of time. Highly recommended. I did suggest a couple of improvements, one of which I have seen in another app. It would be helpful in solving if you could either enter color coded pencil marks, or if you had the option to place pencil marks in the order in which they are entered. So far, they don’t seem inclined to implement either of these suggestions.

  • Easy to use but challenging

    Very easy to use! It allows to to choose multiple numbers for an unknown box to revisit later. It also has a tab to show you all the number calculations available for that row. Just in case you are unsure, there is a tab to show you if you have any mistakes. It comes with a limited amount of free puzzles but they can be erased and revisited again. Purchasing puzzles is reasonable.

    Thank you for your feedback. We see you like this game, but you only gave it 4 stars which probably means there is something missing or something you would like us to improve. Please let us know what this is so we can make this game the best 5-star in its category
  • Conceptis Puzzles are the BEST

    Conceptis just keeps getting better and better. Excellent puzzles across the board. I have downloaded and played many of their games and have been quite pleased with them all. I’ve never been disappointed. Keep on going Conceptis. You ALWAYS deliver a superior product. A Grateful Puzzle Addict
  • Cross Sums forever!

    I truly enjoy this app. The only improvement I would like to see would be a help feature where I could learn some more advanced solving techniques. This would be a huge undertaking. The skills included in the app are the standard ones, but where there are many options for learning advanced sudoko techniques, I find very limited options for advanced Kakuro techniques. I can solve the hard level with time but sometimes get stuck on the hard plus level. I need new techniques before I try the truly challenging puzzles.

    Thank you for your feedback and suggestions. We hope in the future we will be able to add an Assistant feature as we did for the Sudoku app. This will then help significantly in learning new techniques.
  • Fantastic for number logic fans

    First the nitpick: There is a learning curve to a point, especially if mental math is not your forte. Learning the “Kakuro block” combinations will help immensely if you’re a new player.

    Other than that, if you are a fan of these things, run, do not walk, to this app. Not only are the puzzles appropriately graded for difficulty, but you get a huge array of starter puzzles to help you figure out the difficulty that’s right for you. There is also a new bonus puzzle each week and new content, all reasonably priced, is added regularly. Being able to check your grid as many times as you want to is also very helpful.

    The quality of this is a close second to famed Japanese puzzle makers Nikoli for puzzles that are challenging but fair no matter what your skill level. There are many other Conceptis apps, so there is a good chance that you will find the kind of logic puzzle that suits your fancy. Recommended on all counts!

  • Fun to play

    I enjoy the logic challenge of the game. I also appreciate being able to just buy a batch of puzzles when I’m ready, rather than a subscription or dealing with ads. The game works smoothly with lots of helpful features. Thanks for the hours of fun puzzling!

    This issue is actually a bug in iOS 14, and that's why you saw it as soon as you did the update. We found a workaround and will release an update soon which will fix this issue.

  • I love Kakuro

    I want right to the hard levels. I started Kakuro as soon as Dell came out with the written ones and have been addicted ever since! I wish there were more out there!
  • Good version

    Interesting method of play, with undos and automatic pencil marks which update as you play (as an option) I’ve had no trouble loading our playing. No errors or freezes. Wonderful. Was hoping the colors in the preview were available, but I didn’t see a setting for them. Many games included, and it looks like many available to buy. Good deal!
