  • Surprising Application

    This application has a feature that drove me nuts with other versions. The automatic erasure of chosen values in associated rows and columns makes it easier to figure combinations. This application can test you severely if you don’t use all the available tools. As a starter I appreciate the “Check” capability to find errors early on. Excellent time killer. Keeps the mind sharp.

  • Very nice app

    Very clean and functional. Only wish there were more difficult puzzles to buy!
  • Very good

    Challenging, but it needs a one time charge instead of purchase after purchase to keep playing…
  • My Go-To addiction

    This is my guilty pleasure when I get some time to myself! And I do feel like I’m using my brain. Been using it glitch-free for years.
  • Great Features, poor puzzles

    This has all the features I wish I had in my other Kakuro app. Features that I love include showing the possible number combinations and the ability to cross out ones that won’t work, removing penciled numbers when you add a correct one in that row/column, and being able to check if you have an incorrect number - not just a number that fits, but the one that belongs in that space. Unfortunately, there puzzles are extremely difficult and do not use a lot of the standard combinations I’m used to in other puzzle apps. I found myself struggling even on the Medium puzzles and had to resort to using the check button. Get better puzzles and this would be a 5!

    Developer Response

    Thank you for your feedback, and for praising the various features contained in our app. And yes, we are aware that our puzzles are more difficult compared to what is generally available in the market. This has always been our unique advantage and what many of our puzzle fans have been requesting since we started providing Kakuro puzzles to publishers worldwide 20 years ago. By the way, the app contains an autofill pencilmarks button above the grid which is very helpful when solving harder puzzles.
  • Great game, a few features missing

    I love this game, but I'm saving the 5th star for a future update that adds (1) ability to add multiple numbers to a square by dragging finger/pencil around the number pad and (2) either single-square solution button or showing ALL errors immediately instead of only once a block has been completed. As it is, the only way to get the puzzle to solve a square for you is an extremely inefficient trial & error: guess - menu - check - undo if wrong - repeat.

  • A fun mental challenge

    This app is a very clean, easy to use way to play Kakuro. The notes feature, and hints are helpful, and the ability to zoom is nice for larger puzzles.
  • Best Kakuro app I’ve found.

    I love the ease of play, the way the number combinations are easily accessible, the backup function, and the playing options that I can turn on or off according to whether I like them or not.
  • Keeps the mind sharp

    Fun for those who like to work with numbers.

    I’m an engineer. I can’t cook, do artwork, or play the piano but I do love to crunch numbers. I make no apologies, that’s just who I am. Save yourself it’s too late for me. :)
  • Mistakes

    I am finding several of the hardest boards with mistakes that read as “0” errors and make the puzzle not solvable.

    Update: Restarting the app fixes the bug. It is annoying, but nevertheless, I am changing review to 5-star.
