Well, it's Sudoku. If you enjoy playing sudoku in a book with a pen then you will enjoy this app, guaranteed. I never experience any glitches or anything like that, it's a solid time killer, very straight forward/user friendly, no strange gameplay modes and the app will not close out an incomplete puzzle without user consent for a considerable time period. The difficulty levels are very well done to the extent that someone's first attempt at solving a Sudoku puzzle would be able to solve it. This fact remains for a seasoned veteran looking for a challenge could find it every time they do a puzzle on "expert" mode. I absolutely love it!!Show lesstravanna0723
Spectacular!!
I had never played Sudoku prior to downloading this app, but now I'm hooked. It's a great little time waster, so thanks for that... I love that you have to pass each level before being allowed to progress to the next, but that you can still go back and play an easier level if (or should that read 'when'?) your brain has a mini meltdown and needs a little R&R. Or is that just me? Yep, probably is.
Anyhoo, the only criticism I have is that the adverts at the bottom of the screen tend to get in the way a bit sometimes. I only have an iPod (hint, hint, Santa) and the tiny little screen doesn't allow a lot of room for error. Consequently, sometimes my stylus accidentally touches an advert and I'm taken off on a journey to new, but sadly not very exciting, websites that I didn't want to go to in the first place. I understand the necessity for advertising, but could we perhaps have it interspersed between games instead of impinging on the playing surface?
Twelve months later and I'm still playing this fabulous game and still loving it! I've been promoted to an iPhone 7Plus so have quite a bit more real estate to play on and I'm absolutely LOVING that.
Keep up the outstanding work, FingerArts!!Show lessConan1957
New Quirks
I've been playing Sudoku for quite a while. (Think pencil and eraser days.) I was delighted to find it on my first tablet even though most note taking was (and still is) pretty awkward. But my Paper and Pencil days were over. Your group has definitely produced the best version.
The reason I'm responding to your review request is to say that I've recently noticed a big change in the game. The design seems to be "We know where we're going ... But you're going to have a heck of a time figuring it out."
My time and error numbers have increased a lot ...with perfect games rare.
It hasn't soured me but it's taken some of the pleasure out.
On the other hand maybe it's just Alzheimer's joining the game! Thanks for the fun.Show lessChefAniB
Love it!
When I first started playing I loved the way it rejected the wrong number straight away. I found it a great app for learning sudoku being slightly dyscalculic or number blind.
I've been playing for a long time now and I still find it challenging. Keeps me interested and coming back for more. Great way to keep your brain working!Show lesspiggibrown
Great game
I have been addicted to this app for years, and it is certainly the best sudoku app that I've ever downloaded. I do not play every level- only hard and occasionally expert, but every puzzle seems to use the same two or three go-to numbers . I can almost always guarantee that the numbers 4 and 6 are going to be the first completed on every single hard level puzzle. It's irritating to be continually playing what seems to be the exact puzzle over and over again with the numbers just moved around in different patterns.
This is not an issue that many reviewers have, and it is extremely minor compared to glitches in the app that others have had. It's just obnoxious. It doesn't stop me from playing constantly though! I just brush it off as my OCD and keep playing.Show lessstine0202
Brilliant
This app is perfect to pass time, and has even taught how to play sudoku. Before this app i never knew how to play,so im thankful for an app that both challenges yet helps a person's mentality 👍Weirdchickalert
Really awesome for a free app.
Update: Most of the issues I had with the UI from before have been resolved. I'm glad that pausing no longer takes away multipliers, too! Still my favorite Sudoku app, and I come back to it often these days. It has made me a better Sudoku player overall haha.
Original review:
For the most part, this is a fabulous sudoku app. I like that the rounds are timed--adds a little more suspense. I also really like that it's connected to GameCenter.
My only problems are with the touch responses and the pause screen. Whenever you pause (either by accident--tapping a blank square too many times prompts the pause screen to show up--or on purpose) takes a multiplier away automatically. I also accidentally tap the ads A LOT, since they're so close to the number row and I have fat finger syndrome. Any time you come back from an ad click-away, you lose another multiplier. Super-aggravating when you're on a roll and you're about to beat your old high score. Combined, these are the only reasons I'm taking away a star.
Other than the minor UI annoyances and how little stupid things cause your multiplier to decrease, this really is a great Sudoku app (even better that it's free!). I don't like using normal Sudoku apps now that I'm so used to racing against the clock!Show lessI'MGONNAWRECKIT!!
Super fun
I'm an over 60 seeking to keep the grey matter from turning to mush. This is doing the trick! I've been playing several times a day and have enjoyed going up level after level. The app highlights the number you're working on making it simple to see where you're at. Great!!Maddmus
Love the different levels
Update from previous version: It is no longer difficult to close the advertisement! Thanks for fixing this! Still enjoying the app!
It's wonderful to have the different levels of play. The easy level is easy...unlike another app I have. Sometimes, I just want to goof off. Other times, I love the challenge. Only one thing that could be better. The advertisement is very close to the toggle icon between Notes and Numbers and when I hit it accidentally, the app closes and starts loading my browser. :(. It takes a while to get back to my game. But overall, I really like this app. Would definitely recommend it!Show lessHopegrace
Honestly
I'm just here to solve puzzles without having to carry around a book, pencil and eraser around with me everywhere. I don't care about "score" how many people really care about keeping score with paper?? And since that's the entirety of the experience I'm looking for I wish to have the option to turn off scoring. There's no compelling reason not to allow one to opt out of this system. None.
And I /really/ can't stand that both the score and the time flashes at you every time it goes down, regardless of turning off the time keeping. Having it there seems like it is more denigrating than anything. I'm sorry I'm not solving this fast enough for you like I might have been able to do at one point.
Honestly it's so annoying I'll probably try other apps instead. Otherwise it's a really good app though.Show lessSylviana Morrigan
