## Most critical reviews (8 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Would be good if new puzzles would load

*2012-10-21*

Worked fine for the first few weeks but I have not been able to load new Killer or Jigsaw daily puzzles for more than 2 weeks.  The developer is claiming to have fixed the issue but it has not happened.  Not good enough.

### 2/5 — Better before upgrade

*2012-08-24*

The game play was much better before the recent upgrade.  

Before, I could play, close app, and return to game play.  
Now, closing the app wipes all completed levels.  This forces you to complete all 5 levels before closing the app.  You can switch apps, just don't close it!

The highlighting is a joke.  For example, if I select '2', the app will highlight all cells with '2', but ONLY cells containing a single number '2' - no cells with additional numbers.  The highlighting only shows the cells which contain EXACTLY what you've selected.  

I'd gladly "un-upgrade" if I could.

### 3/5 — Not much better than using paper

*2020-10-09*

I’ve done both regular sudoku and jigsaw sudoku puzzles. With jigsaw sudoku puzzles especially no option to show all the candidates really makes solving the puzzle tedious. The only real advantage I see to using this app over doing the puzzles on paper is the check function.

### 5/5 — These are great!  Well balanced, challenging and smart...

*2021-03-02, version 2.0.3*

These are all really well done and well balanced in challenge.  Not the usual too simple or instead impossible to do.  And their Str8ts creation are my favourites.

There are always enough of whatever I want to play, so very generous.  
Add-free as well, and I find their interface does not get in the way, but simply works well, as opposed to most of these I’ve tried. 

 All people who love these kinds of puzzles should have this app.

### 5/5 — This app is a steal!

*2019-09-21*

This isn’t the fanciest Sudoku app I have, but it is, without a doubt, the best! These are fun puzzles, and there are no annoying ads. Highly recommend. Some day I’ll try the other games too.

A couple of suggestions - 1. Be able to send your current state of the puzzle to Andrew’s Sudoku solver. That could make this a great learning tool. 2. Make it so I quit accidentally changing my final entries to pencil marks when I switch to notes (but am still at a permanent entry). I am getting better at catching myself.

Thanks for a great game!

### 5/5 — Great for Sudoku lovers

*2014-01-18*

If you like Sudoku and want more of a challenge or a different twist, this app is great.  Five apps, four levels, new puzzles every day.  I recommend it.

### 5/5 — Incredible value Brian teasers

*2012-09-02, version 1.8.1*

With 5 daily games at 4 levels, this app must satisfy every puzzle addict. Sudoku players will love Str8ts - just as challenging at higher levels. It really should be in there with Sudoku in newspapers as well as online games. Well done, Andrew & Jeff!

### 5/5 — Excellent brain exercise

*2012-08-19*

Love this app, the variety in the type and difficulty keeps you coming back for more, wether it's a quick 5 minue easy str8 or a level 4 killer souks that could take hours. Brilliant for keeping the brain active. The new highlight feature is a great improvement.
