What's New in Apparent Sudoku

2.1

July 18, 2026

This update brings more daily puzzles, a few new ways to play, and your game kept in sync across your devices. Your game, on every device Start a puzzle on your iPhone and pick it up on your iPad, right where you left off. Your current game stays in sync over iCloud. More daily puzzles Alongside The Daily, there's now a quick Daily Mini, a diagonal Daily X, and The Twist — the day's board replayed under a changing rule. One shared puzzle a day, each with its own leaderboard. New ways to play Choose a challenge from the difficulty menu: Hardcore hides pencil notes, 3 Strikes ends after three wrong entries, and Zen tucks the timer away. Your Dailies always stay standard, so times stay fair. Board styles (Sudoku Pro) Play with shapes, fruit, or Wordoku letters in place of numbers. Wordoku hides a nine-letter word in every puzzle. Hands-free Ask Siri or use Shortcuts to open the day's puzzle, or find it in Spotlight. A clearer board On iPad, the grid now leads the layout in both portrait and landscape. Pencil notes are easier to read, the winning screen and daily prompt have been refreshed, and VoiceOver narrates every move. Thank you for playing.

Does what i want it to

I was just looking for a game I could use my Apple Pencil with and this does the job. Puzzles are solvable (I promise) and it does a decent job of recognizing what numbers I’m writing (except for 9s, I usually have to try a couple of times). It does tend to highlight irrelevant numbers occasionally when I’m highlighting a different number though.
