## What is CageMath?

CageMath combines a Sudoku-style puzzle game with math symbols.  Just like Sudoku, place numbers into the grid, where each number can only appear once in a column or a row.  A CageMath grid is also sectioned into heavy-outlined "cages" that each have a smaller "cage-answer" and "cage-operator" in the corner.  The numbers within that cage have to equal the cage-answer using the cage-operator.  Some examples:

√ 49   (What's the square root of 49?)
6-       (Which two numbers can you subtract to give you 6?)
896x   (Which 4 numbers can you multiply to result in 896?)

CageMath is the only math-infused Sudoku game that tests your addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and square root skills!

Features include:

- UNLIMITED, UNIQUE games at various different grid sizes
- Lifeline/hint button to reveal answers when you're stuck
- Highlighter/note feature to support noting multiple numbers in one square
- Game clock

Note: Optimized for iPhone 5, 5s, 6s, 6 Plus, 6s Plus, iPad, iPad Retina, iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad Air 2, iPad Retina, iPad 2 and all newer devices.

### 1/5 — Adds are out of control

*2025-03-02, version 5.0.1*

After several years, I got a reply from the app developer. 
I thought I would download the game and see if it was any better. 
Now there is a long drawn add after each play, definitely not worth the aggregation. 
Game will be deleted again.

### 5/5 — Latest update 👌

*2022-01-23*

I’m hooked again!

### 1/5 — No longer playable after update

*2020-08-11, version 3.3.3*

I used to enjoy this game and avoided updating it for a long time.  My stupid iPad updated it today and now it it entirely unplayable.  There are ads overlapping the puzzles, headers overlapping headers, and no number pad or keyboard or any way to actually put a number in a box.

### 3/5 — Annoying Bug!

*2019-05-16, version 3.3.3*

If you exit the game or switch to another app in the middle of solving a puzzle, all the numbers will disappear and you cannot play that puzzle anymore!
The only solution is to delete the app and reinstall it which will result losing all the records.

### 1/5 — Ads cover the numbers

*2019-03-09, version 3.3.3*

Ads cover the numbers,so you can’t even play the game

### 2/5 — Bugs in game

*2018-12-14*

Game is good but it bugs out. Doesn’t load new game when you win. Sometimes loses the numbers for the calculation you need to complete.

### 1/5 — It’s a dud

*2018-08-30, version 3.3.2*

If I switch to a different screen on my phone, on returning to this app, all the clues disappear. I can’t use logic with no clues.

### 1/5 — ZERO STARS - Is now unplayable!!!

*2018-08-15, version 3.3.2*

If you exit mid-game for whatever reason, all the numbers you have to solve for disappear. No possible way of solving the puzzle!

### 3/5 — Not too bad

*2018-07-26, version 3.3.2*

A fun app but the puzzles are way too easy and there have been puzzles with two solutions!

### 2/5 — A little off.

*2018-07-22, version 3.3.2*

Most of the 7x7 puzzles are flawed in that there are multiple solutions (like 2 rows have 4 and 7 in reversible positions) if you fill it in different than they expect, it is actually still correct, but marked incorrect... not a big deal, you know this before ‘picking’ one of the solutions, so you have to swap them to ‘finish’ the puzzle.
