Great Game

Really nice game

Bigger number buttons please

Love Cracking The Cryptic. Watch the channel daily and have other apps.

Enjoy Chess Sudoko App BUT one issue. The most important buttons are the number buttons, and they are smallest and hardest to use. Please can you consider the CX; increasing their size and reducing the large buttons for less frequently used functions.

I have an iPhone 13, reasonably large screen but keep hitting the wrong number.

Thanks

Chess soduku make less sense, queen moves especially

I am a chess player so I expected chess soduku to make sense. Queen move ones though clearly have some additional rule. It says no duplicates on the diagonals, but it’s only some diagonals and not the others. For instance in puzzle 2, the 1s x out all the spots in row 5. In puzzle 1, it starts with two fours across the long upper left to lower right diagonal. Huh?!

One of their weaker apps

I love the “cracking the cryptic” various apps (and their YouTube channel is brilliant if you haven’t tried it) but honestly this is one of the weaker of their apps. The puzzles don’t offer much variety compared to eg their “miracle sudoku” app, or their new all-in-one app. The difficulty ratings for the puzzles are also a bit odd/wrong with many of the “difficult” queen move puzzles being easier than the “easy” ones for example. Unless you already have all their other apps and are desperate for more sudoku content, I’d get one of their other two apps mentioned above instead

Very nice sudokus, but high power consumption

Great solves, very much worth the money.
I would love the app to be more power optimized. It uses more battery than apps streaming high resolution videos with sound (iPhone 13, 19% in 1h 13min). There has to be potential to minimize that!

Queen's Move

I love Knight's move sudukos. Can't get enough of them. Just started the queen's move section, however, and in the first puzzle there are two given fours on a diagonal from each other. Unless I'm missing something, this seems. Strange.

More puzzles?

I love this app!! The chess move limitations add such interesting new patterns and techniques. However, I’ve finished all the knight move puzzles multiple times and am getting bored of them! I’d love to see another update with more puzzles.

Amazing!

Love all the CTC apps so far, and I’m enjoying the different types of puzzles they offer as well as the amazingly constructed puzzles in each.

More puzzles please

Love this app but no new puzzles were added for a very loong time

Multiple solutions

Puzzles number 30
In the knight sudoku has 2 solutions.

App is okay but it gets boring

The app is okay, but there’s nothing to do after finishing all the puzzles. We need the new ones!

Amazing sudoku app

I really enjoy all the puzzles available in this app. The difficulty increases steadily and i love that i can customize the grid to not give me any help (like highlighting same numbers, or telling me the number i entered is wrong : these make solving too easy and are often an obligation in other apps).
Everything you can do like center notations and coloring squares is really so practical i love it! Can’t wait to try all the other apps in this series for more fun handmade puzzles.

Queen’s move errors

Several other reviews have stated it already, but the puzzles don’t seem to follow the queen’s move restrictions very well. One review listed a few and the very first one had multiple contradictions. I love the app but the devs should probably take a look at this.

Great Software and Top Notch Challenge

After discovering CTC from YouTube, its safe to say I knew this app would be worth the price. The mechanics of center and corner notes, coloring, and multiple cell selection makes playing these intricate puzzles so much smoother. Not to brag but the easy puzzles were a breeze, as they should be. The hard ones definitely stumped me multiple times. Some I broke free after a couple hours but others I needed to use the hints which are very helpful. I recommend watching their videos if hesitant on the purchase, but be warned you will be a sudokuholic after!

A must buy!

I would highly recommend this app for anyone who has ever liked sudoku. Personally I was very into sudoku many years ago but admittedly got a tad bit bored of it. These puzzles offer a very fresh and interesting twist on classic sudoku puzzles that has rekindled my interest in sudoku.

Awesome game but Queen Sudoku needs work.

Enjoying both king and knight sudoku, top rating for that, but the first puzzle on Queen puzzle has an error as the game right answer for some entries in puzzle 1 are not correct. Haven’t moved on as there may be more..

Queen sodoku not working?

Is me that does not understand it or is the queen sodoku not working?

There is several numbers coming in the same diagonal, sometimes event within a kings moove!

Great app. Need more puzzles!

It’s been more than 1 month since any puzzle was added. When should we expect new puzzles?

Amazing!

Having done all the puzzles on the Classic Sudoku app, this was my next stop. The chess constraints make these even more fun, and I love how each variation (there are 3) forces you to think slightly differently. I actually found it very frustrating returning to normal sudoku, having loved these so much.

The app itself is great, it’s intuitive design (highlighting, double notation) make the logic clearer. This means the process of solving these puzzles feels more natural and seamless than on any other app (or on paper). You can tell the creators know their stuff.

The clues too are much better than those on other apps, which tend to just give you a number and let you continue. Here, the next stage of the solution is carefully deconstructed, and if you only want to know where to look, it’s easy to stop reading before too much is revealed. Even when you’re being told the answer, you still get the thrill of solving these wonderful puzzles!

Absolutely Awesome Stuff

It’s completely amazing how quickly I found myself picking up the concept. After years of being practically addicted to Sudoku, solving puzzles in my dreams and on every app I could find while awake but I never imagined Sudoku could be this fun! Only the second game I’ve ever spent money on and 100% worth it to support a truly amazing duo. I’m so close to finishing all the puzzles, I’m scared to open the app, I don’t know what I’ll do when I run out of puzzles to solve haha. Can’t wait for more updates, thank you Simon and Mark for this easy to navigate, riveting app that has me waking up in excitement at the prospect of my morning coffee and Knights Sudoku, 100% satisfied customer :)
