Great game poor layout
I love this game. Used to play it years ago on paper and delighted to have found it again as an app. I tried several Kakuro apps and this is by far the best for playing, and ads are not too intrusive.
The only thing that lets it down is the layout. I’m playing on a phone so making best use of screen space is important. The puzzle is at the top, plenty of space. Then there is a lot of blue background space, with the number pad plus other controls squeezed into the bottom fifth along with a fairly large Menu key. So the numbers are quite small and fat fingers have difficulty. It would be very much better if the number pad took the full width further up the screen, giving the other controls more space too.
I’m keeping going because otherwise it’s great, but I hope you can do something about this. Thanks.

初級は面白い
面白くて、病みつきになりそう！
Great but not enough puzzles
This was my favorite Nakuru game but it has a limited number of puzzles. After you solve all the free and the paid puzzles your only option it to do the previously solved puzzles over again. They haven’t added any new puzzles.
Good game
Great brain game. My only complaint is that the keyboard is not easy to use, needs a fair bit of pressure, so makes it slow.
Numbers not working
Great game, but the numbers mainly 123 do not work most of the time.
Too easy, extreme done in 2:36 and no big puzzles
Avoid
Great app!
I downloaded dot Kakuro because it reminded me of kropki. Dot Kakuro is fun to play and is one of my favorite number games.
Very easy to use
Much more convenient than by paper and pencil
Kakuro
Love playing this game. Will miss it when the free games are completed!
Yay!!
Exercise mind while passing time.

Give us more
I have really enjoyed this game. Each time I learn some “other”trick or nuance. I would love to see an app devoted to “dot” Kakuro, so there would be more to choose from.
Good job.
Good job.
Not hard enough.
I enjoy the game ,but it is not hard enough.
Creative and fun
Very creative variation of kakuro and a lot of fun. Seems a bit more challenging at start
I love it.
Works very smoothly. So good for keeping sharp with numbers and absolutely addictive. You learn numbers with very limited possibilities quickly and the game speeds up.
Enjoyable, easy to use, a bit stingy
I'd say this game is pretty good. So far I've played Kukuro, and Dot Kukuro which I like because you get to use the type of logic required for Sudoku in a Kukuro puzzle.
I didn't rate it higher because you only get 35 free puzzles. Then each set of 25 puzzles is 99 cents each. Seriously way too expensive. Other apps I've used are much more generous. On the other hand, out of the three I've tried, this one is the easiest to use, has the best design.
This app is worth downloading to play 35 free puzzles. After that, I'd look elsewhere.

Very enjoyable
いいよ
おもしろい。
Really enjoying the dot variation
Update: I was wrong - the puzzles I thought had multiple solutions do in fact have unique solutions! While taking into account the rule that cells with a dot between them would differ by exactly 1, I missed the second rule that cells without a dot would differ by more than 1 - always. Apologies to the developers on my earlier review! Upgrading to 5 stars.
Leaving in my original review since it emphasized that puzzles were enjoyable and challenging even when I thought there was a logic oversight:
The dot variation puzzles have several rule twists that make me stop and think - in a good way. I hope more are programmed!
I agree with another reviewer that several dot puzzles have multiple solutions. I'd half expected they weren't understanding all the rules, but sure enough, there are pairs of numbers at the end for which there is no way to pick the correct numbers using logic. Getting the puzzles to that point was still challenging - almost more so since you never knew until the end if every cell could be solved. Still it would be nice to fix this in a future release, hence the one-star deduction.
There are several free puzzles to enjoy while deciding if it's worth buying additional sets.

Mixed
Needs more free content, particularly the dot Kakuro as it seems very hard. Need more time to get to be able to solve them readily. Ordinary Kakuro is too easy on this.
Not quite ready
This app shows promise for being a good game, particularly the dot Kakuro, which is a nice twist. However, several of the sample games have multiple correct solutions rather than having one unique solution. This is frustrating because the solution you have chosen, even though correct, may be flagged as incorrect if it is not the solution the developers have chosen.
