### 5/5 — Excellent As a free game

*2026-04-23, version 1.6*

Have been searching for a kakuro game and this is the best, no annoying ads, near unlimited number of levels, and a reasonable hint system that explains why a certain numbers are impossible.

I understand why some people would say some of the levels are impossible because the difficulty curve of each level is not linear which I can finish some of them under 5 minutes while some others took me more than 30 minutes due to some of the rows and columns requiring indirect and recursive comparison just to eliminate a number, while the hint system can’t detect errors what the users have made.

Nonetheless, I don’t really have much to complain about for such an ad free and free app that I can play it for ages.

### 5/5 — Beautiful to use and just the right amount of challenging!

*2026-03-01, version 1.6*

I love this app - thank you so much 
I like it because there are no adverts at all and it’s beautifully designed - clean , clear and helpful.
If you want a hint - it doesn’t just tell you a hint - it explains the logical steps leading up to the hint which helps you improve 
My only wish is that it would be possible to undo previous steps - it’s very frustrating if you have worked on a puzzle for a long time and then make one error and can’t undo it - so a facility to undo moves would be greatly appreciated

### 1/5 — Errors

*2025-12-14, version 1.6*

Some puzzles have errors and can’t be solved - really annoying

### 2/5 — Neat idea

*2025-11-10, version 1.6*

Held back by awkward interface.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-10-16, version 1.6*

This is a great game, easy to play, sometimes tricky to solve, although you can get clues, and best of all it’s free with no ads.
It’s like the good old days.

### 5/5 — Fatto bene

*2025-10-09, version 1.6*

Poter scegliere le dimensioni è interessante, un po’ macchinosa la scelta di inserire e disinserire le cifre, ma una volta “sintonizzati” si va via bene

### 4/5 — Perfect -1

*2025-07-07, version 1.6*

Perfect game.  Except one  the font color of the candidate numbers is so light, it's hard to see them when the cell is highlighted.

Two thumbs up !
Great game!

### 5/5 — Endless Spaß

*2025-06-24, version 1.6*

Tolle App, kann genauso bleiben, Danke

### 4/5 — Trying new Kakuro

*2025-05-26, version 1.6*

Kakuro infinite has disappeared so looking for a new Kakuro game  Loved the on the fly generation of puzzles and numerous levels no ads.  That said, I like the intuitive noting in this game but the display is hard to read.  It would be better with more contrast or color options.

### 3/5 — Entering notes is confusing

*2025-03-16, version 1.6*

It really, really suffers from not having a dedicated notes mode like most Kakuro apps. If I have a cell where 7 and 9 are pencilled in and I type 7, it fills the cell with 9. It means each time you want to fill in a square you have to check if there are any notes, and if so you have to delete them. It also means if you mistype a number you have to undo that manually before replacing it with the correct one. It makes it needlessly slow and frustrating to play, which is a shame because it otherwise seems like a great game.
