One tiny suggestion

It’s a great game and really stretches your brain in interesting ways.

I would love for the pencil function to be double tap off as well as double tap on so that it’s easier to switch back-and-forth between making notes and final entries.

Great customer service

I was worried I would lose my game credits when I got a new phone, but with a few emails, the good folks migrated them over for me. Thank you!

Easy to Brutal - Always fun

I’ve been playing KenKen for years. With graded difficulties anyone can make this an idle pastime or a brain wracking challenge. It’s great fun and, I’ve found, keeps my ability to reason and do math in my head very sharp.

Very addictive

Very addictive
Love playing it, great brain exercise

Ow

Musa haten it because it’s hard

Not your basic game

A great way to freshen up your basic math and “detective” skills. Each puzzle gives clues to solve it. You can add notes to the puzzles
Oh it’s fun to play.

Thank you

Love this I won many championships because of this game

Too many ads

I like the game, but play two games and you’re stuck in an ad you can’t get out of.

Great game in need of improvements

I’ve played literally 1000s of these so clearly I like it. But there are a couple simple issues that I can’t believe have never been addressed. 1) user is required to scroll through hundreds of options each time to get to hard or expert levels. Should be an easy (and obvious) fix with a filter. 2) you will eventually run out of games and the solution is to uninstall the game, re-install, then restore purchases. Come on devs. It’s 2026. Fix this.

Not good for airplane trips

Paying for puzzles doesn't actually download all the puzzles you bought. Instead, the model is that once a puzzle is completed, another of the same type is "automatically downloaded" (their terminology) to the device, to replace the completed one. This means this app is completely unsuitable for extended offline use, such as on a long airplane trip without WiFi... which is unfortunately exactly why I bought puzzles. Also (less critical): the app does not recognize a keyboard (such as on an iPad), and requires tapping the screen to select numbers even when there's a keyboard available.

Seems perfect

Exactly what I want in a Ken Ken app. I cannot imagine how it could be improved. I use the paid version. Well worth the upgrade price.

KenKen forever

Sudoku is for babies

Absolutely amazing.

Easy to understand, infinite puzzles, and extremely satisfying for the brain. Would most definitely recommend. Coming from a non-brainy teen, this game is so fun.

Could be better

I enjoy the mental exercise, but get frustrated by glitches in the app. I always play 6x6 medium or hard. Why can’t it learn that? Why are there SO SO MANY easy games? I run out of games, despite having bought more. To get more, I have to delete and then reload the app. I lose my personal best times. Very irritating. It’s also too easy to swipe the screen left or right when entering numbers in a hurry. Can’t that be optionally locked?
Room for improvement, chaps!

Fun but flawed

Don’t bother downloading this. You only get 50 puzzles free and after that it will not let you even enter the app until you pay $25. This is why I play on the website, with an adblocker. I don’t want to support your trashy app or website, I just want to play a sudoku ripoff. Is that too much to ask?!

Extracts money forever

You pay by the puzzle, so you have to constantly pay them for more puzzles. This constant extraction of money is not really OK. There is no way to buy a “lifetime” supply of puzzles.

Great app

No glitches, works well

Totally Addictive

A great interface to a great puzzle. It takes me about an hour and half to complete the hardest 9x9, so right in the sweet spot for me.

Math Nerd Nirvana

This app is great for those of us who love playing with numbers and keeping our minds sharp. Prices are reasonable and the tech support is great.

Fun at a good price

This seems to be the best KenKen app out there, and the pricing is fair. I would suggest a few small UI improvements that some other good, non-KenKen, apps out there have, but nothing major. Contact me if you want more details, developer.
