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.

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.

Only get 50 free puzzles

I used to play this game a lot and it was a fun way to pass time, decided to start playing it again. Only to realize you only get 50 free puzzles which is annoying so I will be deleting the app and looking for a different one.

I really enjoy this game

Nice quick brain teasers.

Great game

The puzzles are fun and challenging with a wide range of challenge levels. Their service, when needed, is excellent and prompt. I highly recommend it.

Great brain work

Challenging and addicting.

I’m so happy this is back

Kenken is so much better than normal sudoku. I was devastated when my new phone iOS wouldn’t support it.

KENKEN

This game helped me a lot in math and is also very calming!

Best game ever

Perfect game for all the long car trips help me calm down and makes a great thing to do instead of video games. No suggestions except make more 9x9 puzzles

Love the game so much can’t think of any other game that’s better
