Great games but…
It’s annoying having to replay the same puzzles every time I redownload the app. Sometimes I delete it if I’m spending too much time on it and then I lose all progress. Would much rather have access to all the puzzles at once.
Real Excellence!
After watching the YouTube channel for guidance,
I was looking for an app that matched what I saw on the channel as the mobile app I was using was good, but wow…not this good.
These puzzles just keep on giving right to the very end!
The interface (you can quickly get used to it) is very good indeed, allowing you to focus on the puzzle and not get sidetracked with addition & subtraction. As such, I cannot recommend this app highly enough.

Best killer audio app I have found
Great app, hours and hours of curated individual, special puzzles to learn from that get gradually harder with loads of puzzles on the really very hard end of the spectrum.
One of my favourite discoveries which I don’t find with any other killer siding puzzles is the realisation that each puzzle has an angle, a thing it is trying to teach you, a technique or an attitude towards solving the puzzles.
The interface is very well thought out too.

Almost perfect
The puzzle clears itself the moment you finish it so there’s no time to screen shot the solution.
Very Enjoyable
A nice twist on classic Sudoku. I really enjoy the App, the puzzles and the YouTube channel. Lovely. I have spent hours on these wonderful puzzles and they are a bargain all things considered. Thank you CTC and Mr. Carney.
Great series- but timing bug fix needed
Love love love the CTC puzzles, but there seems to be a bug with this one where the timer suddenly jumps up 100’s of minutes! Please fix!
such fun but i need new puzzles
please release more puzzles i completed them all in an obsession and miss playing so much
#90 - “Bloom” by Clover
This puzzle is an absolute work of art.
Is it possible to reset the puzzles to play them again?
Love the app, but can’t find a way to reset it and start over again
The best!
Hands down the best sudoku app I’ve ever used! Easy, intuitive, and fun!!!
Beautiful! And a request...
All of CTC's Sudoku apps have beautiful puzzles and excellent tools. My only request for their Killer (and Sandwich) Sudoku is to include list exclusion (in the given lists of sums) in the undo stack. I will often run aground and need to undo myself back a bit, and I lose my thread of deduction when the lists I've grayed out don't revert. If this is a known challenge for UX (it might appear that nothing happened), I would suggest showing (and flashing?) the sums panel when undoing those exclusions. I give it 5 stars regardless, but knowing how thoughtful they are I thought I would offer this request for future updates!

The perfect sudoku app!
Killer sudoku are IMO the best variant, due tom the sheer variety of logical techniques the setter and solver can explore.
These puzzles are really fantastic. Every one is thoughtfully crafted, each infused with a delightfully unique structure and narrative.
The puzzle interface is simple but effective, with a sophisticated hint system designed to teach new solving techniques.
All in all this app feels like a labor of love. Couldn't recommend it more highly.

Great layout, but some of the puzzles are poorly rated.
Best interface of any killer sudoku app on the market. Big problem, though. The puzzles authored by “Cracking the Cryptic” are much more difficult than puzzles rated similarly by other authors. Since this was developed by CTC, it would seem that they are not good judges of their own puzzles. It leads to random difficulty spikes that are frustrating for players like myself just learning the ropes.

Unusable after last update
Love the puzzles in this app, but after the last update, the app is unusable in landscape mode (iphone 13 pro max). Clues are automatically displayed and when they are, they're just a tall and skinny column that you can't even read. It's a small bug that completely destroys the app's usability.
Like it!
Great sudoku app with many well thought out puzzles. One knock is how battery draining the app seems to be. Maybe chosing to build something this simple on Unity was not the right choice?
What’s an outie?
How about another option under the settings for an explanation of terms. I’ve googled ‘what’s an outie in sudoku’ and nothing comes up.
Beautiful app, not so good puzzles
The app is beautiful, however I don’t like the puzzles so much. Most of them require brute force solving. By that I mean you have to take a guess and keep going until you hit a contradiction, then you guess again.
New puzzle???
Hi. New puzzles? They are all done but no update since June!!! Did I pay for something done???? Thx
Lovely puzzles
Love these hand-crafted puzzles though the hard ones are very hard indeed, at least for me.
Great puzzles, Sometimes hints are not understandable
I enjoy Cracking The Cryptic variations on Sudoku puzzles and spend more time than I’d like to admit playing them.
Sometimes when playing the more difficult puzzles, I look to the hints to get insight as to how to solve them. Many times, the hints are vague and do not help to understand the step. I get that it may be text length limited but if it doesn’t help, why bother.
Keep making these puzzles while trying to help with better hints for solutions.
