*2026-06-23*

1379の左下3段
1752
4231

どこ間違ってるのかなあ

2434
左下の表示数字、22→21の間違いですよね

2511-2520
今回の問題はどれもロジカルで美しくて解いていて楽しかったです。これぞカックロ。おかげでサクサク解けてしまってすぐ終わってしまいましたがｗ

ちなみにマッチ棒クイズはタップしても開けた事がありません。

### 4/5 — Fix the bottom of the screen

*2023-05-22*

I love this app. I love that it's free and I love that they keep adding puzzles.

The only problem I have is that the bottom of the screen, where the "notes" buttons are, is being reclaimed by iOS.  The 1 and 9 are cut off by the rounded edges, the 9 is taken over by a new pop up thing, the 4-5-6 have the new "swipe up to close" bar. It's getting harder and harder to use those.

### 2/5 — Great game, annoying ads

*2021-05-27*

The game is fun and challenging, but the annoying flashing ads at the top of the screen were too distracting, so I’m deleting the app and looking to play it elsewhere.

### 2/5 — Loud and obnoxious ads

*2020-11-05*

I don’t mind when a game has ads; they provide a recurring revenue for the developer.

These ads, however, are exceptionally obnoxious, and play the volume at the highest level. Everyone of them has sound. The “silent“ toggle is reset every time an ad is played. 

The game itself? It’s fine. Hard to tell when every time you play you get blasted.

### 2/5 — Not Kakuro?

*2020-07-08*

This doesn’t have sums for each row and column, and as a result is confusingly arbitrary which numbers you use. I don’t think that’s true Kakuro

### 4/5 — Challenging Kakuro

*2020-01-09*

I love this puzzle because it usually challenges me. Only one draw back is that the numbers are so small. Even with my glasses on, it’s hard to read numbers.

### 3/5 — Timer

*2019-11-11*

Couldn’t figure out how to turn off the timer.

### 4/5 — iOSの外観モード

*2019-10-11*

ダークにすると、見辛くなってしまいます。
その他ゲームの評価は最高です。

### 4/5 — Excellent

*2019-08-25, version 1.68*

Thoroughly enjoy this Kakuro game. Would love to remove ads which appear often noisily between games

### 4/5 — 下書きができるのが良い

*2019-06-25*

問題番号が飛ばせるとさらに良い

### 1/5 — Problem with  2492

*2026-06-21, version 1.237*

I love the game but unless you fix the problem with 2492, I can’t advance!

### 1/5 — Ads every 2 seconds

*2024-01-31*

This game used to be very good, but now there are ads constantly every couple of seconds during the game - makes the game very unplayable. There are even ads for this game during the game - pretty stupid. Good example of greedy developers ruining a game.

### 1/5 — Ads while playing are evil

*2024-01-20*

I loved this game for years.  The ads in between puzzles are not a big deal, but now they’ve added adds in the middle of the game ?  I can’t stand it so I have to delete the app.  It’s not playable.

### 1/5 — Ads!

*2023-10-13*

Please offer a no ads purchase. This is the only issue with the game and the slightly annoying hidden 9 on the mobile version.

### 1/5 — Ridiculous ads

*2023-06-13*

Used to love this app, but with the update I get so many ads in the middle of my game. App deleted. 🤷‍♀️

### 1/5 — Used to be good. Constant ads now

*2023-06-12*

This used to be an excellent Kakuro game. New puzzles are added regularly. Now there are ads every minute and it’s basically unplayable.

### 1/5 — Bad update - ads in the middle of play

*2023-06-10*

These puzzles are timed and the latest update changed the way ads are displayed so they now interrupt play. Previously they would appear between puzzles or other times you were not actively solving a puzzle. After the 4th interruption during a single game I gave up and deleted the App.

### 1/5 — Drop the Game Center bs

*2020-07-24, version 1.89*

Useless.  You can do one puzzle, then you must log in to Game Center.  Piece of crap.

### 1/5 — No fun

*2019-01-24, version 1.53*

You play one game, then have to watch an ad. Over and over. The ads are way too frequent.

### 1/5 — Fine until level 10

*2017-06-22, version 1.21*

Level 10 completed correctly but game will not move on to next level....just freezes. Otherwise good, would be 4/5 stars. Unable to leave feedback without setting up email account and no instructions how to do so.

### 5/5 — Love it but small problem

*2026-05-24*

The new puzzle 2492 is impossible to solve. It requires a sum of 23 in 7 digits but the absolute minimum of 7 digits is 28. Solving the puzzle for a sum of 28 works, it appears to be a typo.

### 5/5 — 継続して問題追加してるのは素晴らしい

*2026-05-23*

楽しく遊んでますが、広告がイラつきます。カットつけてくれたら買います。1000円くらいまでなら買います。
最近の更新で、新しく追加する問題の得点の付け方が変わりましたか？
それまでの問題よりも低得点になりました。普通は難易度高いのでより高得点が出るようにするもんだと思います。

2026年1月追記
更新で問題番号が上二桁しか見れなくなりました。4桁の上二桁では特定の問題にたどり着くのは困難です。
改悪になってしまってるので戻して欲しいです。

2434番の左下の22横列が合計21になります。

2492番、真ん中の横7マスが23になってますが28の間違いです。横7マスでは23は作れません。

### 5/5 — 満足

*2025-11-19*

点数でソートする機能ができたらとても嬉しい

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2025-03-30*

Tried several Kakuro games, and this is the best in my opinion. Been playing it for a few years.  

This version is easy to use. Visually clear.  Well defined buttons. Have found no problems with it. LOVE that you continue to add puzzles!

### 5/5 — Quite fun

*2023-05-05*

Perfect combination of logic and arithmetic. Wish it had a dark mode though, the white background is too harsh sometimes.

### 5/5 — Wakes my mind!

*2021-07-11*

Love this, although it’s addictive!

### 5/5 — Relaxing fun

*2020-03-18*

Great game for keeping the brain sharp. My arithmetic has improved greatly. I don't care how weird the scoring can be or whether I'm timed or not. I can always go back under stats and re-do a puzzle. A few had multiple answers but I don't expect perfection. It was only a few of them. I thought they were endless so I was disappointed to hit the end. Fortunately new puzzles are being created in a timely manner.

### 5/5 — love it, freaking out bc it’s bugging

*2019-10-24*

so I play this at any spare moment everyday, but since the new IOS update I can’t progress through the levels!! i’m sad :( pls fix before I have to find a new app :/

### 5/5 — 大好き!

*2019-08-25*

紙時代から大好きなパズルです。
30年近く前、主人の母と鉛筆と消しゴムを使って紙が擦り切れるまで楽しんでいた時を思い出します。
もっともっと問題を増やしてください

### 5/5 — Fun

*2019-04-04, version 1.58*

Wish they would explain how the game is scored.
