おすすめ

### 4/5 — 追加機能のお願い。

*2021-05-25, version 2.5.3*

お世話になっております。
使用して思うのですが、マス内の番号を選択した時、マス内の同じ数字全てが黄色に変わりますが、候補として書いておいた小さな数字は変わりません。
この小さな数字が重要で同じ様に変色して欲しいと思います。
よろしくお願いします。

### 3/5 — 凄く楽しくさせてもらってます。

*2021-01-31, version 2.5.3*

easyのNo.12がどうしても解けないのですが
もしかして問題が間違ってるとかありますか？

### 4/5 — 最新版アップデート

*2020-02-09, version 2.3.1*

今まではitunesで音楽を流しながら解けたのに、
IOS13に対応した最新版にアップデートをしたところ、音楽流しながらこのアプリを開くと音楽が切れてしまう。
ここだけが非常に残念。できれば直していただきたい。

### 2/5 — 石原さとみ

*2019-04-13, version 2.1.0*

何回やっても解けないものがある。
スクショして2度すると数字が違くても枠が黒くなる、なぜ、、

### 5/5 — 最高！

*2018-11-27, version 2.1.0*

ついつい夢中になってしまうぐらい、やりこ
んでしまう。通勤時の暇つぶしに最高です。

### 1/5 — Undo機能がダメ

*2018-10-15, version 2.0.0*

一度数字を入力するとその列のメモからその数字が消えるが、Undoでメモのところまで戻してくれないのが非常に厳しく感じる。

### 5/5 — ナンプレの効果

*2018-09-25, version 2.0.0*

頭の体操に最適。短い時間に充分楽しめる。

### 3/5 — 内容は問題ない

*2017-12-12, version 1.5*

無料なので広告が表示されること自体は気にしていないが、クリアした瞬間に急に大音量の広告が流れ出すのは迷惑。広告を予測出来たり選んだりは不可能なのだから、そのくらいのことは考えて欲しい。

### 3/5 — 解けない問題

*2017-10-22, version 1.3*

mediumの11がどうしても解けないんですが。私がつまづいてるだけ？？それ以降のmediumは今のところそんなに難しくないんですか。何回しても9と5が最後ダブってくる。
