I love this game! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2020-11-28* I have downloaded Real Kakuro,Soduko and Hitori finding the puzzles to be quite challenging even the easy ones. Hitori is easy to use and the design is pretty too! Hitori and all the “real”apps are truly worthy of 5 stars! ### 5/5 — Minimal ads *2020-07-17, version 1.2* Thanks for the minimal ads and simple game interface ### 5/5 — Beautiful! *2020-01-09* This didn’t have to be so artistically done, but it WAS! And it is beautiful! The puzzles are perfect little gems of Hitori challenges. Couldn’t be happier. ### 5/5 — Love the Challenge *2019-12-10, version 1.2* Once I understood the rules the game was great. Love the challenge. I recommend this for everyone. ### 4/5 — Real hitori -real fun *2019-05-12, version 1.2* Fun to learn and play ### 5/5 — Love It! *2019-04-04* I have not had any glitches and enjoy playing this. I find it very relaxing. ### 3/5 — Am I the only one... *2019-03-27* Who needs a back-up button? Also there needs to be a check solution. I obviously have something wrong if I get to the end and nothing happens. ### 5/5 — Best hitori app *2019-01-19, version 1.2* This is by far the best hitori app out there. Gameplay is smooth and the colours are clear. Please please more levels! ### 5/5 — Challenging at First *2019-01-10, version 1.2* This game has a steep learning curve but once you get the idea of how to solve the puzzles it is very entertaining and enjoyable. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Politics *2022-10-22, version 1.2* We play games to escape, not to be spammed with propaganda & the fracture of our country. Guilting & shaming women over & over & over will inevitably get you and your apps boycotted & cancelled. Women are at least half of your customers. ### 1/5 — Error in Hard 2 *2020-10-13, version 1.2* There is an error in this puzzle. If you follow the rules one of the numbers is completely isolated ### 1/5 — Ads while doing puzzles! *2018-04-18* I cannot tell you how much I enjoy figuring out moves several steps ahead while doing the more difficult puzzles and being released from my mental purgatory with the incredible ads! I say, make the ads more frequent. One minute breaks of puzzling in the middle of ads is too long. Heck, just make it all ads so I never have to use precious brain power to solve puzzles. ### 2/5 — Adds steal my time *2026-06-16* I actually love this game and gave it 5 starts, but now when I select a difficulty an advertisement starts, that has a countdown timer. You have to watch about 17 seconds of the add and then once you start your game the timer already started 17 seconds ago. I like to try and beat my times and this is not helping with that goal. ### 2/5 — No way to stop ads *2023-11-26* Liked this app but there’s no option to skip long ads between games. Would have paid to turn the off. ### 2/5 — Flawed *2020-01-20* I'm a fan of Deucher's "Real" apps and love Real Sudoku. This app has a similar feel, but has two unfortunate flaws causing me to uninstall it from my iPhone 6S. First, there is no paid version to get rid of the advertisements. The ads are displayed not just when finishing a game, but during the game. Second, the app consumes an unacceptable amount of power. When playing the game, my phone gets plenty warm. And in looking at the battery consumption per app for a day, Real Hitori consumed 73% of the juice. I had to connect the phone to a charger twice during the day to address the battery power dropping below 20%. Real Kakuro does not consume power like this. I suspect the problem is from displaying all those advertisements. ### 3/5 — Fun *2024-02-13* I really like this puzzle. I would have given it more stars but, It could use an option to check your progress. There is no way to try different combinations without having to start all over if you get off track. ### 3/5 — Medium level game 3 *2022-09-07, version 1.2* Has two 6’s in the same column but no good 6 ### 3/5 — ads *2021-09-22, version 1.2* Fun games. Ads make it a 3 star instead of 5. ### 3/5 — Great puzzle- wish they have undo button *2019-12-29, version 1.2* Great game, thank you! Wish you could add an undo button, otherwise solving the harder levels require you to have an incredible memory or use drugs haha ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-05-19, version 1.2* Once you get it you get it. The levels ave rated well. Wish I could get rid of the adds. ### 5/5 — H *2026-01-20, version 1.2* Muy divertido puedes quedarte un buen rato pensando ### 5/5 — Real pleasure! *2025-12-19, version 1.2* I like your app sooo much. Interesting and fascinating game for Japanese puzzle lovers. I want to emphasise minimal app design. It contains nothing superfluous. ### 5/5 — Loving this game *2024-02-03, version 1.2* Hoping you will add more levels to it. ### 5/5 — Almost perfect *2023-09-04* All that’s missing is an undo button. ### 5/5 — A great find! *2023-07-01, version 1.2* I have been a big fan of Real Kakuro for a long time but only yesterday discovered Real Hitori. I’m only three puzzles in on the Easy level, but I’ve already got the hang of it and am thoroughly enjoying it. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Fantastic puzzle app *2022-08-24* Really impressed with the quality of the puzzles. Would love to see more logic puzzle apps by the developers! ### 5/5 — Quality game *2022-07-18, version 1.2* Fun & intriguing. A new favorite. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2021-12-31, version 1.2* Perfect ### 5/5 — Great app! *2021-08-16, version 1.2* It would be really great to add a “check solution” button, so we could see some mistakes or which numbers aren’t colored yet --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
