## What is Squoku?

A finished Sudoku is a small victory. Scan a printed 9×9 puzzle or import a photo without retyping the clues. Squoku checks it on your device and opens the original board, ready for your next move.

Keep the satisfaction of solving it yourself. Open a photo or a puzzle from History, then choose Play or Solution. Play and hints during play require Squoku Pro.

Need a clean result? Open a completed newspaper-style board, copy the solution image, or share it with the clearest saved scan through the system share sheet. Local History keeps solved puzzles ready when you want them again.

Two solution reveals are included. After that, reveal one confirmed puzzle with a small one-time purchase or buy Squoku Pro to solve new puzzles forever. There is no subscription.

Camera recognition, solving, History, and image generation happen on your device. Squoku requires no account and uploads no puzzle or camera content.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 26.10.5 — 2026-10-28

Your Sudoku has more room on iPad. Play and Solution use a larger board, with controls beside it in landscape and below in portrait. History opens full screen, and digits scale with the grid. Play and hints require Pro.

### 26.10.4 — 2026-10-26

History now opens your original Sudoku, with Play and Solution as separate choices. Hints are available only during play with Squoku Pro. Digits added to photographed puzzles are clearer. Improved layouts on larger iPhones.

### 26.10.3 — 2026-10-21

Improved recognition of partially completed paper Sudokus. A single Hint control now shows one digit, preferring empty cells. Saved photos reopen with the complete Sudoku in view.

### 26.10.2 — 2026-10-19

Your next Sudoku may already be in Photos. Import a saved photo or screenshot from Scan, then get a hint, reveal the solution or play it with Pro. Recognition and solving stay on your device.

### 26.10.1 — 2026-10-15

Get back to enjoying your Sudoku. We improved grid alignment and recognition of faint, thin digits in newspaper puzzles.
