### 3/5 — Sudoko

*2026-07-19*

Es fehlen Vorschläge und Löschen alles nach dem ersten Fehler!

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2026-03-05, version 1.4.1*

I have been using this app for quite a while now. It’s never caused me a problem, It works and does what it should. I even add newspaper SudoKoi to the app, works every time. If you love doing SudoKoi puzzles you’ll love this app.

### 5/5 — My favorite sudoku app

*2025-09-28*

Clean, good extreme puzzles, and killer mode. The automated deletion of notes is too helpful in normal sudoku, but I like it for killer sudoku. Snyder notations are a nice touch.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words. The automated deletion of notes can be turned off in the settings. On the main menu tap on the info button in the lower left corner. Kind regards

### 5/5 — Für Sudoku Liebhaber

*2025-08-09*

Das ist wirklich dir beste App für Sudoku-Liebhaber. 

Simpel aufgebaut und per Stifteingabe spielbar. Absolut das was ich gesucht habe. Man kann auch Fotos von einem Rätsel machen und es dann in der App lösen.

Dafür habe ich mir auch sofort die Plus Variante gekauft. Hatte zwar ein Problem, aber der Support hat direkt weitergeholfen. 

Perfekt!! ❤️🤩

### 3/5 — really good potential

*2025-04-16, version 1.3.2*

this app is designed really well, just missing settings that other apps have, such as "disable highlighting rows/columns/boxes" or "show errors" which i prefer to play on. i'll probably stick with another app unless this one adds settings so you can pick your preferences

### 5/5 — For every level

*2024-04-18, version 1.3.2*

Takes a few games to adjust, with time you get used to the small  screen and the prompts.

### 5/5 — Best Sudoku app for iPad

*2023-10-10, version 1.3.1*

This is by far the best app I’ve tried. It supports Split View which was how i originally found it. Not to mention there are no ads and it merges sudoku and killer sudoku into one app.

### 4/5 — Would be five stars without other sudoku format

*2023-07-27, version 1.3.1*

Title

### 5/5 — Great Sudoku app

*2023-01-11*

Not much else to be said, I use this on the Mac and it works great. Very responsive developer.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the kind feedback!
Keyboard shortcuts will be fixed in the next update coming shortly. And there will also be an option to show all mistakes immediately.
Glad to hear you enjoy the app. Kind regards

### 5/5 — Excellent version of Sudoku

*2023-01-11, version 1.3.1*

Really like the design of this, be great to have an iPhone version for when I am travelling, and also a pause button, since there are times when I shut my macbook lid, but the timer keeps running and therefore can distort the average times.  But other than that a flawless design and well implemented version
