Dude! Update Ur App!

This was my all-time favorite app, but after the most recent update, it is so huge on the screen of my iPad, I canโ€™t even play it. There are no setting options to get it back to how it was. So disappointed.

Crashes

14/2/25
I used this in the past on my iPad (air2) and never had a problem. Put it on iPhone 15 and it constantly crashes when wanting to use hint, save and exit etc. Basically once a game loads from the main menu you have to play it without using hint or anything in the menu. Tried all the usual fixes, restarting ph, uninstalling-reinstalling several times.
Can it be fixed - ๐Ÿค”

GLAD YOU'RE BACKโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ

Great app! Makes a great game greater with lessons on different solution elements on levels from beginner to really, really, really tough! It's a big thing to me to be able to capture a puzzle from a photo or a scan. Love it! Still love it! Iโ€™m back to say itโ€™s still a great app. What I said previously still holds true. One of only two games on my phone, so it has to be tops!
FOLLOWUP: This has everything I like in an app. Still tops!
ANOTHER FOLLOWUP: Still a wonderful game. It's now the only game on my phone! The best!

Joyful Sudoku

I love this version with so much help that helps me learn to solve the puzzle more. And I appreciate your long list of daily puzzles.

Best sudoku app Iโ€™ve ever found

Allows you to tweak it in so many waysโ€”tons of options for play at various levels and totally teaches you as much as you want to learn. Easy to use. The Best.

Unplayable

For over 12 years this was my favorite game. After installing the latest iOS it became unplayable. Emails to the producer went unanswered. Delete and reinstalling had no effect, or made it worse. Iโ€™m really sorry to see this go, but thereโ€™s no point to it now

I really enjoy this app!

This is one app I come back to time after time. I love how simple and intuitive the game is to play. The challenge of different levels works for me, since on days I want to relax I play easier levels and when I want to challenge myself there are always the harder levels.
Sudoku is a game I enjoy while not being gifted at. When I master a new level, that is solve it without using hints at all, I feel a sense of accomplishment. Iโ€™ve even managed the simpler levels without using pencil marks!

Love that it helps me learn

I appreciate the different settings that let you play the way you wish to. I really like the hints that help me learn how to solve the harder puzzles. After a fairly short period, I am getting better at solving them because of the hint that offers the option to learn what to look for.

Game display with IO 18

The game display is now off with the latest apple update. Please fix.

Not playable

Does not fit on iPad screen in landscape or portrait.

Disappointing after new iOS

The revised app has HUGE fonts with nothing in the settings to change them. What was the need to change them?

Ios 18 problem on ipad

Doesnโ€™t work on iPad after update to ios 18. Doesnโ€™t size right.

Great APP

I really enjoy this app. Challenging and rewarding.

Greatest sudoku app

It is by far the best. Very easy to use, easy to learn and to improve your ability.

The nicest, most polite game app I have used.

This works so well and has great options without being obnoxious. I love it. Though now I have probably jinxed it. Oh well, it has been worth it.
I wish he did more great solitaire games.

Could do with a couple of tweaks

Just a couple of ideas. :) May 2017.... Don't like the font sizes on the "end of game, next game" scenario. Don't know why I review as nothing good comes from it!? I think the game should not penalise you for a mistake you immediately correct. Like just now, made a mistake but corrected myself within half a second. Played on then saw I got penalised 8 minutes or something for a mistake I spotted and corrected myself. The game should NOT be so quick showing the mistake and applying the penalty.... A year later and it still penalises you for a mistake you make AND correct less than a second later.... Oh yes! Iโ€™ve played about 50,000 games! Yes! That is fifty thousand!!!!
Itโ€™s now the start of August 2024 and the game still punishes you for a misplacement you correct within a couple of seconds. This is the ONLY bad thing about this App. I have now played over 100K games at โ€œDifficultโ€ levelโ€ฆ. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ‘

So many options

I love that this game has so many options which include auto pencil markings to none at all there are so many other choices. It also has hints that will help you learn strategies. And NO Annoying ads that interrupt the game. (Just a small space that doesnโ€™t interfere). This game is so refreshing.

Resolution/screen layout makes it unplayable

Used this appmfor years - at least 5+. Moved to ipad air 2024 this week, and now can only see a portion of the screen. Unusable.

Buttons not working

I have enjoyed this app for years. But in the lat year when I press hint, it just goes to the icon. Please fix.

Also cannot open settings. Same thing happens.
