### 5/5 — Schlicht und gut!

Einfach und gut, für mich mit die beste Sudoku-App. Für jeden ist ein Rätsel dabei und auch schwer genug. Kleine Hilfe (Zeilenmarkierer) gibt es auch, wer es braucht …

### 5/5 — Capture Photo crashes the app

*2025-12-28*

Seit iOS 26 stürzt die App ab, sobald man versucht mit „capture“ ein Foto zu machen

### 4/5 — Camera no longer works

*2025-12-10*

Loved this App for years. I used the Camera function to capture Sudoku’s from various magazines and then played them at a more convenient time. That was until the IOS 26.1 upgrade. Since then the Camera function no longer works. Waited patiently for the developers of this App to create an update but so far this hasn’t happened. I noticed though that the Light version’s Camera function still works. So, developers, can you update please?

### 4/5 — Sudoku
