User reviews

Duplicates not indicated

The app should indicate when a number is doubled on a line or cell

Doesn’t work

Keeps giving unsolvable even on brand new puzzle

Terrific

I wish I could see the logical flow chart of computer.

No hints, only whole puzzle solved

In the pictures, it says you can input a grid and get hints as to possible next moves but I can’t do this. The only option is to choose a square and have it solve that (without it explaining how) or solving the whole thing with no explanation.

No hunt option available

My primary goal was finding an app to help me problem solve with hints and maybe explanations/clues how to narrow it down. I didn’t have a problem with uploading an image or filling in numbers like some others reported. I just couldn’t make use of hints, which makes this useless to me. I don’t want to just have a puzzle solved for me. This particular app just wasn’t for me.
