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. ### 3/5 — Not perfect *2024-09-29, version 5.0* Doesn’t confirm correct solution or indeed incorrect solution ### 2/5 — Poor import *2023-11-15, version 5.0* Cannot delete a number in a cell that should be empty. Poor UI ### 3/5 — Notes *2023-10-11, version 5.0* Simple system which would be better if notes could be used. ### 1/5 — Needs a lot of work *2023-04-11, version 5.0* Scanning from photo library from another app is poor. Number selection UI is poor. No solving tools (highlight rows, columns, see available numbers that work). ### 4/5 — How do you get hints? *2023-02-24, version 5.0* Is the solve one square the hint feature or is it something different ? ### 1/5 — Lack of in game support *2023-02-03, version 5.0* Can’t erase, input notes, get hints ### 1/5 — I recommend to not download *2023-01-19, version 5.0* So bad doesn't help ### 1/5 — Can’t clear *2023-01-11, version 5.0* Can’t clear a cell that mistakenly has a number placed in it. ### 1/5 — What use is it? *2022-12-16, version 5.0* Rubbish . . . Will not tell me next number I need? ### 1/5 — Just doesn't work *2022-05-11, version 5.0* It changes the numbers then solves the incorrect puzzle. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Duplicates not indicated *2026-05-28, version 5.0* The app should indicate when a number is doubled on a line or cell ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-03-05, version 5.0* Keeps giving unsolvable even on brand new puzzle ### 1/5 — No hints, only whole puzzle solved *2025-11-16, version 5.0* 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. ### 1/5 — Dynamic Island Problem *2024-10-15, version 5.0* I can’t believe the developers didn’t catch this. The instructions (at least I presume they are instructions. I can’t really see what they are) that this app gives are LITERALLY right underneath the iOS Dynamic Island on my iPhone 15 Pro Max, and I presume it would be the same for all other phones that have that feature. With that being the case, the text is useless which makes the app moderately useless as well. Good thing the ads do not get interfered with by the Dynamic Island. 🤨 Bad app design. If they update it, I will take another look. ### 1/5 — Poor as no option to delete a nbr thats wrong *2024-10-09, version 5.0* Poor as no option to delete a nbr thats wrong ### 1/5 — App not functioning *2024-07-12, version 5.0* iPhone 13, current iOS ver. ### 1/5 — Input *2023-11-10, version 5.0* Need a way to input a blank versus a wrong number from the camera scan ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2023-10-12, version 5.0* It’s not that great I payed don’t bother, it’s a very basic solver ### 1/5 — Ads block app *2023-05-04, version 5.0* Ads block app ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-04-14, version 5.0* It says my medium level is “unsolvable” but i’m finding answers on my own but it can’t even solve one ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Perfection *2026-08-30, version 5.0* The Solver has modes of one numeral or all. Very useful. I’ve tried others that make mistakes. This solver is perfection. ### 5/5 — It works *2026-08-16, version 5.0* Easy to enter numbers ### 5/5 — Alberto *2026-08-11, version 5.0* Clear to use the tool. Would like more insight into solutions and be able to walk through the solution by suggestion ### 5/5 — Terrific *2026-01-04, version 5.0* I wish I could see the logical flow chart of computer. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2024-04-25, version 5.0* Easy to use, and you can select a single square for cheating! ### 5/5 — Tried to and it really messed me up thank you *2023-11-23, version 5.0* Try to solve this puzzle puzzle and it really messed me up thank you ### 5/5 — Enjoyment *2023-04-01, version 5.0* I am in my late 70s and still enjoying Solver! It has brought me hours of pleasure and brain stimulation! ### 5/5 — I love it *2022-11-23, version 5.0* It helps a lot when you don’t know what to put down on sudoku’s puzzles ### 5/5 — Sudoku *2022-10-02, version 5.0* I enjoy max...simple and easy. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2022-01-16, version 5.0* Quick and east entry --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
