### 4/5 — Review is

*2015-06-22*

Works great. Allows you to put in your own number notes or will auto fill them. Some of the easy ones still take me awhile to solve. Easy to use.

### 5/5 — Best Sudoku Anywhere

*2014-05-20*

This is the best Sudoku game anywhere. Game play is natural. Pencil marks, error indicators and hints are completely controllable so I can solve each puzzle in my own style. I learned Sudoku with this app and I love it!
Update: still the best!
