Fun and challenging

I enjoy the many ways this game can be played. I am not sure what other reviewers had reason to be so negative, tho I do notice most are more than a year old.

Good, but no keyboard input

A good sudoku app, but disappointing that with an external keyboard, the numbers don’t map to the numbers. It is probably really easy to implement this, and would be a great addition.

Wonderful app

Wonderful app. I like the following. One, I can choose which sudoku game to play. Two, it gives me the option to choose between a dark or light design.
