What's New in Sudoku Trainer!

2.20.0

October 16, 2026

STEP-BY-STEP HINTS FOR EXPERT AND DIABOLICAL PUZZLES • Hints for 3D Medusa, 3D Medusa (Weak Links) and Hypothesis and Proof now walk you through the logic one step at a time: along the chain, or through what the hint supposes, until you see exactly why a candidate can be removed. Every link they name is one you can check on the board. • Hints use one consistent visual language: a filled candidate is one the hint acts on, an outlined one is part of the explanation. Green outlines mark candidates proved true, red ones candidates proved false. The Help legend explains every marking and the r4c5 cell notation. • Long hint explanations now scroll, and the hint panel stays clear of the home indicator and rounded screen corners. A CONNECTED LEARN COURSE • Learn is now one connected course instead of fifteen separate recipes. A new page, "The Shared Rule," explains the one principle behind locked candidates, pairs, triples, quads and the grid techniques, and every lesson after it says how it builds on that rule. • Every lesson follows the same shape: the rule, where it comes from, how to spot it, why the elimination is valid, then worked examples. • The 3D Medusa and Hypothesis and Proof lessons are rewritten with examples you can step through on the board. • Every pattern in the Locked Candidates, Jellyfish, 3D Medusa and Hypothesis and Proof lessons now has ten practice examples. • Locked Candidates' variations are now called "Locked in a Box" and "Locked in a Row or Column". HINTS AND TRAINING • Hints describe patterns the way the lessons do, e.g. "This row-based Swordfish eliminates 4 candidates". • Fixed hints naming the wrong technique (a triple shown as "Naked Pairs", a naked single called hidden) and hints marking only some of a pattern's removals. • Naked/Hidden Singles practice now covers both kinds, and its Training Mode works again. • Training no longer offers 3D Medusa or Hypothesis and Proof, which can be solved many valid ways. Practice them in By Technique, with step-by-step hints. • Restart in Training takes you back to the training puzzle with its candidates, and New Game and Next Puzzle no longer repeat the puzzle you're on or just finished. • Show Me's pattern is now always blue, so it never blends with the red and green marks on your moves. OTHER FIXES • Fixed text on iPhone and iPad sometimes missing its last line. • Fixed Learn practice examples being cut off on iPad. • Training's buttons now fit on iPhone SE. • New Game → By Technique keeps the fast-forward checkbox in view while you scroll. • Stability improvements.

Suggestions

App seems well thought out.

It could use a menu instead of immediately launching you into a game

Note placement shouldn’t be clicking a title and having to click each note individually. There should be a lock number feature that you can then press a cell (or slide across multiple cells) to place the specific notes.

Otherwise it’s tediousness

I might keep it for the learning aspect but locking coloring being a paywall is a turnoff, especially with such little traffic to the app

Absolutely incredible

Fantastic app for learning Sudoku techniques. UI is great too

The only sudoku app you will ever need.

This was already an incredibly good Sudoku app with all of the features coaching, teaching an auto fill notes that I could want. The only feature that was missing is the ability to color notes to make chains easier to see. I requested a feature and the developer implemented that exact feature within three days. There are now five color options to highlight any notes you have in the cells. Genuinely the best and most perfect and polished sudoku app I have ever used.
