The Best

In my opinion the is the best sudoku app out there. I wish the creators would update it because I can’t get it on my iPhone which is newer than the iPad I play it on.

Can’t add new puzzles with latest iOS update

I love this app, but it now kicks you out of the app when trying to add a new puzzle. This started happening after the latest iOS upgrade. I would have rated it 5 stars if not for this bug.

Sudoku X4U

I love this sudoku app. It not only has great graphics and interface but it also has jigsaw and X sudokus. Difficulty levels are from very easy to very hard but they all have a unique solution. No guessing necessary. My only problem has been that when prompted to write a review it can’t access the App Store. By the way it comes with a small set of free samples but I could buy an unlimited number of sudokus for $2.99.
