### 5/5 — Very Helpful in solving puzzles faster

*2021-05-24*

This Sudoku puzzle creation enables a much faster process in figuring out a hard to very hard puzzle versus having to separately write on paper.  I had a super-hard puzzle from The Week magazine that I know through the manual method would have taken an hour to solve.  I solved the puzzle in half the time as it’s much easier to visually see all the possible numbers as well as patterns that helped me eliminate numbers within a row, column or box!

**Developer response:** Thank you for playing this Sudoku puzzle creation.
I'm the Japanese who made this app.
I also like the Sudoku puzzle and made this game to play efficiently.
I'm very happy that you enjoyed it in the same way.
Please continue to enjoy this app :)

### 4/5 — New feature

*2020-12-11*

You should add ability to highlight all of pencil mark number when that number is selected. For example if I select no. 1, now all off numer 1 are highlighted but not pencil marks of numer 1 in all fields that I have possible 1s.

Beside that, great app
All the best from Serbia

**Developer response:** Thank you for using the app and for your great suggestion! This feature has been implemented -  when you select a number, the same number in pencil marks is now highlighted too. Sorry for the late reply, and I hope you keep enjoying the app. All the best!

### 4/5 — Glad I found this

*2020-08-02*

So glad that I found this app. I use this to compete with my friend. Before we have to solve the sudoku on paper. Now it’s much more easier to do it on phone, save pencil and paper haha.

I have a suggestion for the next update is that there is a feature to highlight all the same number in all cells, even in the notes, when you select a number. Right now it doesn’t highlight the number in notes.

Kudos to the team. Thanks!

**Developer response:** Thank you for playing this app. I'm very happy.
I will improve this app based on your suggestions.
Please recommend this app to your friends.
See you soon.

well... I'm glad you saved your paper and pencil :)
