Formatting on screen is terrible
After enjoying the free games, I bought a set of Samurai sudoku. The formatting is terrible. In portrait mode, there are no numeral sets to select a number, and in landscape, the bottom row is cut off and the advertising is sitting behind the puzzle
Terrible
No way to check endlessly, you have only 3 chances. If you turn on pencil it often gets stuck and you can’t remove it, if you rotate the screen you can’t see the right column, buttons don’t make sense. Awful
Fatal Flaw
The sixteen-by-sixteen puzzles have a fatal flaw. When you try to remove a pencil mark, the program sometimes puts in a firm answer which you cannot then change. At first, these seemed to be “freebie” correct answers, but I just got two sixes forced on me in the same column, same 4x4 square, so that is not it.

Distorted on iPad mini 6th gen
I’ve been using this app for years, on my previous iPads and even my phone without a hitch, should be 5 stars for it. But just got an iPad mini 6th generation and there is some distortion with the pencil numbers and the whole thing doesn’t fit onto the screen properly. Hope it can be fixed
Unable to download
It would be really nice if I was able to download app as I have purchased 10 add ons.
Way too expensive!
The format is good, however, the 16 x 16 sudoku sometimes shows ellipses instead of numbers (has bugs). In addition, these apps typically have a free and premium version, which contains all the available sudoku. This app however, is super expensive at $3 for one pack, and there are dozens of packs, which means to purchase them all you would have to spend a ridiculous amount of money. Considering the fact that this is not a productivity app for editing for example, and is instead only an app for enjoyment and leisure, this is far too big of an investment. Not worth it.

Lost $6
I paid for puzzle 6 7 and 8 of the 16x16 but they were never downloaded.
Don’t bother
I really enjoyed this game until they introduced ads a couple days ago. It would be annoying if they played normally, but they pop up on the middle of your game, while your timer is still going! If you swipe it back down, it comes back, and even if you watch the whole thing, it comes back anyway. It’s also only 1 ad, so if I hear the name “William Defoe” one more time I’m going to scream! Unfortunately, I’m done with this game.

Great! Needs fixing...
I absolutely love this app! Unfortunately every so often I am unable to enter more numbers (in pen or pencil). I then have to restart the sudoku but hate losing my progress. If this gets fixed then this is a definite 5 star app!
Too many bugs
Some cells don’t allow for any input (bug), which makes it impossible to work with.
SOS alarm ?!?
So many of the problems I listed below have been fixed and it is more pleasant to play.
There is, however, a HUGE PROBLEM!!!!!
Since updating to iOS 11.0.? the new SOS alarm goes off after playing this game for about 10 minutes. I have no clue what triggers the alarm except simply playing this game.
Seriously! I’m not making this up. I really thought a fire alarm had gone off in my house.
***********
First of all, the email button has something else imbedded besides an email address of any kind.
This app crashes nearly every time a puzzle is completed and I choose another menu item.
The 'undo' button does not work most of the time.
The correction feature rolls back entries too far.
Exiting the app does not pause the clock. Must remove app from memory to stop the clock.
Exiting then restarting the app changes entries and settings. Not sure if it is a correction, or just random changes. Re-entering correct answers adds to the time it takes to complete the puzzle and distorts stats.
Sometimes in the menu, the puzzle shows 'in progress' even when it was successfully completed. The puzzle then has reset most of what was previously entered.
These problems happen in both the 16x16 Sudoku and the Samurai Sudoku.
Perhaps hiring a competent Beta-tester would prevent these kinds of errors. Very sloppy implementation of a great game. 😠

Terrible
App crashes constantly and does not save game progress. I'm really glad I did not pay for any of the puzzle packs before I tried it. I would give zero stars if that were an option.
Has great promise
I don't typically give such a high rating to an app that isn't quite finished but this app has truly great promise. The entry system is excellent, the variety of puzzles is good and the generation of free 9x9s is generous. I encourage the author to work on stability. This could be a truly exciting version once complete!

wow this is beautiful
I myself am a Self-proclaimed Sudoku God, however, this app inspired me to even test my own power in the sudoku realm! As the wise Mahatma Ghandi would say, this sudoko is super hard! But that's exactly what the app advertised 10/10 for effort and for challenging my inner Japanese, if carry on with this app I should be as famous as poor old Harambe but not for being shot but for my sudoko skills! I would recommend this to anyone who likes a challenge and who likes SUDOKU!!!!!! - the sudoku God, master, prophecy

Best sudoku app on iOS
Really enjoyed app. It's the closest I have found to using pen and paper.
Nope
Buttons don't work, crashed game, lost my progress. I don't need that kind of stress.
I agree with much of the post 'deleting now'.
I agree with much of the post 'deleting now'. There are lots of bugs that need to be dealt with. I just finished a samurai game, but it still shows it is not completed - goes back to the start. Very frustrating.
Deleting now!
Game jams up when you use the back arrow or check moves button, then craps itself and closes. When you open the same puzzle again it's reverted way back to the start with all the filled-in numbers gone and all the pencil marks that were eliminated back. Irritating and a waste of time. Deleting right after posting this review
