Sudoku Resolv is yet another Sodoku game for the iPhone. But this is very different from any other Sudoku games in the App Store -- you can't play it! With this utility, you can take a picture of a Sudoku puzzle that is on a piece of paper, open an existing image from the Photo Album, or even from the iPhone Clipboard that you have Copied while surfing the web, the App can recognize the puzzle and extract existing hints off the photo, then proceed to solve it. Because the OCR sometimes can guess wrong, you will have a chance to correct wrong guesses before solving.
Squoku
Read full descriptionHide full description
A finished Sudoku is a small victory. Scan a printed 9×9 puzzle or import a photo without retyping the clues. Squoku checks it on your device and opens the original board, ready for your next move. Keep the satisfaction of solving it yourself. Open a photo or a puzzle from History, then choose Play or Solution. Play and hints during play require Squoku Pro. Need a clean result? Open a completed newspaper-style board, copy the solution image, or share it with the clearest saved scan through the system share sheet. Local History keeps solved puzzles ready when you want them again. Two solution reveals are included. After that, reveal one confirmed puzzle with a small one-time purchase or buy Squoku Pro to solve new puzzles forever. There is no subscription. Camera recognition, solving, History, and image generation happen on your device. Squoku requires no account and uploads no puzzle or camera content.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sudoku Resolv at none against Squoku's 2. Squoku's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 91 months) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
