Ratings and reviews

Hands down the best sudoku app I have found. The tutorial section outlines what techniques are added to each level of increased difficulty, allowing you to learn as you progress. Clean, easy to use interface with plenty of assistance options (or none, if that's your thing). I can't speak for the ads as I purchased the ad removal. 12/10 I reccomend.

Very good app, I would really like it and would upgrade it if indicated the row and column as you touch the grid. I have found one puzzle (Hard standard #224) that has a mistake. It is possible in that puzzle to do only legal moves and still send up in a stalemate of one empty cell and no way to complete the puzzle. I am reducing my rating because of that.

Ive been using this for several years. On the one hand I wish there was a way to show different levels of candidates, perhaps through coloring. On the other hand, that feature would really be nothing more than enabling guessing and backtracking, therefore I'm forcing myself to learn the strategies the experts use. So, 5 stars.

What's new

• Added an option to hide candidates when entering a custom puzzle
• Added a dialog for entering puzzles encoded as 81-digit string
• Removed the extra margin that was used on some devices; go to Settings, Look and feel, to re-enable it if needed
• Updated library dependencies
• Minor bug fixes
