About this game

Sven's SudokuPad finally lets you play your own Sudoku puzzles in the same app as used by Cracking the Cryptic in their videos. Created by Sven, the same developer who has created and improved the Cracking The Cryptic Sudoku webapp over the past year.

It also includes a few brand new classic Sudokus created by Simon and Mark exclusively for Sven's SudokuPad.

Ratings and reviews

This app is the only reliable way to play custom Sudoku puzzles, which sucks, because it is also very buggy and outdated. It lacks a host of features that the free web version has, some puzzles simply won't load, and seemingly at random it wipes your data. When it's functioning, it's a good app. But until it actually gets an update - which it hasn't in over two years - I would steer clear.

This is the best sudoku app! I love most that I can change the colors to whatever I want, and I've used so many of the features and love them all. The ONLY thing that stops me from giving a 5 star rating is that the fog does not clear in fog of war sudoku. Whatever clues are under the fog will become visible, but the cells stay gray. So it's hard to know if I've cleared any fog unless there are clues underneath, or unless I exit that game and go back in. It's a hassle, and the only drawback.

Good puzzle tools. I wish the default puzzles had a wider range of difficulty. I get it's an app for people who really love sudokus but I think having some easier puzzles would be nice. Also, puzzle builder seems to kick me out of I try to save an invalid puzzle instead of letting me revise it. May be user error though. Edit: bit of a dead horse but I mass updated my apps after my Internet came back and all progress is lost. Lesson learned I guess

What’s new

The long-awaited update that brings in all the new features of the web app I've developed over the last two years! This is the "feature-parity" update you've all been asking about!
