New Version just came out!

Love the new version, puzzles are much better.. looks pretty and looks like they made the markers a bit bigger. good to see the dev is listeneing to comments. pity all those comments for the 'old' version are still in the store.. they dont really apply anymore. I love that the keypad doesnt cover the board like on some of the other games (how the heck are you supposed to see the board if the keypad is touching it?? those versions are lame) this is very well thought out. To darkest - game difficulty def gets harder when you change it in options. Did you actualy play the game? LOL

Fixed!!!

I wrote an earlier review panning this app. Now I have to change my tune. It used to be that the puzzles had multiple solutions. Sudoku's are only supposed to have one solution. With the recent updates, the author has fixed this. Great application at a great price. No annoying music. No tedious splash screens. Just a nice clean interface, great annotation system, and some useful tools for solving those tough ones. Only things missing are: 1) A book mode, where you can enter Sudoku's from another source and 2) A command to clear the puzzle so you can restart it if you screw up.

Good App

This application works well and doesn't waste time with unimportant frills. The negative reviews I've read might make sense if the app was priced at something like $20. What do people think they're going to get for $2?

Best $1.99 I've Spent?

Probably. There was this bottle of wine when I was 17, but... another story. This is a clean, smooth working interface; it is challenging and fun. The only way you'll go back to paper games is if your iPhone battery dies and there's no plug around for you to plug back in so you can play so more.

Wonderful Application, Responsive Developer

This one does exactly what it says it will, and the developer has been very responsive to customer feedback and regular with updates. Good show. The one thing I'd change is to have a switch to choose whether single-taps enter answers or pencil marks. Double-tapping to enter answers has been a bit of an adjustment for me. But it works well and I really don't consider this a serious deficiency, just a difference of opinion about how the interface would work best.

Works well, purchased on sale for $.99 - Sept 29, 2007

I reviewed all the Sudoku apps in the store before buying this one. I'm not a Sudoku expert, so the game is challenging enough to kill 20 minutes. It works well and I haven't had any crashes. I think the initial state of the game should include the full 1-9 "pencil marks" for empty cells. For me, determining which numbers are not appropriate for a cell is part of the game play. The "auto-fill' button seems like cheating (it tells you which numbers are possible for each cell). Once it's turned on, turning it off takes away all the "penciled in numbers", even the user-entered ones. During auto-fill use, user changes to the worksheet ("pencil") numbers are over written and not kept. Otherwise, a good app.

Good App

The latest update on this app has greatly improved the difficulty level and now offers some genuinely challenging puzzles. I would still like to see some sort of scoring/time keeping element to the app. Different color options would also be nice other than plain white background which strains the eyes. The elements at the bottom take up a lot of space, too, making the board a little smaller and also a little hard on the eyes. These are subtle ares that could be refined, but overall this is a solid 4-star app.

No, 1.1 didn't fix the no solution problem

Downloaded 1.4 and the first 3 puzzles didn't have a solution or the auto pencil was wrong. Worked fine before 1.4. So, back to one star!

Very good (update)

I also wrote an earlier review bagging the app for multiple solutions per puzzle and asymmetrical puzzles, but these issues have been fixed. I agree that having the ability to create your own puzzles would be nice, as well as the ability to clear the screen (but continue with the same puzzle). I also think the hard level should be more challenging, as those only take 8 to 10 min to solve. Since this is turning into a wish list, it would also be nice to have a timer and *maybe* the ability to compare/compete with other users? Just a thought... :) Even without these additional features, this has now become quite a nice Sudoku app.

Great app

I use this every day and it has always worked great. Good features and very clean. I have tried a lot of Sudoku apps and this is the best. Two requests - make start over an option rather than just "new" game, and lose that stupid flashing star you added on the last update. Otherwise great job and keep it up.
