The puzzles are all not complete

a lot of puzzles are not complete you have to use hints
Key features missing

This is a nice looking app with great potential, but with a fatal flaw The lack of an undo button with a touch-screen interface means that you can get half-way through a diabolical puzzle and lose your pencilmarks to a missed touch. If that was fixed, this would be one of the best Sudoku apps out there, but as it stands I can't recommend downloading it.
Good teaching app + good solver

I've played a few Sudoku apps on the iPhone, but this one's my favorite. Here's why: 1. It's got a nice, simple uncluttered interface, yet still has all the things you'd expect it to do, like auto or manual pencil marks. 2. The teaching mode is actually pretty helpful and has taught me a few tricks I wouldn't have otherwise known. The gimmick of the college course outline is a little too cute, but that doesn't get in the way of the actual teaching mode. 3. It's got a solver, so I can put in a puzzle from the paper or a book and get hints on it if I want. 4. The best feature. The price! (can't beat free)
GREAT APP

What a good app Sudoku 101 is! The interface is clean and clear and the instructions are superb. I learned to play the puzzle on this app, loved it, so downloaded several of the top rated. Still, it is this app I return to time and again. I intend to buy their paid version. So many free versions of an app seem to be nothing more than an ad for the paid version. Not Sudoku 101. While some app developers omit key options in a free version hoping to sell their other app, leaving the user feeling frustrated, this developer does not. Instead, enticement comes from the user's desire for harder puzzels after learning and solving those in this app. If you are new to Sudoku, get this app. If you already play & want more instruction, get this app. All these puzzles are solvable and fun. This is a GENEROUS free version and I appreciate the positive ethics and motives of this developer. Had I paid for this app, I would not feel cheated. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Bug report
GigaDad
The only thing I don't like is you can enter any numbers you want in any puzzle, whether they are right or wrong, after you have filled in the entire puzzle with numbers you get a message congratulating you for having solved it.
Flawed -- allows mistakes to end a game
Cloudster
Try this -- If you are two squares away from completing a puzzle, reverse your answers. This invalidates the rows and columns that those particular answers are in, yet the game still says that you've completed the game. I've duplicated this in both easy and medium difficulty in the free version. I do like the interface and quick startup, but this problem really bugs me.
Nice idea

Nice idea, but probably the worst user interface for sudoku that I've ever used. Work on usability and this could be much better.
