Awesome

My preview review stated the colored regions didn't work like the rows and columns ... but that person never played squiggly sudoku (nor Snakes on the Sudoku) because they absolutely do.
Fun but minimal
Pithegreat
Fun concept, but there’s not much to do. Can’t even choose a size of level to play
Excellent mashup game

As a fan of both sudoku and minesweeper, I was intrigued to see this turn up. While rearranging the boxes into random shapes was a great idea and added massive depth to the potential board layouts, once quick solving is understood, it almost becomes a little too simple/easy. I would love to see a variant of this where the numbers and the mines are not related. Once a single mine is located, solving the rest of the puzzle becomes almost trivial.
Actually Fun and Challenging

Decently challenging. Not quickly mastered. Nice mix of sudoku and minesweeper. In fact, I think these puzzles are more like sudoku than minesweeper. The puzzles don't require nearly as much analytical depth as a typical Diabolical sudoku, though you can certainly find yourself chasing a nishio or two around the grid occasionally. And, of course, without pencil marks. Two things to note: the smiley face will give you a fresh puzzle if you don't like the looks of the one you first get. (That wasn't obvious at first.) Also, if you do hit a bomb, it will take you back to the previous difficulty. So, if you blow up a 7x7 puzzle, it will start you over on a 6x6 puzzle. If I could put a couple things on a wish list for the future, my first wish would be for a landscape mode for iPad. Also, I would love to have a setting that required double-tapping. Accidents happen. The game needs a bit of polish in its interface, and maybe a few lines of Help text. But it's better crafted that a lot of similar first-releases. It does occasionally crash or hang, but not often, and, so far, hasn't lost progress in any of these crashes. Download this. It is clever, addicting, and does the same sort of mind-clearing that good sudoku puzzles do while fitting into those times you can't dedicate a clear block of time to a tough sudoku.
Not for the color blind

Lots of pastel colors that blend in together. Not for the color blind
Good game

It combines the two games well, it's challenging enough but also relaxing. The only complaint I have, why I didn't give 5 stars, is that the game freezes often on the victory screen and the game must be forced to restart.
Needs colorblind support
bryanjclark
It’s a really fun puzzle game, but as a colorblind person, I’m unable to play after the first level, because the game doesn’t have a colorblind mode and the colors appear the same to me.
Perfect mashup of two classics!
iMac, therefore i think
Updated review: Thank you for removing the one minor issue I had with Sudoku Sweeper by optimizing it for the iPad Pro 11 inch! Super happy. These two classic puzzles play very well together! This app has simple, clean graphics. I wish there was a way to select the grid (4x4, 5x5, 6x6 etc.) without having to maintain a flawless streak and leveling up to the next grid size. My only real gripe with this app, however, has nothing to do with gameplay. It is the fact that it is not optimized for the iPad Pro 11 inch’s new screen aspect ratio. There are black bars at the top and bottom of the iPad screen that I would rather not see while playing this game. Mr. Biden, if you read this, will you please update this app and optimize it for the iPad Pro 11 inch?
good

Its a good game but would be better if there were levels to play and a hint button.
Great game

There is one feature that I would like to see - an option to mark or draft if we suspect multiple numbers in a given tile. Many other sudoku games offer that.
