This is the version of Sudoku I play the most. There is another Sudoku game that is better in that it has many more features and a superb teaching feature, however, I still find, out of the dozen or so Sudoku games I've got, that this s the one I pull up first. The only irritant is the lack of a choice to pull up an auto fill of candidates. Instead you have to put them all in by hand which is just tedious. I'm not asking for any hints, just reduce the tedium of filling them in by hand. But despite that this is still the one!

I’ve been playing Finger Arts’ free-version of Sudoku for well over a year now. I love it. I play it multiple times each and every day. The interface is clean. The app offers seven different skins, all nice.When I started playing Finger Arts’ Sudoku 2, they did not offer an ad-free version. It was only because I was showing the app to a friend, that I went to the About screen and saw the Ad-free link for the first time. Finger Arts does a fairly good job of keeping the ads from being too distracting, but I’m glad to have paid for an ad-free version. Only complaint, my stats from the free version did not carry over to the paid version. I had an 843 game streak at the Expert level.

I’ve used this for some years now and it’s a solid Sudoku app. I would like to see a few changes. For one, the scoring system is set to give the highest points to the 9’s, then the 8’s, etc. That makes no sense to me, but I don’t really care so much about the score, so not a deal breaker. Also, it would be nice to have the options to have all the cells filled in with pencil marks, for those times when I would prefer not to spend the first 6 to 8 minutes doing it manually. I also own a more full-featured (paid) Sudoku app, but many of its features are only available on the pc, so this is the one I default to, since it is always close at hand on my iPad.

Rotation lock clears every time the phone is unlocked or the app is background(it seems) because I never clear it and it is clear a lot. It should be persistent. Games will just end in the middle occasionally just locking and unlocking the phone. Not as buggy as the latest version of the free version though. That one just crashes randomly now. Probably when pulling new add content. All that said, still one of the cleanest Sudoku designs out there. I have played quite a few. Still this one is my favorite. Simple, concise, no frills or nonsense. Good layout and user interaction. I just wish it wasn’t so buggy.
