Ratings and Reviews
Greyed numbers
Hello, I like the game, nicely designed, and I like having one puzzle a day to look forward to. 2 things that i would ask to change - 1) the undo button; if I’ve ‘penned’ a number in wrongly and I undo it, then when I undo it doesn’t replace the ‘pencil’ numbers I’d already inserted. 2) if all of one number has been completed that number is greyed out at the bottom - but if, for example, I want to clear out a pencilled number from a square I can’t because it’s greyed out. Otherwise it’s a cute app, thanks!
Developer Response ,
Hi,
This has now been fixed as of version 2.0! When you turn on notes you should be able to remove any number even if it’s filled.
Refreshingly unobtrusive
Exactly what it says on the tin, no ads, no palava, just good clean sudoku.
Downside is you only get one game a day, but the pro version solves that.
Great minimalistic Sudoku app
The app does what it says it does and in a really nice and pleasing to look at way. The use of haptics also really elevates the UX and the lack of ads is very much appreciated.
There are paid tiers but none of these are subscription and I feel they are quite reasonably priced, at least the Plus tier. The Pro tier may have to do a bit more to justify the cost.
Would highly recommend this Sudoku app over the other ad-filled ones in the App Store.
