I was just looking for a game I could use my Apple Pencil with and this does the job. Puzzles are solvable (I promise) and it does a decent job of recognizing what numbers I’m writing (except for 9s, I usually have to try a couple of times). It does tend to highlight irrelevant numbers occasionally when I’m highlighting a different number though.
Easy mode is not easy

I’m no master player but I have completed many sudoko books and I cannot solve a single puzzle on here.
Just what I was looking for!
