Kakuro Endless 4+

Good for the price but...

This is a nice little app for doing small Kakuro puzzles but there is no variation in size or difficulty. Because of this, having 1000+ puzzles has no meaning as they are all so similar. Would be nice if the were larger puzzles you could scroll around on to get a larger sense of accomplishment. Also, finishing the last puzzle and then hitting “Next Puzzle” crashed my app.

Hey HoveringWeasel, thanks for the feedback! I've just released an update to the app that includes a couple different larger puzzle sizes, and fixed that crasher you pointed out. If you're still interested I'd love if you gave the app another try!

More isn’t always better

The UI is nice and the app is smooth with its controls. But while there are 10,000+ puzzles I am more and more convinced there are only 20 different puzzles. After doing about 200 puzzles it seems like I have just memorized how to do 12 puzzles and every once in a while the app actually makes you think. It also stinks that the app doesn’t remember where you left off and you have to scroll down hundreds of puzzles every time you open the app. It’s ok but not that challenging.

Hey kbickell, thanks for the feedback! The newest update of the app includes new 12x12 and 15x15 puzzles, which I hope will give the puzzles the variety you're looking for. Additionally, I double checked and you were correct, a bug caused some duplicate puzzles to be bundled with the app. The newest update filters all of these out and replaces them with unique puzzles. Lastly, the app now saves your place in the puzzle list, so after reopening the app you shouldn't have to scroll down to get back to your place. If you're still interested I'd love if you gave the app another shot!

Gets the job done I guess

This is indeed an impressive amount of puzzles. However, weird design choices make it difficult to play.

- You can zoom in, but the numbers get blurrier.
- The colors look pretty, but it’s very hard to read tiny light blue letters against a dark blue background when a square is selected.
- You can enter multiple numbers in each square to keep track of options, but you have to know at least two possible numbers for a square for this to work. A single number stays big so you can’t differentiate between a draft number and a final answer.

I’m getting eyestrain and a headache from peering at this app so I will have to move on. Too bad...I was excited about the number of puzzles, no ads, and variety of puzzle sizes.
