Sudoku Extreme: Classic Number 4+

Great with minor nitpicks

This is probably the most feature-packed sudoku I’ve found on iOS with tons of quality-of-life settings like auto-note at the start and highlighting cells with a chosen number/note. Long-press to auto-fill is pretty good, and I just found long-press to select number for single-touch-auto-fills.

The nitpicks I have are technological in nature though. Long-press (and probably even regular press) should allow haptic feedback, probably as a toggle; if I’m playing for speed then I can’t see if a cell is filled from long-pressing because my finger covers the entire cell so vibrating the phone would let me know the long-press activated. I also have an issue with animation blocking the ability to touch immediately.

I’ve found one legit bug though. With animation on, if you fill a cell (definitely with long-press, almost certainly with the normal way) and you cancel the animation super early (e.g. you accidentally slide your finger to the next cell too quickly from a long-press) the triggers of follow-up actions like erasing the number from the necessary notes don’t fire.

I currently can’t think of any other extras I’d like to have in a sudoku game, this one seems to have them all covered!

EDIT: Hello again! Tomorrow's update fixes the bug where canceling the animation wasn't erasing the number from notes. As for your second issue "Long-press (and probably even regular press) should allow haptic feedback", can you please email me at pran@pranapps.com with more info? Sorry, I don't understand the issue so more details will help. Right now, there is already a setting to enable/disable haptic feedback. Is that not working or am I not understanding the issue?

Thank you for the kind feedback! I will look into the animation bug and fix in an update. You can also email me at pran@pranapps.com if you have any other issues or details.

Best sudoku I’ve found..a couple of suggestions

This is the best and cleanest sudoku I’ve tried. Well worth the one-time price. A few suggestions: 1. When I want to de-select all of the highlighted cells to see an un-highlighted board, I’ll click below the number row in the empty area of my pro max screen. However, the touch fields for each number extend so far below the actual number, that I end up accidentally hitting a number and filling in a highlighted cell - sometimes without realizing it - and it ends up messing up my board. 2. I like to play in dark mode. The border around the individual cells are very hard to see because they are almost the same color (or almost as dark) as the cell background color. Please lighten up the individual cell border color a bit. Otherwise when you have a lot of notes in adjacent cells, they all seem to just blend into each other and are hard to distinguish. 3. When you tap a cell that has notes (e.g. 1,4,7), the numbers 1, 4 and 7 at the bottom should be highlighted. Otherwise, good job.

Chose it for the Privacy; stayed for the Customization

Edit: I think the scoring system is broken at a certain point. Still a 5 star game, but until I can see the specific calculations for each of my highest scores, I cannot remove this. I read the scoring template and it holds true up to a certain point, then you’re capped

So many ways to customize this game! Was not expecting this. First app I’ve purchased in a long time. Great job!

I am curious about the scoring system because my friend and I cannot increase our score anymore. It feels like there is a cap.
