:) Sudoku 4+

I have been using this app on and off for maybe 10 years now. My mom first found it, and I would play it on her tablet, and when I was looking for a good puzzle app for my new phone this was one of the first things I thought of.

The learning/hints in this app are incredible, it’s really made me better at sudoku. There are a variety of hints available, so you can get a gentle nudge in the right direction, a full explanation, or just a random number revealed. It truly meets you at whatever level you want.

It’s not just the best sudoku app, it’s probably the best free app game I’ve ever had. There are no ads that take over your whole screen ever, the only ones that exist are tiny banner ads that show up at the bottom of the menu. They’re not loud and obnoxious, they’re never in a place that you might click accidentally, and half the time they’re for the paid version of the app if you want unlimited games rather than dailies. I might buy that one, not because I desperately need more sudoku (I like being pushed into harder difficulties every day when I finish the ones in my comfort zone), but because I want to support the developer and thank him for creating such a good app.

TL;DR: Best Sudoku app, the only one you’ll every need/want because reasons (below). I have a couple silly suggestions (again, below).

I have had this Sudoku app for years. I love it! I have tried several other sudoku apps over the years and I haven’t found any that offer all the functionality this one has to offer. I don’t understand why anyone would ever want anything else.

This app makes it very easy for you to switch between making notes and filling in answers; it can highlight and erase numbers and notes, or not; it automatically gives you a difficulty progression to follow everyday, if you choose; you can work square by square (usually the only choice offered in other apps) or number by number (my preferred method); and if you need to use a hint, it will walk you thru a tutorial on how to find an answer to fill in, teaching you how to become a better sudoku master along the way!

My only suggestions would be to maybe add fluff, like levels or experience points to track how much work people have done, maybe personal high scores for difficulty levels and not just daily global high scores, and other choices along those lines that will make it seem more like some of those other apps that lure people away from this app, the best sudoku in the App Store (that I a m aware of).

The options alone make this app the best. You can go from easiest to hardest in all the different settings offered. Are you new to sudoku, this is the best app to start, not only can you adjust the settings to your perfect setup, the game also teaches you how to play with telling you how and why a certain grouping works or doesn’t.

I have had this app for years and it only gets better. I’ve lost a lot of older apps to the developers not putting time into upgrading it or even keeping it up to date with updates. The developers of this app make sure that doesn’t happen. They are amazing and every upgrade to the app I’ve seen I’ve absolutely loved. Thanks for such a great app.
