šš» great for both playing and learningAside from being an excellent digital rendition of Sudoku, it also does an fantastic job of teaching the game ā Iām becoming a
better player because of this app.
(I downloaded it the moment I saw āZach Gageā, based on his past work ā itās another great example of the quality of his
work.)
Absolutely fantastic sudoku appReally love this app. Easy to use and the techniques teacher is amazing. One nitpick: if I explicitly mark a naked pair in a
house, I would prefer not to have a hint pop up that tells me to cross out the other that pair in the other boxes. Either having
an option to automatically cross out those num
Great game with catchy designGood sudoku is really very good! The only features I feel could improve are the processing of daily contests. It appears that
people are using the raw API to achieve high scores rather than playing by hand. Even were it not the case: Iām a player that
can complete basic and even expert puzzles in a
Display size issueGreat sudoku game, love all the features and tips. Only issue is on the iPhone 12 the app doesnāt quite reach the top of the
display. Once fixed it would be a perfect game
Odd jumps in auto fillSometimes the app auto fills numbers with no reasoning that I can tell to have filled the number.
Really beautiful appWorks well, the UI experience is beautiful, and I love the teaching aspect to it. You can really tell the developer(s) put a lot
of heart in this.
Name of the app is a big understatement!Best app in the world!!! I love you guys
Best Sudoku app Iāve foundGreat to pass the tedium and get to the more difficult techniques.
One improvement suggestion: the ability to color cells and to clear colors easily (at least 4 colors.)
A little buggy but a pretty cool versionI love the techniques feature. Iāve never seen this before and I am definitely learning. Iām going to purchase the upgrade to
get rid of the ads and open the features, but I wanted the dev to know that I often have to shut down and reopen the app after an
ad and once after learning a new technique a
Enjoyable, but with some quirks to improve uponI like many things about this app. It took some getting used to, but this is my go to app for sudoku and I play it for 1-2 hours
every day. I never thought about just how tedious it is to finish houses toward the end of a solve, but after not having to
manually do it for a while it feel fairly tort
Beautifully made training appNever really got into playing this game until I tried this app. Itās great for beginners wanting to learn them game without the
frustration of not being able to complete a puzzle. Makes the game fun even if you never played before.
Sudoku 2077This is the best sudoku client out there. Most entertaining and nicest interface. Some crash bugs are frustrating and ui
weirdness but not deal killers.
Great for beginners, and moderate-advanced playersI have recommended this app to many of my sudoku friends of all different skill levels and all of them have found it to be a
tremendous help! I would recommend this for anyone interested in getting started in sudoku or interested in improving logic-trains
regarding sudoku puzzles.
Delightful experience!Good Sudoku thoughtfully reinvents how the game can be played and learned. I really enjoy the focus mode, the auto-notation, the
hints system that lets you finish figuring it out, the chill and pleasant sound track and sound effects. Thanks Zach and Jack!
Take my money! :)
Genius gameSudoku is dime a dozen on iOS. Itās not even that, itās dime a hundred, the games are free, and they are universally terrible.
But this game is amazing. It trains you how to be better at Sudoku, and has the best interface for quickly solving puzzle Iāve
ever seen.
GreatMy only complaint is lack of documentation. Like how are scores figured? & How is difficulty determined?
A perfect gameThis game is perfectly itself. Itās the best sudoku app youāll find, and really does teach you to get better at recognizing
sudoku patterns. I live for the daily challenge mode. Would love to see some more social comparison features that bring friends
scores to the daily challenge mode, though. Woul
LOVE!I have always liked Sudoku, but this has made me LOVE it. Iāve gotten so much better and love the way it teaches you techniques.
I also love the tools. The ONLY way this app could be better would be if you could toggle back and forth between having Auto Note
on and off while doing a puzzle. Still, d
Great Sudoku!Smart design, insightful explanations of advanced techniques, and best of all, no ads! Well worth the modest price.
Love It (Audio Issue)Love the game, sometimes when resuming a game though it tries to play two audios at once so you have to āsave and quitā then
go back to it again to get rid of the issue.
Send help. I canāt stop playing this gameThanks to this game, Iāve developed an addiction to Sudoku. The only cure is more Sudoku. 10/10
Good app for learning advanced techniquesThis Sudoku app has made it easy to learn solving techniques that have āupped my game.ā Highly recommended!
The 1.0.8 update had a freezing bug that occurred when a puzzle was completed in any hardness levels in Eternal game mode. The
developer corrected this issue within one day of it being report
The only game I play on my iPad at this pointSee title. Itās really, really great. Thanks so much for making it! Sometimes itās a bit laggy when Iām waking up my iPad
from sleep but it works its way out after a few seconds every time, and Iām sure that will be resolved (... if it isnāt from
the last update ...) ... regardless, thatās the type
Great app, one small bugThis is a great sudoku app, and Iāve played it a ton over the last month. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes sudoku,
especially if youād like to improve in your techniques (or if you didnāt even know there ARE techniques).
The only reason I didnāt give this a 5 is because of a recent bug th
Simple and wonderfulThis isnāt just Good Sudoku... itās also plain good sudoku.
Love ItI use this app daily to do the three daily sudoku puzzles. Works great.
Forever BeginnerI enjoy the beginner series because itās an easy mental workout that doesnāt require any advanced methods for solving the
puzzle. I usually do one per AM and on e per PM. This is as advanced as I ever plan to be.

Excellent interfaceI really enjoy the ease of note taking in this app. Being able to highlight what I want makes organizing the numbers work in a way
that helps me solve. I also appreciate the technique tutorials which is the main reason I picked up this version.
Best Sudoku app in the App StoreIāve tried tons of sudoku apps, but this one is by far the best one Iāve used. It consistently delivers value, is
entertaining, has good music, has a KILLER vibration function thatās incredibly satisfying to feel (even when the app is
silenced), and helps teach advanced techniques like nothing Iāve
Really goodI like the app. I do wish there were options for font sizes. Notes are hard to read because the numbers are so small.
The perfect sudoku gameI have been waiting for a well designed sudoku game for years. This design is perfect! Thank you very much for making it!
If you need more ideas please make a chess game next!
Thank you!!
Never cared bout sudoku till good sudokuAmazing, cant say anything negative!
Great game but I hate in app purchasesLove the game (so glad I paid for the full version because a lot of love clearly went into making this).
My only gripe is that I wish the in-app purchase to unlock the full game supported family sharing so that I could play this on my
wifeās iPad as well.
Read thisMake it where it updates the puzzles you solve on different devices
Part of my daily routineI look forward to completing the daily puzzles every morning. Itās a solid app and I can tell that Iām improving, noticing
advanced techniques without the need for hints. The ads are gonna bother you, just pay the few bucks for the ad free version.
Fun and addicting take on Sudoku!LOVE this game. It improves on standard Sudoku in all the right ways without changing the game itself. Plus it offers standard
version gameplay as well.
Best sudoku app!Iāve tried a lot of sudoku apps and this is one of the best! The app does a good job giving hints, itās really helpful for
learning more advanced techniques.
Got me into SudokuIād never seen the appeal of Sudoku before. But the clean design, simple instructions, and increasingly clever strategies have
me hooked. I now think this āSudokuā thing might catch on ;)
Great for learning advanced strategiesLove the app. Would LOVE to be able to have the first click on the hint button say the type of technique for the next hint without
showing the location. Just knowing that there is an XYZ wing to find would help me learn to find them.
Best sudoku app!Iām bad with words but thanks so much to the creators of this app!
Like the tools to help automate solvingThe leaderboards are totally useless, people are just doing a screen grab, pausing the game, then solve āofflineā then
continue and fill in....
How do I know? I did it, and still got 6th place....need to remove pause/save for ranked games!!!
Better sudokuHaving done sudokus for many years, first on paper and then using a different app, I was very pleased to discover the teaching
aspect of this app. I have improved my solve rate and no longer resort to guessing.
Kudos to the Dark Cards makers for helping a 73-year-old learn new tricks.
Best Sudoku Game On MarketHelped me improve my game and love game variations. Would be nice to have more stats (games played, average solve time, number
hints). Global stats across each puzzle would add another level of replayability - trying to improves scores/times.
'Family Sharing of In-App Purchase Not Working''Finally a clean and intuitive Sudoku app! Though the app description says that app and in-app purchases support family sharing
but can
'Only sudoku app I'Good Sudoku cuts out the tedious bits of the game and lets you focus on the fun parts. The auto-note feature is incredible,
sparing me from the five minutes of filling out each possible number (and then worrying if I got something wrong). If you do mess
up and get stuck, you can revert to the last
'Almost Perfect''I have been hosed more than once by a little bug in the software. I will select a mode, like highlight or strikeout. I will then
select a box and a number and it will come out of the mode. This happens inconsistently. Sometimes it stays in the note making
mode, sometimes it pops out. More than once

'Love this game''Love this game, is there a way to sync progress on different devices?'
'Doesnāt Sync''This is an awesome way to learn and improve on your sudoku skills. Just donāt attempt to use it on multiple devices. It
doesnāt sync your progress, i.e., puzzles youāve completed on one device arenāt marked as completed on your other devices.'
'IF YOU HAVE NEVER PLAYED YOU NEED THIS''This is seriously my new favorite. Iāve already recommended it to so many people and I feel like I have learned SO MUCH about
it! It feels so good to watch myself grow in this game and what I notice on the board now can when I started. The explanations and
the use of notes are just the best. 12/1
Critic reviews
New puzzle mode brokenI really enjoy this app, but some of the logic for the new extended impossible puzzles is wrong, which makes them impossible to
solve. I haven't had any issues like that with the other difficulties.
Battery drainI used this app about 5% of my time on my phone in the last 24 hours and it used 45% of the battery. I love the game, but playing
1 beginner game shouldnāt use 5-10% of the battery.
Will update my review to 5 stars easy if the battery drain is addressed.
Multiple mistakes in first puzzleI like the layout of the game on iPad. But there were multiple errors in Puzzle #1. I lost confidence in the game when you find
multiple 8āsin the same row...or when a youāve got an empty cell but no valid numbers to play. Iāll try it again after an
update.
CrashesSuch a good app. Iāve been playing the game almost nonstop. However, the recent update makes it so the app crashes all the time.
I open it, click on a puzzle, then the app crashes. Over and over, so I canāt even play sudoku with this app anymore.
Game Center integration is really badIn many ways this is the ultimate Sudoku app! However, itās frustrating that it usually doesnāt save my achievements to
GameCenter. Instead it keeps telling me Iāve hit all of the initial achievements... like every time I finish a puzzle. Every
now and then one of them will finally persist in Game
Great take on Sudoku ā but the app fails the conceI love the concept behind this app; itās a new take on Sudoku, and makes it much faster, and lets you concentrate on the hard
parts of the puzzle, and not the mechanical parts.
However, the app is really deficient. Lots of crashes, progress doesnāt sync on iCloud, the Daily leaderboard keeps getti
Great turn at sudoku, but too unstableThe sudoku experience is excellent.
But the app crashes so much, itās hard to recommend at this point. Most frustrating is when it crashes after finishing a puzzle
and it doesnāt record the puzzle completion.
Crashes A LOTThis is my favorite sudoku app out there BUT for about a month or two now itās been crashing every time I finish a game and any
time I want to pause whatever Iām listening to and sometimes just at random, causing me to lose points, progress and replay
whole levels. I havenāt played in a long time bc
AwesomePlease fix the white bar on the top of main screen, which looks ugly.
Like the implementation BTW.
It crashes way too oftenCrashing wouldnāt be so bad if it didnāt lose data, including puzzles I just solved. But it does, and thatās frustrating.
Also some annoying behaviors, like when I mark a number with the cross out tool, and then it resets the state such that i lose my
place.
Missing sync between devicesThe game is wonderful, the app works great, but there is 1 huge feature missing: iCloud sync!
My progress should be synced so I can play on my phone on the game and when Iām at home Iād like to enjoy the big screen of
the iPad. This is the whole thing about the Apple eco system.
The funny thing is
