Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We learned and had fun playing this apt to learn about sudoku. We highly recommend this apt.
Great to learn and improve your sudoku skill. Fun.
Ive loved this app but it no longer opens on APPLE IOS 14.2.
You have made this easy so we finally know how to work these puzzles. The practice puzzles are so fun. Getting ready to move into playing! Thanks.
We have always been intimidated by this game until now. This app lays its all out in a clear and concise manner that makes it easier to learn the hame.
Great app.. Could have more hints to help learn.
If you are interested in learning Sudoku, this s the best place to start. Great app.
This app is amazing! It is easy to understand the learning technique and easy to move around within the app from one level to another. Highly recommended.
We have wanted to play Sudoku for the longest time. We just didnt get it when we tried other modes of the game. We downloaded this app and rather quickly we were playing Sudoku. Hooray. We dont know what other peoples criticisms might be, but this app is an easy way to learn the game.
Easy to learn and fun to play-the best.
We're a relatively intelligent person and we're generally pretty good at puzzles. But for some reason, we've never managed to get the hang of Sudoku. This little app has changed that. It took us step by step from super small puzzles to more complicated ones then all the way to a real Sudoku challenge. If you want to get a quick grasp of Sudoku, get this game.
Once you get the paid version, its truly ad free. No constant pop ups. Its great for all levels. Love it.
Este juego es muy bueno, se aprende es muy claro al ensear. Us gusta mucho, lo uso frecuentemente.
Highly recommend!! We had some difficulties capturing the strategies behind playing sudoku. This app was THE ONLY one that broke everything down at a pace that was ideal for us as a beginner. Once the underlying "code" was figured out we could build off of that knowledge as a foundation. We no longer feel lost or unsure in the games–Now we can play at expert levels thanks to this :-).
Easy to use and great way to learn.
A great way to learn the game. It has several levels and lots of help. Very enjoyable.
We have tried sudoku in the paper or magazines and found the puzzles impossible. This app. Works great for both young beginners and accomplished players.
We've had this game for years and love it still. Thanks for the update.
Nicely tees up the game. Since it is a learning tool, it would have been nice if they had provided strategy hints on how to maximize the notes feature or the single number highlights. We would like a landscape option, too. Regardless, we play every day. There are plenty of options and no annoying ads.
We feel good about learning how to play Sudoku. The pop up ads are annoying but tolerable.
Am new to Sudoku. Like the different levels. Especially like the helpful hints.
Just started. It is as you stated, trial and error. It is a big help to have the easy games, then start to advance to complex games. Also, very nice to have instructions/helpful hints.
Slow game progress. Doesn't have the option to select multiple squares with a single number. No automatic pencil. And you can't listen to music or audiobooks while playing or eliminate ad sound.
Please update this app!!! We love how easy it is to learn & play in this app! We've had it since we bought our first iPad. We now have an iPad Air. We don't want to lose this if apple switches to 64 bit.
This is without a doubt the very best SUDOKU APP OUT THERE!! Truly Sensational! It has earned our very rarely awarded 10 STAR RATING.(~) IF YOU LOVE SUDOKU you have to give this App a shot. All their games are good to great but this one is a step above the rest.
We are enjoying the progressively harder puzzles – makes learning and playing sudoku fun and less frustrating – well done.
We already know how to play but this is still so fun!!! We would rate it 100 stars if we could.
We have wanted to play for years, but would get paralyzed by the sheer number of boxes and numbers. But this tutorial has made the game fun by building our confidence slowly. Thanks.
We have never been at ease with anything that had to do with numbers. Well, we decided we had to see what the attraction was to this game involving numbers. Guess what? It is fun!!! Our trepidation when dealing with numbers may start to recede.
The feature we like the most is the ability to "highlight" numbers as we work the puzzle. Enjoy your time.
Friends and family have for years told us we'd enjoy Sudoku. We finally agreed by downloading a couple of applications. This one is a learning tool; it makes studying Sudoku pleasant, and we can tell the game is going to be a frequent favorite. Thank you. Lindathai.
We like how the games start easy, and get harder as you go. LOL. Great game!!! We totally suggest it.
Directions are easy to follow. We love it. We have been wanting to learn for a long time.
Enjoy the style of learning this game.
Very good and we rely enjoy palling it and it's a good learning exercising the brain.
This app has made it so much easier to see the correct moves. We can finally enjoy playing sudoku.
Thanks for such a great game. It is very good training and we like it a lot. Finally we will understand sudoku.
For giving us a starting point w/ Sudoku.
Great app for learning the game. Fun, simple to understand and adds additional challenge as you go.
Easy to use, and easy to see a mistake instantly. Great learning app.
It is good for all ages and we do not fell threatened when we play even though no one is there but us. We are 65 and play games a lot now and we only do what we enjoy and this is a game that we include.
Fast and fun way to learn! This app is well constructed with different levels of learning as your skill increases. So glad we found it.
Great way to learn how to play. We highly recommend this app for beginners. We love (and hate!) the timing feature.
Good app really helps with learning the game.
We have tried other apps to learn sodoku and with this one we're finally "getting it".
A great way to learn how to play.
We thought we could not learn to play, but this is very easy to follow. We're now completing the harder levels.
This app can ease you into the game if you are inexperienced and allows you to learn the techniques but has levels to go right to if you are experienced and want a challenge off the bat. Best yet, it's free.
Great place to start or refresh your game. We can't stop playing.
We love it ,it's a very good way in progressing with the game.
