Pencil Marks Are WAY TOO SMALL!
I purchased this for the collaborative play, but the pencil marks are so small that neither my hubby nor I can read them! Even with the single player, the pencil marks are too tiny. Granted my eyes aren't what they used to be, but this is the first sudoku app I have played on the ipad that I can not make out the pencil marks. I hope developers will correct this in a future update. It would also be nice to be able to enter your own sudoku puzzles (i.e. from newspapers, books, or magazines). The other sudoku apps which I paid $2.99 for allow the user to do this.
United StatesFlawed
Love Sudoko and was enjoying this until I discovered it won't let me make a mistake. It is only possible to put the correct value into a box. Takes some of the point out of it.
United StatesLove the collaborative play
My son and I often play this in collaborative play mode. We love it! As we sit facing each other with the ipad between us, the game shows each of us our own view of the board complete with our own pencil markings. As one of completes a value, it immediately appears on the others view. Near the end it does get fun to race each other to see who can rack up the most points and be the one who hits the last square to complete the puzzle. Simple, clean, easy to use interface. Perfectly sized squares and number pad even for my big fingers. Very nice game, especially for the price! Thanks!
United StatesWeird winner selection
I was playing this with a friend today. Both of us had no mistakes, didn't take any hints, and he had more commits than me. But somehow, I ended up winning just because I completed the puzzle. That doesn't make any sense! And what is that 300,000 score? Please change the algorithm to calculate something like C-(H+2M) and then compare that to select the winner. Otherwise, graphics are good and multiplayer sudoku is so much fun.
United StatesLove it, but please fix difficulty bug!
Great app at a wonderful price! Please fix difficulty bug though, as right now it only shows as easy.
United StatesDifficulty Setting is only flaw...that I see.
I actually do like this app a lot. Especially the head-to-head play, which is perfect for the iPad. Only problem is the difficulty setting doesn't seem to work. No matter what, it plays "Easy". Hard to complain because the app is free, but would love a fix!
