What real reviews say
★★★ Skip it and use the web app Not quite to the level of asking for a return of my 3 bucks, but I won’t use it unless/until it’s updated. The web app has more features.
★★★ Cannot save a puzzle I am working on in the app! I have lost a few in progress puzzles because there isn’t a save function on the app! I like the app, but now looking for an app that lets me save a puzzle for later!
★★★★ Almost perfect app! Would love to see the line drawing tool added and the ability to play fog sudoku puzzles from the website. Other than that great app that I love!
