Satori Sudoku App Reviews

Good App

This application works well and doesnt waste time with unimportant frills. The negative reviews Ive read might make sense if the app was priced at something like $20. What do people think theyre going to get for $2?

Best $1.99 Ive Spent?

Probably. There was this bottle of wine when I was 17, but... another story. This is a clean, smooth working interface; it is challenging and fun. The only way youll go back to paper games is if your iPhone battery dies and theres no plug around for you to plug back in so you can play so more.

Wonderful Application, Responsive Developer

This one does exactly what it says it will, and the developer has been very responsive to customer feedback and regular with updates. Good show. The one thing Id change is to have a switch to choose whether single-taps enter answers or pencil marks. Double-tapping to enter answers has been a bit of an adjustment for me. But it works well and I really dont consider this a serious deficiency, just a difference of opinion about how the interface would work best.

Works well, purchased on sale for $.99 - Sept 29, 2007

I reviewed all the Sudoku apps in the store before buying this one. Im not a Sudoku expert, so the game is challenging enough to kill 20 minutes. It works well and I havent had any crashes. I think the initial state of the game should include the full 1-9 "pencil marks" for empty cells. For me, determining which numbers are not appropriate for a cell is part of the game play. The "auto-fill button seems like cheating (it tells you which numbers are possible for each cell). Once its turned on, turning it off takes away all the "penciled in numbers", even the user-entered ones. During auto-fill use, user changes to the worksheet ("pencil") numbers are over written and not kept. Otherwise, a good app.

No, 1.1 didnt fix the no solution problem

Downloaded 1.4 and the first 3 puzzles didnt have a solution or the auto pencil was wrong. Worked fine before 1.4. So, back to one star!

Incorrect Puzzles!

Terrible sudoku app. The interface is nice, but it doesnt generate correct puzzles. Not one of the puzzles I have played had only one solution, and if the puzzles arent correct, whats the point of playing the game? Also, you have to tap the number twice in order to select it for a space, which is very annoying.

Very good (update)

I also wrote an earlier review bagging the app for multiple solutions per puzzle and asymmetrical puzzles, but these issues have been fixed. I agree that having the ability to create your own puzzles would be nice, as well as the ability to clear the screen (but continue with the same puzzle). I also think the hard level should be more challenging, as those only take 8 to 10 min to solve. Since this is turning into a wish list, it would also be nice to have a timer and *maybe* the ability to compare/compete with other users? Just a thought... :) Even without these additional features, this has now become quite a nice Sudoku app.

Great app

I use this every day and it has always worked great. Good features and very clean. I have tried a lot of Sudoku apps and this is the best. Two requests - make start over an option rather than just "new" game, and lose that stupid flashing star you added on the last update. Otherwise great job and keep it up.

Fantastic, easy to use, difficulty adjustment to wherever you feel comfortable, and many puzzles that you can do. Highly recommended to buy this application, it will pass time greatly!

My favorite sudoku app by far

I really like this one above the others however there are a few things I would like to see. 1. The current highlight mode shows possibilities, but if you have eliminated a possibility it still highlights. 2. Maybe a slightly harder difficulty than the current hardest. As I am getting down to 2-5 minutes per game with highlighting (I like fast lol). 3. Maybe a switch in the ui to turn it into solving mode where you dont have to double tap to put a solved number in. Because I find near the end of a puzzle I have to tap excessively to finish out the puzzle. This is just a wish list though. Still the best either way. Good work!

Needs fixed.

When it works, its one of, if not, the best sudoku apps in the app store. However, I have had issues with the puzzles this app generates where a puzzle either has no solution or the numbers are wrong and force you into putting more than one number in one box, even when youve done everything perfectly right. PLEASE FIX THIS. If this was fixed, Id happily recommend this app.

Good?

This is a good app and a lot of fun but it is a little to hard for me. They should add an easier option or more easy option.

Great Sudoku app with a nice and simple interface.

I had a free sudoku app on my ipod touch that I had always used. Yet I never really liked the layout of it and the backgrounds always seemed to get in the way. I like this apps simple yet effective presentation. I also like the fact that there is a number pad right on the interface which also comes in quite handy. Definitely recommended for any sudoku fan.

Sudoku Lovers Dream

I have tried several sudoku apps. This is my favorite. The interface is pleasing and the game runs very smoothly. Many helpful options. Easy to use and with a seemingly infinite game generator, this app will remain on my I- Phone indefinitely. **Only suggestion:** Please make the pencil marks a different color than the finished numbers that are entered. They are both blue. It would be helpful if the pencil marks were in a different color. Thanks for a great app!

Awesome

There must be so many sudoku games in the app store, so what makes this special. Visually is is beautiful, pleasing to the eye, and ability to generate millions of puzzles.

Excellent app

Easy to use, and the difficulty slider is a nice touch. Overall, one of the best sudoku apps.

decent sudoku app

one of the better sudoku apps. Has pretty much everything covered, different options and modifiers, easy to use, still difference isnt that big between this and some of free sudoku games. But if you want decent sudoku app and you dont mind spending 1 buck, go for it

Love it!

Fantastic app! It was the first game app I bought when the app store first opened. Since then I have bought, played, tired of and deleted countless others, but I still play this one almost daily. The developer did a great job of creating a perfect sudoku app!!!

Sudoku satori...glitch?

Dont know if mine has a glitch, but even with options enabled I havent been able to solve any puZzle in EASY!! Nor has my husband who is very good at sudoku

Too hard, even on "easy"

I bought this one because of the great reviews it got. I commute on the subway and enjoy solving the newspaper puzzles in under 20 minutes. This is not one of those. I have no use for it now. If I was stuck locked in a room for a few days at a time, maybe I might waist my time on this. The easiest level takes way too many guesses to solve. Who has that kind of time while commuting? I want my $ back, or please add some puzzles that are able to be solved under a half hour!
