We put everything we could into making the best digital Sudoku game ever released:
- We wrote a puzzle generator from scratch to create over 70,000 of the highest quality puzzles you’ll see anywhere. We spent weeks figuring out how to generate intricate and complex puzzles you won’t find in other Sudoku apps. Our hardest puzzles require wild techniques like “XYZ Wings”, “Hidden Quadrouples”, “Jellyfish”, and “Swordfish”.
- Most people don’t know this but Sudoku puzzles are actually generated by programatic Sudoku solvers. The fastest way to know how hard your puzzle is, or if it’s valid, is to write a solver that knows all the strategies that can try it. With Good Sudoku, we run our solver as you are playing, so if you get stuck, it can detect what you know by looking at your answers and your notes, and then help you find the next technique you need to solve the puzzle.
- Most Sudoku games classify difficulty into vague Easy, Medium, and Hard difficulties — But what do these difficulties mean? Typically they refer to the kinds of solving techniques that are required to solve a given puzzle without resorting to guess-and-check. In Good Sudoku we aren’t vague about it at all. We lay out exactly which techniques are required for each difficulty level. Good Sudoku allows you to practice them individually outside of puzzles, and keeps track of which ones you’ve learned!
- When we first got interested in Sudoku we noticed that a lot of players spend most of their time looking at the board and counting. On easy puzzles, this counting serves as a way to increase the difficulty by making the puzzle take longer. We know some sudoku players love the counting but we found it a bit tedious and designed some tools to alleviate the busywork. At first these tools might feel a bit like cheating, but once your mind is freed up from counting you’ll have space to see the much deeper more fascinating side of Sudoku: all of the beautiful technique structures. Freed from the burden of busywork Sudoku becomes one of the best search-style games we’ve ever played. More fun than word-searches and solitaire, high-level Sudoku is a real treat — and with Good Sudoku and a little practice, anyone can learn it!
- We noticed when looking at other Sudoku apps although there are often daily puzzle modes, those modes never include global leaderboards. Weird! Good Sudoku remedies this problem!
- We wanted to make the best Sudoku out there, and while we’re proud of our puzzles, we recognize that puzzles come from all places. That’s why we built a quick and easy custom puzzle mode into Good Sudoku, so if you have a paper puzzle that you’re stuck on, or you’re trying some wild variant (Like the Miracle Sudoku!) it’s easy to put it into the game, play it, and share it with your friends. If the puzzle follows standard Sudoku rules, our hint system will even help you get unstuck!
We truly hope Good Sudoku can introduce you to, or deepen your love for this great game.

I forgot how awful this one is and regretfully downloaded again by accident.I have an iPad eight and my iOS is updated. This game is mostly fun but after a while the glitches really get to you. Sometimes if you push the red pencil to delete options it doesn’t work. Sometimes you can push square after square and it will still be red and sometimes it just goes back to normal. Then you push theNumber you mean to delete and the system thinks you are trying to enter that has the answer and bleeps the error noise. There seems to be no rhyme and reason to the scoring. As you play there is a score recorded in the upper right hand corner. But it seems to have nothing to do with the score that happens at the end. They never match up and don’t seem related at all. I really wish that function keys worked correctly all the time. They just don’t and then it becomes frustrating. I’m taking this off my device for now and maybe I’ll try again one day. They have some good ideas in teaching you how to play sudoku and I do like that it fills in all of your options so you can figure it out.

Crashes almost every time I play now

I am an avid user of the app. Had it for a long time and have been pleased with the interface and overall feel f the game with the added bonus of learning new techniques. Recently, even on latest gen iPad Pro, app randomly freezes and closes. Sometimes current game is lost, sometimes not. Would not recommend that anyone purchase until the issue is resolved due to nuisance of starting over alone.

incredible design but constantly crashes

bessbdow on

I think this app achieves its stated goal of being the ideal sudoku app, with thoughtful and pleasing design along with genuinely helpful tips and lessons. unfortunately, i only use this app sporadically because it crashes so often it doesn’t feel worth the frustration. it freezes any time you switch screens (whether looking at another app, swiping down to change your music or check a notification, etc.) and sometimes reloads the app or quits entirely. when it reloads or quits, it sometimes loses your progress in the game you were playing. it also sometimes freezes while just doing things within the app. it seems like maybe a bandwidth issue because the app uses sooo much storage, but i really hope the creators are able to fix this because it’s truly a wonderful app!!!

Good Sudoku???? AWESOME SUDOKU!!!!!!!!!

Best app ever. I love you.

My faaaaaaavorite sudoku app!

By far my favorite one that I’ve tried. I love their system, and feel like I am challenged enough while still being able to understand where I got stuck when I ask for a hint. Cannot say enough good things about it!!!

Best sudoku game

Sbaynham2 on

Ads aren't excessive, game has a lot of good quality of life tools. Update: previously I wrote that the hint system was terrible but that was because I was removing candidates instead of crossing them out which I guess confuses the hint system. Now that I cross it out the hints are very good

Intrusive Ads

Matt on

United States

Has some real solid sudoku tips and tools, but I have zero tolerance for apps that utilize full-screen ads, some scammy and misleading, that all require pressing a skip button three separate times, each with its own countdown timer.

Good but a little disorienting

Kid reviewer on

United States

I’ve been enjoying the app with its lovely design/UI. It’s clearly a labor of love and a lot of thought went into this. However, I wish there was an option for focus without accent notes, or a less intense highlight on the note in general. I found the improve techniques tutorials a bit difficult to understand due to the accent notes taking my focus away from the regular notes that would be important to completing it. The current color scheme is a bit high contrast and leaves me a bit overwhelmed. Doubly so when using focus with accent notes. I did just find the black/white text color option which was helpful, but it still feels a bit crowded. Still fun though and offers plenty of brain twisting challenges!

Seems like a great way to speed up the busy work

I like the game, but just came across a frustrating problem. I'd almost completed a board and one of the "houses" had 8/9 squares filled. The game gave me a big red message blocking the screen telling me the game had reached an unsolvable state, and prompted me to "click here." Clicking it undid ALL OF MY WORK to reset the board! It was not unsolvable, it was a 5. The one remaining empty square was a 5, because it is the only number in that house not used yet. I hadn't guessed any numbers. Everything was reached using autofill and marking the board up. No mistakes had been made, and the game undid everything. I'd like to avoid that happening again.
