## Hintoku Reviews in United States

### ***** "Drawn to make a review"
I’ve never written a review for any of the many apps I’ve used, but this app is just too good not to share! This is the handhold and guidence that I was imagining when seeking an app to learn Sudoku, and it is even better than I imagined! I’m 5 strategies in and am certain that I’ll be becoming a Sudoku master!
-- Rounds face, 2026-03-29

### ***** "Absolutely the best!"
I’ve been playing sudoku on NYT and getting frustrated when I get stuck. This app gives you exact techniques for when you’re stuck and even the complex tutorials become digestible. Absolutely love this app!
-- eudorathexplorer, 2026-03-15

### ***** "Very helpful"
This is perfect for learning new techniques.
-- ChuckJaxFL, 2026-03-14

### ***** "Helpful walkthroughs"
Thanks for creating this! I’ve been looking through youtube to understand the concepts, but this made it a lot easier to understand.
-- -tah-, 2026-03-12

### ***** "Most helpful"
This app has the best drills, more that any other it is really helping me Improve my skills
-- bechamboi, 2026-02-26

### ***-- "Restarts puzzles"
Great coaching but it restarts/refreshes puzzles I’m in the middle of if I leave the app.
-- Freewoman3, 2026-02-16

### ***** "Just what I was looking for and more"
Would give this app 6 stars if I could.  I recently rediscovered my love for sudoku puzzles, and wanted to try more challenging ones but would occasionally get stuck.  I knew there were more advanced strategies than the ones I had figured out on my own, but I didn’t understand how to use them.  This is a very well-designed and thoughtfully created app.  Not only did it coach me step by step through more intermediate and advanced strategies so I now have the tools to conquer any sudoku I attempt, but the interface is better than any other I’ve used.  The ability to highlight all cells that have a number as a candidate and/or solved is extremely helpful, as is the ability to color code candidates.  And as a bonus, if I’m trying to solve a puzzle elsewhere and I get stuck, I can plug it into this app and it will coach me through the specific strategies I should use to solve it.  Thank you, developer!  Well done.
-- TotalSpaz, 2026-01-17

### ***** "Brilliant training for Sudoku!"
I’ve been “solving” Sudoku puzzles for years, but found myself hitting a plateau on more challenging difficulty levels. This app in just a few short hours not only meaningfully introduced the ways to solve these puzzles but managed to give instant feedback when I needed it the most.

The initial gameplay feels cumbersome in the first couple rounds - don’t let that be a reason to set it down - it’s by design (I think) for beginners… As you advance and learn it opens up and is truly wonderful. Cannot recommend enough. Will be paying for the app, no question.
-- mwdoher, 2026-01-04

### ****- "No like light tap heavy tap"
I like the concept where I can learn the different techniques but I hate the quick tap to set a note and long press to place the solving number. I have played a few games in this app and would rather have a notes on/off button to use instead of the short/long tap. I have played over a thousand games in a different app and I’m used to the notes on/off button. I have another app that tells me what technique I’m looking at to get past a difficult play. I’m not sure if I will keep this app or delete it. What can you do to convince me?

Another thing I have come across while playing is when I know the number to place and I forget to hard press I get an error message if there’s other candidates in the cell. If my number l’m placing is the only candidate I get a message to long press. It would be nice if I get the message no matter how many candidates are in the cell.
-- IN THE WOODS?, 2026-01-03

### ***** "Just what I was looking for!"
I have loved sudoku since I was a kid but could only ever solve mediums… most of the time. So I loaded up this gem! It takes a lot of concentration and practice to truly understand the techniques; though a few days of utilizing the tips and tricks here, mediums are a cinch, I can solve most hards and I’m after those experts! Great step-by-step, hold-your-hand app!
