## 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.

### ***** "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!
-- dwiessner, 2025-12-30

### ***** "Love it"
I used to play an amazing sudoku game on here and it was taken down. Luckily I found this from a post by the developer on Reddit!! I love the way the hints are presented. My only one minor “complaint” is auto-deleting candidates. But it’s not majorly important.
-- KnivesBoone, 2025-12-30

### ***** "Great for beginners"
Im new to sudoku, and this app has helped unscramble the jargon a lot of other resources don’t explain well. It’s simple, effective, and walks you through everything step by step to make sure you understand. It’s amazing!
-- Matatouille67, 2025-11-17

### ***** "Game Changer!"
I’d been stuck on a tough Sudoku puzzle for days and couldn’t figure out some of the advanced strategies, so I posted online asking for help. The developer of Hintoku actually replied and gave me such a clear, helpful explanation (thank you!!). They mentioned this app, and I decided to give it a try — and wow, it’s AMAZING. The lessons and examples are super easy to follow, and I’m finally understanding techniques I couldn’t grasp before.

Highly recommend Hintoku for anyone starting out or wanting to level up their Sudoku skills. It’s honestly the best tool I’ve found so far.
-- Ooberstick, 2025-11-04

### ***** "It's great"
very helpful in learning strategies
-- wishtherewerebookmarks, 2025-10-23

### ***** "Excellent way to learn advanced techniques!"
I downloaded this app to help learn more advanced sudoku techniques, but started from the beginning as is required. Immediately I was impressed. This app was built by someone clearly passionate about both sudoku and teaching. I’m into the xy-wing strategy right now and that’s been a real challenge for me to learn, but this app is walking me through different examples and gives hints that street easy and eventually walk you through the solution to the next move only if you really need it. Truly incredibly designed.
