Is Sven's SudokuPad legit?
🤔 The Sven's SudokuPad app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
This is a great app to do Sudoku on. Just wish it was easier to get more puzzles on here. It’s $3, but after we finish the puzzles on there we have to put in the work to add more puzzles. Another feature that would also be nice to have, is when you put in a number in a cell, all the pencil marks either in that row/column or box for that number disappear. Just an idea. But overall, great app!!
Very outdated compared to web version
Very disappointed to see this app missing so many features available on the web version. I downloaded this app to use on planes when I don’t have internet access, but it’s not really usable for some of the puzzles with newer mechanics like ”fog“. I emailed the developer but never got a response.
does not work on mac.
I downloaded it and it works on 20% of the clicks. idk whats wrong with it but there is no way to use it.
Incomplete
Great little app, but missing features compared to the web version, such as fog
Needs Fog and Web Features
I bought this app so I could follow along with the puzzles on the channel. I kept getting kicked off on my web browser and it would reset the puzzle, deleting all my work. I got the app to try to resolve this issue, but then realized that I can’t do any of the fog of war puzzles on the app. This was very disappointing as those are my favorite puzzles so I still end up using the web browser and risk getting reset. There are other features on the web version that would be very useful in the app.
Erasing my progress now
I've never had this happen before. It happened on the DUNE 2 puzzle. Extremely frustrating.
Import broke
If the import feature still worked it would get 5 stars, since I bought it for that feature, it’s worthless to me.
Bugs
Please fix the cage bug - cage color is being changed from black to white, so cages are invisible. This bug has been in the app for a long time. Please fix!
Worse than the free webapp
I appreciate all the work which went into the webapp, and I don’t mind supporting the developer with a monetary donation. But my honest review of this app is that I wouldn’t keep it even if it were free. I hope they can improve on this app, which would be fantastic with more features. In particular, I was hoping for an index of puzzles. Something to differentiate from the webapp without handicapping the webapp’s features either. Best of luck!
NO VARIATIONS!!!
From going through the website for this app, I was under the impression that variations (such as are on Cracking the Cryptic) cloud be made on this. WELL THEY CAN’T! I wanted to make sandwich sudoku. NOPE. Vanilla sudoku only. I can find that at plenty of sites online for free, but I bought it here for the variations. I have made no puzzles and solved no puzzles, and still can’t get a refund for the purchase. Regret regret regret. If you just want to play puzzles others have made, or make vanilla puzzles, you might like this. I wouldn’t know, because I haven’t solved any.
