Sven's SudokuPad

Can’t click in cells so can’t enter numbers or do anything in the Mac app. The online and iPhone work as far as I can tell, but the Mac app …. Nothing.

Big fan of cracking the cryptic and wanted to use this to play the same sudoku puzzles they play and feature on the channel. Trust me when I say, I really really want to like this app! But I can’t! It’s so bad! The UX of solving puzzles in this app is atrocious. Falls LEAGUES behind other sudoku apps, such as logic wiz. Examples of missing basic functionality: - can’t save progress of one puzzle and start another puzzle - can’t convert from corner pencil marks to center pencil marks. Leads to wild amounts of repetition and key presses and wasted mental cycles - can’t draw lines or do any advanced coloring or marking at all - no way to highlight all digits/pencil marks of a certain digit to help with scanning The list of missing functions goes on and on. Think of any function you would want a sudoku app to have and it’s almost guaranteed to be missing in this app. If the app gets these missing features I would happily rate 5 stars. Please update.

Completely unusable on Mac, to the point that I’m surprised it got through app review. Just use the website.

It only creates basic sudoku puzzles and nothing like you see on the internet. A total waste of money.

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 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.

I downloaded it and it works on 20% of the clicks. idk whats wrong with it but there is no way to use it.

Great little app, but missing features compared to the web version, such as fog

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.

I've never had this happen before. It happened on the DUNE 2 puzzle. Extremely frustrating.
