Contact Sudoku Master Edition Support

I was interested in trying out this app because of their claim for "full" Apple Pencil support. I've been using Puzzazz's TouchWrite handwriting system on both iPad and iPhone for tehe last 5 years, and Puzzazz enhanced Touchwrite earlier this year to work even better with the Apple Pencil on my my iPad Pro, so I was curious what this app had to offer. I was seriously disappointed. I had to go into Settings to turn it on, which was not at all obvious, and then I couldn't figure out how it worked. There's a pad at the bottom and it looks you write there, but I could not get it to recognize anything I wrote and put it in the puzzle, no matter what I tried. And there's no explanation.

I did solve a bit without my Pencil. It looks like they're trying to turn Sudoku into a game I can lose. I couldn't care less about a stupid score. And ... Why is the puzzle so small? Why are the notes laid out incorrectly? Why am I not allowed to make a mistake in the grid? Why do my entries look just like the numbers already in the grid? Why aren't the puzzles symmetric? (Do the creators actually solve Sudoku?) And where did they get the idea that a puzzle should ever have 40 givens?

To start on a good note, the app has a great simple design and calming background music that really fits the vibe of what I want when playing Soduko. Further, there are so many great customization options. But what really shocks me is that there is a) no redo button to undo an undo and b) the undo only works on main values and not scratch values. This paired with the handwriting recognition that is only 60% accurate makes for some horribly depressing issues. More often than note I’ll write a scratch value, the handwriting system puts a 9 instead of a 2 and I instinctively hit undo and bam, the value I wrote in 10 minutes ago is undone and I can’t remember what that value was and I’m lost. This can be fixed so easily by at the minimum implementing a redo or even further by extending undo functionality to include scratch values, some very expected but unimplemented mechanics. I can deal with the eh handwriting recognition but not this. Overall 2/5 because this is a huge issue and makes me put the app down and not want to return.
