I’ve used this for some years now and it’s a solid Sudoku app. I would like to see a few changes. For one, the scoring system is set to give the highest points to the 9’s, then the 8’s, etc. That makes no sense to me, but I don’t really care so much about the score, so not a deal breaker. Also, it would be nice to have the options to have all the cells filled in with pencil marks, for those times when I would prefer not to spend the first 6 to 8 minutes doing it manually. I also own a more full-featured (paid) Sudoku app, but many of its features are only available on the pc, so this is the one I default to, since it is always close at hand on my iPad.

Don't get me wrong, this is a well written Sudoku app. But there are better ones in the App Store.

Faults:
Entering pencil marks (almost required at the "hard" and "expert" levels) is slow & tedious!

HUGE gap in difficulty between hard and expert levels. Once pencil marks are completely entered in, the hard level "solves itself" rarely requiring "advanced" techniques. Jump to the Expert level, and advanced techniques are required, but difficult when only 6 pencil marks are shown at a time.

"Perfect" scores mean nothing!
Allowing mistakes encourages a kind of cheating... I have over 50 expert wins, but when I've been in a hurry, I just guess on a number where I've narrowed the possibilities down to 2 numbers... If I'm wrong, I get a mistake, but I now know the correct number, and it's usually enough to finish the puzzle with a "perfect" score...

I keep this on my iPad because it's a great Sudoku for beginners, and my kids like the interface. But I will move on to other better apps.

I’ve been playing Finger Arts’ free-version of Sudoku for well over a year now. I love it. I play it multiple times each and every day. The interface is clean. The app offers seven different skins, all nice.

When I started playing Finger Arts’ Sudoku 2, they did not offer an ad-free version. It was only because I was showing the app to a friend, that I went to the About screen and saw the Ad-free link for the first time.

Finger Arts does a fairly good job of keeping the ads from being too distracting, but I’m glad to have paid for an ad-free version. Only complaint, my stats from the free version did not carry over to the paid version. I had an 843 game streak at the Expert level.
