Brilliant

Easy to use, and you can select a single square for cheating!

Like it, a lot

I had an excell SS that solved puzzles on my mac but wanted the same on my phone and ipad for the time when made a mistake solving a puzzle. This fits the bill. Easy data entry and easy solving. Haven’t tried the camera yet as my ‘failures’ have been half filled in so not appropriate for me. Will give it a go and then perhaps snap them before trying to solve them we’ll see.
Suites me perfectly, bet it was fun to write.
Have now tried the camera and as it rarely recognised all the numbers correctly especially when I have entered some numbers perhaps incorrectly I’d love the option to stop it guessing the numbers.
Don’t get me wrong it is great and I use it every time I get stuck.

Useful but could be better

A neat app that could be so much better if the scanner worked better as it doesn’t mark out the cells clearly so it isn’t obvious which number refers to which cell, there doesn’t appear to be a delete if you make a mistake typing in and it’s not very good at detecting hand written numbers. A ‘Solve next’ would also be a nice feature.
