Soduko - Getting back into it (Part 4)

I have so far tried three FREE Sudoko Apps on the iPad.

Big Bad Sudoku Book 3

This is what the screen looks like

The reason I chose to try this App is because of the dual number pad.
This gives the ability to put in a note with just one tap
I do like a cleaner, crisper screen than the above.


This is the screen that comes up when you complete the puzzle correctly.


I like the options you get to select your puzzle.

You can get the version I tried above here

Soduko - Getting back into it (Part 3)

I have so far tried two FREE Sudoko Apps on the iPad.

Sudoku Free HD

This is what the screen looks like

What I really like and the reason I chose this App is because of the dual number pad.
Also ability to put in notes, yet I expect all soduko apps would have this.
The clarity of the screen is important for me as well.
I like a clean screen.


This is the screen that comes up when you complete the puzzle correctly.

Completing the puzzle incorrectly, the APP does nothing but wait for you to do another action.
I would prefer a little feedback to indicate puzzle filled unsuccessful, but I guess they don't know if you are done or would rather figure that out yourself.


If you closed the app, stopped playing or got the end unsuccessfully. This screen appears upon re-opening the APP.


If you choose to continue the time will continue from where you left off.
If you choose start over the time will ALSO continue from where you left off.
I would prefer that it started over at 0:00 when I start over so I can see how long it takes to do that puzzle.
I would have expected if you say continue time contines, if you say start over it starts the time and puzzle over.
Once you start a puzzle, I never figured out a way to do a completely different puzzle, so you always have to get through the one you are working on, or worked on last.

What I don't like about this is you cannot re-do puzzles you already done.
I am not one who would remember a puzzle I already did, so I would get more play on this if you can just redo the puzzles at a later date.
I have no interest in buying additional puzzles.
Maybe when I am done I will uninstall it and re-install it to start over
This version does not let you do that.

Soduko - Getting back into it (Part 2)

This handheld Soduko game has been lying around the house for years.

My dad bought it when he was into playing it.

I thought I might try it out since it's here.

It is not very intuative, so I wont be trying to learn how to use it.

I also don't like that it is not illuminated.

Old Electronic Suduko Game
2005
This game boasts:
1 million random puzzles
Different levels
Six hints

If you have played Sudoku on the Nintendo DS, and also on the iPad it's unlikely you would switch to a gadget like this.
