Killer Sudoku CTC for Positive User Reviews
✓ The best!Hands down the best sudoku app I’ve ever used! Easy, intuitive, and fun!!!.Version: 1.2
✓ Beautiful! And a request...All of CTC's Sudoku apps have beautiful puzzles and excellent tools. My only request for their Killer (and Sandwich) Sudoku is to include list exclusion (in the given lists of sums) in the undo stack. I will often run aground and need to undo myself back a bit, and I lose my thread of deduction when the lists I've grayed out don't revert. If this is a known challenge for UX (it might appear that nothing happened), I would suggest showing (and flashing?) the sums panel when undoing those exclusions. I give it 5 stars regardless, but knowing how thoughtful they are I thought I would offer this request for future updates!.Version: 1.2
✓ Top NotchI really appreciate all of Cracking the Cryptics sudoku apps, and this is one of my favorites. I enjoy that the puzzles in the beginning teach you the particular logic that you’ll need for more challenging puzzles (like how the first puzzle teaches you to use The Secret). One aspect I really like is the app does a lot of accounting aspects for you, like giving you possible combinations for a given killer cage along with a calculator, plus automatically removing pencil marks that a placed digit interacts with. That is the developers respecting the intelligence of the solver; the challenge is deductions, not getting buried under your pencil marks or petty arithmetic. Top notch app, hats off to the setters who contributed and the development team..Version: 1.0
✓ Like it!Great sudoku app with many well thought out puzzles. One knock is how battery draining the app seems to be. Maybe chosing to build something this simple on Unity was not the right choice?.Version: 1.2
✓ Not your average killer sudokuKiller sudoku is my favorite sudoku variant, and when I heard Cracking the Cryptic was releasing their own app, I was thrilled. As with their other apps, every single puzzle is hand-crafted and tested, and the creators themselves have written a series of hints for each puzzle that not only help you find the next step if you’re stuck but actually teach you techniques to improve your skills. Every puzzle in this app is absolutely extraordinary. They’ve been constructed by some of the world’s best setters. This is NOT your average killer sudoku. The logic involved is unique and exciting to find. Plus, the app has every feature I could ask for in a sudoku app: double notation, your choice of error-checking options, the ability to highlight and color, undo and redo. And specific to killer, it will add up cage totals for you, and it gives a list of all possible combinations for a given cage, and has a calculator for you to test other combinations. It’s a magnificent app, and well worth the $5. My only real complaint is the occasional typo in the hints, but it hardly mars the overall experience. Also, if there were a way to view the hint and the grid at the same time, that would be helpful..Version: 1.0
✓ Mostly Fun, few rough edgesI’ve really been enjoying this app. It is well made and the puzzles range from easy to very difficult. I’d mostly recommend this. My biggest “complaint” is the hint system. Smart hints are nice, but often will tell me things I already know. “Regular” hints… well they use a lot of jargon and state things that are not obvious and give free explanations. Some puzzles are better than others, but as the difficulty ramps up I’m finding the hints harder to follow. The hint may say these four cells need to be a 6/7/8/9 quadruple or that these two cells must add up to 4, but I have no idea how they got to those limitations. As such, I’m not learning any new strategies. (And sometimes the hints are leave me completely confused.) I did get this app a second time on my android tablet so I could play on a larger screen. Currently the syncing function will sync or merge progress, but it does set your completion times to 999:59 for all your puzzles. (Or at least it did for me.).Version: 1.1
✓ Another Killer App - Puzzles do not get better!These are the best Killer Sudoku puzzles you will ever solve. They are not created by an algorithm like so many apps, these are hand crafted by some of the best sudoku setters in the world. Each one takes you on a journey where you discover new tricks and ideas. The interface is great, the hints are very strategic and handmade as well. Just 6 months ago I was not aware of the world of handcrafted Sudoku puzzles. Now, because of the Cracking the Cryptic You Tube channel, I can’t get enough. Keep it up guys!.Version: 1.0
✓ Overwhelmingly BeautifulI never take the time to write reviews for apps, because there is usually not enough motivation for me to. However, there are so many great things about this app that I felt this app deserves to be known for. The puzzles. These are not computer generated, run of the mill puzzles. There is always something very neat about puzzles set by a human, and the developer for this app knows that. The logic is always satisfying to discover. The challenge of the puzzles is also at a good level: for those who have never seen this sudoku variant before, it may be tough, but for those who have seen one or two solves, these puzzles (at least the first five or so) won’t kill you. A good way to get into them, I say. I know with this app that when I click on a puzzle, I will be getting an interesting logical stimulant that has a gorgeous solution. The design. This app is made by people that solve puzzles every day and love them. They know what feels good in a sudoku design and what doesn’t. The settings also allow you to choose how much of the note taking and number filling the computer does for you. No ads in sight (but that would be silly on a paid app). The cost. For the amount of work it takes to put together this level of a sudoku app, $5 is more than reasonable. It doesn’t hurt that these developers are on round 6 of sudoku apps and know exactly what their consumers expect for five dollars. In short, there is no better killer sudoku app out there. This one is fresh and stimulating. This is the perfect gift for a holiday season, for yourself or for others. I cannot recommend it enough. Thank you, CTC!.Version: 1.0
✓ Great series- but timing bug fix neededLove love love the CTC puzzles, but there seems to be a bug with this one where the timer suddenly jumps up 100’s of minutes! Please fix!.Version: 1.2
✓ Deliciously difficultWonderfully challenging games that will keep you binge playing for hours.Version: 1.0
✓ The perfect sudoku app!Killer sudoku are IMO the best variant, due tom the sheer variety of logical techniques the setter and solver can explore. These puzzles are really fantastic. Every one is thoughtfully crafted, each infused with a delightfully unique structure and narrative. The puzzle interface is simple but effective, with a sophisticated hint system designed to teach new solving techniques. All in all this app feels like a labor of love. Couldn't recommend it more highly..Version: 1.2
✓ Nice, but some improvements needed for better UXSome useful features: - show the last hint in a small window, so we don't have to navigate forward and back between the hint and the board. (There is unused vertical real estate at the top of the screen) - row and column numbers, so that it's faster to find which row is which for the hints - better themes -- would love a darker dark theme (similar to iOS default dark), or even amoled dark - bigger buttons! It's really hard to press 1-9 properly because the buttons are so small. A mode / layout similar to daily killer sudoku would be really great.Version: 1.1
✓ Great Killer Sudoku appLove this app, really challenging but fun killer sudokus to play! Only criticism I have is adding new puzzles. Hoping for more puzzles to be added but love it regardless. Let’s get cracking!.Version: 1.0
✓ BrilliantKillers are my favourite variant. I’ve only done the first puzzle but it was beautiful. I expect the rest will be too..Version: 1.0
✓ Is it possible to reset the puzzles to play them again?Love the app, but can’t find a way to reset it and start over again.Version: 1.2
✓ Great puzzlesLove Killer sudokus. The app interface is really good, though a few more colors for the cells wouldn’t harm. Some of the constructions are amazing, but a few (notably some CTC ones) require bifurcation to solve, which is a bit frustrating. Even the hints indicate this..Version: 1.0
✓ Lovely puzzlesLove these hand-crafted puzzles though the hard ones are very hard indeed, at least for me..Version: 1.1
✓ What’s an outie?How about another option under the settings for an explanation of terms. I’ve googled ‘what’s an outie in sudoku’ and nothing comes up..Version: 1.2
✓ Love itI love everything Cracking the Cryptic puts out. Not only are the puzzles fun to play over and over, but their “hints” are also great at teaching how to be better at the puzzles..Version: 1.0
✓ Nice puzzles, needs cloud syncI’m enjoying the difficult puzzles so far! I hope they can add cloud sync feature to the app so I can pick up the game between my iPad and iPhone. The pass phrase system is not very convenient and Apple provides a mechanism for apps to sync. It would be greatly appreciated!.Version: 1.0
✓ A shame it’s not the top result when searching for Killer SudokuCTC sudoku apps are the only sudoku apps worth installing. High puzzles and apps, should be the first (and only) stop you make when looking for new puzzles to try.Version: 1.1
✓ App makes it too easyI am blown away by the little calculator that adds up your cage totals and tells you how many possibilities there are, coupled with all the highlighting (I have a lot of the features turned off, including highlighting errors and restricted cells) this app seems like does the puzzle for you, if I had all the features turned on it just about would! Good luck going back to pen and pencil sudoku after using this app! The software they use on YouTube and the software you get to use when you play those games seems antiquated by comparison to this software. Overall this is not a complaint, I like this software but I am losing my scanning skills as a result of using it.Version: 1.0
✓ Great app!!Love watching the videos and love to try the puzzles myself 👍.Version: 1.0
✓ Another brilliant Cracking the Cryptic app!So glad to finally have another amazing app from my favorite YouTube channel. I’ve been addicted to Simon and Mark for the past several months, and I love getting to solve these puzzles. I appreciate how similar to the Sandwich Sudoku app, this one provides all possible combinations of digits when you click on a cage. This is especially helpful for those of us who aren’t as quick witted as the CTC geniuses. If you take requests, I would very much love a Kropki and/or XV app!.Version: 1.0
✓ Tough but excellent puzzlesA great app for when I’m looking for a really tough puzzle to chew on for an hour. One of the few puzzle apps where I don’t feel too guilty about resorting to a hint now and then. Or if eight or nine minutes go by and I can’t find a logical deduction that’ll move me forward, the app makes it possible to make a guess as to a digit in a particular box and see where it leads. I color the box before I make my guess as to its contents, so that if I reach a contradiction, I can quick undo my moves until the color disappears and I’m back where I started. Very handy. Speaking of hints, though, the first hint in puzzle #22 is in error. One suggestion: When one taps on a box, all the other boxes that that box “sees” are shaded. I’d find it helpful if the other boxes within the same cage could shaded in a slightly different color..Version: 1.0
✓ Fantastic AppGreat utilities for figuring out possible combinations. Great UI (the corner notes don't cover up cage totals like in your web app. Only one nitpick, I seem to have a different difficulty scale than you guys. The first puzzle, rated one star, took me just over 50 minutes because I just couldn't see the logic of summing 8 of 9 boxes in a row to get the remaining digit. Stairs (puzzle 10), rated five stars, only took me 15. If you overlook my weird mind thing overlooking easy logic, it's a great app with straightforward to absolutely fiendish puzzles. Highly recommend the app and the YouTube channel if you are somehow unaware of it's existence..Version: 1.0
✓ Awesome addition to CTC collectionFantastic app! Easy to use and lots of options to customize the gameplay. Puzzles are TOUGH, but each has a set of helpful hints that teach you tricks to learn from..Version: 1.0
✓ Excellent game - great puzzles, great interfaceThis is a really enjoyable experience - the puzzles are good and challenging, with some fascinating variations and ways to break into them. I have done the first 17 and they all are very good. As well as the puzzles, the interface is very nice to use - particularly the way in which you can see what the possible options are for the cages and the way it can show you the sum of multiples cages..Version: 1.0
✓ Love this app!The calculator is awesome and the list of choices that you can filter helps so much. I hope that more puzzles are added soon!.Version: 1.0
✓ Excellent, but needs a proof read!I’m about half way through the app and really loving it, but there are quite a lot of typos and mistakes in the hints that really should have been picked up by a basic proof read..Version: 1.0
✓ Delightful LearningThe utilities in this app along with the beauty of the puzzles make it perfect for me to grow in my sudoku solving skills. I can practice more of the solving techniques seen in the CTC videos. It is a joy..Version: 1.0
✓ WaitingGreat games and definitely learnt a lot of new tricks to apply in sudoku. Only wished more levels are released soon as I’m going to forget the tricks or will end up deleting the app after a prolonged period of not playing..Version: 1.0
✓ Great puzzles, Sometimes hints are not understandableI enjoy Cracking The Cryptic variations on Sudoku puzzles and spend more time than I’d like to admit playing them. Sometimes when playing the more difficult puzzles, I look to the hints to get insight as to how to solve them. Many times, the hints are vague and do not help to understand the step. I get that it may be text length limited but if it doesn’t help, why bother. Keep making these puzzles while trying to help with better hints for solutions..Version: 1.1
✓ #90 - “Bloom” by CloverThis puzzle is an absolute work of art..Version: 1.2
✓ Amazing puzzlesThe quality of each and every one of these hand crafted puzzles is superb. I look forward to the next update!.Version: 1.0
