Satori Sudoku for Negative User Reviews
✓ Pretty good, but......I like this app but there's just one problem, when you change the difficulty level, it doesn't do anything. It's just as hard, even when you press the "new" button. It would be great if someone would tell me what to do. Have any of you guys seen the dark knight? Yah, that was the best movie I've ever seen. Peace out..Version: 0
✓ Too hard, even on "easy"I bought this one because of the great reviews it got. I commute on the subway and enjoy solving the newspaper puzzles in under 20 minutes. This is not one of those. I have no use for it now. If I was stuck locked in a room for a few days at a time, maybe I might waist my time on this. The easiest level takes way too many guesses to solve. Who has that kind of time while commuting? I want my $ back, or please add some puzzles that are able to be solved under a half hour!.Version: 0
✓ Includes games that have multiple solutionsI found this version of Sudoku to be very frustrating because: • It includes scenarios where there are multiple solutions, which makes even the easiest puzzles very difficult to solve. • There is no undo feature • There is no way to totally clear the board if I get totally lost I've deleted it, so I just wasted $1.99 - too bad the App Store doesn't have a refund policy..Version: 0
✓ Puzzles don't have a unique answerDoes well what it does, but 2 stars knocked off cause puzzles don't have a unique answer. That's a major turn off for some (me). 1 star knocked off cause there aren't advanced stuff like "pencil in" to test solutions without compromising the board, and clicking on a cell to highlight it's column and row (useful for quickly checking out possibilities visually)..Version: 0
✓ Not worth the moneyToo many bugs. Once you finish a game successfully, the continue button doesn't work, to start a new game, so you have to leave and the restart the app to play another game. Even when all the solutions are correct, it tells you you are wrong and won't continue. And I'm pretty good at sudoku, but even the easiest level can be really hard most of the time. Overall, not great, considering I paid for the app..Version: 2.0
✓ Bad and pointless updateThis was a fantastic app for me. Every game was challenging on all levels. Now with the new update, the generated numbers aren't 'random enough' anymore. The given numbers show up in patterns that match up on opposite ends, if you get my drift. Think I'm gonna have to convert to another one. Tis a shame..Version: 0
✓ Ok, but disappointingI liked the interface, and the price was right. However, the puzzles usually cannot be solved by logic alone, which is a serious flaw with Sudoku. It wouldn't be the first time I have come across puzzles like this, but I never paid for them. I can only hope that an update comes out to improve this. I would give it a 2 if they don't, and a 3.5 if they do. DO NOT GET THIS UNTIL THEY UPDATE IT!.Version: 0
✓ Some serious flawsA decent version of sudoku and reasonably priced, but there are some serious problems with it. First of all, the way to fill in a cell is a little awkward, requiring double-taps. (Single taps are used to "pencil in" possibilities.) More seriously, most of the puzzles it generates have multiple solutions, making it impossible to solve them without guessing. Some of the puzzles appear to have a *lot* of solutions, meaning you have to start guessing early on..Version: 0
✓ Great Interface & Horrible PuzzlesAs all the reviewers here who have played this game will tell you, the puzzle generator here is broken. I've tried a few times on normal level and I keep getting puzzles with multiple solutions. To test this yourself, enter a puzzle at any online sudoku solver. You'll get multiple solutions which are extremely frustrating. My generic, Verizon Sudoku cellphone game generates better random puzzles than this one. The interface is very nice so I hope the developer fixes the problems..Version: 0
✓ Needs fixed.When it works, it's one of, if not, the best sudoku apps in the app store. However, I have had issues with the puzzles this app generates where a puzzle either has no solution or the numbers are wrong and force you into putting more than one number in one box, even when you've done everything perfectly right. PLEASE FIX THIS. If this was fixed, I'd happily recommend this app..Version: 0
✓ Good Interface - Very DIFFICULT puzzlesI like the interface, but the puzzles are VERY difficult (even on the easy level). I've played a lot of other sudoku games and can usually get them on their most difficult level. But I can't get some of these even on the easy level. I've also encountered some puzzles that have multiple correct answers. Most every puzzle requires using pencil marks or using the "cheats" provided. It would be better with a timer also. On the positive side, it is very intuitive to use and the graphics are attractive..Version: 0
✓ Nice graphics, great price, but not a true sudokuTo echo what everyone else says, true Sudoku needs to be solvable by logic and not guesswork. Even at the easiest settings there are ambiguous answers to the same puzzle. However, nice touches include: - Price: can't be beat - Can listen to music while playing - Graphics - User interface I would give this 4 stars if the logic issues are fixed..Version: 0
✓ Very basic flawI echo the other reviewers on the flaw that the program allows for multiple solutions in a puzzle. I have used other Sudoku programs on the Palm and iPhone, and this is the first one with this problem. The other major miss for me is the lack of checking as you go. You can only check once you have completed the puzzle. I would recommend another application besides this one for Sudoku..Version: 0
✓ Solid OfferingThe clean interface of Satori Sudoko is a pleasure to work with and the various levels of difficulty will provide challenge to players of all levels. The current version (as of July 16/08) does have a bug where puzzles can occasionally be un-solvable, however this issue has been addressed by the developer and an updated version should be available within days and should not be viewed as a reason to not buy this very reasonably priced application. Recommended for players of all levels..Version: 0
✓ Great interface. Puzzles useless. Please fix it and provide a free updateI want my money back... the actual Sudoku puzzles are a waste of time. They are machine-generated, and even some of the "easy" ones cannot be solved except through trial and error. When I was able to solve one (often with a "harder" setting), it was easy to see that there were multiple solutions. In spite of the excellent interface (no annoying sounds or hokey animations--just play it!), this does not overcome the fact that the puzzles themselves are both ugly (non-symetrical) and terrible. No stars for you, Mr. Kozan. Please go back to the drawing board, get some good puzzles, and provide us all free updates. Thanks..Version: 0
✓ Not There YetIn order for a $1.99 app to compete with the free ones out there doing the same thing, it needs to have a little more robust functionality, and this one doesn't quite deliver. For starters, the difficulty ratings are inconsistent and indistinguishable between "normal" and "difficult", and even on the most difficult level, the puzzles are far to easy for the advanced Sudoku puzzler. Users serious enough to pay expect a higher degree of difficulty and to leave the free apps to the ameteurs. This app could also benefit from some simple scoring/timekeeping elements for the competitive player to track their personal bests. An undo button would be nicer than the cheater elements, so you can backtrack to before your mistake was made instead of just cheating to see the answer. Finally, something at the end of a successfully completed puzzle would be nice rather than the bland statement "congratulations, you solved the puzzle." The overall UI is good so I think this one has promise but needs some work on the features..Version: 0
✓ Not an impressive algorithmHaving paid for paper puzzles and playing a number of electronic Sudoku puzzles this one made me realize a nice interface is only part of the problem. The interface here is excellent. The algorithm for puzzle generation is quite bad. Even simple puzzles are sometime solveable only by brute force. Needs work, if an update improves it I will write and updated review..Version: 0
✓ Awful puzzlesGame play is pretty good but the puzzles are terrible. Out of 10 puzzles I've played, 9 have had multiple solutions with one having at least 8 correct solutions. Increasing difficulty level makes the puzzles have even more correct solutions. The publisher needs to correct this flaw. Game is unacceptable until it is fixed..Version: 0
✓ Great Interface, Great price, BAD PUZZLESI chose this app because of the interface, and I still think it's the best one for the price. However, the puzzles are invalid and frustrating (unlike real sudoku puzzles) and I will waste no more time on this app. The only reason I don't delete it now is that I'm hoping the developer will update it with a better puzzle generator. Otherwise, I will look for another app..Version: 0
✓ Ok app, but lacks featuresApp works ok for price, but wish it had a "check your answers as you go" or "hint" feature like most online games so that you don't get to end of game and have to undo everything because of one mistake. The "verify" feature only works at end of game..Version: 0
✓ Great GUI, Logic Needs WorkFor the price, it is a pretty good game. The GUI is clean, and the highlighting feature makes it very easy to see patterns for a particular number. It is also easy to add and remove pencil marks. The Auto feature only shows you the available numbers for a particular cell, but does not fill in the the pencil marks like other versions do. This could be a plus or a minus depending on your preferences. On the down side, the pencil marks are a bit small, although they are positioned in the cell so that you don't really need to read the number to know what it is. A timer would be handy so that you could see how fast you are going. The biggest problem with this game, however, is that there are often multiple solutions to any particular game. You'll often be in a situation where there is no obvious answer, and will have to guess at a number. I've found that my guesses are always right, and that there's always two or four open cells at the very end with identical pencil marks. This mars an otherwise fine game..Version: 0
✓ Multipule solutionsI purchased this App listening to how well the interface was, dismissing the reports of broken puzzles. Sadly I should have listened. Every puzzle I've gotten since purchase have had multipule solutions. Very disapointing. The interface is quite well done, but the broken puzzles rob all fun and make the game frustraiting. It looks like they come up with the puzzle by taking a full puzzle and pull X random numbers depending on difficulty. You can't do that and guarentee solvable puzzles. Don't buy this unless it is updated. I regret buying it. All I can hope for is a future update that makes it playable..Version: 0
✓ Nice try but it needs to be improvedIt is a nice game, with an easy user interface. However, I’ve found some small things that could ruin the game. First in the settings, there is a slide bar to set the level of difficulty with a tiny button to grab. That's just very hard to grab and slide. There is lots of space to make that button bigger. Furthermore, when I set the hardest level I was able to solve a game easier than in easy level. This is strange, but hopefully it’s worked in this way just for me. The second thing is the double tapping on the buttons with the numbers to finalise a cell. It doesn’t work properly. I always have problems with it. Sometimes it's jammed, sometimes it doesn’t react the way as I want. If the developer could rethink the user interface, I'm sure he would find the way for the better interface without using the double tapping..Version: 0
