Real Kakuro Free - Cross Sums for Android
I have been playing for years and with the latest update it is impossible to play. The numbers are distorted and when I try to select squares it doesn't work without multiple taps. I'm very disappointed with this update. I had the app rated at 5 stars. If the issues are fixed I will re-rate. Otherwise I will uninstall.
Don't update. Latest update is completely about ads. Results of update are: squished/distorted screen, sluggish/delayed response, remove ads option. No new content. I'd pay to remove ads if you hadn't otherwise wrecked this game experience.
Thank you Luiz for fixing the cell selection bug - in about 24 hours! It works well now on the S8. Now if you could fill the dead space at the bottom of the screen, expanding the board a bit, it would be great. But even if not, thanks for fixing the issues.
I was able to play it at a fast speed before the newest update but now when I'm quickly switching between the next box to mark and pressing the numbers for the box it switches to a box between the two and the numbers start going there. Its frustrating but i really like this game...
The newest update RUINED the app. Everything is now riddled with delays in your button presses and frequently will not click where you intended. This has the best level selection among similar apps, but I would recommend those apps instead until the issues with the current version are sorted out.
The app appears to have developed a glitch, out of the blue: the cursor won't move to the square I tap; I have to move it by dragging, and it's time-consuming. I've been using the app happily for several years and this happened overnight. I tried deleting and reinstalling, losing my times in the process, but it's still doing the same thing. Can this be fixed please?
The latest version seems to have fixed the problems I have been having with the controls, and it is once more accurate & responsive (Pixel C). Hopefully no new issues have been introduced on other tablets...
Thank you for restoring the ability to select a cell via direct touch - such rapid response. As promised, I'm going back to my 5-star review. This game is great!
Used to be one of my favorite games. Since last update, controls don't work right. Does not select cells without tapping many times. Update and will rate high again.
Selection of squares is working again but doesn't seem as fast as earlier but maybe I am getting senile.
28/1 looks like the interface issues have been fixed. 27/1 same as others: pointing at a square no longet works; I have to sort of drag the highlighted square around. And after I finish the puzzle, it takes almost a second before the app realises it's done. I just checked and I'm not part of the beta program. You would think the developer would test any big changes to the interface before a major upgrade. Another update: screen size is ok again, though the fonts appear to be squashed. Screen handling is also slower than before. Also the application appears to have reset the 200+ puzzles I'd already solved. For the 23-jan update: now the screen is extremely small. A post stamp in the middle of the screen. Device is a samsung galaxy tab2 sm-t810 . For the latest update: app won't rotate with screen. And it's now also missing the bottom 10% or so of the screen so I can't reach the arrows to go to the next page. I used to play this game continuously, doing several puzzles a day.
Latest update fixed the cell selection and cheat sheet update issues for me. Back to 5 stars.
before the last update I would have given it 5 stars, now it takes forever to acually start the game, instead an ugly screen appears, something "..unity.."
I've been playing daily forever but since the last update the font makes it impossible.
Hervig. Now pick works again. Samsung Galaxy tab s2. Good. I only reinstalled to allow restart of all puzzles. Better would be a Clear button?
After last update can't select cell by tapping on it.
You fix it, thank you
Loved it until last update. No longer works on my Motorola Xoom.
Works again.
I really like this kind of puzzle and play it regularly!
Loved the game on my s2 tablet. *** Thanks for the speed with which you fixed the graphics problem but, the new controls are too difficult to manipulate. you used to be able to activate a square by touching it: now you have to drag the previous active square to the square you want to write in. It's hard to believe this change was done on purpose*****.
This used to occupy so much of my time but a recent update has totally screwed it up on my Galaxy S8+ so that it takes 20 seconds or more to move between cells and the cheat options don't update unless I switch the cheat on and off sometimes. Please fix it, I'm having withdrawals!
The most recent update definitely has some bugs and needs fixing. The game board is not responsive and the cursor box moves to random spots on the board on its own. Moved rating from a 4 to 2 for this reason. Please fix.
This used to be my go to time killer, but unfortunately a recent update has made the game unresponsive to input.. either my touches aren't recognised at all, or there's a lag on detection.
Edit 2018-1-26: it just keeps getting worse. Now the game is not responsive to selecting boxes (either all together or it just takes several taps to select a box). Virtually unplayable for me at this point. =====Edit 2018-1-24=====: Newest updates are causing the highlighted boxes to jump around, causing players to place numbers in the wrong squares, especially when moving quickly. =====Original review===== Love these puzzles, I'm going to be sad when I finish them all. Wish it had a "save checkpoint" sort of button. Also, I typically keep my screen rotation locked in portrait but the app sometimes ignores that setting and rotates anyway (which is dumb, this app is only readable in portrait anyway).
Had same problem as other people with not being able to tap a square to make it active. Very frustrating. However I fiund I could drag the white square to a new position instead. Not as easy but works.
The game keeps me on my feet ???????? I update change of cursor use has killed the game for me. Not user friendly????
You really messed this app up in your latest update. Pretty much unusable now.
Today's update made square selection much worse.
Was great. Latest update ruined it. Why remove the ability to select a cell with a click?
Can't focus on the cells quickly. If you're trying to beat a time, this sucks.
This game was perfect until this morning! None of the boxes are responsive. I can't play anything. Terribly frustrated!!!!!
Was a good game for passing time, but they ruined it with this last upgrade.
Gave 5 stars before, this update makes it impossible to select cells.
Loved this game until the update. I was hoping the most recent update would fix it, but the problem is still there. When I press a box to enter numbers the curser jumps to a different box across the board. Also, the interface isn't as snappy as it used to be. It's less responsive to number presses and slower to register the end of a game.
SECOND EDIT: THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE QUICK UPDATE. ALL IS WELL AGAIN. ???? EDIT TO ORIGINAL REVIEW: What happenned? All of a sudden this app opens up very tiny on my tablet, impossible to play!!, Fix it quick!! Great way to pass the time. Several different difficulty levels let you select stronger challenges as you get better at the game. After playing it for a while I want to add that I tried the puzzles that some people claim are not solvable and I was able to solve them . I think some people just blame the puzzle makers if they find it to be too difficult for them. Don't believe them. This is the very best Kakuro app out there.
This was perfect. Until they updated it and it started using so much power it drained my phone in no time flat. Considering the app is doing literally nothing while I stare at it fit ten minutes at a time I can only assume it is vacuuming up my info to sell on, or using my phone to mine crypto.
Latest updates ruined app on s8+ Crushed display (no longer fills screen as it once did) and sluggish responsiveness. Thanks for wrecking the app.
The new tweaks to the UI make it hard to use

To the devs, I have been playing this game for a long time. I usually play all of the hard ones then reinstall it so I can start over. Now when I reinstall it goes back to the saved games. Would like to see an option to clear all the games and times. I like this app better than the other ones. Please help. Oh, a way to contact you outside of reviews would be nice.
