This app is an excellent complement to Sudoku 10,000 Plus. Transfer puzzles easily from paper to save them and complete them on your own time in Sudoku 10,000 Plus. I've found nothing about the app I dislike. I'm glad the developer pointed this out to me when I sent them a message asking for some kind of OCR capability for Sudoku 10,000 Plus.
Very good setup and design.
This game is essentially identical to Sudoku 10000 Plus and Sudoku4ever Plus with exactly the same interface in each. What's more, the previews are definitely misleading... If you're looking for something different and/or better - look elsewhere! I've purchased all 3 and removed all of them from my phone! That said overall it's not too bad a game but if you've bought 1 you've them all!
The best sudoku play options combined with the ability to capture puzzles from books and newspapers. Capture works pretty well, thou I occasionally have to edit them after capture. All in all, a great game.
Excellent
Best way to import and play daily newspaper, online, paper, or other puzzles on your device. Take a picture and you're good to go. Quality app.
Excellent! Much improved display in recent update. The capture also seems to have been improved. Droid X Android 2.3
Very nicely done ;)
So many options. Would be great if they could allow you to take a picture of a sudoku puzzle, send it to a friend, and race against them!

This latest update doesn't open the game after capture. There should be a way to get the previous version back.
