Pros and Cons

Pros

Cons

  • Uses a lot of power

Why Did I Download/Buy This?

I was bit hard by the Sudoku bug. I love logic puzzles and number puzzles anyway, and Sudoku is just the best of both. I wanted an application that was going to allow me to create puzzles on the fly and not limit me to built in. I chose Astraware because I have other products from them and they have always been high quality.

How Do I Use This?

Well, I use this to play Sudoku. :)

    There’s another Sudoku app (by Andrew Gregory, it’s googleable) that I prefer. It’s fairly slow at generating new puzzles and there’s no difficulty setting, but it will never run out of puzzles and it’s free and stable. You can also enter your own puzzles and save any number of games. The only reason it uses so much power is because I play so much :) , actually it dims the screen while generating.
