Sudoku Of The Day

I really like the way you enter numbers - it's very intuitive between tracking and entering. I even bought the "Premium" edition. But, after playing a LOT, my statistics keep disappearing, so I have to start at the beginning again. It's nice to be able to choose a random game, but I sure hate starting over again and again. Another crazy feature - the statistics track time for each type of puzzle and the number completed for each difficulty level, as well as the average number of HINTS you have taken for each difficulty level. That's great, but it DOES NOT track MISTAKES in the statistics. Well, you might as well just take a guess, rather than get a hint. Very strange design choice. Update April 10 2019. I THOUGHT they had fixed this, but today my statistic disappeared again - well over a thousand games gone. They still don't track mistakes, and ask you to verify an action, even though there is an undo. Too bad.

Not so great any more... The upgrade increased the tile size so my fingers missed the tiles by just a hair. I've played this game for years, so increasing the tile size screwed up the natural order of balance. I spend too much time fixing these senseless errors; thus killing what used to be exceptional times. However, of you are new to this game, you'll love it. If you are an old player, do not upgrade to version 2, you'll hate the issues the resizing does to your complete times.

I love the difficulty of the puzzles, as I've found them to be harder than a few other apps in the store, however the hint system is virtually useless. In today's diabolical puzzle, i had the candidates in column 9 locked into two different pairs, and the hint told me there was a naked pair in the row. the hint system completely ignores your pencilmarks, and provides no actual information if and when you truly get stuck.
