KenKen Classic II

The undo button is confusing! It doesn't just undo your last pencil mark/possibility or number, but will randomly jump back several moves. If you input a number, it will remove the appropriate pencil marks in the row and column, but if you then undo the input, it won't replace them! It's functional and you can use it to solve KenKen problems. But it's not a great experience.

Great app. I've been looking for a good KenKen puzzle app and this is the best one I've seen in the play store so far. It has a fairly straight to the point interface with decent ad placement. A great app to learn, practice and improve logic. I definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a challenge, especially if they enjoy Sudoku style puzzles.

Controls are clunky! The overall game is excellent but the controls are very sloppy. Multiple cell entry for pencil is beyond annoying, multiple highlighted cells for entry is confusing, the undo button sometimes undoes several moves, showing errors when entering pencil marks is not needed. Devs, These issues are easily fixed and I hope you find this feedback helpful. Will give 5 stars if these improvements are made As for the ads; they don't bother me that much.

Loved the game and have an annual subscription. Shortly _after_ Dec. 2021 annual auto renewal, I began getting a pop-up that I had completed 70/70 puzzles and had to pay for more to use app. App store confirmed that I was paid through Dec 2022. I did multiple uninstall/reinstalls with no success, and I've sent multiple emails to app team, but thus far have had no response. Don't know what's happened to app or to customer service. Save your $$$ until app back up to par and fair/reliable.

Ken Ken itself is amazing. This app is pretty poor. You can't write down multiple combination for the same area, just individual numbers for each cell. The redo and undo buttons don't make sense (they redo/undo a random number of steps somehow). Looking for a better version but not sure there is one out there though.

A very good KenKen game, easy interface and useful options. But I am not very fond of the constant ads. I don't normally complain about the ads, it's only fair to watch some especially if you are playing the free version. But they are too much. If you go out a game and resume it just a few seconds later, chances are that you will have to watch an ad. Also, I've noticed that the game doesn't always add a number straighaway, requiring to tab the screen multiple times. Everything else is great!

I would actually quite enjoy this if it didnt bog me down with ads after every single puzzle. To top it off, once I beat a certain number of puzzles (took about a day) all the puzzles locked up, wanting me to buy more. i get you guys need to make money, but you get to pick-either spam ads for cash, or try and get us to make in app purchases all the time. both is just bad form.

Great, except....Annoying "intro animation" for every puzzle (while the timer starts running). The first tap on every puzzle NEVER registers (while the timer has already started running). Horrible and loud sound effects and music are on by default (you can disable). EVERYTHING ELSE IS PERFECT!!! I paid for extra puzzles to remove the ads. Worth it. If it weren't for these two issues, perfect app.

Quick fun. Ideal to fill empty times that are short as they most are these days. Quick enough that the search for the next move is not frustrating. Ads do icrease the level of annoyance but, wih this KenKen, the annoyance level is low. If it would increase significally, I would have to find another game. After all, the purpose of any game is to have just fun. I like the clear display of choices of grids and levels of difficulty. Altogether I'm quite happy with the diversion this game offers. Plus it's an intelligent game. Makes us think, or at least calculate.

This is by far the best KenKen that I have tried. I wish that the green and pink selection wasn't so close to the bottom of the screen as it is really easy to hit the home button instead. I'd also like to have the gameplay recognize when you're trying to play out all the solutions rapidly and you choose a number,tap a cell and choose a number only to realize that you are still in the first cell.

Consistently challenging. I have enjoyed playing for years and love these. My only complaint is that to even when paying a high annual price for the web based games (ad free plus access to the most challenging puzzles) you still have to buy puzzles for the app (after a few free ones). If you try to access web based puzzles on your phone you are shunted to the app. Nevertheless, I pay up to play!

You have to sit through an ad after EVERY puzzle. Sometime it would go to a black screen and I'd have to close and reopen it. In the puzzles, it often selected the wrong square when you'd click on one, if it registered it at all. it's not my phone because no other apps have that problem. Could be a great app, but the insane amount of ads have completely turned me off to this.

It went from 5 stars to 2 now it's 1. Played it all the time, but now the phone app crashes after the first screen of continue game. They have always been great with customer help, but for this no responses. I'm just glad it still works on my tablet. Edit - doesn't work on my newer tablet , but works on my new phone. I did get a response 'We know of the problem' 1 year ago. Still no fix. And I paid for games!

Meh. Kenken puzzles are great but this app is barely tolerable. Enter an incorrect number by mistake and you may as well start the whole puzzle over - the back button works sometimes, other times it takes you back 10 or 15 moves for no apparent reason. Poorly conceived and executed user interface. There is no way to keep sequence notes which are key to solving difficult KenKen.

Undo feature has erratic behaviors. The game will let you enter the same number on the same row or column as the same number (obviously incorrect) without any notice to you, letting you waste time on incorrect progress. 9 by 9 easy puzzles are not easy, not that they need to be, but 9 by 9 puzzles can be made for easy play and this note is just here to indicate that the puzzles are not curated in any way. Difficulty is inconsistent.

Never received the puzzles I bought. I've spent a week emailing customer service and they have been completely unhelpful and barely responsive. Edit: I ordered the puzzles on 9/22 and they only fixed it today, 10/12. With no response from customer service for the last 2 weeks. I guess at least they fixed it, but the whole experience was pretty terrible.

Very unclear with how the purchases work. I assumed paying would unlock more puzzles, but when you purchase it gives you a set number of "plays" for puzzles from any category to play. Basically like buying tokens at an arcade. I paid $2 for 31 puzzles, which took about 20m of play time. Very misleading and a waste of money.

Works great, mostly. The undo button seems inconsistemt in what is being undone, and the annotations are easy to mess up (accidentally type a number in a space when you meant another one? Correcting that cell is fine but the annotations are automatically cleared based on that first entey and undo doesn's always put all annotations back)

Stulidly and unreasonably expensive to buy more puzzles. Not even close to being worth considering buying more. Its a shame since I like the game and have played it for a long time. Even bought 1000 puzzles for like £2.50 a few years back on my iPad which have since inexplicably dissappeared. Shame I'll have to delete the app becausd its far too expensive to consider.

It's an amazing game with math and thinking! It teaches it if you have never seen it before (I have seen it before this) and it goes from super easy to hard, and it chooses short commercials so we can keep playing after 2 or 3 seconds! Amazing game, love it.

major issues on Android version. I paid $20 and I get ads. Also, UNDO does not restore all pencil marks as they were before. Finally, when you start the puzzle and choose pencil marks, the top left box gets highlighted even though you choose other boxes. Last year we had the Apple version which worked perfectly. a true ripoff

It's an excellent game but the hardest level (9x9 expert) is no longer hard enough for me. Please add a more challenging puzzle. Perhaps giving less clues would help. Can you do a 10x10 layout? Maybe you could add equations?

Best brain excercise apps ever! I think it's better for developer to keep the history for each puzzle likes the time taken to finish it, number of attempts, hints used, etc. I want to find the shortest and longest completion time puzzles for my future review but i couldn't find it.

I have played it 2 or 3 times a day since I started playing it 4 years ago. It does have a very annoying undo button that seems to go back a random number of entries. Other than that, it is a very good app.

The app itself is fine, but the customer service has no customer oriented mindset. They didn't refund my payment (one of my payments) when the app didn't sync on my different devices. And this year I can't get new puzzles in 9x9 expert category and they really don't seem to care. THEY ARE REALLY CHASING MONEY with such cheap tactics.

I'm rewriting this review and demoting it to 1 star. This app was great ... until new puzzles stopped populating and I slowly ran out of the ones I liked best. Long series of emails with their techs, but they can't solve it. Don't waste your money.

Good aside from the ridiculous amount of ads. After every single puzzle, or pause, and when you open the app. And, once you complete 50 puzzles, that's all. No more. So you get 50 puzzles as a demo and then you have to pay to continue, just so you know.

Love these puzzles. Had some problems when I bought a new phone and lost access. I contacted the developers and they replied quickly and restored all my puzzles. Highly recommended.

I have been enjoying this app for months.. All of a sudden my app stopped working. Even though I have an annual subscription, it won't let me play or even repurchase. Rebooting doesn't help.
