Very pretty design. But lacking a lot in the gameplay. The pretty graphics forced the number pad you use for input to be a very small size. I'm on a 6.3" phone, and it's a small keypad. Also, when you're using notes, and you enter the correct number in a box, the corresponding note isn't automatically erased. And an Undo button is sorely missing.
I love this game! I especially like that you can play past levels again to try to improve your time. A few things to make it better would be to display your last time when you replay a board and to make the numbers you push slightly bigger. Also, sometimes I have to push a number or square 3 or 4 times and when playing for speed it takes longer. Very happy last update added new levels.
still like the game. The puzzles are working quite well, but I am a little disappointed by the "Remove Ads" feature. I paid the in-app purchase to remove ads and it rarely remembers. Even if I click the "remove ads" button again, most of the time it removes it without asking for more money, but at other times, it refuses to press. It would be nice if I actually got what I paid for
Oh what fun to play kakuro on my phone, usually I have the old fashioned books with pencil and eraser. The problem with the book method is that if you make one error, the whole thing can set off a chain of errors. With this application you are able to find some of those errors sooner. I would prefer a different ad format on your application please - after finishing a puzzle in which I was deeply concentrating, I was blasted with an ad. It startled me twice so far. Not much of a reward.
So far I've really enjoyed this. Lots of puzzles, be organised by difficulty. Interface is nice, especially the ability to use a pencil to draw in possible values. Only two minor criticisms. First, I find the difficulty levels a bit inconsistent: some "hard" ones I find easier than some"medium" ones. Second: I sometimes find the number pad less than responsive, but that may be my phone. Oh and I wish I'd realised earlier you can turn the cheat sheet off!
It's easy to play. Squares can be marked to show the possible numbers. It can also show the possible combinations that can make up the required total for a range. There is a choice of five difficulty levels. My only complaint is that some of these seem over-rated. The Challenging and Extreme levels are no harder than some puzzles I've come across in the local paper.
For some reason I always hit "Later" when it asks if I'll rate this app. Today I decided to stop procrastinating. This is the app I have used the absolute longest. I have had it on every smartphone I've owned, back to the Blackberry I got in 2010. I work my way through all the puzzles, then delete the app, re-download it and start again. Yep, over and over. Sometimes I do have a feeling of deja vu and it'd be nice if there were more hard puzzles after all these years... but it's free, so hey.
Love this game, one of my favorites. Only 3 stars because lately, not every time, after sitting through the add and the "X" appears, you click on it to return to the game but are still sent to the play store to install an app you do not want and just indicated you do not want. Then when you exit the store and tap on the game app it sends you right back to the store! It just happened 3 times in a row. I am just about ready to uninstall, the irritation is about to exceed the enjoyment!
I love kakuros and this app is perfect to play it on. It is free, with quite a few levels and in each level there are so many kakuros to play, so you get better and faster, racing against the clock. You even can see the combinations or not. And tells you if you have put the wrong number in a combination vefore even finishing adding all numbers in the combination. So I love it.
Instructions were very easy to follow and understand, well laid out, with very clear given examples. Great alternative after mastering Sudoku. Very simple, yet pleasing layout. Not much for options, no Settings menu, but the simplicity is great for those that just want to get to solving the puzzles. Ads are not intrusive.
As an established puzzle game. This app hasn't done anything too revolutionary. You either like number puzzles and kakuro, or you don't. That said, this free app provides a plethora of content as far as pre rendered puzzles go. The UI is extremely user friendly, quite easy to use. And ads are non intrusive. There is a 5 second ad every few levels complete. If kakuro is something you enjoy, I highly recommend this app. I personally couldn't live without my daily number puzzle. So I love it.
Great mental stimulus: Speeds up mental arithmetic. Enhances analytical skills. Have solved nearly all the Easy, Medium & Hard Kakuros and am now on the Challenging ones (given up on a few). The App is well designed with a good tutorial. The "Cheat Sheet" facility is a useful tool when completely stuck. The graphics are relaxing and not garish and are pleasant to view over long periods of time. In conclusion: A well constructed and presented App which is well worth trying! 4.95/5.
Love it! The ads aren't too bad. They never block the view of the game and force you to wait 5 seconds before you can close them so you can continue like some games. And it is easy on memory and the processor, so you don't need to have the latest greatest phone to play it without having problems
This game has been so fun! It took me a bit to get the hang of it but I really enjoy it. I am still currently on the easy puzzles and I am really loving it. I like that they're automatically timed and that it times how long you're working on the puzzle not the time it takes for you to finish after you start, so if you play for two minutes, close it out, and open it an hour later the time is at two minutes not an hour and two minutes. I love that. I would definitely recommend this game.
I been doing Kakuro for close to 50 years (they used to call it cross sums). I like having different levels. Easy is nice for when you don't want to think but still want something to do. You can get more challenging ones in book format but on the cell is more convenient
Feature that should be added is... Make it so you can hold down the eraser button to lock it on so you don't have to hit it for every block you want to erase. Pretty annoying when you want to erase a majority of the board... Good, otherwise. Maybe more than 600 boards per level?
adding is easy. logic is hard. the app has tons different setups to play. you are probably done with a difficulty you can complete in 5-10 minutes consistently. great if you like logic puzzles. there us an option to see an answer. make sure to keep it off to get better at solving them!
This is a great game and have enjoyed playing it for many years. App works great, smooth running and quick loading! Very few ads, which is great plus can avoid them by playing offline! Great way to pass time and keep the mind sharp!
A truly amazing logical game! Well made, with countless levels of different difficulties! The only downside is that when you restart a level it doesn't reset the timer, but that's okay.
There are 5 levels from easy to expert & 600 games at each. I've downloaded it 5 times & when I get to level 600 I'll do it again. Fantastic game with the big bonus of boosting math skills.
A decent amount of the challenging and extreme games do not solve. I'm not sure if these puzzles were computer generated, or checked by hand before publishing to the app. I wouldn't recommend because you will waste time trying to figure out what isn't working, but the error is in the app itself
Good but can't change settings. You get annoying 'clapping' bar that covers most of the screen whilst trying to play, which happens every time you put a number in, which is v annoying having to wait for this to clear. I'd rather the option to remove this.
such a great game!! you build your mental muscle in your strategy as well as your counting, adding, and subtracting skills. it's addictive and exciting! but, you need to update it so that we can have an account so we don't lose our levels in case the app gets deleted or we add the app to another device
Superb. I do a few if these each night before bed as a wind-down to empty my mind. The only improvements I could suggest would be to raise the number input pad a litle higher above the bottom of the screen (too low to use if tablet is rested on soft surface, like a cushion, or my gut) and the ability to select your own clour screen (the world is basically too bright for me so I prefer dark colour schemes). Other than that this is a perfect Kakuro.
chalenging and satisfying. commercials so far ok. love that i can play any level i want, they are unlocked, so if i get stuck, i can play different one, dont have to play the same one over and over again to continue. THANKS FOR THAT! everyone who like logic puzzles, enjoy!
Lovely interface, smooth responsiveness, straightforward buttons. Nicely done! This game is a great brain challenge. Bonus: ads are unobtrusive. Imagine that! :) The closest thing to a glitch is that occasionally a puzzle in the "hard" section feels like it's "easy." (Makes me feel super smart, which isn't entirely bad, lol.)
