Hi,

Has Jason abandoned the Android app?

Last update was 9DEC15.

Love the app but have a feeling it will not function when Android OS
updates in the future...

No new features are planned, but I am still maintaining the app, though slowly.

[Tonyco55]

Doesn't really need new features, just updating for the newer Android versions as they come out....

Thanks Jason!

Hello,

I also cannot suggest improvements because it is already excellent!
IMHO one of the best Apps available for Sudoku.

Best regards,

Can it be installed on Android without using G00gle?

I have been having a small issue with this app since I have updated my Android phone.

App was working fine before updating the phone, but since the phone has been updated
From then on, whenever I try to open it, it starts glitching and crashing.

Any help would be appreciated.

I checked out Enjoy Sudoku app.

I wasn't personally impressed with it. I think Sudoku 10,000 is a better app, but it's not an app designed to teach sudoku. There are far better apps.

But as a straight, no frills sudoku app, Sudoku 10,000 pretty much covers nearly any feature you think that should be on every well designed sudoku app.

That being said, Enjoy Sudoku hits all the necessary points in an app. Can't remember offhand how well it teaches Sudoku though.

Sudoku 10,000 is geared toward the more serious player, so it's less user friendly than most apps.

Most sudoku apps are geared for a more casual player so the interface is more friendly. Not an "everything plus the kitchen sink" app.

if your new to Sudoku, then Enjoy Sudoku is a good entryway, and could easily be the only sudoku app you'll ever need.

I do want to mention that the hint feature on Sudoku 10,000 is utterly useles. A bit of a critical sticking point in my opinion. I sort of recommend it for beginners, but only for it's gentle curve in difficulty. It sorta ramps up about Advanced 4 though.

If there was a single feature request:

Make it so people can save thier game moves and save it as a text file.

There are occasionsal students and researchers that are desperate to figure out how differently skilled players solve test puzzles.
What techniques a more skilled player would use compared to less skilled players. There are many sudoku problems that are, like, 2.5SE that can be solved with trivial techniques, yet have ample room to use more advanced techniques that seriously speed up the time it taked to solve the puzzle.
