Very fun, and free!!. This is a fun numerical puzzle game. The only suggestion I have (and it's not a big one, especially since the game is free!) is to divide the puzzles into easy, medium, hard, etc. Otherwise, thank you for offering this app to everyone!

Slow. Very big lag between the moment you press a number and the number showing up on the screen

Should be 5 star. It pains me to rate this 3 stars. It should be 5+ stars but minus one for the lag in entering multiple numbers which leads to missed entries and minus one for no option to remove ads. I make no exception for any app on this last point and throw away many such apps.

Love this logic puzzle. I love playing this game. However, it would be easier if we could have a row of penciled in numbers and the final number. That would make me give it “5” rating.

Love it but...... This game loses track of your progress as soon as it closes, so unless you remember what level you left off on you will end up playing the same ones over. Fix that feature and I’ll fix my stars

Fun. Starts off easy and you can work your way to more difficult.

Excellent Futoshiki App!. If you are looking for Futoshiki puzzles, with a full range from easy to the ridiculous 9x9 monsters, then this app is terrific! It does not try to do anything more - there aren’t any sudoku, kakuro, or any other types of puzzles- so if you are looking for anything other than Futoshiki puzzles then this is not for you. Here’s what I like about this app: • Those 9x9 puzzles are so challenging that they take me an hour to finish • It is very easy and intuitive to make notes of the possible values for each square. As the puzzles get more challenging, then those notes are essential • The app will automatically warn you if happen to enter the same integer twice in any row or column. • The app simply works. I have yet to encounter any bugs. • It’s free, without any in-app purchases or mandatory commercials! Banner ads across the top are a small price to pay for a quality app. I hope the developers add more puzzles in the future!

Errors. Love the game, I think it would be better if it had a “check all errors” option. It doesn’t have to go off the second you make an error but it would be nice to see what is right or wrong along the way

Decent, but slow.. I would really like this except is horribly slow. There’s a significant lag in touching anything. Makes it nearly unplayable. Also, it would be nice if the numbers at the bottom changed color when they were finished (correct or not). Really hope the responsiveness gets cranked up soon.

Slow, and no check for correctness. I agree with others. The 2 things for me that would improve this app are a button to check for correctness, and a faster response when inputting potential numbers in squares. Love the game concept…all things logic are fun to me. Please make these fixes before I get frustrated and delete the app. Thanks

Fun game!. I love to play these kinds of games right before bed. It helps me to relax :-) This one is fun and makes me think. Also, thank you for fixing it so that it remembers our progress. No complaints now! :-)

Mind sharpening. I’ve always been on the lookout for something a bit more challenging than Sudoku and I’ve found it!!

Bugs and needs features. The game sometimes crashes (especially at levels 7, 8 and 9) when I complete a puzzle. If I return to it, the puzzle is now about half completed. Features needed: A button to pencil in all values to a square would be helpful in the larger puzzles. A feature to remove all pencil marks in the row or column where I’ve placed a value would make the game less tedious.

Ok, but could use improvement. Check out KENKEN Classic for better UI. Would be great if you can add some of those features like number elimination and placing numbers for multiple cells simultaneously .

Enjoyable with a few suggestions. I generally enjoy playing the game. I agree with another user, however, to the frustration of slow response in placing numbers. Also, I’d like there the better some kind of ‘hint’ button.

Amazingly great game!. This challenging game levels from easy puzzles to expert level so you’ll never get frustrated or bored and is just about perfect. There are NO ADS! For me, there is no lag. It has no bugs that I notice and has 2000 puzzles per level! If you enjoy logic and number puzzles this is the one for you!

A nice challenge. I agree with others. A button to check for errors would be helpful. I also like that the potential numbers don’t automatically disappear, BUT a pencil and pen option would be better than having to cancel out everything to get to the right answer.

Disappointing. I love Futoshiki and I like the way this app plays it. I don’t like how it has seemed to get slower and slower when I select a number. My biggest complaint is after an update (a few months back), it no longer saves my games every time I open the app it shows that I have played zero games.

TAKE THE MOVING ADS OFF THE TOP. I love the game, but the ads moving around are very distracting. I can’t play unless I cover them with tape.

Great game with a glitch. I love this game. Just recently when I leave a game and try to come back to it later, all the < and > symbols are gone, although my numbers remain. Hope this gets fixed soon.

Why so slow now?. I used to love this app, but after the latest update (August 2019) it slowed down so hard! There’s a delay now between selecting a number and seeing it in the square. I have to wait a beat or two between each number and I find it skips a lot of numbers I typed. I used to like playing a quick game, but now it’s just frustrating. BTW, I waited to post this review because I thought maybe it was slow due to my old iPhone 7, but I just got an iPhone X and it’s still just as slow. I would have given this five stars in the past for clean, quick game play with no distracting graphics and no waiting for ads. I might have downgraded it to four stars because my progress would be erased randomly. But now it gets only three stars because it’s so painfully slow. Please make it fast again like it was before the last update!

Sllllooooooow. Takes way too long to work a puzzle because you have to wait 1 second for each button press to register

The only Futoshiki option. I love Futoshiki, this app has lots of options for games, and that is the good. Things that need improvement: 1) needs a way to make pencil marks, not only by multiply putting in numbers, but as a standalone function 2) needs a way to see errors, or ask for a hint, or some way to not have to start all over when an error is made 3) every time the app has an update, all my completed games reset. It shouldn’t lose data because of updates

UI looks good, UX is sloooow. The puzzles seem good and the buttons at the bottom lets you easily select multiple numbers “ie pencil in”. But the selecting a square or tapping numbers does not work quickly. You have to wait multiple seconds to choose a square, select a number, or deselect a number. Uninstalling because it game is too slow to be enjoyable.

Well done. Well made, clean design. This is my first time playing any Futoshiki; it’s challenging but I like it

Needs pencil. This is very nice game/app I only wish you could have a pencil mode (small number) where it could be one number. The way it is now you have to enter two numbers. Sometimes you want to see if a number would work but not lose what you have already solved.

I like this a lot but some features needed. I love this game. Its easy to pick up and has tons of levels. I also like how many harde-grids that it has. However, it could definitely use a way to see errors or ask for a hint so you don't get so deep into a 9x9 grid and have an error and have to start completely over again. That gets a little frustrating.

Unsolvable. I purchased your Futoshiki Solver for a few I couldn’t figure out and it tells me #315 in the 5x5 version is unsolvable. Would be nice to be able to contact you for a fix. Then the rating would be at least a 4.

Great game & app!. I like the app & interface. Only wish they'd let you play in a mode that doesn't highlight duplicates.

Can’t save progress. I lose my progress every time the app closes. Also it would be nice to have a separate “pencil” option instead of just entering multiple numbers.

Slow after update. Great game! Fun and challenging at times. Although, after the recent update the game is slow to react to multiple options putting into 1 square. Slows down the pace and makes it no longer fun.

Great App. I like using this app, I’ll echo another’s comment saying that a button to check if all current values are correct would be nice. Also, if there was a different mode to pencil in potential numbers and one to put the actual number, I find myself getting confused when removing all potentials and making sure just the actual one stays.

Reporting an error. Wouldn’t do this here if you had a way of doing so from the app. Level 23 in the 4x4 is not solvable. Not as frustrating here as it will be on more difficult levels. Please correct and check others.

Need a hint once in a while. It would be great to be able to get a hint once in awhile. I love playing this but have restarted several because I think I have something incorrect and have no way of knowing. Even a button to let you know if there are errors.

Fun Game. I really like this game which I know as sudoku. It’s fun and has different levels of game play and grid arrangements. I have the game on an iPhone XS Max and this app does mark my played levels being played. Great for those looking for a leisurely game. I love that it doesn’t take up so much space on my phone.

Awesome game and simple interface. No complaints here, this app is simple and gets the job done!

9x9 level 1….. anyone have a problem here?. Having trouble, is there a glitch?

Love it.... However, it keeps losing my progress and doesn't "remember" what levels I've completed.

Great game. I recently started playing this on Cool Math Games but eventually discovered it was on the App Store. This version is honestly amazing. There are tons of well made levels, ranging from beginner to expert.

Fun game. I play this every day. It would be perfect if it would delete the chosen penciled numbers in the row and column when one gets used.

Quick and Fun. I am enjoying this game. I like the choice of levels, and you can move from level to level whenever you feel like having a harder or easier game. I thought the larger games would be really difficult, but once you catch on, they are not. Others have mentioned that the game does not keep track of their progress, but I haven’t experienced that.

Active mind. I like this puzzle game. The adds are not offensive or annoying and the puzzles keep my mind active and occupied when I’m waiting for something to finish.

Great puzzles, buggy app. I love how large the database of puzzles is—that’s an amazing feature. Some bugs: the level chooser screen is very, very laggy on iOS, and the puzzles a little laggy. The size chooser screen is largely fine. The level chooser screen also doesn’t preserve which levels you’ve completed between times the app is closed for any length of time. This is a bit frustrating, as you have to remember where you were and scroll (slowly because of lag) down to select by memory. Also, not a bug, but I’ll echo another user’s review saying that the modes to mark a number and to mark possible numbers are a little confusing. If you’re switching back and forth between using those two strategies, it’s a bit of mental gymnastics to remember to select everything but the number you want from the potentials but select the number you want for a blank square. It just ends up taking longer and is a bit annoying. I’m sure that goes away with time, but it could be smoother to start. Otherwise, great puzzles, and love the game!

Thank you!. Thank you for adding the undo option! Was taking a pic to restore before. You guys are awesome! Love this app!

So fun!. Thank you so much for making this app. Really enjoy the game. The only small thing is somethings I wish that I had the option to only pencil in one number into the square. Other than that it’s flawless!

Fun game but errors. I’m enjoying the game and the logical way to solve. However, I have found many errors with the arrows which are supposed to aid in the puzzle completion. This complicates the problem solving and makes for guessing “which arrow will be incorrect, if any, with this puzzle?” That’s really frustrating.

Simple. Love all your puzzle games. Plenty of levels, no annoying ads in between puzzles, and a simple layout. Great job. Appreciate it.

Fun & Challenging. Love how this game is challenging but not so difficult that you can’t solve it.

Fun but could be improved. After putting multiple possibilities I don’t like that you have to enter the numbers it isn’t rather than what it is. It’s a little slow to react. Otherwise good. Love these types of puzzles. It would be fun to add a timer to try and beat your own time in a level.

Slow number update. Game is great fun but response time on hitting numbers is so slow it misses numbers you hit. This is ruining game and if it continues will have to quit playing.

Improvements. -Need to press too hard/long to select a square, make it easier -Number should fade or change colour to signify if it’s completed

Good improvements to the game. Great game that requires thought similar to sudoku, recent improvements include highlighting of inserted numbers to make it easier to see what’s missing in a row, suggest it would be good to also highlight the smaller note numbers as well. Great game.

Simple but effective. Exactly what I was looking for. Simple and effective.

Incredible. An amazing, genuinely free puzzle game. Heaps of puzzles, no fees and only a small ad banner. Amazing woek

Love it. It’s a great variation to sudoku- I’m loving! My only comment is the buttons are slow to respond - fix this and you’re great!

Love it. Addicted but buttons are too slow!

Great game!. Hi guys, I just have to say this is genuinely one of the best simple games I’ve ever played. No ads, straightforward and fun!! I like the other games they offer too, highly recommend 👍👍 so many levels to play too, it’s heavenly. Thank you developers you’re doing great 😊 The only thing I can recommend is different game modes/twists alongside the regular levels, that could spice things up a little.

Really well made up. Great app. Very smooth and easy to use.

Fun to play, but SLOW. I love this game, it’s really fun and gets you thinking! I love that there are so many games at each level - I’ll be sad to finish them all. A bit like sudoku, but more logic than pattern. I’ve played sudoku to death, so it’s nice to have a change. Thanks! The buttons (numbers, clicking etc) are a bit slow to react, which can be frustrating if you get a kick out of being fast too. If you could speed that up it would help. Also, I suggest two additional buttons/choices: - a “fill” button, which inserts all the available numbers into the cell. - a “clear” button, which removes all the numbers from the cell. Both these save on the amount of clicking required, which we already mentioned was a bit slow. Hope you create more!

Terrible. Tried a few of the puzzles to find the numbers all in order on a diagonal. Not well created.

Too slow. There’s got to be a better way to pencil in and/or clear all the pencilled numbers in each square than to have to press every single number button, each one taking a little too long to respond. On the 9x9 puzzles it takes way too long.

Great new puzzle. Love the variation on sudoku. And great that you can add as many numbers as you like to each square then use process of elimination. Highly recommended. Yes I, like other reviewers, have found the number buttons a little slow to respond to touch, but that could just be my OS/hardware.

Futoshiki. Excellent jeux, j’adore!

Too constricted. While I appreciate the effort for this, it is more difficult to use than other apps that play this game. There should be a separate row for guess numbers. Using one row makes it too constrained and guess letters should remove extra guess numbers in said rows once a number is chosen as a true number

Addicting. This is a fun game and the bigger puzzles get you thinking more!

Used to be good. This game keeps erasing my progress and it’s so annoying. The first time I was past 300 games each level; the second time I’d made it 70. Would keep playing but there’s no point now.

recent update. I like the “undo” option and that the puzzles open to where I left off so I don’t have to scroll through hundreds of completed puzzles. I do not like how this update has slowed down game play. It takes longer to note possible numbers and to move on to the next puzzle.

Challenging. Like it! . I like doing the challenging level 9s but Would be very helpful if there was a hint button

Great product. I have been enjoying the app. Easy to use however difficult to master.

Avis. J’adore vos grilles de jeux, très bien fait, possibilité de voir si on a fait une erreur, très bien pensé! Pas nécessaire de tourner en rond durant une heure, ce qui est décourageant pi finalement abandonner, avec cette option c’est sécurisant, je l’utilise rarement mais ça fait toute la différence! Félicitations!

notes. ce serait bien qu’il y ait des notes et des chiffres pour reponses finales

Fun game. I like the game. I wish there was a feature to eliminate a given number in a given row/column. Thank you.

Poor interface and I lost all my progress. The actual game is fun to play and solve. The interface of the app is bad. You have to scroll through hundreds of previous played games to get to where you left off. The erasing of all the pencil marks it tedious (it should have the option to over write all the pencil marks with the answer). I went to play and all my previous games that were marked as completed had been erased!

Futoshiki. Good overall, but should have a button to check if you have any mistakes as you go!

Love it but. The game keeps deleting my progress. I want to which ones Ihave finished. Otherwise, great game.

Bonne application. J’ai trouvé le jeu intéressant. On y retrouve des relents du Sudoku. La réflexion est au rendez-vous. Cependant, le jeu peut-être amélioré par rapport aux fonctionnalités: plus de rapidité à l’action sur les touches, possibilité de faire inscrire les chiffres possibles dans les cases surtout lorsque les dimensions de la grille sont plus grandes (7x7 et plus).

Good concept, poor execution.. This is a fun game to play but the apps responsiveness is way too slow.

Very much fun time!. Me enjoy game very very much! You try too, have much fun!

Access clipboard for no reason. App copies data from the clipboard each time it’s opened. Not sure why it’s snooping in there. Recommend deleting it.

Good game!. I posted a thorough review on my puzzle app blog

Sloooow!. Lots of puzzles to play in all different levels. But the gameplay is so slow it’s annoying

Addictive. I would love a way to detect errors.

Love it. Love playing Futoshiki.

Fun game!!!. Having a great time playing it!

Hints. Very happy to have the added hints

Lots of fun. Challenging, but not impossible. Love this game!

Predictable. I played 4 puzzles in the 7x7 grid and they all had a predictable diagonal pattern. :( they weren’t even just the first few either, I skipped around. Definitely hoped for more of a challenge

DARK MODE PLEASE. Seriously. The bright white is hard on the eyes. Dark mode or better yet, multiple colors to choose from.
