User Reviews

Chess Sudoku is praised for its well-crafted, challenging puzzles incorporating chess rules and an intuitive interface from a trusted creator. Users appreciate the educational hints and unique gameplay. However, many express concerns over the limited puzzle quantity relative to the price, occasional inaccurate or confusing hints, app performance issues like crashes and slow responsiveness, cramped UI causing misclicks without confirmation, and high battery usage. Overall, it's a rewarding but somewhat limited and occasionally problematic app for serious Sudoku fans.

Pros

Puzzles are well-designed, challenging, and offer a fresh twist by incorporating chess rules into classic Sudoku.
Hints are generally well-written, guiding users through logic rather than revealing answers outright, enhancing the learning experience.
Interface is simple, user-friendly, and similar to other quality apps from Cracking the Cryptic, making the app enjoyable to use.
Puzzles teach new solving techniques and provide a rewarding experience for Sudoku enthusiasts.
The app is from a reputable creator known for quality puzzle content, increasing user trust and satisfaction.

Cons

The app contains a limited number of puzzles (around 40-45), which many users feel is insufficient given the $5 price point.
Hints can be inaccurate, unhelpful, or assume a certain solving order, sometimes leading to confusion and frustration.
Performance issues such as slow menu transitions and app crashes have been reported by multiple users.
Some UI elements are cramped or hard to use on certain devices, leading to occasional misclicks without confirmation prompts.
Battery consumption is high compared to expectations, which can be a concern for mobile users.

Recent reviews

had a good time with the puzzles smart hints need work. there are several times the smart hints gave logic that was inaccurate to the board situation or, on at least two occasions, flat out wrong (says there's a hidden single but # is flagged as incorrect).

100 specially designed setups. They use different bits of logic that taught me new tricks to solving them. I'd say they took me an average of 30 minutes each. I appreciated the smart hints that take the pencil marks into account and led my thinking, not just gave me info I already had or hadn't gotten to, yet. I wish there were more queen puzzles and less king ones. I'm sure you could get a lot more puzzles for less money, but I consider it a payment for all the joy I get from their videos.
