Good Sudoku for iOS is a new app that’s launched today from veteran game developer Zach Gage aiming to reinvigorate the digital version of the popular puzzle game. The app comes with a thoughtful approach including AI-powered hints to have fun learning the game, tools to eliminate busywork, over 70,000 puzzles for everyone from beginner to expert, option to import puzzles, and more.
If you search for Sudoku on the App Store, you’ll find a long list of options to play the classic puzzle game on iPhone and iPad. However, developers Zach Gage and Jack Schlesinger felt all of the existing digital Sudoku options were missing the mark with a constrained experience and don’t actually teach newcomers how to play (and love) the classic game.
Good Sudoku has arrived with the goal of redefining the digital Sudoku experience by solving major pain points, innovating with AI, and also offering flexibility like being able to import your own puzzles. Another fun feature is Good Sudoku including a global leaderboard for the daily puzzles.
The tools to reduce busywork are optional and the AI-based hints offer a valuable way to keep growing your Sudoku skills. Zach and Jack shared more on the decision to offer reduced counting tools:
And going beyond the massive 70,000 puzzles included, Good Sudoku features the ability to import them with the custom puzzle mode. This also includes the option to easily share with friends.
Good Sudoku is available now as a free download from the App Store for iPhone and iPad with a $3.99 one-time in-app purchase unlocking the full game.
