Just snap a photograph and it will analyzes the photograph to find the location of the puzzle using optical character recognition to identify the numbers. I snap one of the pictures from the net and it told me some of the numbers in the puzzle is wrong! Amazing!  When your picture is hard to recognize, you have to pull the edges of the green square to location the puzzle so that the app can do its task.

I have played sudoku since its discovery and I had sudoku books and i often play those on the newspaper. This app will make the solving alot easier as i dont need to erase anymore!

I don’t really play Sudoku, but my colleagues played very often. I also saw my colleague killing time during long waiting in the airport playing them. Would love to try it out electronically, and at the same time, snap some sudoku puzzles from my colleagues and challenge them on the spot. That will be real fun.

i’ve tried several sudoku apps, but this is the most interesting. What an unique idea to incorporate camera functionality into a game like this!

Just tried it on my Reader’s Digest Mag, and hell it works flawlessly!!!

Thanks for the promocode!

I love sudoku so much! I play all the time and really enjoy it. This seems really cool as I can take photos of the newspaper ones and play them whenever I like.
