PeopleFun Sudoku review

PeopleFun Sudoku is for players who treat each grid as a score to beat. The app offers thousands of free classic 9x9 puzzles in Easy, Medium, Hard and Expert, and awards points for speed, accuracy and every row, column and block you complete. Runs count how many puzzles you solve without breaking your streak, and Game Center leaderboards let you compare scores and achievements with friends and players worldwide. Pencil notes, hints, undo and auto-check are there when you want help and can be switched off for a cleaner challenge. The board is designed to be readable on iPhone and iPad. With 665,000 ratings on the US App Store it is one of the most rated sudoku apps. The listing does not describe a dedicated daily puzzle mode, and the optional Ads Free Subscription shows $2.99 without a stated billing period.
