Product Description:

What is Sudoku? It is a brainteaser coming from Japan, very popular in many countries around the world. There are scientific researches describing the mathematics behind Sudoku, and many teachers recommend it as improving logical thinking, but foremost it is a very enjoyable and intelligent game.


There is only one very simple rule: Fill in the grid so that every column, every row and each of the nine 3 x 3 boxes contains all digits from 1 through 9. Sounds easy? Try it out!


The aim of Sudoku Companion is to make solving Sudoku puzzles more convenient. It is very Mac-like and it has all necessary and expected features: multiple undos, notes in each cell, every move is validated, you can save and load a puzzle or print it out and much, much more. Sudoku Companion has also some additional options built in but be careful and use them wisely. They can change simple puzzles into boring ones but at the same time they can help you to concentrate on the strategy when you are solving really difficult Sudokus.


Sudoku Companion won’t solve anything for you, that would ruin all the fun, but it will allow you to enjoy solving Sudokus on your Mac without paper, pencil and bottles of Tipp-Ex.


A new, interesting Sudoku of the Day is available on the Sudoku Companion web site daily.

Sudoku Companion ReviewBackward in usability - Version: 1.4.5, 2/28/2006 01:02PM PST

With 1.4.5's new keystrokes it's hard to play. I used to be able to hold down the option key and move around while I marked things. With the new separation between adding and removing a number form the notes, I now end up pressing CTL then 5 then releasing CTL and moving (possibly after using OPT) and the CTL then 4 then release then move then CTL then 4 then release then move...

Before it was OPT then 5 then move then 4 then move then 4. Lots less press/release. I'm rolling back to 1.4.4.

Sudoku Companion Reviewexcellent software - Version: 1.4.5, 2/27/2006 04:21PM PST

I love this application. It help me practice sodoku. I am now very good player. I like this app as it does not solve the puzzle for you like the other sodoku apps do so it makes it an enjoyable game.

I like to take a newspaper sodoku puzzle and copy it into this app so it helps when making notes so as not cause a mess on the newspaper and once the puzzle is complete you can copy the numbers into the paper so your friends are impressed you finish hard puzzles.

Well worth the money.

I've tried them all - this is the best. The only negative to this one is that it is the most addictive software I've had on my system for years. Great interface. Be sure you read the instructions. I missed notes the first time through.
