Great App, Great Support
KenKen is my “Go To” app. I almost only work them on my iPad and primarily 9X Medium level, which I usually solve between 15-30 minutes. I don’t like spending much more time than that on a single puzzle, which is why I don’t do higher level puzzles on a regular basis. I limit my iPhone to 7X Med because of the size of the screen on bigger puzzles. Great for killing time in the doctor’s office. I find KenKen a great way to “clear my head” when I’m overthinking a problem at home or work. After 2 or 3 puzzles, the solution to the problem at hand seems to “pop” into my head. I’ve had a few problems with earlier releases, but the support was great and they addressed them quickly.
MonkeyDave22,
Enjoyable and addictive game, but one sad issue...
I ways introduced to KenKen puzzles at school a few years ago and completely fell in love with them and would always do them. I later on found this app and it was perfect for a while, but then ran into an issue. The app only allows you to play 50 puzzles for free, then you have to pay to get more puzzles. I mean, I was super happy while I had those 50 free puzzles, but now I’ve used them all up and can no longer play anymore puzzles, causing the app to no longer have a purpose for me. I would love to buy more puzzles for this, but my parents wouldn’t want to pay for 30 or more puzzles just for it to be 3 days later and having to buy more because I’ve used them all up again. I’ve tried to delete and reinstall the app to see if it would just reset everything and I could just pick 50 new puzzles to do and not care about my old data, but when I reinstalled the app it kept my old data and I still couldn’t play more puzzles.
I want to continue playing this game, but I can’t without purchasing more puzzles, which isn’t really an option for me at this point.

Galactic Hitchhiker,
Privacy issue: KenKen Classic reads your clipboard
Beginning with iOS 14, I get an iOS popup ("KENKEN pasted from ") whenever KenKen Classic version 2.7 moves to the foreground, telling me that KenKen Classic is reading my clipboard. This is even though I have not tried to paste anything into it. Since KenKen Classic hasn't been updated in about a year, it has been doing this to all of us for at least that long, and silently before iOS 14 started telling us. I'm sure that we all copy and paste information that is no business of KenKen's developer, yet this developer has been silently slurping it all up until recently, for undocumented purposes. Because of this, I am deleting this app until 1) the developer KenKen Puzzle, LLC comes clean on this practice, tells us precisely why and for what purpose it has been doing this, and posts an update that fixes this privacy problem; or 2) Apple releases an updated iOS that gives us the ability to block this type of behavior. (2) may not be enough, given that KenKen Puzzle, LLC has already abused its trust. Do you copy passwords or other sensitive text to your clipboard? Do you copy photos with sensitive GPS location information in them? If so, then you should worry about this too.
AIHReview,
Many games can't be solved without guessing.
The games are machine generated, and many (at the expert level, at least) require guessing to solve. Kenken is a LOGIC game, not a guessing game. The UI is also frustratingly bad, requiring multiple taps to do simple things like change note color, and it's easy to change notes inadvertantly.
The developer's response is simply not true. I've played several games, for example, where the last 10 moves or so could be played out two ways, both of which yielded a correct result, but only one of which was deemed as a win. Several games were simply not solvable without playing out a guess until it failed, then backing out to the decision and choosing the other alternative. That's not "considering," it's guessing. No machine-generated game should be posted if it hasn't been solved by a human player who can't project 20 moves out. Also, the UI becomes more and more frustrating over time.
At present, this is the only alternative on the app store, given that the older (and excellent) "Will Short" app doesn't run under the most recent iOS version, but it's not a great alternative. I'll move to a competitor in a heartbeat if an alternative appears in the store.

Great game, unlimited subscription issues
I love this game - totally addictive. Great features to help with game playing, but I have issues with my unlimited subscription with makes it feel less worth the $ I pay for it. The app is supposed to auto update with more games once you’ve completed them, presumably I play a 9x9 easiest +-x/ and the app should re-up me with a new game of that same structure and difficulty. It doesn’t work that way. Many a times I’ve had to reset game data so my puzzles “refresh” but I end up playing the exact games I’ve done before which makes it too simple. I’ve reached out to app support team but they just tell me to wait until I see the prompt to “download more games” which never appears to refresh the games I’ve played...even if I “restart” the game and complete it again. Please fix this issue! #5years on #unlimitedgames subscription with no fix! 😤
Bonfire98A,
One of my favs, but could use improvement
KenKen is my favorite number puzzle (way better than Sudoku), and this app is my favorite way to solve them. However, I have some suggestions that would earn the app a fifth star from me. 1. Fix the undo button - sometimes it will only go back a few moves and become unresponsive, or won’t undo any moves at all. 2. Add a save and revert function - if I get stuck on a puzzle and want to try what-if logic, I could save the puzzle in its current state and try something, then revert back to where I saved it as needed. I’m currently stuck on a very hard 9x9 expert puzzle and am at my wits’ end. 3. Add no-op puzzles to the app for paying users; I’ve always wanted to try them! 4. Add a dark mode for play at night and/or to save battery.
drscar,
Fun, but limited
Well, I’ve finished the game, and so I feel completely confident to give this 3-star review.
When I say that I finish the game, I actually mean that I finish the game. There are no more puzzles left for me to do, despite paying for a “unlimited option.”
The game is certainly fine, but it has some significant limitations. For instance, I purchased the “unlimited” package, only to find out that the games are not in fact unlimited. So, I have no idea what the developers intend to do once the subscription runs out, because if it is truly unlimited there should have been more games to be downloaded. There is no reason to buy another package, since more games would have already been included, right? This is quite disappointing.
As far as gameplay is concerned, probably the biggest problem with this application is the fact that the undo option is completely broken. If you accidentally typed in the number, and hit the undo option, it will backtrack anywhere from 2 to 3 moves and highlight a different square, and often switch from pencil marks to entry mode on a whim. This becomes abnormally silly and frustrating when you’re trying to do a timed test.
Overall, it’s good and fun, but ultimately falls short.

WorldWideWeber,
Like the very specific difficulty levels
This app is way better than the others because it allows me to pick puzzles not just by number of squares and operations but also different difficulty levels for each combination of the two. Very much dislike how the cursor jumps around between boxes when toggling between notes and entering in numbers which leads to lots of errors, many of which I don’t notice. If I didn’t like how it handles choosing difficulty levels so well, I’d never use this app again. I tried looking at others. They all have better UIs, but no where near as awesome difficulty settings. I really wish you’d add a setting that let me keep the cursor in the same place.
faxon,
Ok, but...
The app is fun and works well. Two big problems for me
First, there is no such thing as unlimited puzzles even if you pay for it. I’ve gone through all the 6x6 medium +-*/ puzzles twice. Tech support said to delete and reinstall. Doesn’t help. Unlimited is just flat out not true
Second, I really don’t like the matrix showing all the puzzles of every type at every level (including solved puzzles unless you deselect). Don’t see how it’s useful. None of the online sites do this. And in my case when I have to start back at the beginning when I run out can be very frustrating. Usually the app keeps track of where you are when you stop and start. But not always. Scrolling through hundreds of puzzles when the app has lost my place is a pain

Ted in MN,
OK but problematic
I enjoy playing the game, and it is relatively easy to do so using this app. However, I have had innumerable problems with the app reloading games. I pay for unlimited games; but the app frequently fails to reload games—I end up limited to playing games of only easy or hard levels (there are supposed to be five levels of difficulty), only receiving games with certain modes (e.g., not loading any games other than all +, or all +-, etc.). When I have asked for assistance in fixing this, Customer Service suggests deleting and reloading the app, which has often ended up severing the app from my paid account, so that no new games reload. Reloading the app recently has meant that all of the puzzles I solved before are reloaded (as solved; I can’t even replay them)—with no new ones. So I am left with no puzzles to play.
