iPhone Sudoku Grab

With Sudoku Grab you can capture any Sudoku puzzle - from a newspaper, a book, even from your computer screen - using the iPhone's camera!

With the new live grab feature you can just point the camera at a puzzle - once it's turns green just tap the down arrow on the puzzle in the gray area and the puzzle is grabbed! You can even just show the solution in real time.

For normal grabbing, just take a photograph and Sudoku Grab does the rest.

First it analyzes the photograph to find the location of the puzzle - then it extracts the puzzle from picture and uses optical character recognition to identify the numbers - after that you're ready to play. Or if you're feeling lazy, you can just hit the solve button. This is one of those features that you just want to show people.

You can grab as many puzzles as you want, the puzzle database has a handy "tagging" system that lets you quickly grab and tag so you know exactly where your puzzles came from.

Sudoku Grab also comes with built in puzzles, so you've always got something to play.

You can:

  • Automatically pencil in all the possible numbers
  • Use smart pencils to save a bit of time
  • Make pencil marks in 3 different colors
  • Stuck? Just hit the hint button to fill in the current square or a random one
  • Unlimited undo
  • Email the puzzle to a friend - show them how clever you are with your time!
  • Fully configure the app just tap the gears icon on the main screen.
  • Current puzzle is saved automatically on exit - just go to the puzzle book and choose "Current Game"
