We are pleased to announce our first major iOS app, Sudoku Touch. You may be asking, what makes this Sudoku special so here are 3 points:
1. It has the simplest and most intuitive interface of any Sudoku application on any platform incorporating advanced handwriting recognition and gestures. To enter an answer it's as simple as selecting the cell and drawing a number on the screen. It can't be easier!
2. It has a beautiful design with Retina graphics on iPhone and iPad and an extremely high attention to detail. Basically, every other Sudoku on iOS looks like they were designed on the back of a napkin when compared to it. We hope you find it as eye pleasing as we do.
3. You're supporting eSports. The app is a tiny 99c, a third the cost of a cup of coffee, but unlike coffee after the first use it won't have disappeared. In fact, if you're careful, you can use it for an entire lifetime!
So please, spread the word about our great little app by tweeting, Facebooking or emailing so that people young and old can experience the way Sudoku is meant to be played. We promise they won't be disappointed. Thanks in advance!
By the way, Shiny Things is a new sub-brand of The Little App Factory that is exclusively making mobile apps.

We won't be.
We just attended a conference where several developers who had ported their apps to Android spoke. Every single one of them said do not port your apps to Android as it is a waste of time. One of the developers was a very large company as well! We just can't afford to spend tens of thousands of dollars porting a program if there will be no sales.

Yeah I understand this point, there is so much content in Google play right now it's rediculous... But yeah, sadly I can't contribute to this other than mentioning about it to a few friends etc. as I don't have an iPhone/iPad myself. I wish you the best of luck anyways!

I'd love to have this myself, but alas, I only have a terrible Android phone Looks amazing though, great job on it! Sudoku is one of the most fun timewasters I know of.

Yeah sudoku is great, and this having the difficulty level 'evil' I think it would actually prove to be a challenge. But my android is not terrible, HTC phones are awesomesauce Edit: need to add that back when I was 5 in kindergarten I used to teach the other kids basic adding and substracting stuff so yeah, evil sounds like a challenge
This looks awesome! I have been waiting a long time for a good sudoku app, and now I get to support TL. And it even has iPad compatibility. I will buy this as soon as possible!
I'm loving the app so far. It's an intuitive system that I can't believe hasn't been done before. As a huge Sudoku fan, you've made my day much better (and my wallet a little lighter)! Excellent work!
Good job with the app. This is exactly what I was looking for. Not the dumb "Okay, hit the square. Then his the number. Wait, you forgot to select pencil. Okay you clicked on an app add while trying to hit pencil. Cancel back to the game. Hit pencil right this time. Select number. Okay next square"
Kid you not, this was my last sudoku app. This one is much better. Thanks! (And I donated some writing to another so I feel a special connection haha)
