Not a true Kakuro game. Waste of time and money.

Seems poorly made, and on occasion broken. Several of the levels have multiple endings. On the 4X4 I found at least three identical levels. I have done a lot of Kakuro in puzzle books and magazines, and these are really slapdash. Cannot recommend.

If you love Kakuros, DON'T buy this game.
These puzzles have multiple solutions, no pencil mode, initial numbers seem random.
A real Kakuro (or Sudoku for that matter) should not be a guessing game, but should lead the player towards the one and only valid solution by carefully laying out the prefilled numbers at the start.

Puzzles often have multiple solutions, more trial-and-error than deductive puzzling.

I'm enjoying the challenge. It's challenging even with the hints.

Lacking ability to "pencil" in multiple numbers for future reference. Pretty much makes harder kakuro impossible. Not worth 79p.

If you love Kakuros, DON'T buy this game.
The puzzles suffer from multiple solutions, which defeats the purpose of a proper Kakuro. There's no pencil mode, making it frustrating to keep track of possible numbers, and the initial clues seem random rather than strategically placed.
A well-designed Kakuro (or Sudoku) should guide the player toward a single valid solution through logic, not guesswork. Unfortunately, this game fails in that regard.

False name, this looks like Kakuro but it is just a poor imitation.
Kakuro is a puzzle using logic and maths that looks like a crossword. Through a process of elimination you can deduce which number combinations are use and how to get the single solution.
This "thing" only involves throwing combinations of number in the grid until eventually one of the multiple solutions pops up.

This game is completely broken. Two things that don't work in this game and the reason you should NOT buy it. First, every time you win a level you have to exit to the level selection and select the next level, there's no NEXT button.
The second is that doesn't matter the numbers you place, as long as don't surpass the limit value, YOU WIN. You don't need to do the math, you can place 1, 2 and 3 at any place and it works, it just works.
Here, take a look at this:

Poorly coded (doesn't check the sum, just whether it's greater than this) and very unsatisfying layouts, i. e. when all sums have multiple combinations or the grid is divided into independed sections because there is only one cell connecting sections.
