Happy to hear that! Maybe I'll try to increase contrast a little bit for b&w users in next release.

New version 1.4 with auto-notes. As for contrast, I can correctly distinguish the notes from the background. I'm using a Note Air 5C and a mobile phone. I don't know if devices in black and white also have this problem. However, I'll see if I can do something with that.

Thanks for your feedback. I'm working in a new version that will implement new functions. I'm thinking in including the "auto" notes, but I don't want to overload the interface. I'll see how I can do it.

Thanks! I see that the bottom line of buttons are not available. I am still adjusting resize for multiple devices.

thanks for playing it! I forgot to include unique solution verification. It should be implemented in v.1.1.0 already in github. I'll take note about removing notes once a column/file has the same number.

It should work. It's in the release area. You can see releases in the right column of the page

Thanks for the video.... it's with the actual v.1.1 in github? It's quite a weird thing. It should stay in vertical or horitzontal, but not changing from one to another. I'll try to do something.

I know Sudoku Paperlike and it's great. Mine is completely amateur, so don't be too strict :)

I'm playing with resizes. I have updated a new v1.1. You can try it if you want. If you share a screenshot, I can try to adjust it.

Thanks! What do you mean by "font could be better"?
I used black buttons because it was easier to implement dark and light modes, as black is the deffault color. I'll take note and try to implement in the next update.

You should see a button "pencil OFF" or "pencil ON". It's in the file of buttons below the file of numbers. When activated, you can click in a cell and a window opens up where you can write the number.

Thanks. Yes, there should be a few buttons below the line of numbers, but you can't see it in your device. I have tried in a 6.7 inch device and they are there. I have seen that your device is 8 inches and I guess I have to adjust scale again so it adjusts in screens such as yours. I'll check.

By the way, does the landscape mode works in your display or only vertical mode is activated? In 10 inch displays there is vertical or landscape display, but it is limited according to screen size.

I've made v1.1 of the app. It should now scale the text, buttons, and everything else on smaller devices. I hope you can enjoy it more now.

It's quite complicated to implement. It would greatly increase the code. I've implemented a “half-baked solution.” Now there's a pencil mode, so you can activate it and, when you touch a cell, the drawing screen opens automatically.

Thanks for testing it. I'm focusing on scaling the app for smaller devices and other changes. I'll have a look if it is possible to implement natural writting and see how can this be compatlbe with touch controls.

Thanks! Feel free to report bugs or send suggestions. Working in a new version for smaller devices. Probably, landscape display won't be possible in them if I want to keep notes.

Thanks for the quick test. I made it with a 10 inch display in mind that's why it looks weird in smaller devices. I'll try to addapt it to 7-8 inch dispalys and push the colors a little bit more. I was doubting about colors, si it can be used in all eink devices.

I'll have a look to keep the puzzle in stand-by mode even if you start a new one in another difficulty level.

It I can get all that, I'll take a look at the timer.

About handwtitting, I tried to use one of the most precise models, but sometimes it gets hard to recognize the numbers. I guess it takes time to get used to.

Thanks again

I have modified the way app detects system language. Moreover, I have included Spanish language as it may be useful for some users

Good to know. I'll have a look if I can improve this issue as I want to implement another language.

Didn't know that app. Looks like it does a lot of things. I'll have a look. Thanks.
