Customer Review: Waste of money
This is not a true touch screen. If you’ve played a Sudoku puzzle on the Internet, you know how easy an electronic game could be - touch the number and then touch the squares where you want the number to go.
Instead, you have to painstakingly move the arrows that move a cursor or period to the square you want to put a number in, and then you have to move the cursor to another square - you can’t just touch the square.
Numbers are hard to see and tilting the screen can bring out underlying numbers and cursors so you’re not sure which is right.
Most important, you cannot shut off entirely the sounds that are made with the moves so using it in public is a nuisance.
Absolutely not worth the money. Wait for more advanced versions to come out and visit the Australian Sudoku puzzle site in the meantime to see true touch pad puzzles.
I would be embarrassed to give this as a gift and will toss mine away instead and go back to paper and pencil.
