What changed · US
Listing changes AppTracker has observed for this app in this storefront — new versions, price moves, rating shifts, and store copy.
New: a lesson for every technique, from singles to the Swordfish. Each one works through a real board while a voice explains it, with captions to follow with the sound off. Stuck partway through a classic puzzle? Tap Learn and it walks through the rest with you, one technique at a time, with every candidate shown. Play from here hands the board back whenever you want it. As before, a puzzle solved with Learn isn't scored. Lessons come in all eleven of the app's languages, each read by a recorded male or female voice, or by your device's own. Also new: the scanner outlines the grid as soon as it finds it, even on a sideways page. With automatic notes on, tapping a note now adjusts it instead of clearing them all. How to Play ends with a page on automatic notes.
