Honestly, there's nothing better than the Cracking the Cryptic app for sudoku, called "Sven's Sudoku Pad." People who love sudoku have congregated around that channel. It's updated regularly and there are a lot of puzzles that can be imported into it. It gives you very helpful pencil mark controls including colors and differently placed marks. There really just hasn't been another app that compares to the level of production for this Sven's.

Shameless plug: I built an open source, completely free, no ads/tracking whatsoever sudoku with a lot of bells of whistles. It’s only web based, so no native apps. Find it here: https://sudoku.tn1ck.com/ Source is at https://github.com/TN1ck/super-sudoku if anyone is interested

I'm not able to auto-generate notes, then delete some of them.

e.g., a row contains the auto-generated notes:

    [1,2,3,4,5] [1,2,3] [1,2,3] [1,2,3]
I can't remove 1,2,3 from the first cell.

My go-to for pen-and-paper style puzzles (including Sudoku, but mainly Loopy) is Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection [0]. It's extremely portable open source C, so if you can compute on it, you can probably compile STPPC for it.

Also the novel rulesets make it so much more interesting than vanilla sudoku. Oftentimes the puzzles have really abstract/mathematical/beautiful break-ins. Definitely adds a lot of variety and replayability.

There's a nice html5 web version here: http://medmunds.github.io/puzzles/

The sudoku game is called solo.

*in addition to the js versions on the original site.

Thanks, I personally find that for these sorts of puzzle games, browser-based is the way to go. I don't particularly want to install yet another app that is a black box in terms of network communication.

Yeah they conflict, haven’t really worked too much on how to resolve this. I mostly did the auto generated notes as I found them cool, how did you expect them to work? Currently they are live updating, but I guess a one of action might more sense?
