Magic Sudoku

Thanks for the feedback! The upside down puzzles should be fixed with version 1.1 which has already been submitted and is just waiting on approval from Apple. Hold tight; it should drop at any moment

Sorry to hear that! We're definitely working on making things more robust. It sounds like the problem you're having might be due to the puzzle being too small for the 6S camera. ARKit can't do auto-focus yet so if the puzzle is too small you have to get too close and it won't be in focus -- the plus sized models seem to do a better job but we're hoping Apple updates this in the future to get better up-close focus. I do have some suggestions for things to try though: 1) The puzzle doesn't need to be lined up exactly; try backing up a bit so the squares are more in focus; it might work! 2) Try "scanning the room" a bit more before you scan the puzzle. The more data ARKit can extract from your environment the better it will do. We're working on improving the UI of the app in the next version to suggest these things preemptively. Finally, if you can send us a screenshot (or, better yet, a screen recording) of the app and a photo of the puzzle to our support team we can offer better suggestions and it will help us improve the app in future versions. Thanks in advance - Brad Update: We've tried to improve this in more recent versions. Is it working any better for you now?

Interesting! Thanks for the insights. I am pretty sure we ended up getting this fixed with the latest version. We had to do some vector math after the fact to determine whether it had been placed upside down and fix it after the fact. Might not be the most elegant solution but it seems to work!

Hi smeyer, thanks for the feedback; we're definitely working hard on improving the app for future updates. Can you send a message to our support team with more details? Especially screenshots of the puzzles it's struggling with? We bought all of the Sudoku books we could find to train our algorithms but we are learning that there are many more puzzle layouts to teach it about so we need all the data we can get. If you "tap" on a puzzle it will clear it (but you shouldn't need to to scan another one) Update: We've put in a lot of improvements in recent versions. Is it working any better on your iPhone 7 now?

Thanks for the support! Glad you're enjoying it
