Description
With Sudoku Grab you can capture any Sudoku puzzle — from a newspaper, a book, even from your computer screen - using the iPhone's camera!
Just take a photograph and Sudoku Grab does the rest.
If you want to try out the grab feature for free then take a look at Sudoku Grab Lite.
First it analyzes the photograph to find the location of the puzzle - then it extracts the puzzle from picture and uses optical character recognition to identify the numbers - after that you're ready to play. Or if you're feeling lazy, you can just hit the solve button. This is one of those features that you just want to show people.
You can grab as many puzzles as you want, the puzzle database has a handy "tagging" system that lets you quickly grab and tag so you know exactly where your puzzles came from.
Sudoku Grab also comes with built in puzzles, so you've always got something to play.
You can:
*Automatically pencil in all the possible numbers
*Use smart pencils to save a bit of time
*Make pencil marks in 3 different colors
*Stuck? Just hit the hint button to fill in the current square or a random one
*Unlimited undo
*Email the puzzle to a friend - show them how clever you are with your time!
*Fully configure the app just tap the gears icon on the main screen.
*Current puzzle is saved automatically on exit - just go to the puzzle book and choose "Current Game"

Customer Reviews
Awesome
Fantastic! Best Sudoku app here in AppStore! The "grab" funcionality is awesome! Continue supporting the app with new features and overall design improvements! Thanks and congratulations!
One fatal flaw
The "grabbing" feature is brilliant. However, as a sudoku game it commits one unforgivable sin: it will give you puzzles for which there is no logical solution (you have to guess and backtrack if you guess wrong). That's no fun.
It's still a great tool for playing puzzles found on paper, but its built-in puzzles are less great.
Perfect! The only Sudoku app you need!
This app is the only Sudoku app you will ever need. Not only does it have just about every possible option a Sudoku app can have, the shining feature is the ability to take a picture of any puzzle you see and have the app convert it to a puzzle playable on your iPhone/Touch.
A brilliant app, extremely well supported, and worth the $0.99 price tag without even thinking about it.
