I have used Page-A-Day notepads before and loved them. I also love sudoku and have played it for years, so I decided to try this pad this year. Unfortunately, I've been very disappointed. The puzzles are too small for me. I make a lot of marks in the puzzles when I do them, and these puzzles are so small that there is really no room for extra marks; there is just enough room for the final number you enter. There is plenty of space where they could have increased the size of the puzzle, but it's just blank space instead. I find this frustrating.Also, apparently it's just me, but the puzzles are crazy hard. Now, I've done my fair share of difficult sudoku puzzles (I had a sudoku puzzle calendar last year too), and I love the mental challenge. But some of these are unnecessarily difficult. I don't know if it's because I can't properly write in them like I'm used to doing because they are too small, or if it's because they're just more difficult puzzles than I'm used to, but I don't really have fun solving them, and I sort of wish I would have purchased the crossword puzzle pad instead. I will not be purchasing the sudoku pad in the future again.On the plus side, I do like the quotes and the dedicated space for making lists and notes. They just really should have made the sudoku area bigger!
A friend gave me this for Christmas one year and I came to rely on it. She didn't give it to me again the next year, so I bought it for myself. Love the puzzle and love having a tear off page with all my tasks for that day.
This is the perfect page-a-day notepad for me. There are thirty lines on one side with tick boxes so one can write a daily To Do list. And the opposite side is a blank space good for quick notes or doodling. The puzzles vary from easy to I-need-to-peek-at-the-answer-key hard. The back is entirely lined, so once the page is torn off these make for terrific scratch paper especially since the paper is a heavier weight than most page-a-day calendars. The only thing I'm not impressed with is the daily quote, and this is purely subjective. I haven't found any of them to be profound or even interesting. In fact one said, "Let life happen to you." I usually doodle right over the top of these quotes.
I have been purchasing and using this page-a-day Sudoku calendar for several years. For 2015 the notepad was not as useable because it was a solid blue. For 2016 they have returned it to a very useable notepad. When you have finished the daily puzzle you have plenty of room to make notes, a to do list, shopping list, whatever you need to write down for the day.
Usually love this product, but this year, the puzzles were slightly smaller and there was no indication of difficulty. I did like that the solution was printed in a convenient location on the reverse side. Past years' front page format was better for me.
Love how the difficulty level increases each day and goes back to easy over the weekend. Great notes section, I even make sure to use the back (it's lined as well). The daily quotes are interesting as well.
Much improved over previous years, and though I had hoped there would be lines to write on under the puzzle, that's just me being nitpicky. The primary reason this lost a star is that I was completely unable to break it down by month into twelve smaller notepads, as I have in the past, even with a pair of scissors. The glue was simply too thick and would not break. This is a personal preference, so take that as you will; I wouldn't be surprised if I'm the only person who would buy this who cares to even try doing that.
The Sudoku Page-A-Day Notepad + Calendar 2016 is much improved over last year. Day and date have been moved from the whole right side of page to a space across the bottom leaving two columns (one lined, one not, except for weekends which have both sides lined) for notes. Another nice feature added to the calendar is a daily quote.
