When trying to tackle harder puzzles I did often get stuck. I would often bail.

I do sometime screenshot them and later enter them manually on https://www.sudokuwiki.org/sudoku.htm to learn about what I missed (usually on computer).

I found this great to progress as was not anymore just blocked but with a new tool to use in a real situation.

What would help is for sure an integrated version of the solver with infos. But in app UI may be hard so as a backup it would already be helpful to get a https://www.sudokuwiki.org/sudoku.htm share link or any other detailed solver.

You can export the game while playing (three dots -> Export). This will copy your board in one line format, which you can then import to https://www.sudokuwiki.org/sudoku.htm. Also, you can export the initial board (click oh game in history then three dots and export)
I hope this solves your problem. But I think I can add links to some sites with already imported game, such as sudokuwiki, for quick access (e.g https://www.sudokuwiki.org/sudoku.htm?bd=705060000000500937000200050000010000003679500000000496000850060500192704000736200)

Thanks! I did not follow the beta pre-releases yet.

Tested the latest version.

After upgrading, it did still have my active game.
With "Export" I could indeed use then the "Import Sudoku" button on sudokuwiki.
It did not import the hints, but for me that would not be an issue as the solver would find the same state in the first iterations anyway.

In the current state my issue will be fixed on 2.0 release!

Being a specific link would not be required to me. Also it might get outdated or subject to "can you add 3 other solvers" link problem.

The only thing that was on first use confusing from a UI perspective was, "ok I clicked export", it says "Copied", but without really knowing what was copied at that moment, what it is for, may I used it elsewhere than in another same app.
But if I was looking for the feature to import it elsewhere, I think I would have guessed/tried and would be fine that it works.

Thanks again!
