Best FREE Sudoku??

I haven't tried all of them yet, however I really like Sudoku(free). Also, I found that I really did not like ACTSudokuFREE. Hope that helps.
I really enjoy Sudoku Unlimited, and I believe that their free version, Sudoku Classic Free is very similar. Also, it's noted in it's page in the appstore that a even better free version should be out soon.
Just has a great interface, its quick and responsive.

I've been using Sudoku Classic Free.
My first ever Sudoku was with the Sudoku Free app, but I found it a little difficult for advance levels since you only can enter a single note number per square. Worse, while the notice is italic, it's the same size and color, so it doesn't stand from your normal numbers. The app does have different board color choices, and easy number entering system.
Though, Classic Free has better notes, letting you enter all the numbers in one square. Only downside to Classic is the board is covered by the number pad to enter in numbers. Some hate this. I find it a slight annoyance. I usually know what I want to enter first anyway, and the pad never covers the row or column of the square you have selected, plus it highlights this in red.
This company said Classic will only be free until their Sudoku Daily comes out. Though, an app called Enjoy Sudoku Daily has come out, but totally different looking and isn't listed under the same company, don't know if that's the same app they spoke of.

Sudoku Daily Free is finally out. I can't wait to try it, especially with the notepad skin. This is means Sudoku Classic is not longer free.

To see what the the notepad skin looks like, look at the screens of the full Sudoku Unlimited app:

Sudoku Classic is no longer free since the developer finally released their Sudoku Daily app, where you get one puzzle a day, but basically the same as the full Sudoku Unlimited features. I just tried it and I really like the newspaper skin, especially how the permanent numbers are a real font like a newspaper, and the rest look hand written blue pen, real easy do differ. And they vary hand writing style, so if you entered two 8s, they will look different as if the whole thing was done by hand and not a font.
You can now drag the pop-up notepad around in both Classic and Daily. Plus toggle transparency on it. With separate settings on how transparent note numbers are compared to the final number, and even toggle it so only notes are transparent and vice verse anytime in the middle of a game.
I know you asked specifically about free sudoku apps, but I really can't recommend Sudoku Unlimited highly enough - definitely worth the (low) price.
Best free Sudoku app
this thread is pretty old... but it's a worthwhile discussion.
there are many more for the list:
Sudoku : )
Pocket Sudoku
Sudoku Daily
Sudoku Daily is FULL of features but almost too much to handle and figure out.
Pocket Sudoku is streamlined and a very intuitive and easy to use. Every puzzle is saved and you can go back and forth as much as you want.
Sudoku
also has a lot of features but again is a bit tricky to get used to. The game board is a bit small too because of the ad bar and the way the buttons are set up.

It's a very unique sudoku game. With power ups and explosive chains. But be warned. It is highly addictive! Checkout their teaser trailer at http://sudoktris.com
