Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We think this is the perfect puzzle game. The beginning is great to build your confidence.
We love this!! We were a Bookkeeper for many years and this brings back good memories.
Game worked great until the os 26.2 on our iPhone was installed. Now it flickers, freezes and shuts off.
Sad to say, this app has way too many ads in the free version and they aren't all safe ads as other reviewers have mentioned. We enjoyed the game while we had a paid subscription because the various competitions and solving options made the app interesting to come back to day after day. However, as soon as that expired, the app felt impossible to use. The biggest drawback beyond the ads is there is no mechanism to get better at sodoku. The hints just fill in a number instead of letting you know what technique you should have used to get the answer. For that and the other reasons, we might as well just pay for apple arcade and play the much better sodoku app that is available there.
Challenging levels, great graphics.
This is a good app because it has a lot of variety of game modes including samurai but there are a lot of ads and the competitive mode which is our favorite is just playing against fake players. We wish it was actually playing against other real players and that there was a real ranking system. It would be cool to be able to fight for a spot on a leaderboard. Also the leagues reset every week which is way too quick for having to get 30 wins to get gold. Also would love to see more game modes like killer sudoku.
If you enjoy playing Sudoku youll love this app.
Now that Ive been playing the game for about a week the ads are out of control. We dont mind watching ads between levels but now there are pop ups constantly and it makes it impossible to play. We play the game to relax not rage out over pop ups.
So far we enjoy playing havent cashed out yet but we will be back.
We always enjoy playing sudoku so this is perfect for us to relax and play a few rounds before bed alway calm our mind.
We like sudoku, and have been enjoying the app. We do want to remove the ads but we dont want to pay to remove the ads every month instead of us once, we dont need all the hints. Ill find a different app for sudoku that lets us do that.
Easy to play and good for keeping your mind limber.
Very easy and understandable to new users and new to the game people.
This is a new version for us so far so good.
Its fun and interesting but it freezes a lot.
This game has an ad for literally every game. AND for when you complete a game. So when you play a 3-5min expert level game, you end up watching ads for about 20-25% of the time you are on this app. The game design and levels are good though. Side note, you can play competitive mode but there is absolutely no way youre playing live against others. You ALWAYS win or lose by 1-2 points at the final second of the game.
We would rate this game 4 stars if it didnt keep crashing and losing all of the progress we had made on the puzzle. We need to close and reopen the puzzle to keep saving our progress. The last star is because you only get 3 mistakes and we sometimes fat finger a number and we end up losing a game because of this. We wish we could just play and use a hint to find errors.
This app crashes WAY too often (multiple times per day). Very frustrating. If it doesnt get fixed soon, Im unloading it. Its not worth our time to replay parts of the game we already played.
Love, love, love. This game helps your brain stay strong and sharp.
This probably the one sudoku app we like the best. But we were disappointed when we realized the battle mode is simulated. Its too obvious due to how it functions and makes us not want to use that mode anymore. But other than that we really like the app.
Im not good at math,but we have a feeling that we might be another rain man.
Overall fun and challenging. We dont mind having to watch a few ads. We will not tolerate an ad forcing opening our browser mid game trying to get us to panic buy malware protection. Deleting.
Pop ups happen several times during a game. Very frustrating. Its ok in between games, but not 5+ times during one.
Great way to stimulate your brain.
We deleted the app, too many add while playing the game. We dont mind ads afterward. We would have continued to play if it hadnt been for the interruptions.
We finally learned how to work sudoku today.
Love the game but seem to hit the wrong number without realizing it as the blocks r too small and we dont have big hands! Thx.
This game is off the chain YeeHaww.
Enjoy the app, but the fake security popup warnings are very misleading.
Some ads have a volume icon to mute sounds but the 'screw puzzle' ads have a stupid high pitched noise that hurts our head! You should consider 'neurodivergent' players that have triggers such as certain noises and who need to be able to mute sounds completely when they pop up. That ad is not able to be clicked through right away and we just can NOT listen to that sound! We have to close the app to avoid it each time and it seems to be playing more often than before. We like the game but this problem might be what chases us away. We understand that ads pay the bills, but the sound effects are not vital to ads and could be mutable. When an ad has such problems, it defeats the purpose of being shown, as we can't even watch it. We've got sound turned off in the game settings but we can not silence our device entirely because we need to hear incoming messages for our on call job. PLEASE make it so things can be FULLY muted – more than ten minutes after playing and we still have that noise ringing in our head.
We love this app. We really do. We were a level 100 sudoku samurai master, we got a bunch of postcards and won a bunch of races. Then Im the last couple of weeks, this ad has started popping up that opens a web browser with a scan and antivirus type ad. We delete those from spam mail, Im certainly not going to tolerate them from a voluntary app. Ive deleted the game until Im sure theyve fixed the issue. Without that, this game is 5 stars for us. With the ad, dont bother installing.
This is a great game but be prepared to sit through two solid minutes of mindless ads during and between each game The ads reduce our time playing as we have zero interest/patience in waiting through them other similar games with no ads are more attractive due this feature.
We really like the game, but theyre way too many commercials. The commercial will interrupt your game right in the middle as you try to make a play.
Great game. This seems to be the best sudoku layout we have seen so far. BUTthere is a malware ad every few minutes. Previous reviews mention this and also an update that supposedly fixed this in July, but its Aug 4th and the ad is still there. Please get rid of the malware! Update: Aug 7th we received a response that they are working on the problem. Hopefully it gets resolved soon because like we said, this is the best Sudoku Ive played.
Other users have reported this concern (malware ads) and they claim to be fixing it. Once it is resolved we may download this game again. But its not worth the security risk. Sorry, not sorry.
A real challenge to the mind while being a lot of fun to play.
We keep getting phishing ads with norton that are getting a little out of hand. We love this game and dont want to delete it but also dont want to risk accidentally getting scammed bc of a sudoku game. Please fix it.
We have enjoyed this game until phishing malware appeared in it. It interrupts the game to take you to Safari, and "scan your device." It pops up so very often. It's been happening for far too long and designers haven't fixed it.
The user interface is a bit clumsy and the numbers are difficult to discern easily. Perhaps a darker color and/or different font. We like that there are challenging levels but using that interface to play them would take away a lot of our enjoyment.
This helped wake up an old hippie brain. Peace Out.
Well thought out display one of the best sudoku Ive played and we have tested at least 15 different ones.
This game is challenging and lots of fun to play.
It is fun and helps our illness fight our cognitive abilities.
This medium was harder than our last hard.
We love Sudoku it makes us think and help us solve problems.
All the highlighting of numbers just confuses the game. Traditional Suduko is less annoying and more fun. Get rid of the highlights.
