Too big for iPhone mini but giving 5 because ads aren’t intrusive.
Sun Oct 17 2021 Red_MamaI really like how the small (memo) numbers light up when the large numbers light up. Thrilled that the ads are kept to a minimum - the main reason I deleted the previous app. I hate ads that run for 30 seconds then make you go to a second screen and wait another 30 seconds - I refuse to download any of those apps, because those all have the same interfering ads. And the tricks used are to make me download are insulting. (I’m talking to you - Scr***le). For the developers of this game It would be nice to have ‘auto fill’ memo mode aka quick pencil and the chance to pick the color scheme. I don’t need awards or fancy rewards. Keep the game simple. I play games to calm down. I don’t want a circus - either in the app or in the ads you fed me. I’d pay a small one-time fee for an ad-free version. I don’t do monthly subscriptions and you’ll get me to pay again when I upgrade phones. Thanks.
No annoying ads
Thu Nov 18 2021 phoenixrising93I have loaded maybe three or four Sudoku apps. I get very annoyed that they spend most of the time trying to get me to load other games rather than moving on to play more games. This app has a nice feature where you can add your hints to the board. You have to be careful though, otherwise you can inadvertently place a guess when you exit Hint-record mode.
One App that I have played has the possible moves displayed (if you wish). This app has a hint if you click on a blank space and hit the light bulb. I like that it doesn’t display all of the possible hints. It feels like less of a cheat that way.
Anyways, kudos to the developers.
Awesome Graphics! EASY on my eyes!
Wed May 12 2021 DaynaleoI have played thousands of games of sudoku on other apps. Being very near sighted I find small numbers and tight layouts difficult for me. I have made many suggestions to other developers requesting upgrades and changes to make the game most friendly to visually impaired people. It appears the developers of this game listen to everything I told the others and developed a perfect solution for me. I really appreciate the thought and execution they demonstrated when they developed this sudoku game.
Great job!!!!!
Nice app. Needs harder puzzles.
Thu Oct 21 2021 jjh1054Unlike some sudoku apps, this one manages notes in the conventional and most useful way, and offers flexibility in highlighting and whether affected notes are automatically removed when a square is solved. There are a couple of other tools that I’d like, such as being able to color tag notes, but compared with its competition I highly recommend it.
My only complaint is that the puzzles never get seriously difficult, even on the expert setting. I blew through 150 Expert level puzzles at an average of about 10 minutes each, and seldom used anything more complex than an X-wing or requiring uniqueness in a solution. Add a Black Belt puzzle category and five stars.
Room for improvement
Tue Jun 13 2023 ashliz90I like the game, but I don’t like that we only get 3 mistakes, and on the 3rd mistake you have to watch a minute long advertisement to get back down to 2 mistakes. On any level harder than “easy,” it is an unrealistic expectation to stay under such a low number of mistakes in sudoku. Also, when starting a new game, sometimes you have to watch another minute long advertisement, but they don’t start the game after the ad. The games are timed as like a challenge to see if you can beat your best time, but the time starts while the ad is running, so by the time you get to actually playing the game, there’s already a minute on the clock. Overall a good game, but definitely still room for improvement.
What’s happened?
Fri Apr 11 2025 moltroubI have lots of medical appointments and this has been my go to game for years. It helped me to recognize numbers after a ruptured brain aneurysm. I can’t turn the sound off my phone as easily as I once could with the click of a button. I blame Apple for making me have to do multiple steps. I also forget to turn it back on. Vibrate doesn’t work for other health issues. Those are obviously on me. I tend not to blame God.
Sound in the app doesn’t turn off the ad sounds only the click of numbers. There’s no mute on the ads. So not possible to use in any office and it’s annoying to family members. The bug fixes lately have me seriously considering using another app. Hopefully the developers can get this worked out.
Had so much potential, ruined by ads
Mon Jul 07 2025 Meh28108428I have downloaded countless sudoku apps trying to find the best. This one is by far the best when it comes to skill level and challenge, and I love the slight push vibration when entering numbers, it really helps to know you successfully filled a cell. With it being a free app, ads are understandable. What is absolutely unnecessary is for the ads to appear at the start of every game, anytime I enter the game or change screens and DURING the game too. In my last game which was less than 4 minutes I had FOUR ads that interrupted the game play. In the roughly 30 minutes I had this app I had an ad interrupt every minute it seemed. I would gladly pay for an app if it fits my needs, but despite how great this one is I will be deleting it. Such a shame.
Basically like
Tue Oct 03 2023 jbowomanBasically like this app. I like that the number you are working on lights up all. Say working on the 4 it shows all the 4’s already on the board. Makes it easier to see. Hate the ads in between. What’s really annoying is you try to start a puzzle but then the add comes up. By the time the ad is done a minute has already gone by on the timer. I like to time myself. If this app was available free if ads for a cost I’d buy it. Major flaw is if an ad is running and you shut your phone off. It freezes on the ad. Can’t get it to unfreeze so have to delete the app and then download again ☹️
The Best Sudoku App
Wed May 21 2025 BANDITNCADEI’ve tried numerous others and this one is truly the best. The layout is neat and clean. You can click on a number and it will highlight that number in each of the nine blocks, which helps to better see the spots where the number can go. Also once you complete all nine locations for a given number, that number will be removed from the options to choose from. Aesthetics are pleasing to the eyes. Very user friendly.
Someone got greedy too many ads.
Sat Mar 29 2025 handymanronUp until recently, this was my favorite sudoku game, but recently there’s been some changes and about every minute and a half to two minutes my attention is distracted by ads. When I’m checking the board to see how various numbers fit, it ruins my concentration completely when an ad pops up unexpectedly and then is very hard to get rid of.
I’m in the App Store now looking for replacement for it. I still have two other Sudoku apps which now are far preferential over this particular one.
