What people like

- Interface is simple and straightforward
What they complain about
- Ads pop up constantly during play
- No paid option to remove ads
- Ad sound plays even when muted
Easy to use and no ads
Best Suduko app I’ve found
Ads are ridiculous!
Not sure why all of a sudden I get an ad after I input a number EVERY time but I solved the problem, I downloaded another version from a competitor and am deleting this one. Before the ad fiasco it was a fun game.
Ads popping up randomly during puzzle play
Love the game and play the daily challenge every day. Since the last update though ads pop up randomly while solving the puzzle. If this continues I’ll lower my rating.
Game issues
It is a good game but I am deleting it due to the number of adds the interrupt games in process.
Ads
Well, I typed in No Ads, this Game popped up, I downloaded it - maybe 3 games later, I’d already seen 2 Ads. To bad, it was an okay game, but having to sit thur 2 & 3 minutes of Ads to play one game is not worth it.
Nice!
It's nice an forgiving if you are trying to get into puzzles relaxing If you listen to music
Ruining the game
I don’t understand the last update. Now you have an ad pop up after each entry. Do you even want us to play?
good
large numbers. auto removals. will be best if it can populate possible candidates. it’s a a chore. we can stay on the logic.
Hate the ads
The ads are getting ridiculous. I like the game. I wish there were a way to pay so that I can skip them. Gets worse the more games you play.
Love it, but ads are AWFUL
I love the game play. But there are far too many ads that are too difficult to get out of.
Play it every day
Like how it highlights, love the daily challenge, and ads are hardly an issue
Sign-up with LA Post now required
I launched the app and tried to play, and it won’t let you unless you create an account with the LA Post. No thanks. Deleted—there are other Sudoku apps out there.
Pretty fun
I didn’t really understand it at first, but after I beat the first level of the easy mode, I was feeling pretty good. If I was better, I would probably give it five stars.
more ads!
i have loved this game for literal years. in the last few weeks the number of ads has QUADRUPLED! there’s no option to pay for removing them (i would). they just constantly interrupt what used to be very relaxing play. i’m looking for a new version. very disappointing.
Has in-game ads
Good game BUT app did not mention ads when I downloaded - it does!
No ads
No ads, what’s more to love?!
Increased ad placement
They started adding ads several times throughout the puzzle instead of just the end. I’ll be uninstalling
Get this game it is good
This game is just so calming and no ads to interrupt your playing experience and the game is so much fun to play
easy viewing , still has ads
easy viewing due to color contrast and size. still has ads and no way to remove them
ADS!
I LOVE this game. I looked for a long time for a sudoku game app that checked all my boxes. Big numbers, clear indication about whether you are in notes mode, daily puzzles and multiple skill levels. My problem is that there are SO MANY ads that it is becoming unplayable. I would gladly pay a few bucks for an ad-free version, but there isn’t an option for that! PLEASE add an option to buy an ad-free version!
比在纸上容易很多
比在纸上容易很多
Too many adds
Adds are popping up after a few moves during the game, use to be less consistent.
Overall good
Nice that there are no ads but it does visually look a bit bulky
Ads can’t be closed
Great game. Issue, the Adds run indefinitely, no way to close them
普通のナンプレ
特段、変わったところはありません。
Awesome
Fun play everyday
Last update
After the last update it goes to commercial after every move. If this doesn’t get corrected I will delete the game
Free and Limited Ads
Ads not very annoying unless you do the daily challenge
Not worth the ads
The ads are way too long just to play a boring game.
It is almost perfect.
Good app, but there is no option to pay to opt out of ads, and the ad’s time is included in the puzzle clock.
Fun and challenging
Love the large print
I now hate this game
Every single number I place generates an ad. This is ridiculous. Pro tip: deny cellular access and turn off WiFi and screw these people.
Good, but…
Good interface, easy to use, but the puzzles are just too easy, even on expert level. They’re more like easy.
Times don't save
The best time doesn't save for some reason but it shows ur total time played...not sure y it can't show my best time for each level. There r a lot of adds but every game has them these days .
Ok but
Too many Chinese ads
Love it!
Love it!
Irritated
Played this game for likely 2 years, 4,000+ puzzles solved in expert alone. Downloaded it because the ads and trackers were minimal. Sound was always a problem even with the sound option off. It doesn’t matter the ads between puzzles will play the ad’s sound anyways. Now they got ads with sound playing at the bottom… as you are trying to play the game. Still with the sound option off! So then I checked the trackers to see if it was worth putting up with. although Apple says they aren’t tracking much, that’s not the case. After seeing the amount of stuff they are tracking from their own privacy policy on the website, I have decided to delete the game.
Beautiful
Easy to read and love the dark mode!!! The app makes a clicking noise though that there isn’t any options to turn it off. I am sending this review i. hopes that maybe it will change! If not it is something that is fairly loud when it comes to wanting to play at night. I don’t really like everything else perfectly though!
Deleted
I don’t know if the same company makes all these sudoku games. But I keep deleting them after two games because an ad pops up with no apparent way to close it
Difficult
This version is difficult to use and see. Not the best interaction / functionality.
Again
I had not played Sudoku in many years This was a nice site to resume. I especially enjoyed the feedback when I made a mistake. I look forward to tracking all of the different forms of progress.
Ads
There are ads after every level. Super disappointing as other reviews express there are no ads.
Comment
Expert is very easy Is there a way to reset the best time It is a bit hard to beat 5 minutes Display of seconds in best time is with a minus sign like 5:-56 except when the new time is in the 5 minutes too
Annoying ads now?
All of a sudden I’m being bombarded with ads every minute even in the middle of a game! Don’t mind so much once the game is over but this? Worthy of deletion!
Sudoku
Good game for the brain
It used to be fun
I have been playing this for about a year. It has been 2 boards complete, 1 add to watch. Now it seems to be forcing me to watch an ad every play. Pretty much done with this game now.
Just plain fun
This app is easy to use and it is just awesome! It’s one of those apps that doesn’t take forever to figure out, it’s straight forward
It is bad
Your sudoko needs improvement not good
