Better than most
I find I like the options and clarity on this game. At least the adds don’t come until you finish the game.
Ads with a side of sudoku
I used this app for years before they got greedy. Deleted it because the ads were annoying. Came back and they somehow made it even worse. Man I love when perfectly good apps just get riddled with ads. Then make it impossible to play the game without watching an ad.
Why worse?
First, I have not found a better version so go ahead and download. However it has been updated to worse than before, especially as far as the hints. Now, oftentimes it just says to guess (‘trial and error’) as a hint!?! No more hints of finned or sashimi swordfish, no XY WING, etc etc. It was great for improving!!! Also, plus/minus - I agree adjusting to new fill options awkward but some new options can be quicker.
Decent, but could use improvements
I like the various options for play, whether it is selecting a single cell and adding multiple notes, or selecting particular number and easily entering it into multiple cells, either as notes or solved cells. What I DON’T like is how the game “locks” cells once a number has been entered. You are prevented from adding a note to a solved cell, and you must remove the number in order to add the note, which makes sense. But what doesn’t make sense is that you CAN enter a different number into an already solved sell, overwriting the number already there. This means that you can inadvertently place a number in a wrong cell by accident when playing against the clock, and you may not realize it until the puzzle crashes and you can’t solve it. You have to try to go back and see what you did wrong, or more frustratingly, restart the whole game. Either way, your time score gets ruined. Next, I often find that, when trying to switch between entering notes and entering numbers, touching the toggle button doesn’t register, so I either end up entering the opposite of what I expected and have to stop and fix it, or the game thinks I touched some “blank space” around the puzzle and opens up the bottom menu, which prevents continuing game play until you close the menu, but the game clock still continues, again destroying your time score. Finally, the leap from Hard level games to Expert level is beyond exponential and doesn’t provide the same degree of advancement as between the other levels. Speaking of the Expert level, more than half of the games that I have played recently have required Trial And Error to solve it, which is not an appropriate solution method. One recent game even did it on a cell with three notes in it, which is an insane amount of trial and error. Lastly, if you are interested in tracking your scores against others, know that it is possible to cheat. Look at the global score board, and you will see games that have been completed in seconds, which is impossible, unless you take a screen shot, pause the app, solve the game offline, then go back and enter the solution. Not sure there is any way for the developers to prevent this, so it is more of an annoyance than anything else. With all of that said, I have enjoyed this app through all of the lower levels, despite some of the technical issues, but once you get good enough at the Hard level, I wouldn’t bother to continue.
More new ads
I love this sudoku game and have continually stuck with it for years because others punish you with random ads in the middle of your game. But recently this app has introduced pop up ads in the middle of the game with no obvious X to dismiss them. This is annoying because it seems to keep the timer ticking and I’m randomly mashing around the edge of the ad to try to get it to go away. Please go back to ads only between games!!
GREAT GAME
Played for years, always challenging andsatisfying
Ads block game
I try to start a game, but an ad pops up telling me I must update before playing. The ad takes you to a different soduko game by a different developer. I waited 4 minutes but still couldn’t close the ad. You need to get rid of competitor ads like this.
Favorite Sudoku Game but Sometimes the Sounds Go Off for No Reason
This is my favorite sudoku game, but sometimes the sounds go off for no reason. It’s weird. I think it’s some kind of glitch. I really love the paint feature!
Used to be great
Ads pop up in the middle of game play, covering the board. This didn’t use to happen. It interferes with scoring of timed games. FIX THIS NOW!
They removed the paint brush
I’ll never beat my best time because they removed the paint brush. Wth
I love this sudoku.
This game actually allows you to play without a lot of noise and interruption.
Difficulty level - Ha!
Need to redo how they calculate difficulty level. Most are way harder than they say.
Grate
Besides a lot of adds good sudoku’s
Too many ads
The ads are way too much and make hard to play the game. I understand the need but there’s got to be a better way.
Too hard to “escape” from the ads
I don’t mind a briefing, but give me a way to get a out of it
Great Game
Middle of game hijacked interruptions. I understand this wonderful game must be paid for with commercials. I’m OK with that if the advertising will continue before and after each game. I will not play/endorse this game if the current policy continues. I have bought several products from the commercials. I have accumulated 2Kk+ points and really like this game. I will use another version of Sudoku if this continues. Today, 07.29.2026, my tablet recommended not clicking on popups here to stay safe. Maybe it’s my ISP? Best Regards, ZDaveC
Ad roadblock
Can’t get into the game! Full page ads that have no x or decline option. Only “open store”.
Stop pop ups of games to buy such as candy crunch!
See above
Maxi
So when I finish soduko suddenly the ad pop up and the ai robot is here but I don’t like it when you get it wrong ai robot will be mad so I decided to swipe the ai robot and continue the soduko puzzle so please remove ads when there’s ai robot
Don’t like the “upgrade”
Used to be better.
Quit working
I have been playing this game on my iPad for years. It suddenly won’t work. Redownloaded and still doesn’t load.
Ads Killed this Great App!
Unbelievably annoying apps constantly making me waste time on what was a very good app but now is so frustrating as to be unplayable.
Too many ads
The ads after each game are to long. I will never buy anything from them.
Rating
Too many ads. Ads are way too long
It no longer opens
I bought & love all Brainum games including their Solitaire and Mahjong games. However, now this Sudoku game won’t even open! (It gets updated & added to iCloud regularly just like the others.) Please restore my purchase or do whatever necessary so I may play again. Thank you!
😀😝
Was very good
fake app
fake app just becomes an add after one round
Flaw
If you want to help me, I can send you a picture of the law which continues to drop up repeatedly and it would be appreciated. I love the game. This is mine.
Ads
I don’t mind ads, but these are so long I don’t want to sit through them after every game! Geez
Too many commercials
Too many commercials
Very fine sudoku
This version has it all. It allows the player to make mistakes and “grades” him accordingly. After a period of learning, it improves the individual’s learning ability. Great version
Horrible update
Updated: came back around to see what changes have been made since my previous review a couple years ago. Sadly still a bland app and the removal of the long press is extremely disappointing. Have used this app for nearly a decade. Has always been a staple for me but wow this most recent update is horrible. Ads after ads after ads. Cannot start a single game without watching ads and having your screen filled with them as well. Not to mention the updates new ui now chugs and moves super slow.
Older version was better
I don’t get why the “trial and error” hint was introduced and other, more educational, hints were lost.
Ads
If every few correct answer continues to open a full screen video ad, I will delete this app and never look back. The last run of ads were wifi or not and you had to watch in between games and that was almost it for me. But this, this is obnoxious in the middle of a game. Fix it.
Awesome game but…..it freezes at strange times and has to be reset. That is frustrating.
See title
So good it helps your brain!
😁
Long press gone
Why would you remove features from the game?
Sudoku
The game is great, but the latest iOS update has all of the game statistics glitching out.
Too many adds
I’m trying to use the free version to see if I like the app but so many game adds makes the free version virtually impossible to play.
bon mais pub invasive
Le jeu est bien conçu mais il est souvent difficile de jouer parce que les pubs restent très longtemps… parfois, elles bloquent tout simplement et … pas de jeu possible
Great app
Works great. Love to play but hate the length of the commercials.
Locked up
Covered my screen with an ad that locked up my iPad. Moving on.
Information
I would like to press a number at the bottom and they light up numbers within game
Too much Adds
I used to love this app. But now the adds take so long to end. Sorry I will erase it.
Too many ads now
This game used to be awesome but a recent update makes it hard to get past the ads to get to the game. Will be looking for another version now.
Sudoku review
This game is really good, not too many ads, no need to pay and super fun! You can literally choose your own setting and it makes it so much better, I really recommend this one!
Ads
Too tricky to dismiss. Dark Patterns
Calming
This is a very calming game and has a few adverts but that does not spoil the fun of the sudoku app I have enjoyed playing it when I’m stressed and it is very very good for stress relief I suggest this app to everybody who has anger issues as it only tells you how to play and is very good for relief
Annoying Advertisements
The classic sudoku puzzles are fun. However, the free app doesn’t shield from annoying and long adds especially before the start of a new puzzle.
Arghh, they botched the hint feature
Major changes to how Hints are presented make this feature more annoying than useful Example: …the solution to this cell was determined by trial and error. Apply/cancel? Huh? My eyes hurt… The hints were well designed and very intuitive, instructive and useful before Now they are none of that I guess the nube in charge of development is paid in peanuts Thank you for the fish
