Sudoku - Brain Puzzle Games Reviews

This takes everything out of Sodoku that I dislike and makes it more fun. In real Sodoku an early mistake can generate many other mistakes, which with this version is not possible. The highlighting number selected is good as well. They could consider trying to figure out a way for the bottom row of numbers being a little further apart, perhaps odd numbers lower and even numbers higher on the phones.

Your game was my favorite this app until for the last time , one of your advertisers hi-jacked my phone with a 30 second commercial after I had just watched a 30 second commercial. This was because I wanted to complete a game I had started. The way I see it…my phone, my rules. Your game your rules. You have advertisers that have an ad with a timer that stops when you click on “done” at the top of the page. I take a huge exception to that. They aren’t my freaking kindergarten teacher. I’m sure I’m not the only person who has quit because of this and I won’t be the last.
By the way, I already have the parking lot game and it is going too. This is simply a lack of respect and a waste of time to watch commercials on games I have.

This is the best and worst this app app I’ve found. The features of the games are great with the daily challenges, theme challenges and battles (except the obvious bots).

However, the amount of ads on Sudoku slow down the performance of my iPad, which happens to be a brand new, 9th Generation iPad that I purchased directly from Apple. Sudoku slows down the ENTIRE functionality of my iPad to the point where I have to either restart the device, or sometimes do a factory reset.

It’s obnoxious and has almost completely taken away my enjoyment of Sudoku/game. If I still play, it’s obviously due to the fact that I like to cause myself annoyance and frustration.

I loved Sudoku. Everyday would play it and didnt really mind the ads. But now it’s unbearable. In the time I would get three or four quick games in, I now spend trying to close Sudoku store, wait for even longer ads, and now Sudoku itself wants me to earn points and stars, keeps showing me popups for things I dont want nor care about. I just want to play this app. I have collected 64 pencils and 28 hints, without watching the ads for extras. I dont use those features. The time involved just “collecting” useless features is so stupid. So now for every three to four games I used to play, I can barely get one game in.

Have deleted Sudoku and will now go purchase a this app app and give my money to your competitors.

I have used many apps to play this app. I like this one the best. It is well laid out. It is also one of the few apps that has 16 x 16 versions. I enjoy that option. Also, the ads are very minimal, and they don’t last 30 seconds as they do on other apps. Good job by the developers. My only reason for giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the game freezes often. It does not correct itself. You have to delete Sudoku , then reload it. So if you are trying to keep points, this won’t be the best app for you.

I have played Sudoku for years, but I’m uninstalling it. The amount of ads are absolutely insane. I can play a game in a couple of minutes and then have 3 minutes of ads. You guys have completely lost your minds if you think this is acceptable. There are plenty of other apps out there I am now using. Sure, they have ads, but they’re at the bottom of the game board and don’t interfere with the play at all. But, as with most developers, I’m sure you don’t care at all about what we think. I’ve read many of the same complaints with no response whatsoever, and no change in your behavior. And I don’t want to hear “it’s free, deal with it.” That is unacceptable too. Bye now!

Sudoku used to be my absolute favorite. Easy to use, minimal ads, a wide variety of this app to choose from. I could easily sink an hour into it minimum! Honestly, this this app app was my escape during online grad school.

Over the past few updates, however, Sudoku has become virtually unplayable. Pausing a game triggers a three-layered ad. Starting a game triggers an ad. The ads lag my phone and often direct me to Sudoku Store against my wishes. I didn’t know that this app of all games could lag, but it actually lags when I am switching boxes or selecting numbers! Sadly I will have to leave Sudoku behind to find one that is both playable and that doesn’t make my phone chug.

I had been following the poor reviews due to the number of ads while you are trying to play, and it was interesting to see those reviews had been removed.
I had been paying this game for over a year, but slowly the number and length of ads has increased dramatically and I stopped playing. I keep checking back to see if things have improved, but sadly it hasn’t. I understand the revenue needs of the developers but when the length of the ad stream between games is a minimum of 4 times longer then the time playing, it is out of control. I will keep checking back as I enjoy the game

I absolutely love puzzles and this game is challenging and all I had hoped for. Very few adds, which is AMAZING 🤩 because I despise adds- and I seriously recommend Sudoku to anybody who loves challenging puzzles! I love how at first it asked you if you ever played this app before. So, I encourage you to get this game if you are considering!!!! Goodbye, stay safe, and be who you want to be and don’t let anyone bring you down!

Daily while playing the games certain videos we are required to watch shut down the games. The screen goes dark and the game returns only after restarting phone. I have deleted and reinstalled and it doesn’t help. Frankly, it is a nuisance. Five stars for the game, but the problem makes me want to give it 1 star. I think I may want to try versions by other makers.

There is a constant ad on the bottom of the screen, as well as ads in between new puzzles. If you make 3 mistakes, you have to watch an unskipable ad before you can try again. Some of the ads on the bottom of the puzzle are animated, which is a huge trigger for vertigo and migraines, in my case. I also wish you could choose to hide the timer and change the color of the board, such as a dark mode. I love the daily challenges, though.

ALSO bug that makes Sudoku quit after you watch ads. Makes it impossible to play. Please fix.

I really like the different options that this particular game offer...and they are all options, so if you are doing a harder game , sometimes one needs a little more support. And if it is easier and one does not need the help and wants the hard challenge it is flexible enough to have that too.

The amount of adds has gotten out of control. I’ve been thinking about uninstalling and getting a new app because they’ve been getting bad but I have so much data saved on this one I didn’t want to. I have to now because I can’t even play the game without it taking me to Sudoku Store MID GAME. I don’t click on the bottom banner add or anything. I will be trying to type in the squares and it will take me away. I’ve literally never written a review before but this is so ridiculous I just had to. I wish I could give zero stars because it’s honestly a terrible app now.

All in all it’s a good app. I like the auto pencil on expert to save me 10 minutes of doing it myself. However, the new “battle” is very poorly executed. 1.) you are not both playing the same puzzle. 2.) you are not even both playing the same difficulty of puzzle. I just played one where I counted my empty squares at 51, and the opponent finished by filling out 31. At least make us both play a hard level, or both play an easy level.

I am 77 years old and I love trying to work out the sudoko puzzles I have found this game makes my mind working. And I will keep on playing this game that you put out as long as I can. More folks needs to learn more about your games like this one. Yes I am improving on my gameplay and it has really helped me with my memory. Sharon Frankenberger

The platform itself is great, and I really enjoy it. However, the recent inundation of political ads has really irritated me. I was fine with having regular ads for games and what not. But collecting data about my political opinion by forcing me to answer Trump and NRA polls is beyond ridiculous. I would be just as annoyed if I was being forced to answer polls about Biden or politicians in any political party.

I can’t see the results of a game I just finished without the political ads, and if I restart Sudoku the same ad comes up again. It’s disappointing to see a this app app step into the 2020 U.S presidential election. I’m aware I could just pay to remove ads, but it’s highly unpleasant to have my only two choices be:

1) pay money
2) be pressured into revealing personal information and giving away my data

Thanks for the fun games, I enjoyed it, but I’ll play on a platform with regular ads now!

This was my favorite this app app until recently. When playing expert, the percentage of people completing the puzzle would usually range from mid 40% to mid 50%, now they range from upper 50% to upper 60%. Has the difficulty of the puzzles been lowered? I have been completing expert puzzles in about 5-6 minutes on average when it used to take me 10-15. I don’t know if it’s a placebo affect or if it has really gotten easier.

This is the best classic puzzle game ever barely any ads to stop you from learning and helps your mind be sharp and this is not a scam! I love this app and it is probably one of the best learning experiences and games ever you should download it it has barely any ads it keeps your mind sharp and it is not a scam that’s why I loves this app

This is the best this app app I’ve found, but it still has its flaws.
It will tell you that you are incorrect when you have found a solution that is completely valid.

I often use the pencil mode to test and eliminate incorrect solutions. When I have found a solution with no number conflicts, I will then fill in. But, I have found puzzles when a correct unique solution is labeled incorrect by Sudoku .

I love Sudoku, the only think I don’t like about it is that it advertises this terrible and offensive game called “king’s choice.” Not only is the add terrible and weird, the game gets stuck on the advertisement eveytime I play, and there is no way to exist. I have to delete Sudoku and start over, which wipes my progress and stats. Please be pickier about what adds you use and fox glitches. Thank you!

I’ve had Sudoku for awhile and it was amazing. I didn’t pay for the ad free version because the amount of ads was honestly legit. That being said they just updated it and it’s ABSOLUTELY TRASH NOW. An ad to open Sudoku , an ad to start a game, an ad after the game. Ok ok. I can live with this. My name isn’t Karen. But wait.. I can’t close out of the ads now.. so I have to close Sudoku and open it again to ( you guessed it-an ad) oh and when I swipe out of Sudoku to answer a text and open it again within thirty seconds-AD. Ok ok. This application has been aces thus far..I’m committed. I’ve had it since mid 2020 I can deal with this.. Its not that deep. I’ve literally completed every daily challenge since I opened it. I’m being a Karen..Change is gross. I like the perks that came with the update. It’s worth it. IT IS NOT WORTH IT. final straw- I swipe down on my phone to change the song. Bro Sudoku is open and you’re really fixin to throw another AD right now?? Yeah I guess so. Oh cool now I can’t close out of the ad. It’s a vicious circle. TRASH. Save your mental health bro. Sudoku had me thinking I was a Karen before I realized they’re literally just trying to force me into paying. So yeah DO NOT DOWNLOAD 💨

After playing this app, I began showing people on board an airplane who were going on an Asian tour who loved the game and said they too would teach others! I’m now 89 and although I can no longer play as well, I still love the excitement of playing! Try it you’ll li— love it!

They’ve had some bugs that didn’t allow you to complete a puzzle but posted on their Facebook page and they responded immediately they were fixing it. Game play is easy and fun! Keeps your brain working and expert is truly expert. Highly recommend!
