First off, let me say that I have loved this game and that this has to be the only game that I actually consistently played. However the pop ups have made my enjoyment of the game non existent....in fact, they only serve to aggravate me to the point that I’ve stopped playing the game for weeks at a time. I frequently give up playing after one or two games because the ads and the pop ups just take so much from my enjoyment of the game that it’s just not worth it. No more. I’ve been playing it for years, and in fact I have paid to be rid of these ads. However after one of your upgrades this fact was apparently lost and in spite of having paid, I am again stuck with ads. This I find not only poor business practice but rather typical of the underhanded manner in which Apple finds ways to take money from unsuspecting customers. I was so desperate to play that I was willing to pay again, just to be free of those ads! However..... when I looked for a way to pay for the game, none was evident, which means the ad revenue is way more than what you get from me when I pay! Well, I’ve had enough. This customer is not satisfied. You’ve taken my money from me and continue to force me to watch ads. Unless you restore my paid up status, I will no longer play this game.

There are some issues that need to be worked out. I've just noticed that despite my phone being on silent, any time a game is finished and a new game begins, the first tile I touch makes a sound. The first time this happened, I double checked and sure enough my phone was silent but perhaps I was hearing things? Nope, it still happens... I also wish the buttons were a little more sensitive. Going back and forth between the notes function and the live tiles, I often click the notes button to turn it on and end up laying a live tile because it didn't actually kick on. Of course when this happens it is typically the wrong tile that goes down and I get a penalty mark. Also with the screen sensitivity, many times I accidentally grab the wrong tile but it's too late and I get a penalty. I wish there was some sort of time delay where if you press the correct tile within like .2 seconds it would let you put that one down and not be penalized. Otherwise this is the best sudoku app I've found in the App Store.

I genuinely think this is one of the better sudoku apps out there. I love that the notes are also highlighted when selecting a number, that the numbers on the bottom disappear when all are used, and I like the soft clicking sounds. The only reason I’m giving it 3 stars is because of the quality of the puzzles themselves, namely on expert mode. I’ve gotten to the point where 9 out of 10 expert puzzles aren’t solveable by a sudoku method other than chaining out possible options - or basically guess and check. No XY wing, no swordfish.... just guess and check. It’s so not fun. I’ve even tested this with sudoku solving apps and putting in some of the puzzles. None of the other difficulties have any of these advanced strategies, so the jump from hard mode to expert mode is just introducing the guess and check. It’s a huge bummer.
