∙Sudoku Reviews

I love this this app puzzle app! It totally beats those boring activity books! Plus, you can take notes!!! That may sound like, “wow. It’s in all this app puzzle games.” Yes, it may be. But I am only used to having to write it down then erase it again and again! Here, I can take notes!!! Also, I love how you can pick the difficulties off the puzzle, unlike books, and other games. Those were the goods of Sudoku, but now the bads...
This game is constantly giving me adds, it annoys me a lot! But it’s not the worst thing. Another thing, this game is giving pop ups constantly... no, MORE then constantly! Every time I look at the screen, there’s a pop up at the bottom! And when I am trying to figure out the puzzle, I accidentally click on the pop up, and I’m on a whole different web site!

I LOVE playing this app, and complete at least 3 games per day. I’ve always loved the functionality of Sudoku and its aesthetic. The only two reasons I gave it 3/5 stars is because if you click anywhere else or open up a different window for a brief moment, you get attacked with a pop-up ad. I’m all for viewing the occasional ad to keep things free, but I wish the ads would be toned down just a little bit. The second and most significant reason for the 3/5 is that Sudoku kills any and all music/podcast/sound you may be listening to outside of Sudoku . It simply won’t allow you and your device will immediately go silent as soon as you open a game. Overall I would recommend Sudoku for this app, just be aware of these two things.

It’s a great game if you’re learning to play, however once you start binging the expert puzzles, you realize they all have similar formats and number correlations. For instance, once you complete a puzzle and start a new one, there will be a set of two numbers in the same position in the same location as the previous puzzle. I’ve had games where I can completely guess where a number will go based on where it was the last game. The game can be challenging, but can also get tedious after a while. P.S. has anyone else completed an expert puzzle in less than 5 minutes?

Overall, I find my experience with this this app app to be pleasant. The backgrounds are nice and the gameplay is smooth. There are a few adds, but they are not intrusive or prolific like the adds on other game apps.

On a few occasions, Sudoku randomly closes, which can be odd, but it still saves the game, so I can pick up where I left off.

You have a few options concerning how notes work (so you can mark potential numbers for a particular square), how the game will indicate mistakes, and other such options. I found it easy to negotiate and chose my options and settings.

The game automatically tells you about wrong answers. I think this can encourage guessing, but at the same time means if you do make a mistake, you do Not find yourself in the position of needing to back track or start over. One of the options is to track your mistakes, which may be helpful for those who are serious about playing accurately. For those who wish to merely play and have some fun, you don’t need to worry about the frustration of mistakes meaning you have to backtrack.

Overall, I’ve enjoyed it, despite the few issues.

I think Sudoku is, as titled above, pretty great. The graphics and animation are stunning, and the puzzles are nice. I like the Notes feature too. The problem I have with it is that if you put an incorrect answer, it disappears, ruining the logic of the game. If you put in an incorrect number, it should stay there until you realized it’s wrong. I see how it could be beneficial to people who don’t want a hard puzzle, but that’s what Easy mode is for. Logically, if an incorrect number disappears, the player could keep hitting numbers until one doesn’t. I like Sudoku otherwise, but this feature is a major issue.

I like the multiple difficulty levels. I like the wallpaper options. I even find the one bug that it has always had gives me an extra challenge. Except for the number nine, it clears the available numbers from the selection board once all nine have been entered. But if you enter the last nine and still have a nine entered as a note in one of the boxes you can’t delete. So I have to be careful when I am working with 9.
However, the latest update introduced a new problem. It keeps closing down, sometimes several times in a row. It saves the work, but it is distracting.

I am one of those stubborn people who are willing to put up with all the adds. Now that you have fixed the clear adds and return to game buttons so that they work constantly the game is more pleasing to use. I use the game to distract my self from the stress of the day to help get to sleep. Now that I can clear the adds and return to the game, that is one less stress to deal with. Thanks.

I love Sudoku! I find this app a very relaxing and fun way to play a game that's not action-based, but still takes some brain power. My only complaint is that you can't play more than one game at a time. I really wish that I could have more than one game going at a time because, while sometimes I want a challenge, sometimes I just want to play for an easy game, and it's fun to have options of what you want to play and be able to do multiple things at once. PLEASE consider making this a feature. No other complaints though!

I really ❤️this game!!! It is so fantastic, I play it every moment I get. I’m one of those people who specialize and love to do brain teasers and brain games, and this app is a really good one!👍🏻😍 I like the features this game provides, including the background and the funny sound effects. this app has always been fun for me, however, this game takes it to another level by making things more interesting and beautiful. I whole-heartedly give this game a five-star rating.🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖I recommend this to all my friends, and literally everyone. But the feedbacks I get is that the levels are too hard and it takes a lot of thinking just to do one medium puzzle. So my suggestion is based on my friends’ opinions, ,are some of the puzzles easier. I do not support this as I am a this app master and the puzzles are great and Sudoku is perfect for me. I can’t wait to see what else Sudoku does to make the game more interesting! Good job, I ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍😍😍it very much! 🙃😝

I enjoy this puzzle very much. Recently I tried the Hard level and was able to complete several puzzles with only a few misses each. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was the sudden appearance of pop up puzzles that I was not interested in and were difficult to exit from. I suppose and thought they were advertising for other games then a new window message appeared asking if I wanted my previous purchase restored. Since I answered yes I have not experienced any more pop up puzzles.

Great! Great this app. I really appreciate the different levels because I once was nothing but the hardest, but after having some very severe health problems, I almost had to learn to play all over again. Now I'm back to medium & working up. And a big plus is all the beautiful backgrounds we can see for a moment or two. As for me, don't change a thing. "It ain't broke" so it doesn't need one bit of fixing. Thanks for giving me a great thing--you can't know how much it helps me. Still feel the very same! This version of this app is the only one I play. And I play a LOT!!

I’m really enjoying Sudoku. I only do the EASY level for now, because I am using it as a de-stressing tool. Sudoku works well and I like it better than others I have tried. The layout is simple and straight forward and settings are easily managed. Also, there are fun challenges, that don’t affect game play but make it fun to mark progress. ....go ahead...load the game!

I’ve been playing Sudoku for months, and its been a good game. However I have just found out that tge game collects my clipboard, thanks to iOS informing me!
Regardless of whether a game is paid for or dree, this is SPYING. I do not know where it gets transmitted to but I am warning everybody tht this is happening!!
My sincere thanks to Apple for informing me so I may protect my privacy!!!

I've been playing this game for over a year now and am still enjoying it. I like how you can choose easy through expert (I've worked my way up to hard!) and no two games are the same. Still challenging and still fun. I've never used the 'notes' option, just the normal so can't comment on that. The backgrounds are great and I like the option to rotate through them every new game. Good job!

I like to play these games with my grandma but instead of doing it on a newspaper and have to wait till next week to look at the answers we could just see them when we get it right on this on the iPad and it tests your brain skills so what I’m saying is it’s a really fun game and everybody should 💯 try this game thank you to whoever made this Game🤩

by Botanist_Molly

Less irritating than this app on paper- you can make notes and still see them, no smudging with an eraser, lol. Four levels and you can customize how much help you get. I let it erase all the guesses that have to be wrong after I get a number right. I let it tell me when I’m wrong... but it’s all up to you.

Improvements would be to record the user’s fastest times at each hardness level. I have no problems with the game itself!

Love Sudoku. Easy to expertly challenging - you choose. Each occurrence of a new puzzle presents a gorgeous photo background. Shows you an achievement level as you play more puzzles. The achievement categories encourages you to try new levels as you get better at solving puzzles, or, if you are already great, you can jump right to the challenging expert puzzles. Been playing this this app App for a long time (Approaching 400 puzzle achievement). Wouldnt want to play another.

I played over 200 games on several other sites. These sites were set up with a highlighted cell with no apparent reason why. I learned that if you chose a number and highlighted it and you did not remember that highlighted cell, the number you chose would go into that highlighted cell. That was immediately counted as a mistake. Now I have found a website that does not do that. My time and scores have improved greatly.

I have played it constantly and I have definitely improved. Am now playing at Expert level and frequently have no wrong guesses in under an hour, which is good for me!

Update: this continues to be fun to play. It keeps my mind sharp!

I still enjoy the game; still trying to complete a hard puzzle in under 5 minutes...not easy! That said, I think I'll do what another player mentioned: deduct a star for each time I'm asked to review, since I've now reviewed it 3 times.

Update: I’ve increased the rating to 4 stars because I continue to enjoy it but it would have been 5 stars if they promised to stop asking for a review!

Still playing and enjoying it, but I've demoted the rating to 3 stars because this is the fourth time I've been harassed (yes, harassed) to review it. Oh well...

OK: I have obsessed about this app puzzles in newspapers while traveling all over the world during the last 10 years. Somehow, they have kept me connected to home. I was grateful for them.
& SOMEHOW this little app is PERFECT. I find that the medium puzzles are easy and doable. I can't get too deeply into why I've gotten 'good' at these. Could easily take on HARD soon.
Doing something that has a start-middle-end win in a short period re-sets focus and internal Completion Strategies. Happy for every reason!
Highly recommend Sudoku!!
Eat ur heart out Will Short!

I have played several this app games; and this one is definitely the best that I have found.
Still love to play this game. The background pictures were beautiful. I don’t know what has happened. The game still works, but mine has been stuck on one background picture for quite some time. I miss all the variety. Is anyone else having this issue? Still a 5 star game to play.
