New Update Brought Intrusive Ads
So I downloaded this app a few weeks ago and it had quickly become a favorite. But today when I opened it to do my daily puzzle I was slapped upside the head with an ad as soon as I hit daily puzzle. There is now a banner ad at the bottom of the puzzle screen. And an ad as soon as I finish a puzzle. At first I thought it was just on the daily puzzle, which would have been annoying but I would deal with it. No. Whenever I open any puzzle there are ads. 30 second unskippable ones. I did not agree to nor sign up for seeing this many ads when I downloaded this app. Previously I only needed to see one when I ask for it for an extra life in a puzzle.
So I come over here to see if there's something new that happened and low and behold we have an update.
That only lists "bug fixes" as what has changed. If you're going to suddenly add 400% more extremely intrusive ads then at the very least have the decency to state it. Putting in more ads is not a bug fix.Show lessMossy Kat

We apologize for any inconvenience caused. Ads, being vital for sustaining free-to-play games, help us enhance the game's quality. We're actively working on adjusting ad frequency and duration for minimal disruption. Please ensure your app is updated to experience these improvements.Fantastic except…
There’s a candy crush ad that pops up randomly. Don’t get me wrong, I expect ads on most apps at this point, so I don’t mind them, but this one breaks the whole app. The CC ad will pop up, mid-game, and no close button will appear. You are stuck on the ad indefinitely. If you try to play through the ad, it will open a new safari window to download candy crush. You can close that, but when you go back to the sudoku app, it’s just a black screen. You have to close everything and re-open the app to keep playing (of course, you have to watch another ad to start the game you were forced to pause).
I’m still giving 4 stars because this wasn’t a problem when I first started playing, so clearly it’s a bug that needs fixing. There wasn’t any other way to contact the creators, so I am hoping this review is seen by the dev team.Show lessKai from the Sky
Great games here is some suggestions to make it better!
I love everything about this and I’d buy this game if it was a one time purchase, I’d even pay 20-30 for it. I’m not subscribing to a sudoku game though. I think ads during a battle is not a great idea…(during and after is fine) I’m assuming that’s not supposed to happen and I’d appreciate if you fixed this issue. I’d also appreciate adds In between games instead of during. Please fix this. When filling in the little numbers with the pencil individually, it won’t let you add a number that cannot go in the box. This prevents you from making a mistake while trying to solve the puzzle. You should be able to pencil in what numbers you think go in an empty box even if they are wrong. You should be able to battle people you know (like how you can send a puzzle you’ve done to someone else which is awesome addition, but real time)Show lessIneverwritethese8
