Music and volume.
The game itself is great but the music on the iPhone is horrendous. Why can't the sound be turned off but allow phone calls to still be heard, as I always forget to turn the volume back on when I've finished playing sudoku. I don't have the same music problem on the iPad with this sudoku app.Uniro
5 star game except bottom numbers overlap and cause mistakes
Update many months later--the overlapping numbers you must tap at the bottom of the screen is still an issue!! I hate loosing points because of touching a neighboring button that overlaps the button i want to touch!!! These number buttons are too small on an iPhone 6+ I love this game except that the numbers on the bottom overlap each other causing the incorrect number to be selected very often thereby lowering the score. It would be better to stack them (which will cost vertical space), or make them smaller in one row, but with definite clear space between each button. I'm using an iPhone 6 plus, which has a large screen, but those overlapping buttons are maddening. I always try fir no mistakes games so it is very maddening.Show lessNoboForm
Great app
This is a really great app if you like sudoku. It’s easy to use with clear rules and simple presentation. It really helps playing by lightning up all the same number when you touch one of them. There is also a note feature, which means you can make a note of the choice of numbers that can be in the same square. With different levels you can range from challenging yourself to just a little light brain entertainment. Highly recommend it.Show lessJem058
Very addictive but annoyed by ads
I’m taking away two stars because the ads are so annoying now .... I’d happily pay a small app purchased price to remove the ads but this option isn’t available.
Also, the game closes super quickly when you solve it and I want to be able to close it myself after I’ve had a chance to review what I did.
Happy to give the two stars back if this feedback is actioned because I haven’t found a better Sudoku app.Show lessOpalNera64
a bit addicting
I like how the game keeps track of previous scores; you can push yourself for better speed & accuracy. For a free app, the adverts are acceptably visible but non-obtrusive.
To make the ‘expert’ level more challenging, I only allow up to three ‘hints’ of any given number per block of nine; if, say, a number six has four possible squares inside a given block, I won’t enter any hints for six in that block until one of those squares is solved by another number.
One more twist: at ‘expert’ level, sometimes at the outset a new game will give you none of the squares in a certain block solved. I’ll enter hints only (three max) in that block and never actually enter the solutions, but only take away incorrect numbers as the game progresses.
Long review, I know, but hey, I’m kinda like addicted...Show lessdrhdw
Mr
Hate the "blarrrrgh" sound when you get the wrong number. Enjoy the game thoroughly though. The fact you can pick the number options in the squares is very handy, especially on the expert format, and the 'ads', don't get distracted at all by them. Great game.... and time waster.....Chillipantsnz
Good game
I have always been a numbers person and enjoy the challenge. This game allows you to place possible numbers as opposed to just correct numbers...and you can change your mind anytime. Good game and I play it daily.Jamiedubois
Mugs Game
I consider my self fairly bright but this App has me beaten. I also object to the. Pop-up ‘help’ screen for the terminally thick.
The idea seems simple, click to select square, whole screen turns red. Does that mean there is something wrong? The cursor indicator shows a pencil. Great let’s set this square to indicate it might be a 7. 7 fills the square with a big 7. Ok lets try that again, I’ll just remove said 7. I re-enter said 7. Doesn’t work. I’ll find the delete or rubber or eraser button. No sign of one. I know, let us assume it is the pen icon which does guide marks. No. That all adds up to high blood pressure and too much time wasted on something simple.Show lessKriss El
Good for a few minutes, but flaws become noticeable.
First off I got about 25 hours of play time on this the last year so this is by no means a first players impression. Let me say right off the bat this is a fun game but it is also too easy. Right now my fastest expert is 1:59 and that is due to the UI limitation of having to select each number and each tile vs just sticking with the last number you used. This brings me to my next point. The scoring system makes no sense. For 3 months my highest score was a Hard puzzle complete in 6 minutes mean while my under 3 minute expert puzzles were always 6-9 thousand points under the score. That was even after solving all numbers in direct descending order. Frankly if you're playing for the score it might as well be "Whose Line is it Anyway". A global leaderboard would be nice and get rid of that dumb cheer, man is it annoying.Show lessAdude1111
Great game not so great scoring
This is one of my "go to" games. It was one of the first games I downloaded years ago when I got my first smart phone. I love the interface, the colors, the layout. The highlighting of the buttons makes it easy to see which number you are working on. The note function is great. I usually turn the sound off on any game I'm playing, but I actually like the sound effects!
My only real issue is with scoring. Why is the score based on which number I "finish"? Currently you get a higher score if you finish all the 9's or 8's first. Sudoku is a game about patterns, not the actual value of the numbers you're entering in the squares. The scoring should be based on finishing any given number not the numerical value of that number. I finished a game in less time, with the multiplier at a higher number than my last game but had a lower score because the pattern of the lower numbers (1,2,3) was easier to figure out than the higher numbers (7,8,9). Please change this or have the option to turn the scoring off.Show lessshe-la23
