  • Ads are too intrusive

    This is actually a fun game and would be a great time waster except for the ads! I know the devs need to eat and I will happily watch an ad between games. I’m okay with watching an ad to get an extra life, etc. But this game just throws ads at you for no reason and by the time you get back into the game you forget what you were doing. It’s too annoying for me.

    Hi! We're delighted that you find the game fun, but we completely understand how disruptive the ads can be, especially during gameplay. We appreciate your honest feedback and will work on ways to improve the experience so you can enjoy the game without interruptions.
  • Fun Game for $5

    I really enjoy the game. But the ads were truly unbearable. You would just figure out a row, tap one of the numbers in that row, and it would break for an ad. Completely breaking your concentration. I had one game where there was an ad break almost every time I touched a number. So unless you are willing to pay the $5, don’t even think about downloading it. I thought the game was worth $5, and I’m now enjoying it without ads. Perhaps download it, and play a couple of games, just to see if you want the game or not. The first few games did not have very many ads.

  • Very good app!!

    If you like sudoku, but it is sometimes a bit simple, then this is the game for you.

    Super challenging, fun and really makes you think. Only downside for me so far is too many ads, and to remove them just seems like so much money. Also, cannot zoom in to a puzzle… for me with my head and eyes they sometimes go fuzzy when I’m focussing and this doesn’t help with the game at all. It’s such a shame, I would play much more if I could zoom into a puzzle.

  • Too many adds

    Instead of being rewarded when you make the right moves, you are being punished with more adds.

  • Far too many ads.

    Not a bad game to begin with but there doesn’t seem to be any progression. Level 90 is no harder than level 10. Enjoyment of the game is completely spoiled by the numerous interruptions from adverts. I’ve now deleted the game.
    I notice that Easybrain’s Killer Sudoku now has far more adverts too. Again, enjoyment is spoiled by far too many interruptions.

  • Not there

    Has potential but poorly executed. Instead of working through your choices and submitting, it penalizes you when selecting and only provides two lives. This means you can’t work out options before committing and, after level 10 or so, many possible permutations make it a guessing game not a logic puzzle. Also, the greed pushes the ad frequency past a tolerable level. If you’re okay with a sometime MineSweeper-like guess-or die model, and already plan to buy, this might be your thing. But if you prefer ad-driven use or logic, this may not be for you.

    Update: Impressive that the developer responds to reviews. Will keep an eye on this app.

  • Makes you think

    I went to school in the days before calculators, so adding numbers up in my head is second nature. I do wonder how the modern generation copes with a game like this!

    One really annoying feature - at random times, when you’ve just worked out a row or column, you press on a number to select or delete and the game flashes up “Great!” or something similar and forces you to watch an ad: by the time the ad is over you’ve forgotten the moves you were making and have to start over. PLEASE only put up ads after a line has been successfully completed!

  • Pretty Challenging

    Some of the games are harder than others but all can be solved without guessing or hints and each row can ultimately be solved on its own without having to factor in other rows. Odd/even number strategies can be helpful.

    While I expected there to be ads, it’s sad that there are ads in the middle of a game. The worst part about this is you can get a pop up ad in the middle of solving a row, and you have to quickly remember the move you were about to make before the ad so you can do it when the ad is done. These mid-game ads aren’t long but they do break your concentration, making them especially annoying. Too bad they don’t happen when a row is at least completed.

  • Love this game

    I downloaded this game from an ad in another game and I am so happy I did. I played the ad version for a couple of days and decided this was the perfect game for me so I paid to have ads removed. The rounds can be challenging and sometimes I have to guess for a certain number, but most are achievable with some brain power.
    This is my daily go to game!

  • Mid-Round Ads are a distraction

    Generally enjoy this game. It’s challenging and really makes me think.
    I also understand that the developers need to pay for their costs and make some money and am resigned to watching ads (since I’m too “frugal” to buy the paid version). However, the random ads in the middle of a round are really annoying. I’ll gladly watch an ad before or after a round. I’ll watch an ad for an extra life. Interrupting me in the middle of a round to watch an ad is a huge distraction.

    I also don’t find the “toggle” between circle and delete unintuitive. More than once I’ve meant to circle a number and then lost a life because the button was in the wrong position.
