### 5/5 — Awesome  !!! Great twist

*2016-07-07, version 1.1*

I do ALOT of different sudoku's including boy howdy's.  I didnt think it would be that much different but using colors instead is a relief from numbers.  Especially after dealing with numbers all day. I enjoy this one alot.  I'm not sure if its the difference of left brain/right brain or if its just my love of puzzles.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2016-01-23, version 1.1*

Fun, challenging game

### 5/5 — Good app

*2015-12-21, version 1.1*

Good app, I can put it down and come back to it later.  I like the easier levels, so far so good..

### 5/5 — Loads better than Sudoku by numbers

*2015-10-26, version 1.1*

The colours are great if you're a bit dyslexic, plus it's much easier to spot which colour is missing from a line or square. A really good choice of levels and apparently no bugs whatsoever. Brilliant app - thank you.

### 5/5 — Great fun

*2015-10-03, version 1.1*

I love sudoku, and I really like the color version! Tried different ones but this has been the best by far!

### 5/5 — This game is AWESOME!

*2015-05-25, version 1.1*

I got another color sudoku game and it wasn't good. When I decided to get a new one, I searched for it and found this one. When I tried this game, it was AWESOME!

### 5/5 — Thank you.

### 1/5 — Poor

*2025-11-05, version 1.13*

The game is a cheat and unsolvable without using hints. The purpose of this game is solve it without cheats or hints. It’s designed to help promote thinking patterns , and this company has ruined its design.

### 2/5 — Great idea. Needs more design work

*2024-10-02, version 1.11*

I love the concept of this game but it feels unfinished design-wise. 

*The dots in the circles need to be removed. I don’t care if it is an original tile or not. Just fixing this would make it much much more playable.
* The colors in the bottom left box need to grey out or disappear when you’ve placed all one color, just like in your regular sudoku game.
* Grey scale colors need to be used instead of green to represent neutral things (like the box backgrounds of other like colors in the game.) You can replace the grey pieces in the game with another color like teal.

It has the potential to be an awesome game!

### 3/5 — Boy Howdy Sudoku

*2015-09-27, version 1.1*

This is a great game.  I really like it better than the ones with numbers.  Keep up the good work we appreciate it and thank you very much. I give you 10 out of 10 rating.  Norma

### 4/5 — Great until ads

*2024-06-06, version 1.10*

This was a great game until the ads started to be animated. I’m done with ads. I’m willing to pay for an app that doesn’t have ads.

### 5/5 — Works a different part of your brain

*2025-04-03, version 1.11*

Fun…

### 5/5 — LOVE this app

*2023-12-11, version 1.9*

This game works your mind AND is lots of FUN! Some of my favorite things about this app are the little dots that you can put in the boxes as a possibility if you’re not sure, that it automatically takes away the small dots when they are no longer possibilities, that if puts an X through the dot IF that color won’t work, and that there is an option to check your work for errors.

### 5/5 — Color Sudoku
