The colors make me happy! I like it so much better than sudoku with numbers! Very relaxing! ### 5/5 — Simple, no ads *2021-07-01* Been playing fir years now. Simple easy and no annoying ads ### 5/5 — I love this app. *2021-02-09* It is the most wonderful thing to be able to play Sudoku with colors instead of numbers. I find it much more relaxing. I play it everyday. ### 5/5 — Color Suoku *2021-01-24* Love it. Color is a different vibe that I find relaxing, I chose the first color palette in the preview. Expert level is easier than numbers at the same level. ### 5/5 — Had this for 10 years *2020-10-29* I bought this app back when I had an iPod Touch in high school. 10 years later, this is the only game I currently have installed on my iPhone. It has been with me that whole time. Other apps came and went, but this one endured! ### 5/5 — Forever App *2019-11-27* Have had this app as long as I’ve had a cell phone... and still use it regularly. Glad they haven’t changed it... because you can’t improve upon perfect. ### 5/5 — Замечательная игра! *2018-10-09* Мне очень нравится, играю постоянно, не надоедает. Играю уровень эксперта, так интереснее. ### 5/5 — Different, but Great *2017-08-13* I love this game. The Easy level is a heck o a challenge until you get used to colors instead of numbers. ### 5/5 — Please update *2017-05-26, version 1.6.1* I really enjoy this app, and would like to add my voice to request that you update it for the new version of IOS. I would also be glad to repurchase it if you do. ### 5/5 — Love the app! *2017-05-13, version 1.6.1* I find it grounding and great for focus. It isn't loud or littered with current ad garbage. A simple, true, easy to follow gameplay. :) Please update it so it works with the new OS. ### 5/5 — LOVE!! *2014-04-12, version 1.6.1* Great game! I love Sudoku so this is a great option. Same concept, but using colors. Challenges your brain in a different way. I'm a very visual person so using colors is a very satisfying to me. So glad I found this game! ### 5/5 — Fun *2013-09-17, version 1.6.1* It's a great mind diversion. I really enjoy this and way more than I do the numbers version. ### 5/5 — Love! *2013-09-02, version 1.6.1* Always there when I need a quick distraction. ### 5/5 — Color suduko *2013-08-14, version 1.6.1* Great game. Fun to work in color vs. numbers. Can choose various challenging or relaxed modes depending on mood. ### 5/5 — Fun twist on Sudoku *2013-08-07, version 1.6.1* I've gotten my money out of this one ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don't buy it... *2010-06-14* This is awful. It was a waste of money. ### 2/5 — Bad update *2012-10-25, version 1.6* Love the game played all levels on all the difficulties twice. With the last update you added 50 levels. I started at 201 got to 248 but apparently need to play the first 200 to get the last 2 "maps". I have played at least 20 times without making it to 249. Please fix and I will change my rating. ### 3/5 — Wonderful app that keeps me challenged but still needs improvements *2013-06-07* Hi, This is a still a great game but I have another niggle. When I want to replay a game I challenge myself and send an email to myself. I now find I cannot then play the game as it will not let me put any colours in the cells. I live in Australia and use a gmail account. Please fix this. ### 3/5 — Easy puzzles *2011-10-23, version 1.5* I am not by any means an expert sudoku player, but I find these puzzles super easy. Even the expert level is only minimally challenging. Otherwise, the game is fine. Not really worth the money I paid. ### 4/5 — Suduko *2024-06-08* Great game ### 4/5 — Reviewing color choices *2021-12-07* Hi, I love this Sudoku game. I wish there were more color palettes to choose from. Color invigorates and changes one’s mood. That’s why I love it. Some of the palettes are pretty when in the menu, but do not work at all when playing the game. Monochromatic palettes in particular are very hard to use because the colors are too like each other. I encourage exploration into more palettes with colors from nature that are very different from each other.

PLEASE let 1the board display remain for a second or two before the completed board disappears when the last tile is entered so that one can enjoy the completed pattern!! ### 4/5 — Color Sudoku *2013-02-22, version 1.6* On my iPad Sudoko plays only on the portrait mode. My iPad is in a leather case that plays in the landscape mode so I play the Color Sudoko sideways! Can't do that with the "normal" Sudoko. I wish both types of games could be played on the iPad in the landscape mode. ### 4/5 — Good *2013-02-18, version 1.6* Overall a very good game. Lots of variety. The only reason I don't give it five stars is that, for a game that's all about color, it has a few shortcomings. The background color on one of the color themes is so close in shade to one of the game colors as to be indistinguishable. And some of the color themes are shades that are so difficult to tell apart. I would love to see some more imaginative color themes. Or- here's asking for the moon- be able to select my own set of colors. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Addictive *2026-06-07* I’ve been playing this game for such a long time. It’s addictive. Colors works better for me than numbers. ### 5/5 — Farbe Kunst Training *2025-12-11* Absolut wunderbares spannendes und Konzentration erforderndes Spiel. Dadurch, dass man es stoppen kann, hat man keinen Zeitverlust. Es werden trainiert -unabhängig vom großen Spaß - 1. Auffassungsgabe 2. schnellste Farberkennung 3. Kombinationsgabe/Analysefähigkeit. 4. „Spiel-Ehrlichkeit“ zu sich selbst. 5. Denkschnelligkeit. // Tipp: Versucht mal alle 9 Farben „gleichzeitig/parallel“ im Kopf zu behalten..., ist absolut schwierig; ich schaffe acht, dann hänge ich und muss meine selbst „gebastelte“ Abfragebrücke nehmen ( Gelb, Grün, Grau, Pink, Lila .... ) Fazit: topp Spiel ### 5/5 — Love the colors *2025-11-24* So much better than numbers! ### 5/5 — Sudoku man *2025-03-27* Awesome, thanks!!! ### 5/5 — Perfekt 👌 *2024-08-14* Immer wieder ein Genuss ❗️😃👍 ### 5/5 — Color sudoku *2024-07-24* Excellent game. Very challenging especially towards the end of each level. I start with 1 at each level, then 2and continue until I have finished all of the levels. ### 5/5 — Better than numbers! *2024-04-14* Easier to see, and more fun! ### 5/5 — Challenging yet Relaxing *2023-09-21* I like this version with color tiles better than the puzzles with numbers. It uses the other side of the brain which just seems to make it more relaxing. Only thing I would improve is a little more color separation between the dark green and light green tiles; it is sometimes hard to tell them apart. Nonetheless, I find myself playing this game a lot just for relaxation. ### 5/5 — Fun *2023-01-31* Fun and challenging ### 5/5 — Love this fun game and app ! *2022-11-15* Playing sudoku with colors has been an awesome change to the regular version. I haven’t gone back to playing with numbers since I downloaded this app. No ads . Just problem solving . I like to beat my own score and that keeps me motivated . App has never hung on me unlike so many others . I agree with some other reviewers that some new color palettes should be introduced but that’s not a necessity.. just a nice feature to have . Go ahead , download it , you won’t regret it ! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
