### 4/5 — Suduko

*2021-02-28, version 7.0*

Great game but the easy level is not that easy.

### 4/5 — Daily Sudoku Puzzlea

*2019-12-10, version 7.0*

All is good..l except the section of 9 blocks that you are working to fill also needs to be highlighted.

### 4/5 — Stay sharp

*2018-05-27, version 3.1*

Helps your mind stay in the game and sharp!

### 4/5 — Awesome

*2017-11-17, version 3.1*

Love this game! Very addicting and easy to play! Only small change I would like is to have the "number" buttons either bigger, or farther apart. I regularly hit the wrong number on accident when trying to select the correct number, affecting my scores!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2017-01-24, version 3.0*

Love this game !!!

### 4/5 — Sudoku

*2017-01-19, version 3.0*

Très bien fait. Un parcours des jeux faits et à faire vs la difficulté serait un atout.

### 5/5 — Good

*2016-11-17, version 3.0*

I like that the ads stopped. Good sudoku game with easy interface.

### 5/5 — Sudoku Mad!!!

*2016-09-14, version 3.0*

Love using the app! It's easy and self explanatory!

### 5/5 — Devarai sudoku

*2016-09-03, version 3.0*

The app is a pleasure to use. Highly addictive, though!

### 5/5 — I like this app alot.

*2016-09-03, version 3.0*

My daughter downloaded this app for me when I got my first iPad about 4 years ago. I think it is visually appealing and easy to use... especially for a beginner.

### 5/5 — Great game to relax to

*2016-05-27, version 3.0*

A brilliant version of the game.

### 5/5 — Sudoku

*2016-05-13, version 3.0*

Très bon jeu.

### 4/5 — Bad for fat fingers

*2016-05-11, version 3.0*

I love the app except sometimes I get a fault because   the numbers under the grid are too small and close together.  I also wish it had a timer on the grid screen and a reset button for when I have a fat finger issue.

### 4/5 — SUDOKU

*2016-05-02, version 3.0*

Good, I like it.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2016-04-22, version 3.0*

So addictive!

### 4/5 — Sudoku

*2015-11-26, version 2.6*

Bien!  J'apprécie le fait que je peux voir mes erreurs mais parfois j'obtiens un mauvais résultat parce que les chiffres au bas du jeu sont trop proches les uns des autres.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2015-10-05, version 2.6*

Enjoy the different levels. Relaxing or brain freeze!

### 1/5 — Boxes too small for adult fingers…

*2024-04-04, version 9.0*

It would be nice if number wouldn’t overlap- irritating when you have the right spot & number but it’s too easy make a mistake.

### 1/5 — decent but I keep accidentally pushing the wrong numbers at bottom!

*2021-03-30, version 8.0*

Default version is a relatively simple version which i like. Ads are not too many (yet). I keep pushing the wrong number because they are a little too close together, so i wish the numbers were spread a little more, and also put at the top where i cant graze a number by mistake, which I also do a lot. Otherwise, I am enjoying this game a fair bit. Except it keeps showing me how illogical I am at times....
UPDATE: Deleted. Numbers at bottom badly placed and too close together. Always accidentally hitting the wrong number. Pisses me off. Bye.

### 1/5 — Privacy concerns...

*2017-10-19, version 3.1*

I like the format of the game. I want to just play alone & not be sent to a required page to record my name & score & be rated with others. I thought that upgrading would give me a choice- nope. Deleting.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2015-06-04, version 2.6*

Was working fine but broken since update. Tried reinstalling and now will not progress beyond splash screen

### 1/5 — Note function very painful.

*2015-03-24, version 2.5*

I really tried to like this app, but the note function was a real deal breaker.       I couldn't simply toggle this on and off.  To enter notes in multiple cells required tapping the pencil icon for each cell.  Then, when I selected a previously "noted" cell to input the correct number, I had to de-select the note function for that cell before making my desired entry. Downloaded and tried twice on my iPhone 6+ in case there was some glitch, but no joy.

### 1/5 — Loved it; now hate it...ads

*2014-12-04, version 2.3*

I have had this game for years and played fairly often.  I will no longer.   25 second videos advertising other games started coming up this week when I finished a game.  I don't see a place to skip these ads. 

Also, I'm at the expert level, and most of the time I have to guess a few times in order to finish the game.

### 1/5 — Very poor entry system

*2014-07-05, version 2.3*

Why does the highlighting go away when you go to do your pencil marks?  Why can't you enter a number in another location without selecting again?? 
Very sad, poor effort.

### 2/5 — Sudoku

*2013-06-15, version 1.7*

Disappointing in that when you enter a number it doesn't clear that number from the row,column and box in notes. Basic stuff for a good Sudoku app.

### 2/5 — Disappointing

*2012-07-09, version 1.0*

Very dark on screen but the deal breaker was the annoying ads.

### 3/5 — Game

*2015-02-22, version 2.5*

It's an ok game. I like the whole set up and stuff but I wish there would be less ads. That's all there is at the top of the screen the entire time. It's really annoying. The only reason I hate the app is cause of that

Très beau jeu, convivial et intelligent. Merci

### 5/5 — Really good

*2020-05-26, version 7.0*

Good game.  Would be awesome if it had the option to fill in all the pencil marks for you.  But still 5 stars.

### 5/5 — Sharpen your skills...not your pencil!

*2020-04-16, version 7.0*

Nicest and cleanest Sudoku app ever. I love how it’s easy to use and you feel great after every puzzle layout! Keep them coming!

### 5/5 — Sudoku

I love playing Sudoku very much. I always like playing a number game.

### 5/5 — SED

*2018-04-12, version 3.1*

Really enjoying the game

### 5/5 — Great game

Fun to play when you've got time to kill and want to stay sharp!

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2017-08-17, version 3.1*

Really enjoyable. Done very well

### 5/5 — Addictive!

*2017-08-03, version 3.1*

If you love sudoku, this app is it! I enjoy the simplicity and formatting.

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2017-01-26, version 3.0*

Yes Sir a super great game.  Have had fun with it and it is challenging to play.  Would recommend a little more space between the number list at the bottom and to darken or fade the numbers that have been matched out.
