Problem

I couldn't get the app on my iPad so please fix it

I downloaded the app thinking “oh, there must be adds,” but there’s not a single one! Also the levels are great! I will never delete this game!

Need to be able to compete with teams and people. Love the game itself. Make it like Kings Royal or Match Villians. Better graphics

Response from developer

Thanks so much for the feedback—we’re glad you’re enjoying the game! We’re working on more ways to compete with friends, and we’ll consider team-based play for future updates. We’re also continuing to improve the graphics and overall presentation. Your examples are very helpful—thanks for helping us make the game better!

It sucks lowkey

When u try to play it doesn’t start with one where there’s only one square of that color and you have to guess the second time usually because it doesn’t make it so if one is there one has to be there in a different place and the game would be a great game if they executed it better

Response from developer

Thanks for the thoughtful feedback. You’re right that not every board begins with a one-cell color region. The early Main levels reveal a starting dog; later puzzles are solved by combining all the rules: one dog in each row, column, and color region, and dogs cannot touch—even diagonally. No blind guessing should be required, and “Next Step” can show a logical deduction if you’re stuck. We’ll keep improving the progression and explanations. If a specific level seems unsolvable, please send its number through Settings > Feedback so we can check it directly.

Worth $4

Love this game and the $4, is worth it for no ads, hints, clues, and auto marking

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the five-star review! We’re delighted that you’re enjoying DogDoku and finding the hints, Next Step clues, and Smart Exclude feature helpful. Your support means a lot to us—happy puzzling!

Response from developer

Fun

It is a fun game, but also challenging. My parents said I can play whenever because it is a brain game.

Response from developer

Thank you so much! We’re glad you’re having fun and enjoying the challenge. It’s wonderful to hear that your parents appreciate the brain-training aspect too. Keep playing and have fun! 🧠🎉

DogDoku perfect

Find The Horse Challenge is such an addictive logic puzzle game! It's super easy to get started, but the more you play, the more hooked you become. No annoying ads to ruin your gaming rhythm, so you can fully focus on the fun of solving puzzles. The rules are clear: one horse per color, one horse per row and column, and horses cannot be placed next to each other. You win with pure logical deduction, not blind luck. With progressive main levels, global daily challenges, endless practice mode, skin collection and cross-device progress sync, it's perfect for training your brain and killing time. Highly recommended!

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! I’m really happy to hear that you’re enjoying the logic and the no-ads experience. The goal has always been to make Find The Horse Challenge easy to start, but satisfying to master through pure deduction. I’ll keep improving the levels, daily challenges, skins, and sync experience. Thanks again for playing and recommending it!

DogDoku

It’s better than meowdoku

Response from developer

That’s the highest compliment we could ask for! 🐶❤️

Lots of fun and no ads!

This is way better than Meowdoku because you can pay a small amount to prevent ads and also offers other bonus features!

Response from developer

Thank you so much! We’re really happy you’re enjoying the game and its bonus features. We also wanted to offer an affordable way to enjoy it with fewer ads—your support means a lot to us!

Puzzles are not as good as meowdoku

The meowdoku puzzles follow clear logic rules. These are more haphazard with the player needing to analyze several steps ahead using trial and error to figure out the solution.

Response from developer

Thanks for the thoughtful feedback! You’re right that these puzzles can feel less immediately deterministic than Meowdoku. One feature that may help is the flag marker—you can use it to mark uncertain tiles and keep track of possible moves while thinking a few steps ahead. We’re also working on making the puzzle logic clearer and reducing the need for trial and error.

Love this game

It’s engaging and challenging yet I can choose to get hints if needed. I love it! Btw, I paid a few dollars for the ad free version. Totally worth it.

Response from developer

Thanks so much! I’m really glad you’re enjoying the challenge and that the hints feel helpful when needed. I also truly appreciate you supporting the ad-free version. It means a lot!

Wow i’m impressed. I never thought it would be this good.

It is very addicting and really fun. You should really try it.

Response from developer

Thank you so much! I’m really glad you’re enjoying it. It means a lot to hear that.

Really like over other “duko” games.

Love the dark mode, love the turn off/on the auto X. Love the cute dogs. I didn’t give 5 stars only because of the terrible fart noise when I make a mistake. That’s awful!

Response from developer

Thank you for the thoughtful review! We’re glad you love the dark mode, auto-X option, and cute dogs. We hear you about the sound effect—we’ll work on making it less unpleasant. Hopefully we can earn that fifth star! 🐶

Fun game

I love this game it’s super cool but kinda mid. I wish it didn’t give you the first dog. I wish it was a little bit harder I am on level 20 which I have gotten to in the last 10 min of downloading and I am flying through them in hopes that the next level would be harder.

Response from developer

I feel you — when the early game is too smooth, it's easy to think, "That's it?" But honestly, the devs probably designed it this way so new players can have fun and learn the mechanics first, rather than getting crushed right away. The fact that you hit level 20 in just 10 minutes actually shows you're a quick learner — that's impressive on its own. As for the first dog, I guess they wanted beginners to have a companion, but for experienced players like you, it does feel a bit unnecessary. The good news is, the difficulty does ramp up gradually — around level 50, the mechanics start getting more complex, and the margin for error shrinks a lot. By level 100+, it's practically a different game. If you're itching for more challenge right now, you could try setting your own rules — like no power-ups or time limits per level — to go full "hardcore mode" early. Or, the simplest way: just push through to level 30. When you get there, come back and tell me if it's still "too easy" 😉 Enjoy the ride — the real headache is waiting for you ahead.

I love this game.

This game is wonderful. I love all of if, no ad’s enough stuff where you can keep playing without having to watch ad’s. I will spend money if needed I love this. Makes me think, the reason I took off a star? The double tap, isn’t very reliable. I often either get it left empty, or an x, which makes it hard to finish bc it doesn’t say it’s wrong. But if double tapping was better it’d be perfect. Have a good day.

We really appreciate the thoughtful feedback too. We’ll keep working hard to make the game feel smoother and better with future updates. Thanks again for the lovely review, and have an awesome day!

Simple but Smart

The rules are easy to understand, but the levels still make you think. A great balance of casual and challenging.

Response from developer

Thank you so much! That balance is exactly what we hoped for: easy to pick up, but still satisfying to solve. We’ll keep making levels that feel fun, thoughtful, and rewarding.
