I’m willing to pay. I’ve had pop ups they say they will remove the adds for 4.99, but adds are still there. I’m not willing to lose more money. Please help! ### 5/5 — Best Sudoku app out there *2021-02-26, version 1.4.2* This app has hundreds of puzzles for all levels of players. I bought the solitaire and sudoku bundle and I love it.

I love it!! Even my 11 year old knows now. ### 5/5 — Soduko *2019-10-01, version 1.3* Love it ### 5/5 — Snyder solitaire *2019-07-27, version 1.3* Been playing for years With no documentation of it Now there is cool ### 5/5 — Love the challenges *2019-07-27, version 1.3* This is awesome!

Sylvia ### 5/5 — Just excellent *2018-12-07, version 1.2.1* It's a very friendly app I really enjoy it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — One *2024-10-11, version 1.5* I am a beginner and I find this challenging but not overwhelming. Lots of fun and good for focus and concentration. ### 1/5 — Not interested *2014-02-18, version 1.1* Perfectly good suduko,but too many ads and too much nagging about meaningless scores and sharing Deleted ### 1/5 — Prend beaucoup de bande passante *2013-08-21, version 1.1* Jouer environ 10h et il m'avais pris 771 MEG, soit 0,771 G ### 2/5 — Not free anymore *2025-06-14, version 1.5* I used to love Eric’s games. They are well engineered. But instead of rolling over points to continue playing, they don’t give you enough points to do that because they want you to buy the points. For example, I just completed a quarter of my sudoku level and got five points. To roll over into another game I need 60 points. ### 2/5 — Buttons so close to ads... *2017-06-26, version 1.2.1* Update...Buttons so close to ads... Notes buttons are big and round but actual entry buttons are quite small and so close to ad on bottom, your finger clicks ad and away you go to the store. Forcing a person to buy the game without ads, makes me not want to buy it, nor keep the free game. BUT, if the Round Notes buttons and the actual Too Small Entry buttons switched positions so that the Notes buttons were below the actual Too Small Entry buttons AND ads on top, i would probably love the game because i would not constantly accidentally clicked ads instead of Too small Entry buttons. If there were room, the Too Small Entry buttons could be enlarged as well. Thank you Eric. ### 2/5 — Used to LOVE it *2016-05-13, version 1.2.1* Thank you Eric! I have enjoyed this app for a long time. It is very well designed. It was a 5-star game until just recently; the ads that now come up before the game sometimes take quite a long time to end - there is no way to exit out of them before they run their course. I would rather pay for a good game than have to put up with that. I will check back periodically to see if this becomes an option. ### 2/5 — Eric's siduko *2015-07-19, version 1.2.1* Slow to stop timer if I am interrupted in my game. Game took away approx. 200 points for no reason. Frustrating because of this. ### 2/5 — Meh. *2014-04-09, version 1.1* It was kind of kiddish, with the sound effects etc. Better sudoku apps out there. ### 3/5 — Eric’s soduko *2019-04-12, version 1.3* Good games, but I would rather pay for a version with no ads ### 3/5 — Ads *2018-01-03, version 1.3* Ads are really annoying. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-03-31, version 1.6* I’ve been playing this for decades to relax. I can pick the challenge level…also letting me know when I picked the wrong # avoids the usual Sudoku frustration. ### 5/5 — Want my old stuff back *2026-02-17, version 1.5* I LOVE this game, and have had it since version one. Eric keeps it up-to-date, and I play it every day. But, tonite when I opened it, I was horrified to find that the clear, easy to see boxes in the various lists of puzzles are nearly invisible. The color that shows which number I’m working on is an ugly orange scribble! I want my old colors and boxes back, please! Eric, I’m sure you thought this would look great with the darned “glass” OS, that Apple forced on us, but it doesn’t. I cannot use the “glass” OS settings. Please at least give us the option to go back to the way the game looked yesterday. P.S. anyone else remember Eric’s Fountains? 😄 ### 5/5 — Rating *2023-10-02, version 1.5* I really enjoy play this sudoku game. I haven't gone too far on on my 2nd 100 puzzle. I hope as I continue it will not cost me money. It's really challenging and I like playing against the clock. But I don't understand how u accumulate the tokens. Sincerely Nancy ### 5/5 — Best sudoku I’ve found *2023-08-24, version 1.5* I have tried several sudoku apps and I like this one best by far. Try it, you’ll like it. ### 5/5 — Best on net *2023-06-05, version 1.5* This games is the best on the net for sure. It helps with the paper games as well. Addictive for sure . ### 5/5 — Best Sudoku app out there *2023-05-24, version 1.5* Here is the comment I never sent three years ago: This app has hundreds of puzzles for all levels of players. I bought the solitaire and sudoku bundle and I love it. No ads. The one addition I would love is for a nighttime mode in Sudoku. Black squares, white numbers. Thanks for a quality game. I play daily. Update: Now you’ve done the only thing that could make this app better. Dark mode! My eyes and sleep patterns thank you! 🤩 ### 5/5 — Choices *2022-10-22, version 1.4.2* I really like being able to choose between easy, medium, and hard. The ease of using the small numbers is a big plus! The pencil for notes and the pen are the best! ### 5/5 — Eric’s Sudoku *2022-09-25, version 1.4.2* Have played Eric’s game nightly for a decade.
