Cependant, la publicité ruine complètement l’expérience des jeux. Une grille = 1 pub. Et chaque fois des pub de jeux vidéo interactive impossible a passer. La pub 30 secondes puis 10 seconde ensuite et encore le temps de bien pouvoir cliquer que la croix minuscule. La pub est un calvaire pour cela 1 étoile. De plus que des jeux inutiles. Ils auraient pu l’intégrer dans le game pass Le mode sans pub est hors de prix ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-04, version 2.13* Good ### 4/5 — Great game one minor issue *2026-08-03, version 2.13* I like Sudoku and I play a daily. The only thing I would like to see is possibly changing the background from lighter to darker when you are in the notes. I don't know how many times I think I'm in the notes and end up inserting a number when I wasn't ready to make an entry. I just wanted to make a note. ### 3/5 — Premium? Definitely NOT! *2026-08-01, version 2.13* So come to find out that the “ premium price “ to remove ads for the sudoku game (and all others) is merely a way for Microsoft to double or even triple dip on your game premium purchase! You sign into your Microsoft account on whatever device or platform you are using, so it’s even more ridiculous that Microsoft has to try to milk you out of more money! I have a windows computer and purchased while working in my account. On me that I assumed my purchase with a huge company wouldn’t be applicable on my iPad! I can’t imagine if Apple TV only worked on my iPad and not my Roku tv without paying for it again! Or YouTube premium, which works on the tv app, windows computer, iPad and my husband’s android phone, not to mention the car! Shame on you Microsoft! I’m using your ads now as a bathroom break, coffee break. I’m making sure that NOT ONE advertiser will ever get my business! ### 1/5 — Ads are out of control *2026-07-21, version 2.13* This is a great game but I am finally quitting it in favor of other similar games. The ads are too long and very noisy interference. The ads will frequently (20% of time recently), run endlessly and the only way to stop them is kill the app. It takes all the fun out of a game I have loved and played daily for years ### 3/5 — Sudoku *2026-07-14, version 2.13* Le jeu est bien, mais il y a des options limitées. Le thème que j’aime bien, brise-glace, n’est que disponible dans les défis du jour. Je le recommande, mais si vous vous ennuyez, c’est normal. ### 1/5 — Nuisance Adverts >30secs *2026-07-12, version 2.13* Repeated adverts, no early get out. I’m going to find an alternative. ### 1/5 — Sudoku daily chalange *2026-07-09, version 2.13* I bought the Premium subscription so I could enjoy playing the sudoku daily challenges without ads. I have NOT been able to access the daily challenges since June! Please correct this!!! MV ### 5/5 — Great Game *2026-07-09, version 2.13* Best Sudoku I played! ## Frequently asked questions about Microsoft Sudoku ### What is Microsoft Sudoku?
