### 3/5 — Mr mały

*2026-08-10, version 2.0.3*

Previous version I liked more.There was more options to choose from and now numbers are to small.

### 2/5 — Recent update has removed a player’s rank

*2025-01-21, version 1.8.7*

I have been playing this game for many years but found recently that unless you are in the top 100 your individual ranking has been removed. So after years of activity we no longer have a rank. It used to be that you could see your own, and the players close to you, rank, but that too has gone. It probably won’t be too long before we can no longer see our ranking in individual games unless we are in the top 10.  I have enjoyed this game, and also seeing progress up the ranks, so it is disappointing that this aspect of the game has been removed.

### 4/5 — Mark

*2021-04-05, version 1.6.2*

An excellent App with plenty of choices both for the beginner and advanced player. The graphics are clear and I like the way you are ranked - presumably by solution time - with players across the world.

### 3/5 — Stop fixing things that aren’t broken

*2019-05-08, version 1.5.8*

The new smaller, fainter numbers are almost impossible for me to see on my phone. Please change them back.

### 4/5 — Mister. Sudoku

*2018-12-20, version 1.5.7*

Great set up u will enjoy

### 4/5 — Excellent -almost perfect

*2018-03-08, version 1.5.4*

Love playing sudoku on this app, now I own an iPad please update it!! Zooming in on iPad is just so ugly. It's a bit small if I don't zoom. Please update!

When updated I will give 5 stars because there will be no other possible
 improvement for me!

Update 9/11/17
This app has been refreshed again and looks amazing with one exception mentioned below. It’s very comfortable and I really enjoy the different modes.

For the comment regarding not being able to save games- I always make sure I “end game” this saves your game and you can come back to it.

Not 5 stars yet, only thing I need is for the outline of the boxes in killer sudoku to make more defined, it is hard to see the edges, particularly on iPad. Please update to fix it.

Otherwise amazing. Download it now.

Edit 03/01/18
Just updated as I was so excited to see the border issue fix was mentioned in notes(thank you for listening). Sorry to say I just hate the multi coloured layout and the new targeting system for selecting a box(I do think this makes a great tutorial tool though) but it makes the screen too cluttered.Don’t change what isn’t broken. I personally find the colours distracting while also making it harder to see the numbers in the box. I appreciate others may find the coloured background easier to use.IMO All it needed was to have the borders slightly more defined(I.e slightly thicker border line).I personally can not recommend updating to the new version. Will be looking to roll mine back.

Old users- stick to old version for now
New users- enjoy the best suduko app on the store!

Edit 13/02/18
Thank you for listening, I am really pleased that the classic colouring has been returned(although it is not the exact design as before).
The targeting system seems really slow and laggy. Classic system always had instant jumping to numbers, or at least felt like that!

Edit 08/03/18
I have always given you honest feedback and I am disappointed by your poorly chosen words for patch notes. This latest update is better but I shouldn’t be able to tap 3 different cells and for it still to be on the original cell and then move, and yes this does affect my gameplay.

### 3/5 — Macht Spaß aber...

*2018-02-07, version 1.5.2*

Ich fände es super, wenn das Spiel nach dem Speichern wieder abrufbar ist und nicht wie bisher gelöscht wird. 
Auch gut wäre, wenn in dem Feld, der Reihe oder der Spalte die gemerkte Zahl gelöscht wird, wenn sie festgesetzt wird.

### 3/5 — Poor layout

*2017-11-09, version 1.5.1*

Good game to play but boundaries between groups are extremely poorly demarcated. Should have an option to colour groups in or just make them clearer.

### 5/5 — request

*2017-10-29, version 1.5.0*

I hate the new version!  You took away the ability to delete mistakes and you put in a very obnoxious clock.  Pleeaase go back to the old version!

### 5/5 — Super

*2017-07-30, version 1.4.0*

Très bon jeu et fonctionnement, même pour débuter !

### 5/5 — Bien conçu.

*2017-05-17, version 1.4.0*

J'apprécie les corrections et le fonctionnement

### 5/5 — Super

*2017-04-16, version 1.4.0*

Très bon jeu qui offre de la diversité

### 5/5 — Great game

*2017-02-19, version 1.4.0*

At last I have found an app that gives me all of the sudoku options that I enjoy. The scoring system helps to make the games addictive.

### 5/5 — Good fun

*2016-12-07, version 1.4.0*

Plenty of choice with this app. Several different versions of sudoku, each with plenty of levels. If you want pressure, try & climb the tables, if not, ignore the clock & relax.

### 5/5 — Well designed, lots of variety, good puzzles

*2016-10-09, version 1.4.0*

Great killer sudoku. Same for all the sudoku varieties. I really enjoy this app.

### 5/5 — Great

*2016-06-25, version 1.4.0*

Love sudoku..espacially the sum-doku. They're endless...however, they're a bit easy..even the red level. Still enjoying them though

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2016-05-31, version 1.4.0*

Très bonne conception jeu très complet formes niveaux etc... Je recommande

### 4/5 — Sudukos galore!

*2016-04-10, version 1.4.0*

Great app and helpful features. Only criticism is that it could do with a calculator feature to help work out the various combinations possible for example to help you solve killer sudukos.

### 4/5 — Grande diversité de jeux

*2016-03-24, version 1.4.0*

... Et de niveaux!

### 1/5 — Difficultés sur iPad Pro

*2019-10-17, version 1.6.0*

Ce jeu fonctionnait parfaitement puis soudain, après une partie terminée, la suivante s’affiche en petite taille par dessus la précédente.
Il faut redémarrer la tablette pour retrouver l’affichage plein écran.
Merci de votre réponse.

### 1/5 — Betrug!

*2012-09-30, version 1.2.1*

2,38 Euro ist NICHT gratis!

### 1/5 — Abzocke

*2011-06-15, version 1.2.1*

Schöne Abzocke. Kaum ist man auf den Geschmack gekommen, muss man, wenn man nach 20 Spielen weiter machen will 2,38€ berappen. Von wegen Gratis. Ich lösche. Habe keine Lust, mich erpressen zu lassen!!!!!!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — nix da GRATIS APP

*2011-02-07, version 1.1.0*

Nette App mit vielen Variationen. Klasse fuer Anfaenger.... Aber nach 20 spielen ist schom schluss mit gratis !

### 1/5 — Von wegen

### 1/5 — Arnaque

*2010-11-30, version 0*

Payant

### 1/5 — Pfff!!

*2010-11-25, version 0*

20 gratuits, c'est tout. Et comme l'appli invite à mettre un avis et 5 étoiles, comme vous pouvez le voir les gogos sont très nombreux. Pour un jeux qui a pour titre gratuit, il n'est pas gratuit.

Good game

### 5/5 — Peaceful game playing

### 5/5 — Love this...

*2019-05-17, version 1.5.8*

All the different varieties of Sudoku in one easy app. 

Only thing I'd like to see is offline score tracking.

But as of the May 2019 update, the font is too small on the pencil marks.

### 5/5 — Another defective upgrade ! ☹️

*2019-05-04, version 1.5.8*

Latest review has now reduced fonts and character set in the classic version, making it very hard to see the totals and the pencil notes. Please revert to the original fonts so that people like me (who don’t have PERFECT eyesight and wear glasses) can see the game well enough to continue playing. Thank you

### 5/5 — Timer

*2018-11-12, version 1.5.6*

Needs to have a timer visible

### 5/5 — Pause button

*2018-07-02, version 1.5.6*

Sir thank you for your reply i did not think you listen to us I was disappointed with the new update and said negative comments this is the best sudoku app and I give it 5 stars but could you please have a pause button . Before the update you could press hint and the timer would pause this was one of the best features as you lose time if answering the door etc. Thank you 

The pause button is magic thank you. Could you please add some more games as I have reached the max l would gladly pay for another bundle. I give you 10 stars thank for listening to me
